What file ? If it's wpa.dbl, you use an older method which doesn't work since SP1 ! You can use pre-activated oembios files if you have a oem pc hardware like Acer,HP,Dell,Nec that'all about activation. ps you can auto-activate windows by the net during install, but if the counter reach 3 you must use the call !

1) Uninstall control center then drivers from control panel. 2) Reboot. Standard vga will be used (cancel hardware installation window wizard ...) 3) I use Driver Cleaner PE to delete all files and regkey don't cleaned by uninstaller from ati. 4) Reboot. Install the new version.

It seems to fail to integrate some inf files, nobody has the problem ? In fact the inf is long to integrate and says failed and continue, but sometime it hangs on "integrating ...". If anyone has a suggestion, come on !

After 1min going to Toshiba website support ... Link to the drivers (zip) http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa40/win-xph/wlesslan-sa40-xp-24214.zip Uninstall previous version by Add/Remove program from Control Panel. Reboot. Cancel the window of the wanted new drivers. Install the downloaded drivers. Check if you havn't disable Wireless Lan (wifi) with button on the notebook directly.

Yzöwl ? the best ? ... YES! For gamehead200, replace "ADMINISTRATOR ALL\ USERS" by all your wanted profiles, if space is in profile insert \ as same in example with All Users ...

Because it deletes Administrator account too, isn't gamehead200 says ? (I havn't check myself ...) edit: gamehead200 was fatest than my quote. ^^ Just add an "if" statement ...

@echo off&&cls echo Cleaning profiles ... for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir "%AllUsersProfile%\.." /b') do ( if not "%%a"=="Administrator" ( if not "%%a"=="All Users" rd /q /s "%AllUsersProfile%\..\%%a" 2>NUL ) ) echo Done. echo. echo New profiles list : dir "%AllUsersProfile%\.." /b pause>NUL That clears all profiles except All Users and Admin. It re-display list of profile to check if all it's done (for example to check if a file/folder is persistent ...) Please Yzöwl do not ridicule (?) me with your future compacted/optimized batch ^^

Perfect thanks for your work. But for the KB905474, it's WGA and it's not new or updated, isn't it ? I havn't found kb905474 myself ...

I havn't tested, but you can change attributes of the wanted files to read-only.

There isn't A best windows 100% optimized. You can read http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49320 to find many regtweaks.

Correct syntax: @ECHO Installing RealVNC start /wait "" "t:\laptop installation\vnc\vnc.exe" /silent @ECHO Installing Password start /wait "" "regedit" /S "\\headofficedc\it\laptop installation\vnc\vncremotepass.reg" Don't forget, the first " " is for title of opened window ... you can replace "" by "Installation VNC ..."

Keep the TXTSETUP.SIF of the reduced source and modify it. Don't use the original TXTSETUP.SIF because some entry are present and files doesn't exist ...

How do you check PAE status ? Why disable PAE ? Perhaps you want to disable DEP instead ? /noexecute=alwaysoff

oups I have forgotten wmp embedded in wpi, I use wpi but a custom lite version so audio isn't present here ... I think you're right about install from WPI with audio enable ... post the remark in WPI section to know if anyone has the bug too.

imho, the fatest solution is RyanVM repacked framework. You can find two versions with latest hotfixes integrated. http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ I use it, and I apply language patch after without any problems. To repack it yourself, search and read on the forum, there are methods. Goodbye.

Your audio drivers contain the High Definition patch. But you can extract the patch only for example from realtek.com.tw in the package for Realtek ALC880 series ... (two pages before ... http://www.tastycomputers.com/support/download/c_media.htm )

Be careful, there is WGA: Windows Validation Tool to enable Windows Update website. And WGA: Windows Notifier Tool to detect illegal windows versions. Automatic updates works without validation tool and download notifier tool too ... Validation tool is a must to access Windows Update website.

Have you used DCOMbobulator from grc.com ? (http://www.grc.com/freeware/dcom.htm)

You can extract drivers from WLAN pack of Bash http://www.driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/DriverPack.php?pag=w

Decompress .exe file from nvidia. Run setup.exe -s The install will be silent. (I havn't tested but I'm sure it's same as regulare ForceWare...)

Without updates, does it works ?

Make sure "Computer browser" is enabled, and windows services aren't too customized ...

There are - Acronis TrueImage - Norton Ghost for shareware. They aren't expensive for the task achieved. (not the professionnal version ) There are freeware tools on linux world too ... Restoring an image is about 5-10min depends on the system restored ... (just windows or windows and all apps)

What encryption used on the wireless network ? You can try to install windows with a CD with SP2 splitstreamed. Ask a CD of friend to test.

I prefer use original .msi if switchs exist for extensions because I'm french ... but if doesn't exist I have already a regtweaks ... but it's always best to use original setup options to keep more compatibilty in the future.
