about time these features are integrated, other browsers have these functions for a long time already.

Firefox does not download faster or view pages faster, infact some of the sites i went to were layed out worg and messy compared to view them in ie.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thats because almost all the world uses IE and some pages are coded for IE. IE handles some code the wrong way, and ignores some attributes, which makes it difficult to code pages that work the same in all browsers.
Since most of the World dont know (or dont care) that there are better browsers out there, some webdesigners dont code for them.

Im not a firefox fan (see my signature ), but what you said is just not right.

And what does all this have to do with the project ?

[what3v3r]

does this only work on the trial version of win2k3 server, or also on the full versions?

i guess the 180 day trial limit will not be removed, will it?

sorry if this has been answered before, but i dont want to read through 21 pages

edit: this happened when i tried it in VMware using the the ful version of Win2k3.

I dunno about full since I don't have it, but it should work. I'm not sure about the 180-day timebomb since 180 days hasn't passed on my install yet . To solve your imagehlp.dll problem, or any missing DLL, copy over the file from your unmodified 2003 install or from the CD (expand the compressed file).

[what3v3r]

strange that this didnt happen to anyone using the trial version, i imagine that the files should be the same. but i will try to copy the missing files, thx

edit: that was the only file missing, it works now! thank you very much for your work!

Anyone received this error?



At first I run Rainlendar, Fireworks they asked me about bunch of dlls

I copied them and received this error

Application failed to initialize properly.

I am thinking that now the dlls need other dlls but which?


Also, will VPN work on Mindows?
and Aegis, how did you manage to make taskmgr.exe work
without vmdbg.dll?

Thanks

[Aegis]

I do have vdmdbg.dll, except it's in my Windows folder. I use taskmgr.exe for my shell.

I understand that Rainlendar is a calendar app, but is Fireworks the Macromedia application? And the error message; does it just say "Application failed to initialize properly" or does it also have 0x0000000 or similar numbers? If it does, I need to know those numbers. And what shell and version of Mindows are you using (regular or nvidia)?

VPN will work, but how difficult to setup depends on if you're using Windows or a third-party application. A third-party application would be easier .

[thepunisher]

Aegis.

I am using the regular minserver.bat
The errors are similiar between these applications
They do have 0x0000000 number as I recall.

About VPN is there a third party application for it?
I thought these were only for Win98. Do you know
any good ones which can work without the "Remote Connection Manager
Service"(that won't work for me, but I don't think that's Mindows fault).

My commit charge is 32 MB on startup, which is pretty good but there are no themes and the registry size is only 4.5 MB.

[Aegis]

What is the exact 0x number of the error messages? Although I'm sure there are third party applications for it, I don't use VPN myself so I wouldn't know any. Try a search on Google .

[thepunisher]

Aegis,

the last 3 numbers are 142. But I copied all files that started with ole
and now Rainlendar works. However, Dreamweaver, Fireworks won't work. There
is no error message. After the splash screen the main screen never comes up.

I think what I should do is create a new folder on C:. Put it in the path.
Afterwards, I can run dependency walker on the desired program, save the dll list.
Compare the list with the minserver.bat file list. Merge. Make a bat file with
copy %windir% whaterver c:\dllr\. So the files are copied to the DLL repository.

What do you think? Could this work.

Also, I think there should be a list of apps which currently work with Mindows, as well as
bat files which could be placed in the root directory of an app, and make it work. Say Enable Adobe Acrobat Reader for instance.

For now, Open Office and Adobe Reader work. BTW, Open Office is ideal for Mindows since it doesn't use registry. MS Office adds 4 MB of registry.

Also, the sound does not seem to work. I used Serviwin and Windows Audio does not start. Anyone has sound on Mindows?

[pantapei]

problemmmmm


with minlogon...usb doesn t work

[thepunisher]

anybody has figured out how to turn on audio for Mindows?

Or the project is officially dead?

[Aegis]

This project is not dead, but a resource for the technologically advanced to further minimize their install. In other words, I don't plan to provide support most of the time...

@thepunisher
Check your PMs.

[gdogg]

so how big of a windows will this leave you with

my xp can game, has all my directx files i need, play music, have themes and use the internet, but also cant install programs, (most) run scripts, run basically anything a virus might try and use

i guess were on the same page with my idea and yours, except, yours is using an os no one can afford

but anyway, why soooo much ram usage? is that with video card drivers, cause that will explain it i guess

also plz note, I have done all this on my own in the past 2-3 days with trial and error using clints test as a base + fridge-raiders cleanup files (added back themes removed IE not core) and xp system builder,

[ripken204]

well i just read through all of this and it took over an hour....
how stable is this? b/c apparently alot of programs are having problems. and what is the point of having this over an nlited xp? just to free up some ram?

[gdogg]

well for many, no explorer/themes is not an option, but you can always do the same thing that Aegis , has done, but for yourself, leaving the files to keep explorer working, and such

or if you wanted, you can take it a step further,

i'd like to find out , why do much memory usage first myself, but if thats with video card drivers loaded, it makes sence then, but if not, its a bit high, even compared to what nlite can do, easily

i have done this myself, making lots of stand alone appz, and such, and it took 3 days so far, including today, and as you can see in my signature, im really close

I just started this project for my car.

I used taskmgr as shell and the commit charge is 29mb now.

[Aegis]

The screenshot shows my system with a beta Nvidia driver, 77.79 I think. It's likely not beta anymore. Can't remember, but I think the driver itself takes up ~20MB of memory.

[jimmsta]

This is very awesome. I just fooled around a bit in VMWare, and came up with one thing that might be useful. I don't know if this was a bug before, but... If you take the imagehlp32.dll (or similar dll name), and put it in the new system32 directory, I'm relatively sure that explorer can be used as a file manager. Of course, I'm an id***, and didn't test this prior to adding the file.

In either case, it might just be a good idea to put the image helper back in, just for good measure.

I must say, 29MB commit charge is impressive, especially on a server OS. I have a feeling that Microsoft is planning on creating something like this in Vista Core Server. (just a command prompt, as far as I know).

Good work to everyone involved in this project!
