Nick I have data execution enabled in my bios.  Do you recommend the use of DEP?  If your answer should be no do I then need to use the PAE switch, or executexxxx switches?

For XP:

disable hidden files and folder, then on the root C:\ you will find a file named: boot.ini

Open it in notepad and add the follwoing to the end of the OS boot line:


/3GB/Userva=2560

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows XP Professsional" /fastdetect /3GB /Userva=2560 <---- add it here


save and close the file

reboot

ANNOUNCEMENT



For those of you who are using O&O with my list, you know the benefits of following that list and the use of O&O Defrag as I laid out


After discussions with O&O engineering and management O&O has now recognized the v10 issues and the are working with Microsoft to correct the problem

Until then, O&O has agreed to offer a special for everyone... this special will allow you to have BOTH VERSION 8.5 now and upgrade to VERSION 10 when the issue is resolved...

THATS v10 FOR FREE with the purchase of v8.0 v8.5 (or 8.6)

[quote]Our nice colleagues from sales thought it'd be a pity to downgrade and bundled a "two (version 10 AND version 8 licenses) for the price of one" package for you. You can purchase it here till 07/31/08: https://shop.oo-software.com/36/uurl-a3oe99wzfr. You can use version 10 on another machine or give it away for Easter.

Why do you need outlook?

Drivers, Nhancer and setting them up


it is usually best to run a DRIVER CLEAN program when changing drivers however that is NOT a requirement. I do it.

There are several on the freeware market.. DRIVER CLEAN PRO and DRIVER SWEEPER are the two I use. You must be careful with such software and ONLY flush the DRIVERS for video and not the chipset or other areas

You can find most of the latest beta drivers and older ones listed here:

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/ind ... owforum=66\

the threads have the driver links in them

usually find all drivers there... you may or may not need the modified .ini file. The modded .ini file is designed for laptops but it also allows other cards to install the drivers..

The Windows XP Performance counters are not needed unless you are a network junkie and use them

Nick, I have quite often seen you recommend to turn off "Enhance AA" in nHancer. Why is this? Personally I prefer using it as there is no reduction in quality (that I can see), but I have an increase of up to 10-20fps and a lot smoother. Isn't it more logical to allow FSX to select what to apply AA to, then let nHance apply the AA setting than forcing AA for the whole frame?

Go to C:\Windows\Prefetch

You should now only see 2 files in there similarly named:

LAYOUT.ini
NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf

NOTE: If you DO NOT SEE THOSE FILES you probably shut down the TASK MANAGER which is a NO NO!! ONLY SHUT DOWN THE SERVICES I POSTED ABOVE IN THE LIST. UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING LEAVE THE REST AT DEFAULT

BLACK VIPER IS DANGEROUS... DONT TURN OFF SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Many of the services posted at black vipers site should NOT be shut down!

If you have any other files in that folder, delete them now but leave the files NTOSBOOT and LAYOUT.ini alone.

Click START
