nope the facelift lights are the same as regular jap spec lights i.e. no fogs but twin brake lights. The only difference is purely cosmetic in that the reflector is slightly different and the backing/surround is a nice modern grey instead of clear over black.

but but but..

handbuilt, lots of lightweight aluminium, blah blah. They look fabulous. Bit unsure about the rear yank-style-80s light cluster/spoiler, but I just love the rest. They're so low and small and special in the flesh.

I'd pay £250 for a weekend test drive.. wonder if Honda will bite?

cant you do the roll back/uninstall in safe mode (f8 at boot)?

doesn't look that way...

When booting in safe mode it starts to load drivers, gets as far as a atisgkaf.sys driver then stalls and sits there

Well it's Carl, but that was taken when I signed up and close friends and family often call me Carlos or carlywarly as it's what my younger sister used to say

I just got my Volks in 18s and I think they look miles better (had 19" Pacifics before). I'm running 285/35 on the rear and I think the fat tyre makes it look muscle-car-ish.

regarding the feeling, well I haven't noticed such a difference, but it's as though there is a touch more damping over slight road roughness, but anything more than slight in the road feels pretty much as bumpy as before.

Name changing = annoying.

It is confusing but I keep getting called Carlos When I ring people even after many times like Chris Wilson they still say oh hi Carlos

I hate shitty software problems. It seems that Sage are second only to Symantec.. and it's Act! 2006 here we're talking about, so it used to be Symantec anyway.

I've just never ever seen anything so pathetic. Nearly every single problem on their knowledgebase says "there are many things which can cause this.. try.. then try ... then try.." FFS. They just don't know do they. grrr.

Once again my hatred for ACT! and all things Symantec has been reassured by the 'simple' installation of a trial version for a customer.

When booting in safe mode it starts to load drivers, gets as far as a atisgkaf.sys driver then stalls and sits there. This is obiously a graphics driver.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Am thinking i could rename that ati driver and see if the machine will boot aftwards...

Could be chipset related driver (ati rs4x0 integrated chipset)

but.. I think you're right anyway. A quick google of atisgkaf returns people with the same problem as you!

I would boot with some kind of MiniPE recovery disk as Pete says, like Barts disk or ERD Commander, and try various things such as replacing that file with a copy of vga.sys or deleting (renaming) the file or even better just removing the whole entry for that peice of hardware in hklm\system\[whatever control set.. check them all]\enum\pci

If you don't have a miniPE disk, you can open the file \windows\system32\config\system in regedit from another XP machine. Just connect up the disk and open regedit, highlight HKLM, go to Load Hive and load the file system from that path, give it whatever name you like and make sure you unload it afterwards.

very nice

subtle

ah interesting. There are no options relating to Active Desktop when using firefox so it'd never happen

I removed my rear spoiler (normal boot spoiler) once and the sticky crap there was unbelieveable. Like the double-sided grey foam but impossible to remove. I ended up using the green scouring side of a sponge (dish washing sponge) with loads of alcohol and lighter-petrol, which made a right mess of the paintwork, then used some Farecla G3 rubbing compound to restore the paintwork afterwards.

I then refitted the spoiler 'cause I didn't like the look without.

I did a system restore which did the trick! Many thanks anyway!

missed that bit sorry

it is not the text thats blue but the BG, it has lost transparency that's all.

 

I dont think he has encrypted his desktop shortcuts lol

yup that's the one. I've seen this once or twice too. I can't remember if something stupid like forcing a rebuild of the shell icon cache sorted it... or if it was another performance related option under the advanced desktop/appearance properties.

WHAT! I don't believe it! You never cracked a smile on that stone ridden pooh face of yours?! No!

are you still here? I thought you'd have fucked off to http://www.zroadster.net/forum/portal.php by now.

That's the only problem I think I have with this NA exhaust.. when it was on the car (an NA manual) the ground clearance was pretty poor. I love that about the RS*R.

302 at the wheels ain't bad, but that's the only real measurement you got isn't it? These transmission loss factors seem to be real guesswork and hence the flywheel figures.

I've got some kind of aftermarket exhaust from an N/A that you could have FOC. It could do with a weld over a corroded area but it's not broken yet. Don't know what it is except it says JASMA on it (apparently Jap standards mark). It makes your car sounds like a Porsche or M3, not loud really.

Lots of these difficult ones hide themselves in the Winlogon\Notify section of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT.

This means that regardless of explorer or safe mode, as soon as you log on the thing is started, and it's a .dll , not an executable that you can see in task manager.

Worked a charm never want to have to do that again...Now its showing only one, Ive tried searching in the same pages for the firewall removal but I cant locate it, maybe you can ?

Thanks

hmm I'm not sure. I've never used it before, but a quick read suggests you might need to install the separate 'Client Firewall Administrator' to achieve this. I'll have a deeper look shortly

No it's not the same. Partition magic is included with the HyperOs system for the initial partitioning only.

Everything with HyperOs is one click. No going into DOS to change "computers" or boot up. Plus complete system backups are done in two minutes and new computers installed/reinstalled in about the same time.

Plus I can run different operating systems on each computer if i want to, say NT on one Win 98 on another, Win 2000 on another , Win XP on another etc etc..

Plus I have a separate documents drive where I save all my docs (doh). This means that if i get any problems with any of my computer systems, my saved documents are unaffected..

I remember looking at this a long time ago. It sounded really interesting, but the version I looked at mainly consisted of a huge number of DOS batch files and ram-disks. Looked too complicated and like much room for mistakes to occur in the batch files.

And its not appearing in the add/remove panel

hmmm, well that's suggesting you have Symantec Antivirus (the 'corporate' Norton.), and not the regular Norton Antivirus. There are some Norton-ish things which must be removed by other means before the Norton removal tool can run. (Systemworks and all that crap).

As I remember it, there are some alternate removal tools on the symantec site somewhere.. I'll have a look now.

I like the second one. It was funnier last time it was posted though 'cause it had the heavy Irish accent in there if you see what I mean

nod32's on-demand scanner will run in safe mode also.
