Windows 8.1

Of course i test on myself, i didnt pluck that number by random. 48gb? 8.1 embbeded pro x64 asks for around 18gb minimum partition size, i'll check with this edition though, a boggo 8.1 pro. 32gb is 29gb once formatted.

Not what I meant. I meant I have an old Pentium Dual Core for testing.

43 something, with corel (my main usage), office and drivers integrated. NVIDIA driver by itself is huge, and a huge pain and refuses to be installed on right click nowadays. MAXXAudio is another pain. Without drivers and software it goes down to 12gbs.

Yes, I was too lazy to check, so theoretical capacity. Still testing. Once I confirm what breaks Miracast I'll report back. It is useful when you only have one HDMI port or none (PC has VGA TV has HDMI) and your TV supports it.
 
Prolly the cache drive isnt bootable on the board. Ivve a topic here about slimming nvidia drivers, i install from device manager.
Pro audio and video stuff can be pretty greedy on space and downright cranky on os components. The pentium should be ok for testing, if you can stretch your budget a crucial bx500 120gb is under £20, about 111gb formatted and is a decent drive and good enough for testing and a spare incase.

If you remove the other drive you can boot from it. and I've considered buying a bigger SSD for testing, I just can't afford it right now. I'll check the Nvidia slimming thing, and the audio, but MAXX is a pain and the last time I tried it didn't install at all!
 
REAPER and Audacity work great on a bareboned(w7, 1.12gb installed), find what maxx needs and try to disable instead. Sods law it need IE stuff and gawd knows what else for activations and prolly checks activation online frequently.

You might find this helpful, he has a few videos about seting up windows, asio/usb interfaces and latencies etc.

<3<3 thx for sharing :D gonna check them later.
Had tough day someone have taken all my money from my bank account :/ money I would have had for the rest of the month, and its not sure that I will get them back =(
 
Holy sh*t UF :eek::mad: , double :eek:, its the 4th, bloody hell. IN cases like yours banks(in the UK) can be good and get your money back for you in extreme cases. Good luck buddy :)
 
PhsMu Ive got a file in the pack that splits windows audio services from multimedia class scheduler serviuce. My audio programs know what they need, i dont need ms second guessing, split then disable mmcss. Tested with onboard realtek disabled and a lexicon alpha with alpha 2.7 drivers, asio and non asio.

Still needs more testing, but narrowed it up to something on the network page. I think one of those services creates some sort of file or registry that it's needed for Miracast to work, and then the service can be removed altogether. Kind of like with Some programs check if a service exists, but don't care if it's running or disabled.
 
I tried to install HP AIO drivers on a lited xp but the installer moaned a registry key was missing, luckily it told me what key, one test install and 1 registry key later it installed. Backup the whole registry from a bog standard updated install, handy to have original reg incase.
 
Added new tweak to post no1, Sysinternals Accept EULAs, reg file and cmd.
 
OK, first thing to blame is ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and it's sub-component, ALG (Application Layer Gateway), which pairs the TV, but doesn't install the required virtual devices for it to work

Second, WPS. Whoever invented the smart-proof idiocy that allows anyone with physical access to your device to get inside of it deserves to have all his data permanently erased, but apparently it is needed for Miracast to work.

Again, I only have one HDMI output. Multimonitoring is impossible without Miracast. Plus, all the cabling needed to supply an old house.

On another question: Autodesk Sketchbook - How do I install this thing silently? It doesn't seem to have any switches!
 
These results any good? Looks like you have to use additional info with the switch.
1 and 2
 
It may be an stupid question, but what is difference of a CMD and a BAT file?

start /wait msiexec /qn /i isscript.msi
start /wait msiexec /qn /i SketchBook8.0.0_Win64.msi ADDDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 ADDQUICKLAUNCHSHORTCUT=0

Because I had ^ that and it didn't work (some prerequisites are annoying, but yeah, the main application has the same switches.

Edit: Somehow the Zeros got trimmed on the copy paste.

I asked nuhi the very same thing :D There may be some very technical differences but they are essentially the same. If you use Reg Convert to create a bat from a reg just change .bat to .cmd.
 
still fighting with Sketch, but I've figure most of the troublesome ones.

Tip: Do not have your VLC installer called VLC.exe or it will self terminate (VLC checks for running instances with that name and terminates them to avoid crashing a running video or song). Took me a while to figure that one.
 
You can run multiple instances of vlc.exe, the program not the installer, vlc toolbar - tools - preferences - interface.
I dont give a damn about file associations so i just extract the vlc installer and run it protable. REAPER piggybacks vlc so it needs tobe installed but you can fake install it. Run vlc installer, start Regfromapp and select the vlc installer, run the installer and RFA will track all changes it makes tothe registry, export to reg file, save as vlc1. Start vlc.exe and RFA again, go to vlc preferences and find the file associations, select what you want, save the output from RFA, save to regfile as vlc2. Combine both reg files into one. Convert to bat with Reg Convert, save to vlc-install.bat(change extension to cmd if you want). Add the extracted contents of vlc to $OEM$ - $1 - Program Files(or Program Files (x86) ), add that to the install source, usb. See here.
