How to make an Autorun.inf File

An autorun.inf file is a text file that can be used by the AutoRun and AutoPlay components of Microsoft Windows operating systems. For the file to be discovered and used by these component, it must be located in the root directory of a volume. As Windows has a case-insensitive view of filenames, the autorun.inf file can be stored as AutoRun.inf or Autorun.INF or any other case combination.

In this step, we will make a basic, do-nothing Autorun file. All that will change is the name of the USB drive, and the icon that goes with it.

Open Notepad (or Notepad++ or what ever you use) and type the following:

autorun
icon=NAME.ico
label=NAME


BEFORE YOU SAVE IT!
Where it says autorun, insert brackets around the word. I cannot type this in the Instructable, as it the Instructable creating software would turn the word into a link. Refer to the picture for the correct format.

Here is what you typed:
autorun: This states that this is an Autorun file, and what follows describes what the drive will look like and how it will act.

icon: This will change the icon of the drive (in the "My Computer" screen) to a custom one that you choose. The picture you choose must be an icon file (it must have the extension ".ico"). You can get pictures of that format from http://www.iconarchive.com/ and many other websites.

label: This will change the name of the drive to whatever you choose, as long as what you choose does not contain too many characters.

OK. Save the file to the main directory on your drive (as Autorun.inf). Eject the drive, then plug it back in. If you saved it to an internal hard drive, you will have to restart the computer.

If you are adding an icon to the drive, you will need to have an icon file to go use. An icon file is NOT a picture you got off the internet. It must have the extension ".ico". If it does not, then it will not work. Place the icon in the same directory as the Autorun file. Once you have done this, go back into the Autorun file and change the line that says icon=NAME.ico to have the name of the icon (keep the part that has the ".ico".


                                                                                                                                                ~Thanks

How can I find out which graphics card I have in my PC?

SketchUp is a graphics-heavy program. Knowing your graphics card can help you troubleshoot odd visual behaviors or recommend a good-performing card to other users. The easiest way to find your graphics card is to run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool:

1. Click Start.
2. On the Start menu, click Run.
   
3. In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
4. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
   
5. On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Devicesection. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.

                                        Another process

Go to the windows start button (bottom left of your screen), click it and then select 'control panel' from the menu that pops up. You then need to find the 'display' control panel. If you can't see it, you need to go to the top right of this new window and change the 'View by:' to show 'large icons'. Then you will find it.

Then you need to click on 'change display settings' on the left hand side:

Then select 'advanced settings at the bottom right corner:

You then have a window that shows something like this. In my case, it my video card is an ATI radeon 5700 series. This is the information you need to know, in order to get your video card drivers. The company is likely to be ATI, nvidia or intel, or possibly another less-well known one.

You then need to go to their website and download the FREE drivers. Here are links to the main manufacturers. You are looking for a link that says 'drivers' or 'support and drivers'.

                                For Xp :

For Windows XP: 
There are three steps to updating your video card drivers. Don't worry, its quick and easy. Here goes:

STEP ONE - What Video card do you have?

Presuming you have Windows XP, the quickest way is to right click your windows desktop (wallpaper) and select 'properties' from the drop down menu that appears. A window like this will open:

This is the 'Display control panel' for Windows (its similar for windows 98, me and 95). You want to select the 'settings' tab at the top right of this window...

Now click the button marked 'advanced' at the bottom right...

Ok this window (above) may have a different number of tabs on your PC, click the 'adaptor' tab

Here at the top where it says 'adaptor type', is your video card. In my case, it's a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT. Make a note of this.

File description

Games for Windows - LIVE DLL, Microsoft® Games for Windows® - LIVE

Cause of Xlive.dll Errors

Xlive.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the xlive dll file

2. Run the dffsetup-xlive.exe file that was downloaded.
3. Wait for the installation to finish.
4. After the installation has finished the Fixer will automatically launch (this may take a few minutes if you have an older computer). If you have any security software running on your computer (Comodo, ESET, Norton etc.), you may get warnings saying that DLL-files Fixer is trying to connect to internet and/or make changes to your computer. This is because the Fixer needs to contact our server to download the correct xlive.dll file, install it in the Windows system folder and then make changes to the Windows Registry. You should allow the Fixer to make these changes, otherwise your problem may not be solved.
5. When the Fixer has installed xlive.dll on your computer, hopefully, your errors relating toxlive.dll will be gone! You will be given the option to scan your computer for more errros.
