  • 1. XPe with 640x480
    I have one device running XP embedded with a 640x480 screen. I know XP is not designed to run with this resolution, everythings looks a little too big, but this no problem the customer has no normally contact with Windows, he interacts only with our software. But for service purposes I would like to have a cmd shell windows with a smaller font than 8x12 pixel. On XP pro I have several fonts I can choose from, in my XP embbeded I can only select one raster font 'Terminal' ( which is vgaoem.fon) regardless what fonts I install. If I manipulate the vgaoem.fon (in \winxpe\fonts) I get an error (on a text screen) while booting : 'Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \winxpe\system\vgaoem.fon' And Windows won't start anymore. Has anyone an idea how to use a smaller (or different) font in the cmd shell or what are the criteria for a font to be selectable in the cmd shell properties box??? Burkhard
  • 2. putty problem

  • 3. Protecting fixed CF with disk resident EWF overlay
    XPe SP2: We would like to boot a fixed IDE flash drive and deploy the EWF overlays to a separate hard drive. This would permit overlay stacking with flash media and allow selective layered updates to the more reliable flash drive as required. None of the help screens place the EWF partition on nonboot media. All three modes (disk mode, ram mode, ram + Reg) all place the EWF overlay on the boot media or system RAM. Is there a way to locate overlays on nonboot media? Observations would be most welcome. Thanks!
  • 4. Printing questions
    I've got 2 questions: 1. Is there a registry setting I can use to tell the spooler to purge any existing jobs when it starts? (I want it to clean itself when I reboot). 2. I'm seeing delay's in printing both in getting started and also between consecutive print jobs. I'd like to reduce this as much as possible... I've seen notes on some registry settings like: FastPrintThrottleTimeout, FastPrintSlowDownThreshold and FastPrintWaitTimeout but I can't find clear documentation on how to use them all together... My application is going to send multiple jobs to the spooler and I want them to print one after the other preferrably with no pause in between... I should note that I need registry settings because I'm using XPE... Any ideas on either??? Please email me if you can help.
  • 5. User State Data/Windows IE Cache settings....
    Hello all, We want to hand out WinXP Tablets in a doctor/hospital environment that will allow patients to pay co-pays through an IE webpage. However, there is concern that patient information might be left over on the tablet, and could be found, thus violating HIPPA standards. Does Windows XP Embedded, after a reboot, keep IE cache files on the system? If someone were to take a WinXP tablet, could they use a HEX editor to view those files? Thanks, Blake

Trying to load MSDE for Embedded XP

The message I receive is the following:

Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine--A strong SA password 
is required for security resons.  Please use SAPWD switch 
to supply the same.

I down loaded the XP Embedded kit from Microsoft but I'm 
having problems with the database.

Before you invest a lot of time with MSDE, make sure that installing or
disturbing the database does not violate your EULA

 EULA item # 12 "COMPANY may not distribute in any
manner, or include in the image: (a) the Microsoft Data Engine or (b) the
'setup.exe' file contained in the SQLMSDE folder."

I posted this a question about running a database on the NG a few days ago
and I am still waiting for MS to give me an answer.
