Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by admin - November 06, 2005, 11:44:55 PM
Sal,

If you call it system.dat it'll probably boot, but then Windows likes to use the copy of the registry that's on c: drive.  That's fine, until you make the cd, and try booting from it, on a Windows 9x system.  Then you may start running into problems.

I've never tried allocating more than 256megs with XMSDisk, but it's supposed to support ramdisks up to 2gb.  You can change the ramdisk size by editing the autoexec.bat file.  You'll also need to resize the compressed drive if you're using drive compression.

I'm not aware of any way to get around having to restart after installing software.  For creating the boot cd, I like to use an old drive that I don't need for anything else.  Then if I need to make changes to the boot cd, I plug in the old drive, boot from it, make any changes that need to be done, then copy the drivespace.000 file and burn a new cd.

Hope this helps,

Brent

Ah thats what you´ve meant. Thanks.
I manage to get it to work another way...

just  

A:ATTRIB R:WINDOWSSYSTEM.TAT -H -R -S
R:
CD WINDOWS
copy system.tat R:windowssystem.dat
A:ATTRIB R:WINDOWSUSER.DAT -H -R -S

WIN.COM

Well it worked lol

Thanks again for your guide, it is working great.

Do you know how I can install / uninstall something without needing to restart the pc?
or how I can use more then 512 megabyte of Ram ( my pc now has 2 gb RAM for 3d applications )

Thanks again,

Sal

You still need to patch the io.sys file on the floppy disk.  Open up a dos window, then type:

edit /70 a:io.sys

You'll see a bunch of garbage characters.  That's normal.  Look on line line 247 for "SYSTEM.DAT".  Change it to "SYSTEM.TAT"  Save and exit.

Don't patch the io.sys file on your hard disk, just the one on the floppy disk.

I have a small problem..yes yes..I couldnt fix it alone.
When the autoexec executes "Win.com" I get a error like this

"Registry file was not found. Registry services may be inoperative during this session."

Here is my bootdisk for now http://www.sal4.de/new/a_new.zip" target="_blank">http://www.sal4.de/new/a_new.zip

I know the msdos.sys isnt +h +r +s now, I will try that out in some minutes.

I found some info here but I dont know if this is what I am searching for -> http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=a98a1fe422493b14ba78764177439d9a&showtopic=17310&pid=135422&st=0&" target="_blank">http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=a98a1fe422493b14ba78764177439d9a&showtopic =17310&pid=135422&st=0&

Try the following:
Go into the BIOS setup and make sure "Plug and Play OS" is set to "No"

MPXPlay can talk directly to the card, but some computers' bioses don't configure the card proprerly.  If setting "Plug and Play OS" to "No" doesn't help, you'll need to download/install the DOS drivers for the card.

No, RealScan was written to communicate with OBD-II interfaces that use the ELM chip.  The Multiplex Engineering devices use a different chip, so the commands would be somewhat different.

RealScan is pretty basic.  It reads codes, and it clears them.  Nothing fancy, but it does what I need it to do.

Software Discussion / Some problems with mpxplayer
Last post by coke - May 30, 2005, 08:27:15 AM
Hello
I have a Soundcard from Creative  Labs. It's a Sound Blaster CT4170.

I have installed the MP3Player like on http://www.mdbudde.de/mp3player" target="_blank">http://www.mdbudde.de/mp3player described.
It is based on mpxplay.
But i have no Display.
I can select none of it, because the program runs on and on.
When I boot up and the programm loads I get not 3 possibilities as normal.
I get 7.
It runs in an endless loop and selects every time by itself one of the 7 possibilities.

mpxplay-sct says: Warning: Couldn't initialize port control (UIR on COM1)! Autodetecting/testing sound card (s), please wait... No Soundkart found! (use-t if you want to see something) Soundkart init failed.

And when I use -t and play a file the cpu is at 99% using.

Can somebody say to me what is here the mistake and perhaps help me?

I am looking at purchasing some OBD Scan software. I have been using a freeware application that does not meet my needs, and I am researching what options exist.

I have an OBD hardware interface I would like to continue to use. The device is the T16-006 from Multiplex Engineering.  

Do you have any applications that will work with that hardware?

Thanks in advance...

I´ve been playing around with the new version. Looks pretty good. But one general question.
I never understood how to use the search by album, song and artist feature in the menu.
Can you give me an idea?
