Fail to install WinXP Pro on KT3 Ultra2

Hi,
I've been trying to install WinXP Pro on KT3 Ultra 2 box, but it always stalled at the point after it loads all the driver and says "Setup is Starting Windows" on the lower status bar. I notice a quick flicker on the keyboard light and the keyboard is no longer responding.
My hardware:
Athlon XP2200+
MSI KT3Ultra2 Bios v5.5
MSI G4Ti4200 128MB
Corsair XMS 2700 512MB
WD1000JB
Adaptec 2930 SCSI w/ Pioneer 305S
Antec Performance Plus 860
Swiftech MCX462
Default BIOS w/ 133FSB
I also tried the install the same setup using an old Matrox Millenium II 4MB video card but if failed at the same point.
Any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

After reading a couple of posts that suggest users to remove all unnecessary devices during install, I decided to remove all my SCSI devices, take an old IDE CD-ROM drive, and BINGO.. the install went smoothly.
I guess the problem has something to do with the SCSI card and its devices. Very strange. I didn't think that booting from a SCSI DVD-ROM could be a problem.
Thanks again for all the replies!

Gc_w01_enu_nb.exe extracts to 100% but setup fails instantly in winxp pro

gc_w01_enu_nb.exe extracts to 100% but setup fails instantly in winxp pro
I'm trying to install the full featured driver for my psc-1315xi on two WinXP Pro PCs.
The first one worked perfectly.
On the second one, when I run the downloaded exe, I get the "Extracting" message, but when it goes up to 100%, the setuup window never opens. And no error messages are displayed. I poked around and found a log file that was produced. It includes the following:
GetValueByLang( f->c_str(), _T(Version), _T(LanguagesInthisCD) failed
System LangID = 1033. mapped to ENU
## The system language is ENU, but it isn't on our CD!
## We couldn't figure out a language to use, and are returning FALSE from CICECmdLine::GetLanguage()!
## GetValueByLang( f->c_str(), _T(Version), _T(LanguagesInthisCD) failed
Setup returning 1603
Any help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I think I may have solved this problem.
I have a Windows XP Pro (SP3) PC that was experiencing this issue.
Immediately after the "extracting" window went to 100% and closed, nothing happened. The software installer/setup windows never displayed.
Each time I tried it created a log file that started with this:
Parsed command line: ".\Setup.exe"
Using datfile: C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS1293\autorun.inf
## GetValueByLang( f->c_str(), _T(Version), _T(LanguagesInthisCD) failed
System LangID = 1033. mapped to ENU
## The system language is ENU, but it isn't on our CD!
There were other error messages after that, but they all stem from lines 3 and 5.
Something was preventing the setup program from recognizing that the ENU language files ARE present in this download.
By comparing two PCs, one with the problem, and one that worked just fine, I saw that the one that was failing had AutoRun disabled via a registry setting. I temporarily removed this from the registry on the PC that was failing and the setup launched and ran like it was supposed to. Here are the first few of that log file from the same PC, a few minutes later, where the only difference was that I had removed the offending registry setting:
Parsed command line: ".\Setup.exe"
Using datfile: C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS1293\autorun.inf
System LangID = 1033. mapped to ENU
We are using the system language=ENU, which is on our CD!
As you can see, the "(LanguagesInthisCD) failed" message (Line 3) has disappeared, and line 5 (now line 4) shows that it succeeded in recognizing that the ENU language setup files are present.
So, if you are experiencing this problem and you are comfortable working with the system registry, here's how I got it to work on my PC:
Start regedit
Navigate down this tree
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- - SOFTWARE
- - - Microsoft
- - - - Windows NT
- - - - - CurrentVersion
- - - - - - IniFileMapping
Below that, look to see if there is a key named "Autorun.inf"
On my PC (the one with this problem) the value for this key was "@SYS: DoesNotExist"
If your registry has this also, it may be the cause of your problem.
In the left pane of regedit, right click on Autorun.inf and select "Rename" from the popup menu.
Change the name to something like "Autorun.inf.hold"
Close regedit
At this point I rebooted my PC, but I don't know if that it actually required.
I ran the downloaded driver file. It extracted, and the setup program started like it was supposed to.
When that was done, I went back into regedit and renamed "Autorun.inf.hold" back to "Autorun.inf"
This was enormously frustrating for me, and (if you need it), I hope this solution works for you.

Re: Installing WinXP Pro SP2 / Boot Camp - Drive Bay 2 - which partition?

I am stuck and I can't seem to find the answer through Google searches.
I have a Mac Pro and I am working on installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a second SATA drive. It is a 500gb drive by Western Digital and it happens to be the same size as the Mac OSX drive - 500gb.
Because they are alike in size I can't tell which is which in the installer. Here are my options:
476938mb Drive
H: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 476938 free
476938mb Drive
I: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 200mb free
C: Partion 2 (Unknown) - 476938 free
My guess is to install WinXP on the H: partition and I just want to confirm this as I don't really wish to wipe out my MacOS on the drive in Bay 1.
Can anyone confirm this? I wished this was addressed in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. They only address one drive that is partitioned, not two seperate drives. Also nothing listed shows up with the label BOOTCAMP.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Pull your OS X drive.
XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.
For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

How to install WinXP Pro over W2k on the Satellite Pro 6100?

Hi there,
I have brought a 2nd hand Satellite Pro, Model version SP6100 (PS610E-029ZV-EN), P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb, 30GB, with Windows 2000 Pro installed.
I cannot get the wireless to connect to my router. The switch is in the correct position.
I have been advised that it could possibly be a conflict between the wireless facility and Win2000 Pro. Therefore I want to change to WinXP Pro using the key supplied with the laptop from new (dual OS). However I can't get it to reformat using an WinXP Pro disk at start up, the disk is ignored and Win2000 Pro loads. If I use the recovery cd (start with holding C down and release when it runs up) something begins which I presume to be an installation sequence however within seconds I see a reference to a z drive(?), a brief display of three rows of "invalid drive specification" and it again loads Win2000 Pro.
Can anyone advise how (or if!) I can reformat?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Possibly its a wrong booting order but usually after pressing the C button the notebook should boot up from the CD.
You said the drive does something and I think the booting from drive was activated but the drive is not able to read from the medium.
For me it sounds like a drive malfunction.
By the way: Check in the device manager if your notebook has installed WLan card. I think you cannot connect to WLan router because the card was not installed. The WLan switch is available because the WLan card is optional for this notebook. You know?

Failed to install Officejet Pro 8610 over Ethernet on Windows 8.1 64-bit

When attempting to run the installation of Officejet Pro 8610 using wired Ethernet connection the setup quickly lists the printer with correct IP and MAC address but when this is selected takes ages in the "installing" state and eventually displays a graphic indicating that the connection is broken.
I have tried disabling firewall (ESET) and a clean boot, and have downloaded latest software.
The printer is connected using a cross-over internet cable, can be pinged and obvious is detected by the setup program.
Attempting to install using WiFi has the same results, ie finds printer but then fails (although I haven't retried this since downloading latest software or with a clean boot).
FYI the printer will work when connected using a USB cable. (has been disconnected and software uninstalled before re-trying above). Don't really want to use this as the printer will be too far from normal working position. Wifi would be preferred but cabled Ethernet would be OK.
Also printer works OK via Wifi using e-mail.
Computer is a HP ProBook 4530s which has recently been upgraded to Windows 8.1 Professional x64 with no other significant problems.
Apologies if this is already answered elsewhere but couldn't find any replies which refer to something not already tried.
Thanks

Downloaded and ran the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows as suggested, still did not work. Here are some screen shots of what happenned
Right Click on Open File Location (step 3) opens the window in the previous screen shot.
I never saw any of the items in step 4, but double clicking the shortcut that was displayed started the same installation process that always fails, see following screen shots. Note I disabled the firewall while running this.

K8N Neo3-F Mobo problem - Can't install winXP Pro

I am building my second computer. The system consists of the following components:
K8N Neo3-F mobo
120GB Western Digital Hard drive ( SATA )
Floppy Drive
Sempron 3100 754pin
Pioneer DVR 111D
1GB memory ( single stick )
Video Card - MSI 7300GS 256
Can't get winXP to install. Always get errors of some kind or other. First error was the STOP 0x0000008E Page Fault and NON-paged area. Then others
during subsequent reinstall attempts. The page fault error only showed up one time. Sometimes the installation failes only during the Registering Components part of the install.
During POST, the memory check comes back as OK.
Have used Western Digital's Lifeguard utility to check the hard drive, says OK.
Any ideas of what to do next ?????

Beaudog53,
Run Memtest86 and let it run for several hours. (What are the specs on your RAM?)
Also tell us about your Power Supply.

Failed to Install Connect Pro Add-in

I cannot get the Adobe Connect Pro Add-in to install on my
laptop. I am running Windows Vista, IE 7 and Adobe Flash 9. I have
disabled pop blockers & added admin.acrobat.com to my list of
trusted sites.
Has anyone encountered an issue with installing the plug-ing?
If so, how did you resolve it.
I apologize if this question was asked and answered in this
forum, but I was unable to find it.
Thank you for any help.

Hi Matt an thanks for the email the other day.
The main issue here is this is happening across all versions of Breeze and Connect.
This isn't a problem due new browsers or operating systems.
This is a problem abobe and Macromedia created when they didn't add the right code to their program.
It's a glitch that needs to be fixed for ALL versions of this software because it's rendered it useless, by mistakes in programming.
It's not a matter of lifetime support, the problem is the developers made a mistake.
And now they have released a patch for certain versions and decided not to release them for 4.1
It would take an adobe connect developer about 5 minutes to patch this problem just like they did with 5.1.
When the Macromedia Sales Person convinced me into making the decision to purchase breeze 4.1 for my client they ASSURED me it would work with all future browsers with the flash player installed.
There is no security issue here to discuss.
The company spent around 78,000 dollars for Breeze 4.1 with all the features including custom pods, personal branding/customization and scorn compatibility.
I assure you WEBEX, CISCO or Illuminate would have fixed this a year ago..
No one in my breeze data base can download the presenter.
I have even downloaded it manually but breeze still doesn't recognize it so that means no live presentations..
This problem all started with the release of a new version of the flash player.
No other event caused this problem.
I'm not trying to sound disrespectful but am developer myself and there are just some things that you have to fix when the developer is the one who created the problem.

Installed WinXP Pro as ACPI or non ACPI on MSI 6330 board

Hi,
Recently I got myself an MSI K7T Turbo (MSI 6330 Ver 3.0) mobo. Now, I'm in the process of setting up my Duron 1.2GHz system using this mobo.
I would like to know whether this mobo is an APCI motherboard or not? Which installation option is good for my system, an ACPI enabled OS or Standard PC OS? WHat's the pro & con for these 2 types of OS installation?
Thanks,
Felix

Rwmanning,
You can try to use the Li'veDrvUni driver. Go to the driver download page and do a search for this filename - Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe
But as your sound card came pre-installed from your Dell system. This OEM sound card may require special driver from Dell and may not work with the above driver.
Gi've it a try, if not you should check with Dell for the OEM card driver.

MSI MEGA 180 - Installing WinXP Pro

I have been reading the various posts on the MSI MEGA 180 and it seems evehas had a lot of eperience with them!
I have bought one, and have tried installing Windows XP Pro on it, and this is where it all goes wrong.
I start the installatiuon process, go through the text-only bit, and get to the graphicy bit. Then, the process either just freezes, or comes up with the blue screen of death with a STOP error, usually IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I have tried the MS Knowedgebase KB314063 which suggests changing the power settings, but have had no luck with that.
Here is my spec:
-MSI MEGA 180
- W6796MS V3.3 121003 18.25.07
-AMD Athlon XP 1800+
- 1 x 512mb RAM PC2700
Many thanks in advance,
Nick.

Thanks for your help.
Brent92663's suggestion about the memory got me thinking. I didn't have any other 100mhz memory (PC2100) so I kept my 133mhz (PC2700) memory in, but changed the settings in the BIOS so it operated at 100mhz, and it now works fine!
(If anybody wants to know how todo this, let me know).
Very strange....
I have yet to try it with the normal settigns, but it is something todo tomorrow!
Thanks a lot,
Nick.

AGP Support KT3 Ultra2 + WinXP

I'm using an ATI Radeon9700 Pro with WinXP and a KT3 Ultra2 Mobo (Athlon XP 2100+).
If I look at the video card properties it's listed as running on PCI Bus 1, not the AGP Bus.
I went to the ATI Website and found the following information:
Not only do you need display drivers for an AGP graphics card, you also need drivers for your motherboard which enable AGP functionality for the motherboard chipset.
These drivers may be referred to using any of the following names:
AGP Driver
AGP Miniport
AGP VXD Driver
Chipset Driver
GART Driver
VGART
Often you will see the name of a motherboard chipset in connection with these terms. For example:
ALi GART Driver
AMD AGP Miniport
Intel VGART
VIA AGP Driver
I've installed the latest VIA 4 in 1 driver, but the card still shows up on the PCI Bus.
Is there something else I need to do to get full AGP performance from the card?
Any help would really be appreciated !
Thanks,
Joe

make it an agpx4 video card
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/service/forum/index.php?threadid=10477&boardid=13&styleid=&page=1#2

i wonder if the mod would make it work agp for you
its only tiny bits of selotape

BIOS Compatibility between WinXP Pro and Vista Home Premium

I want to install WinXP Pro on my pc. I have a Desktop 3000 J115, Model 7387-A11 and it came with Vista Home Premium. I want to make sure that the BIOS can support either OS. If it cannot, I would like to know how to get the correct BIOS. I realize that there may be a few BIOS settings that are different between the OS's.
Thanks

This is not a right forum to post this problem. You should post it in Database General Forum.
I've Windows Vista Home Edition 32 bit.
In my laptop it is running but screen resolution changes to basic colour. Due to this, some graphical distortion occurs in few places. Also, refresh in the query grid needs to be perform when you are scrolling SQL Developer data from top to bottom or vice versa.

T410 - WinXP Pro Taskbar hangs and system takes forever to shutdown

Hi,
I've been having a weird issue with my T410. I created 3 partition on the HDD, one ntfs which i install WinXP Pro, that i downgraded using IBM recovery disk (since mine came with Win7 x86). My 2nd partition, is using ntfs with win7 x64, which i clean installed using a different license. Im reserving my 3rd partition to install my linux soon. Win7 on my machine works awesome. On the other hand, my XP is running nuts, the taskbar hangs every other minute and the system takes forever to shutdown (sometimes i just dont bother to wait,i'd just force shutdown). After I click Start>Shutdown, some of the programs will start to slowly close, and then it just hangs there. If i try to open any programs, i get an error message saying that the system has initiated shutdown, but it just hangs there for like good 5 minutes. Task manager wont open during that time too...I've tried uninstalling some programs that i thought might be distrupting the shudown to no avail. Can anyone suggest me anything else that i can do?
On the worse case scenario where i **might** need to reinstall my XP using the recovery disk again, would it be possible to keep my other partitions intact? I dont remember seeing that option in any of the IBM's that i've worked with. That option came standard with my old toshiba..
Btw, im running a T410, i5 540, 4gigs DDR3 RAM, if that helps.
Thanks

USB2.0 Install Troubles With WinXP and KT3 Ultra2?

I installed WinXP (Fresh) on my system with the KT3 Ultra2 board in it. I had ACPI (Plug and Play OS Installed) turned OFF in the bios, and I have all 6 USB ports enabled in bios (legacy support off).
Upon installing WinXP and the SP1 full update (~130mb file I believe), I check the device manager to see what was up so far. I had several yellow exclamation marks, but two of the three were expected (onboard audio and my video card had no drivers yet). But the third one threw me... Under "Other devices" I had "USB Host Controller" listed....
So I installed the Via 4in1's version 4.43 using the "quick install" option. Check device manager, same result. Mr. Steveo suggested I try right clicking the controller in the device manager and choosing to "update driver". I did, and it automatically updated the driver and placed it in the USB section of the device manager (with the other USB entries).
The problem is, the device name seems weird: "Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" instead of something like "USB2.0 PCI to USB Host Controller" or something like that. The yellow exclamation mark is gone, but I just dont know if this is the correct device setup or not.
Can any of you other Ultra2 owners tell me if this is what you have in your USB controller list, and if not, how did you install WinXP to get to the point where you had the "correct" listing? Maybe it makes a difference whether ACPI is turned on during install or something?
I tried to run the Via USB2.0 driver file (7011Kb) from the MSI site to see if it would help, but it quits the install and says that the SP1 update drivers are newer and should not be updated with this driver.
Any suggestions or comments are very much appreciated.

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?

Hi, yours is 845E MAX2 motherboard, you should use Intel USB2.0 drivers .
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php
And don't use "search for new hardware", instead you manually point the drivers location to where you extracted the downloaded file. Sometimes WinXP drivers search is "blind" 8)

XP Pro fails at install with RAID 1 and 4GB RAM on P45 MB - help?

Hello all,
I am new to this forum so bear with me. Having read several threads I see that this forum is very helpful and responsive. Thanks in advance for all your help and please let me know if I could answer other questions that might help you diagnose this challenge.
System:
Antec 900 Case
MSI P45 Platinum MB
Intel Q9300 processor
4GB Corsair DDR2 800GHz
2 300GB VelociRaptors in RAID 1 configuration
Gigabyte HD3850 video card
Not sure if you need all of this, but am pretty sure you will need more. Please don't hesitate asking if you do.
My situation is that I can get the hard drives mirrored fine through BIOS using the JMicron controllers, but loading WinXP Pro 32 fails shortly after I insert the JMicron Additional Device floppy. I have tried several different versions of the device floppy files with the same result. The error I get is the blue screen Stop 0x0000007B notice that isn't helpful at all.
RAID is recognized perfectly when turned on. I just get the Stop 0x0000007B error that stops the installation. Not sure what to do. Although likely not relevent, I have some questions.
Will XP support 4GB RAM (2 x 2GB Corsair DDR2 800GHz)? If it only recognizes 3.2GB of it, will the additional memory cause such an issue as described above? If so, could I use just one 2GB module or do they need to be in pairs?
Should I scrap the JMicron controllers and uses the Intel controllers? I would like to think that this is not the remedy, as a neighbor of mine has installed several of these same systems but with Vista.
Thanks for all your help.

It would appear the the last two core temperatures are too high, but I suspect that the sensors are bad for them. These temperatures were within a few minutes of powering the un-taxed computer.
Run some sort of CPU Stressing application (Prime95, Orthos or similar) to put all cores under full load and check your core temps again. See how the sensors respond.

Interestingly, when I powered the computer after Hibernation it took longer for Windows to resume than it does to completely boot up (resuming windows status bar at bottom of screen). However when I put the computer into Stand By mode it will resume really quickly.
That is normal: In Hibernation mode, all the data that is stored in system memory is copied to a file on your hard drive (basically an image of your system memory is created.) After that the system is completely shut down. When you restart the system, the RAM image is written back to the system memory.
In S3 Standby Mode, the system still supplies power to the memory. When you switch the system back on, nothing has to be written back to system memory, as everything is still there. That is why it is faster.
Quote
Is it Stand By that I should be more interested in because of the faster recovery?
Yes. For power saving, hibernation is the better alternative.

Two questions; one, what settings would I need to awaken the computer without the power switch,
Look in BIOS under "Wake Up Event Setup" and look at these settings:
- Wake Up Event By = [BIOS]/[OS]
- Resume From S3 By USB Device
- Resume From S3 By PS/2 Keyboard
- Hot Key
- Resume From S3 By PS/2 Mouse
Play around with these settings (I don't know what devices you use) and test what works best for your purposes. I am sure you will figure something out.

USB not installing under WinXP Pro

I have a MS-6380E RAID board, and after reinstalling
WinXP Pro, the USB ports do not recognize the mouse, printer, etc. I have removed them, and attempted to update drivers using the CD, and downloads from MSI downloads, but windows tells me the drivers are for win95.
