And what was that for? :wtf2:

How grown up people can sometimes act so childish is beyond me.

Good to hear OP got it all sorted.

Make sure you have the DirectX runtimes installed.

Heres my dxdiag report :-

Quote from MadCatX :

Your Windows is fired, namely the "dinput8.dll" module of DirectX. It's possible that this is not the only thing that's faulty, Windows reinstallation is the easiest way out.

Iv just done a complete Reinstall of windows i deleted the partion in drive :C then i installed a new xp in drive C:

Quote from three_jump :

does the lfs.exe show up in the task manager?
what does the deb.log in your lfs folder say?
does your gfx pass all the direct X tests? (run dxdiag)?

edit: that screenhots suggest that it might be related to your directX install / gfx drivers

This is what my deb.cfg has init :-

So What could this suggest?

Quote from SparkyDave :

Hi Micromental
I've read most of this thread and your other thread "lfs wont start"
May I ask what driver you have installed for your GFX adaptor?
you are still using the HD2600 right? does it pass all the direct X tests? (run dxdiag)
When you say you are doing a fresh install are you reinstalling LFS from a local file or re-downloading it every time?

Just some thoughts.

Good luck

SD.

Fresh install as im reinstalling windows xp and lfs and Graphics card drivers and all the auto matic updates etc..

Quote from three_jump :

I'm too lazy to read through the whole thread. Could you please describe or link me to the post where you describe what exactly isn't working?
Does LFS even start?

Nope LFS dosnt even start up dosnt get to the welcome screen etc...

Quote from JBiturbo :

As some have already sugested, i would try to format and start over. It doesnt really take that much time....in overall about 2 hours maybe? ( counting with drivers/programs instalation ). You are probably wasting time trying to fix what it SEEMS to be unfixable in that OS.

I dont know what do you use your PC besides LFS, but i can assure you that some files/drivers unrelated to either LFS or your wheel can cause that kind of problems, and if you cant spot them to delete them, format is your best chance.

Just go ahead man, get some food, turn the TV on, and get it going. If after that it still doesnt work, then you can defenitly rule out OS problems and start searching for hardware problems.

Anyways, these are my 2 cents, just trying to help.

Just put a fresh install of windows xp on Done all the updates 100% ok and still dosnt work

Quote from Fuse5 :

im sorry
but who are you?

or more importantly, why do you think you are important enough that this warrants a thread?

Delete it if u like

Quote from rageshgr :

Well I still use XP I like it, it just does the job of being the unsung hero that an OS should be, without intefering with the more important jobs, also being light on system resources. For, OS's may come and OS's may go, but XP still goes on anyways coming to OP, I don't think XP is the culprit here, after all, most of LFS's history has been on XP. Also off the top of my head, is it possible that you are using a user login with very restricted permissions?

Im the main administrator on my pc iv got a strong feeling its my graphics cards im using an "ATI Radeon x800 GTO EXPRESS" at this momment in time and iv tried it with my "Radeon HD2600XT 2x DUAL LINK DVI 512MB GDDR3 (128-BIT)" and still dosnt work But on my ASUS Graphics card it works but there in my Other computers that my mum and dad use But my mum Has got a new Graphics card and mother board So i can Use the ASUS ut of mums tomoro.

Quote from E.Reiljans :

Also OP why are you using Windows XP (rls date: 2001) in year 2012? It's like using Windows 98 (rls date: 1998) in 2009.

Are you willing to send me Windows 7 then ?

It Turns out that LFS DOSNT work with my graphics card Thanks for everyones useful information and Support But please could someone delete this thread as its no longer needed

Quote from garph :

Noooooooooooooooooo, it doesn't matter if you paid or didn't pay or made it yourself. Something, some file can still go corrupted it doesn't matter.

Putting a new motherboard in will only make things worse (unless you get lucky) as the old motherboard drivers are still on your hard drive and will most likely not work with your new motherboard. Always, ALWAYS format and reinstalled windows with a new motherboard, you have to.

Backup everything you need to, format and reinstalled XP. Save yourself some cash.

Thanks for the pointers but i know ill have todo that after all i build computers.

Quote from MadCatX :

You can see that Windows has pretty much no idea what went wrong, the crash addess is zero and so is the error code. Something appears to be wrong with your Windows installation, try reinstalling the latest service pack (might take some time). Problems like this are usually a bitch to track down, so I'm afraid you'll end up reformatting and doing a fresh Windows install...

My windows install was from a paid for disk not a copy so i dont see how it could be a bad install :/

Im gunna get a new mother board and graphics card tomoro then it shall work ...
