@timelessbeing - I don't know what computer you have, but I'd install XP only if it's older than ±6 years simply because XP is much to old for anything newer than that. Also, don't just remove stuff arbitrarily. I personally hate both IE and WMP, but I know I can't remove them because many programs and processes depend on their engines. Sure, there's stuff you can get rid of, but there's also a lot of garbage you're stuck with. Let me also say that I've installed XP on probably as many as 50 computers and in all honesty I've never had much of a problem.

As much as we may hate Windows, the fact is we're stuck with it. Software and hardware support is ubiquitous, not to even mention every hack imaginable. I myself have Linux Mint installed on a separate partition of my 2nd hard drive, and even then there are tons of things I can't do with it. What good is the world's best OS when nobody supports it?

I'm concerned that this image lacks MSTSC (Remote Desktop Connection) and many other system files as follows: "3waregsm.sys", "3wDrv100.sys", "3wareDrv.sys", "aec6210.sys", "aec6260.sys", "aec6280.sys", "aec68x5.sys", "aec6880.sys", "aec6897.sys", "aec67160.sys", "aec671x.sys", "aar81xx.sys", "aar1210.sys", "adpu320.sys", "a320raid.sys", "cda1000.sys", "ASH1205.sys", "ADP3132.sys", "aacsas.sys", "aac.sys", "ahci6xx.sys", "ahcix700.sys", "ahcix70r.sys", "ahcix80x.sys", "arcm_x86.sys", "asahxp32.sys", "m5228.sys", "m5281.sys", "m5287.sys", "m5288.sys", "m5289.sys", "cpqcissm.sys", "cpqarry2.sys", "hpcissm2.sys", "cercsr6.sys", "hpt3xx.sys", "rr62x.sys", "rr64x.sys", "hpt374.sys", "rr172x.sys", "rr174x.sys", "hptmv6.sys", "2310_00.sys", "rr232x.sys", "rr2340.sys", "272x_1x.sys", "274x_3x.sys", "rr276x.sys", "hptiop.sys", "hptmv.sys", "rr26xx.sys", "rr2644.sys", "rr2680.sys", "ipsraidn.sys", "nfrd960x.sys", "adp94xx.sys", "inic162x.sys", "iteraid.sys", "iteatapi.sys", "MegaIDE.sys", "symmpiv.sys", "megasr.sys", "megasas.sys", "MegaINTL.sys", "sas2xp86.sys", "symmpi.sys", "iastor.sys", "raidsrc.sys", "iastor2.sys", "iastor3.sys", "iastor6.sys", "iastor7.sys", "mv61xxmm.sys", "mv61xx.sys", "mv614x.sys", "mvsata.sys", "mv64xxmm.sys", "mv64xx.sys", "nvlegacy.sys", "nvatabus.sys", "NVATA.sys", "nvgts6.sys", "nvgts7.sys", "fst376xp.sys", "ide376xp.sys", "fastsx.sys", "sptrak.sys", "fttxr52P.sys", "fasttrak.sys", "fast2xxp.sys", "s150sx8.sys", "ulsata.sys", "ulsata2.sys", "prfsx4xp.sys", "FTTXR5_O.sys", "FtTxR54P.sys", "ql2100.sys", "ql2200.sys", "si3114r5.sys", "3124r5A.sys", "3124R5A2.sys", "3132R5C.sys", "3132R5C2.sys", "3132R5C3.sys", "3132R5C4.sys", "3132R5C5.sys", "pnp649r.sys", "pnp680r.sys", "Si3112r.sys", "si3114r.sys", "si3124r.sys", "pnp680.sys", "si3531.sys", "SI3112.sys", "si3114.sys", "si3124.sys", "SI3132B.sys", "SI3132B2.sys", "SI3132B3.sys", "SI3132B4.sys", "SI3132B5.sys", "SISRAID2.sys", "SISRAID.sys", "SISRAID4.sys", "viamraid.sys", "VIAPDSK.sys", "VSTXWDC.sys", "VMSCSI.sys", "amdbusdr.sys", "amdide.sys", "atiide.sys", "jraid.sys", "mvxxmm.sys", "mv91xx.sys", "nvraid.sys", "nvatard.sys", "nvgts6r.sys", "nvgts7r.sys", "nvrd327r.sys", "siside.sys".
OK, most of them are drivers, but still. This is NOT clean version, it IS modified.

Can someone please assist. I installed this on a spare machine of mine and it works fine but I need to get the remote desktop features working. Is there anyway just to get this back?

find and put mstsc.exe in system32

[aliencds]

cant install that update because it says the service pack i have is newer than the one in that install

and tried dragging the mstc.exe from a working winxp machine to system 32 and still get this error

Im thinking im going to have to reformat with a different copy of xp. sigh

[scarface]

you have to download mstscax.dll.mui then.

[aliencds]

wish it was that easy. it had no effect.

It looks like the error says <LANG_NAME> but the folder is en_US. Im wondering if there is a way to change that path of where it is looking for the.mui file.

I'm also wondering if an SFC/Scannow Will fix the issue.

I'd really hate to have to reinstall windows if i dont have to.
