Phew...it was the Defective Hard Drive after all...

I didn't changed anything from the BIOS and the Windows XP Installation works fine and very smooth.

This is the first time that i've actually tested Mr. Maher's Windows and it is running very well.

Thanks a lot Mr.Maher,and to all of you guys here in the Forum...

Does this version of windows xp sp3 june2014 has wmp11?
And how to download it by torrent client i.e. i didn't find any torrent link!

[shhnedo]

That's because there ARE NO torrent links. Maher firbid them.

Mr. Maher.
In Next upload please also add wmp11. So that we don't have to download and install it( wmp11) again.
Because many times wmp11 doesn't installs and ask for windows genuine advantage and stops.this causes a lot of trouble in installing it.
As u had replaced ie6 please also replace WMP9.

Im asking this b'cause it (wmp11) has many drivers ( for usb and some other devices) and without it I m not able to see content of my phone.

Whether mr Maher does it or not, there is an application for that:

There is also wmp11 slipstreamer which can integrate hotfixes and a custom icon:

Hello again,

I'm sorry but i think what i'm going to ask is a little bit off topic and i don't know  what will be the right section for my question but here it is:

You see,after the successful installation of Mr.Maher's WinXP May update,everything is working just fine (i think).But i noticed that something weird is happening...especially with my hosts file (Windows>system32>drivers>etc>hosts.

I am using my hosts file to block some sites,i am using this method for several years already and i'm not having a single problem except now.The example of the site that i am blocking is the SKYPE update which is "127.0.0.1 ui.skype.com". I'm doing that because i want to keep that specific version i'm using.

Upon adding "127.0.0.1 ui.skype.com" to hosts file,setting the hosts file to read only and restarting the PC and testing the Skype Application,my problem occur.

If i type the address ui.skype.com on my search bar,it will NOT connect (it must be like that).But when i open my Skype,it wont let me log-in saying that i am using the old version and i need to update (how could that be?).There is an update button in the Skpye UI but after i click it,it says it cannot establish connection to the update server (because ui.skype.com is blocked by my hosts file).

I am using hosts file years already but now i am wondering,what is wrong with my hosts file now? It successfully block the sites (according to search bar) but it somehow connect to that site.

Another example is the IDM hosts file block method...it is completely not working for me even if i did a clean uninstallation (even deleting all registry entries of IDM)

Can you guys give me an idea how to solve my problem?

[feruchio]

Yes it's Bulgarian and yes I did install a language pack, but I am doing this always on other releases when install XP. Sure this is my first Maher release that I install. So if that caused it what should I do to fix it if is possible somehow.
