To enable UBCD4WIN to support more than 8 bit color graphics on my Dell nb I took my PEBuilder Intelgraphic plugin and added it to the UBCD4WIN's Drivers folder. The results were not what I was expecting.

What the heck happened to the menu???

My plugin's xml files are:

intelgraphics_nu2menu.xml

CODE

<NU2MENU>
   <MENU ID="Resolution">
    <MITEM TYPE="ITEM" VISIBILITY="@Shl(@Not(@FileExists(@GetWinDir()\system32\setmaxres.exe)))" CMD="RUN"
    FUNC="@GetProgramDrive()\Programs\IntelGraphics\IntelGraphics.cmd">Display graphic hardware</MITEM>
    <MITEM TYPE="ITEM" DISABLED="@Not(@FileExists(@GetWinDir()\system32\setmaxres.exe))" CMD="RUN"
    FUNC="@GetProgramDrive()\Programs\IntelGraphics\IntelGraphics.cmd X">Intel Graphics Fix</MITEM>
   </MENU>
</NU2MENU>

delld400_nu2menu.xml

CODE

<NU2MENU>
   <MENU ID="Resolution">
       <MITEM TYPE="ITEM" DISABLED="@Not(@FileExists(@GetWinDir()\system32\setmaxres.exe))" CMD="RUN"
          FUNC="@GetProgramDrive()\Programs\IntelGraphics\IntelGraphics.cmd myNB">Dell Notebook Graphics Fix</MITEM>
   </MENU>
</NU2MENU>

And both work fine in BartPE.

I did add my PEBuilder for setmaxres.exe also but it has no xml file so it shouldn't be the problem.

Can you give me a clue as to what happened?

You must define the menu popup location before you try adding a menu item to it. "Resolution" isn't already defined so when the menu sort function happens in the build... it is blocked since the popup menu wasn't defined.

Add the following to the nu2menu.xml found in the [UBCD4Win]\oem1\nu2menu folder

CODE

<MITEM TYPE="POPUP" MENUID="Resolution">Resolution</MITEM>

Where in the XML you place it will determine where it shows in the actual menu itself.

Thank you rdsok.

I didn't want to hack the UBCD4WIN's nu2menu.xml file and with so many predefined POPUPs it was easier to simply change "Resolution" to the "Display" option already defined.

CD being created as we speak.

Will try it later.

Well that was a busted project. In addition to ruining my last CD-RW I lost several CD-Rs on this. Regardless what I did I could not get UBCD4WIN to support the Intel graphics in my Dell nb or an older W2K machine. I can with my BartPE systems but not UBCD4WIN. When I invoke either of the two options I have I end up with a black screen and a hung/dead system.

Does anyone have a functional Intel graphics plugin for UBCD4WIn?
