- I would try disabling all anti-malware before the install.
- Not sure if XP allows installations in Safe Mode, but if not you could do a clean boot as a substitute.
- Next I would reset file permissions on C: drive before install. Tweaking.com is a good way to do that.
Tweaking.com was something that I just was told about by a helpful MT user, the programs look great,
I was curious of using these, "windows repair, reset registry permissions, and the two tweakers".
I can't find much on how to use them, I am not brave with registry and file associations.
I do have an oddball error here and there I'd like to fix, with Winamp a "close app error", SlimJet "Unusable app error", and Lunascape 7 "Qwkit" cannot read memory error. I uninstalled Lunascape.
Other then that, no programs have any obvious problems for me... net functions great, as well as games, booting etc.
but resetting windows settings, associations and tweaking (safely) sounds like a nice option to get Slim Jet running, but are these tweaking.com programs safe? Would my new settings effect my browsers/programs and the like?
For example... which repair programs do i need a clean boot for, and which can be run without?
Do I need to run these in a specific order? Sorry all the questions, just using top caution.
