plus, i think you'd be really lucky if you had gork or kai445 [or something like that] look at this thread
there is an abundance of information about xp embedded thruoght microsofts website.. they have how-tos to do just about everything, and how to fix a majority of errors that you might get...
basically what you have to do (quick run thru):
1) use tap.exe or ta.exe to get a hardware snapshot of the computer
2) import the .pmq file into the target designer (which will automatically put in a majority of the software/hardware components you will need)
3) do a dependency check and fix all of those & remove unwanted/unneeded components
4)change any of the settings that you would need to change
5) build the run-time image
6) deploy it
took me saturday of last weekend to get the jist of it, and now im changing and deploying the image from my workstation to the jeep-puter in about 15-20 minutes (depends if it has my full attention)
what im stuck on right now is getting the touchscreen to work tho
, everything else is working great (so far)
Linear Mode
