driver07: you could use the recovery partition providing there's an installation share in there... look for a folder which contains I386 subfolder etc. You can also try the CDs. if AutoStreamer detects it, i guess you can carry out the procedure.

rrtn: no, AutoStreamer was not tested on 64-bit platforms. That would require someone with 64-bit XP to test it.

Yikes, double post! To answer your question: I could, but at this time, it's very hard to even consider it, mainly because I would have to find people with Office so they can test it.

Hey Raptor,

If you do descide to do office I can test 2000 and 2003 probably XP ad well.

Hi, I just DL'd AS 1.0.30 (Full), and have never had a version before this. Running the executable returns the following:

Run-time error '372':

Failed to load control 'CommonDialog' from Comdlg32.ocx. Your version of Comdlg32.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.

Hmm do I need something else to make this work? This is running on XPSP2. Thanks in advance.

Download the following file in the AutoStreamer folder:

http://neowin.hurmoth.com/content/index.ph...&catid=71&id=29

Then click Start>>Run and type regsvr32 File location\COMDLG32.OCX then click "OK".

Did you download the Installer version or the .zip version?

Example:

If you downloaded the installer version of AutoStreamer, then you would download this file to C:\Program Files\AutoStreamer\. Then go to Start>>Run and type regsvr32 C:\Program Files\AutoStreamer\COMDLG32.OCX and click "OK". A message should popup telling you the you successfully registered the OCX file and then try to run AutoStreamer again.

Quick little question. I used Auto Patcher from the 1st page of this topic.

It done its thing. Created the .ISO

Burned using Nero (Disk At Once) That completed, no problem.

Rebooted, just to see if the CD will work on Boot from CD. But nope.

Kinda seems like the boot loader got missed out or something. Any 1 willing to shed light?

AutoPatcher or AutoStreamer? AutoPatcher just patches Windows 2000 or Windows XP systems. AutoStreamer slipstreams service packs into a Windows share.

[EDIT] Do you have your BIOS set to boot from CD?

Swiftie, what does the cd contents list? Not a .iso file i hope... You must burn the ISO file. (i.e open nero, recorder -> burn image, and select the iso!)

Yep, done that. Burnt image. CD contests lists 5 folders, 7 files.

When burning in Nero. Would it really matter wether I select Dick-at-once or Disk-at-once/96

Because I used Dick-at-once :cool:

DAO (Disk-At-Once) should do. Now check the boot priority in your BIOS. CD should be the frist device to boot from. If you are unfamiliar with the system BIOS, read the motherboard's manual to check how to access that specific option.

Ooopzzz. Meant AutoStreamer, been reading up on the AutoPatcher activity and that's what was stuck in my head. :blush: & yes I have the BIOS configured to boot from CD 1st.

BIOS been like that since I built the system :cool: But I've double checked anyway and nothing has changed. I think its the CD-R I used thats f*cked because if I try it on the laptop. I can see the "Press to boot from CD msg" but pressing a button just freezes everything and remains on the POST screen.

Going to try burnin a new CD-RW to save myself on some disks and test again. Will let you know if it was just a CD error when I return ;)

Couldnt EDIT but would just like to say that it was a CD-R problem.

Using a CD-RW to burn the ISO image worked all flawlessly.

So looks like its dodgy CD-R's & hope they dont all end being coasters :angry:

Thanx to all who tried to help. & specially nw_raptor for the creation :)

Hi

I have been reading the board and have seen that Dell XP Pro can not be used for slipstreaming without "Cleaning up".

Can anyone tell where to start please as I have slipstreamed my XP Home edition and would like to Slipstream Pro As well. :D

Thanks.

Has anyone seen this problem? I installed Autostreamer via the installer version. When I launch it It starts the windows installer fot Roxio EMC 7, why? If I hit the cancel button on the installer 3 or 4 times Autostreamer starts & runs fine. It does this on 2 of my desktops but not on my laptop. I do have Roxio EMC 7 installed on the machines in question. Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Len

why not have auto streamer fix cds w/ updates folder? its real easy...well this works with OEM cds...(tested on a Dell OEM...but the way this is done is standard, so any OEM with hotfixes this should work on)

1)go into I386

2)Delete SVCPACK Directory

3)Delete SVCPACK DL File

4)Delete SVCPACK.Inf file

5)Copy my two files to your i386 folder ( SVCPACK.DL_ and SVCPACK.IN_ )

6)Continue slipstream as normal

7)Burn!!!

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
