The USB drivers kept coming back as unknown. With some troubleshooting I found that disconnecting the cable from the back of the lilliput screen and reattaching it sort of fixed it.

The next thing that happened is that it showed up as a Microsoft Touch Screen Device.

Rightclick and update the driver using the touchkit files and then it will be a Touchkit touchController.

Once that is working. Calibate using the touchkit software.

Then the rest is cake.

After I used powerquest to make an image I got this message:

Error 5 VFloppy.sys Error 8 Fake Floppy Drive Not Found

You must use FIXMBR to fix this issue.

Centrafuse seems to be a nice starting software for the novice user. Signup for the beta to get a registration code. I see more people with FrodoPlayer but that seems like alot of work.

DVD Player software took a little caressing to get working.
Installed the following:
AC3Filters
PowerDVD
FDDShow
Latest DirectX

Replaced the default logo with one I made. I will start posting pics soon.

I'm installing MS Streets and Trips because i already had a copy. I may want something a little easier to use with this system later on.

I'd love to see general pics of the interior of the Titan. I am a Nissan fan and either the Titan or the new Pathfinder will be my next ride.

I got tired of looking at the windows welcome. I changed the Logon window using LogonStudio.

Attached is the new screen boot up before my shell interface starts. I like it because I have the shell to autoplay music. For a few seconds you will have music with this screen.

As soon as I posted the last msg I was asked to post my logon files.

Make sure to download the software to install it. It is called LogonStudio.

See below for files!
