![]() To fully appreciate miniPE's power, you should boot FROM the CD - you may have to change a BIOS setting to have your computer's first boot device to be the CD drive. "'Such-and-such' app comes up as unregistered" - my guess is you are running miniPE from within Windows and not as a bootCD.It's not that difficult for "power" users, but may be a little daunting for those with limited experience.

I have 512MB on an old Dell PIII 500mHz and all apps work. The more RAM you have, the greater likelihood that all apps will work correctly. requires a minimum of 128MB to run a minimal amount of apps.Here are some general guidelines regarding miniPEĀ²-XT Additionally, the menu system is purposefully not alphabetized - it is highly customized, and in the order I want it. Examples include, but are not limited to Nero & WinZIP.

You may have to change some BIOS settings if your computer does not look to the CD before the HD for system booting.
