Carputer 101

[SilverSquared]

I am REALLY gonna look into this TinyXp. Thats my ONLY flaw, boot time.

[Megalomaniac]

I can hook you up with an iso file so you can burn it pm me ur IM

[DragonCub]

why are you guys booting all the time??????????
You should not have to boot everytime you get in the car.

I have mine set to standby, I turn on the car and within 2 secs I have music.

PICS of Megalomaniac carputer!

[Megalomaniac]

ok I just reinstalled regular windows. tinyxp was causing causin problems with my centrafuse front end but I'm satisfied I guess.

How do I set my M2ATX to command the cpu to go into standby instead of shutdown? do I just move the wire from power to standbye...I'm guessing so

you don't have to do anything with the M2. You have to change you settings in XP to go into standby when the power button is pressed.


btw, centrafuse is gay!

[Megalomaniac]

that centrafuse statement is subjective ...I'm sure u knew that.


but I am goin to try that standbye mode tomarro morning

also I can't seem to get rid of the login screen. I made sure I have no password and no guest account it didn't work out. I forgot how I did it before exactly thanks for the helps dragon.

[Megalomaniac]

centrafuse is a frontend software. kinda like winamp but it takes up the ehole desktop so u don't see windows desktop

there are many frontends out there. Roadrunner, Streetdeck, centrafuse, there are more but I can't think of them.

[DragonCub]

RoadRunner FTW!!!

1. Click the "Start" menu.
2. Select "Control Panel".
3. When the Control Panel appears, select "User Accounts".
4. When the "User Accounts" window appears, underneath "Or pick an account to change", click "Change the way users log on or off".
5. Uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen".
6. Click the "Apply Options" button.

Hey, meglo remember me? I'm that noob that pm'd you a few questions a couple weeks back.

Anyway my carputer is 90% done. I went the no-headunit approach. I'll post some pics

[SilverSquared]

No head unit approach, I thought of it as well, and going with a single DIN pc and the flip out monitor. But, then I'd have to get a bad *** crossover network, with built in line driving capabilities (AudioControl makes what I want) so my amps would get the proper voltage. Then I'd have to get some external radio-type device. So, I just kept my headunit in for versitility, it will come out eventually.
