Getting Dashboards In The List Options

[bigdiiddy]

i've installed dashboards with ftp and autoinstaller and they never show up in the launch apps from hd list so how do i make a thread so they show up in the list so i dont have to open up a fileexploler to select the xbe file and i really want to set up my thclite but i installed it in the root of c drive and i do not want to x out the original xbox dash

[pepsik]

it only lists files named "default.xbe" so rename all the dashes in the appropiate folders with the correct executable and you should be sorted.

ok i need help with the thclite i put the line @ 2 places
<Menu> is @ the middle
<Item Action="c:\thclite.xbe">THC-LITE</Item>

</List> is @ the bottom

<Item Action="c:\thclite.xbe">THC-LITE</Item>
so i'm doing something wrong
were am i supposed see this listed in launch from apps or will it be on the first screen when evo is loaded another? how do i edit this line to make my fan go faster <FanSpeed>1.0</FanSpeed>

i'm not sure i understand what you did, which means that, yeah, you prolly did something wrong. copy/paste here everything that is between <Menu> and </Menu>.

you should never edit anything else that is not enclosed within those two tags unless you know what you are doing. everything else is configurable from within the dash itself...via the system/settings menu (the Control Panel)

[Kthulu]

i kinda didn't finish that last post...

to set your fanspeed, goto the system/settings menu (Control Panel), select system. scroll down to 'Fanspeed' and press A until you get a fanspeed you like. scroll all the way down and save and exit.

hopefully, you have a </Menu> at the end of all that.

i don't see any major problems with that menu code at first glance. so what is the problem? you don't see thc-lite in your menu?

my only suggestion at this time is to remove the blank lines and everywhere you have:
" >
delete the extra space, so that you have:
">

as my sig says, i have a bad memory, but i seem to recall having some strange menu problems one time until i removed those extra spaces.

the only problem is thclite is not showing up in the list and maybe i'm looking in the wrong place is there dashes that thc will not show up in and this is what is @ the end of that config
</Menu>

thanks for all your help its sad that i belong to xbox-hq.com and i have posted this there plenty of times thinking that i put it in the wrong place well i had to go to the cream of the crop to get they answer

[Kthulu]

are you sure that c:\thclite.xbe is the correct path?

[bigdiiddy]

is it suppose to be in a folder in the c drive

[Kthulu]

i don't know. i don't use thclite. why don't you list the top-level contents of your C-drive here. here's mine as an example:

My C: drive contents:
-------------------------
\Audio\
\fonts\
\xboxdashdata.1012a700\
\xodash\
\evoxdash.xbe (xselect6)
\xboxdash.xbe (ms dashboard)

Your C: drive contents:
---------------------------
???
