mraeryceos, so to confirm, if one wishes to install a PDF printer such as the opensource PDFcreator, we need to keep system restore service only?

I think that is correct, but I am not using nLite. I am using JdeBoeck's method for taking out components. His site is gone, AFAIK.

Something else I have not removed is Windows Management Instrumentation, but I have done this for other reasons previously, not for the purpose of obtaining printer driver functionality. I should also note that I have the file framedyn.dll copied over via $OEM$, but again, I don't know if it makes a difference or not. Someone would have to try without it.

An aside... someone before mentioned starting a WIKI. I disagreed at first, but now I think it would be a good idea... I could just post a link to it on the first post, so the WIKI web address would be known to all. My objection to the WIKI was that it wouldn't be here at MSFN, but with the link FROM MSFN... well let's just say that sometimes I need to have the obvious shown to me.

Hi,

fo you have any idea what file's missing if i cant play macromedia flash file? actually it is not that i cant play the whole file but the sound is missing, so if let say im accessing one of youtube video, the video will play well but there will be no sound at all...

Cheers

I'm not a big multimedia buff, but "windows media lite" might help:
http://www.codecguid...nload_other.htm

If you have nlited, or otherwise removed all traces of players and codecs, you can also rebuild with:
k-lite codec package (standard)
real alternative
quicktime alternative

If you have not nlited, or not removed all traces of players and codecs, adding additional codecs on top of existing codecs is not a good idea, so this will likely help you only if you are in this game.

actually you can remove system restore service, and PDFCreator (Version 0.92-0.93) still keep working without any problems, at least it works for me.

Have you tried with other printer drivers?
There have been many threads whose conclusion is that Adobe Acrobat pdf printer driver depends on system restore. Are you saying that you remove system restore AFTER installing PDFCreator?

[jmbattle]

Okay, so now I am a little confused - please confirm what is required in order to use PDFcreator.

I'd swear I also used PDF printers with that service removed.

Gonna re-use a VM soon.

I never tried with real printers, but for virtual printer, they work totally fine without restore serveice, even Adobe Acrobat Printer. Here is my thought: i used to install a acrobat 5.0 pdf virtual printer on my OS, which was modified by a ealier version of nlite to remove restore service, and the printer did NOT work, also any other virtual printer like FreePDF XP and PDFCreator. So i guess it is only a little dependency mistake appeared in the ealier version of nlite and i don't know why there are still so many threads talking about not removing restore service to keep virtual printer working, they are wrong.

btw, i of course remove restore service BEFORE install PDFCreator, otherwise it's a issue of how to use XPlite

[Squirll]

And, If by some unknown factor, The file SFC_OD.DLL is missing... Where would I find it?

I had to reformat because someone who used my computer download a bunch of crap and filled the pc with spyware and a few viruses. Upon it coming back up Somewhere, the file SFC_OD.DLL was deleted seicne im getting the error messages.

Id Just like to know where I could find a way to repair whatevers missing.

[mraeryceos]

It would make me all too happy to know which files are required, rather than having to put in system restore.

I am using XP SP1, with JdeBoeck's removed files for system restore, while you guys are using XPLite and Nlite. Files taken out by JdeBoeck are:

filelist.xml
rstrui.exe
sr.inf
sr.sys
srclient.dll
srdiag.exe
srframe.mmf
srrstr.dll
srsvc.dll
sysrestr.hlp
sysrestw.chm

I had taken out system restore, so to make the pdf printer install, I had to right-click-install "sr.inf"

sr.inf contains:

I made an INF that installs/uninstalls the 16-bit Subsystem so those who thought they didn't need it can reinstall it, but I have one snag: I don't know where C:\WINDOWS\system\setup.inf is located on the XP CD. It might not be an important file but just to be sure. If not I will publish the INF with setup.inf included.

The INF works very well.

Nevermind, I found it

--

Alright here it is.



To restore the 16-bit subsytem:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection NTVDM_nlite.inf,Ntvdm.Install

To uninstall the 16-bit subsytem:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection NTVDM_nlite.inf,Ntvdm.Remove

Insert the path to an un-nLited CD or other source when prompted. A restart should not be required. I've only tested on XP SP2 though.
