TP General - Cannot start ThinkPad Features after a SYSDIFF install of Windows NT 4.0
Applicable to: World-Wide
SYMPTOM:
After performing an unattended installation of Windows NT 4.0 using SYSDIFF, ThinkPad Features does not correctly
and will not open when accessed.
CONFIGURATION:
All ThinkPads running Win NT 4.0 setup by Unattended installations using SYSDIFF.
SOLUTION:
The SYSDIFF.EXE program comes with a SYSDIFF.INF file. In the ÇExcludeRegistryKeysÇ section the following
line must be commented out: HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum. To do this, put a semicolon before the
start of the line:
Before:
HKLM,SYSTEM\ControlSet009
HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\perflib"
After:
HKLM,SYSTEM\ControlSet009
;HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\perflib"
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The ThinkPad Features program actually installs a driver and class in NT to allow it to have access to the ThinkPad's
BIOS. SYSDIFF does not, by default clone classes, so the driver does not work. Excluding the CLONE section of the
INF file tells SYSDIFF to capture the class information and copy it to the new machine.
