dxsetup.exe auto-detect your actual version and install just needed components like missing newest dlls. Of course if no DX9 present it will install DX9.0c full. Goodbye.

All hard-coded. you must "hack" the binary, it's not easy as modify bootscreen or the caption of the start button.

This is your second post with just a very basic description. What is your program ?! and more description in your title plz ! Moved to Application Install section ...

I have other bar than quicklaunch (that I have disabled) and I arrange icons and at restart icons keep their location. I havn't any special regtweaks to keep that.

You mean the bootscreen with loading bar of windows xp ?

You can restore Compaq system by using integrated backup into hidden partition, while boot up (when Compaq logo appears) press F10 if I remember and you have a menu to choose what you want to do.

You want to say no problems with shortcuts and uninstallation ?

You want restore path asked to default path ? Copy/paste that into a batch .cmd : @echo off mode con cols=60 lines=20 color 70 title Fix I386 source ... set source=YourDriveLetter: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "SourcePath" /d "%source%i386" /f >NUL reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup" /v "Installation Sources" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "%source%\" /f >NUL reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup" /v "SourcePath" /d "%source%\" /f >NUL reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup" /v "ServicePackSourcePath" /d "%source%\" /f >NUL reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Transaction Server\Setup(OCM)" /v "Source Path" /d "%source%\" /f >NUL reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC\Setup" /v "Source Path" /d "%source%\" /f >NUL reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\COM3\Setup" /v "Source Path" /d "%source%\" /f >NUL exit

I think it's driver or hardware issue. Try to update the driver of your modem. Try to change pci port too.

Why not use MySQL ? it's free and has a lot of possibility, it can be used with PHP to keep a good interface. There is MS Access too. Goodbye.

Moreover you can personalize user creation with a batch with"net user" command in cmdlines.txt or there the oobe way too. Read the guide for more explanations. Goodbye.

No relation with windows xp !!!

I would like security tab and guest enabled in windows xp (like Windows 2003) but it's seems to be impossible, but when windows xp is client of a domain security tab appears, do you think there is solution in this way ?

Plug-n-Play service is system service, you can't play with it, it always started.

I have had this problem with a oem "classic" windows, finally I have reinstalled windows with format option (easy solution yes but works I have test wpa.dlb too, I have reset oobe timer too nothing has worked so ...

To disable/delete wrong drivers manually, you can use autoruns from sysinternals too. It allow to view and delete all .sys drivers loaded at startup.

Yes by registry, it's possible. I don't remember the regkey, but you can find it : install windows in a virtual machine, configure your settings and export the regkey.

Repair windows is the easiest solution

in safe mode, try disable all non-microsoft services with "msconfig"

Mine opinion and personal experience : When you call to Microsoft and explain your status, they allow to activate your license. Even with "OEM" license, if the motherboard is break, and don't want to return the manufacturer but you want just repair in local shop, the "transfer license" is tolered, it's legitimate.

Test in vitrual machine, it's the best to know if your data will be kept.

@dhoffman_98: I don't have any problem with wga direct dll copying. What's your problem ? Screenshot ?

You can make a MSDOS hard disk sytstem which is run winnt (don't forget to load smartdrv). I don't see any restrictions edit: winnt instead winnt32 of course

I use that method to test my "deployement" too Use Junction from sysinternal, it's command line and works great. There is other sofwrae with GUI but in batch Junction it's the best for me http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Junction.html

yes you can clean it without any problem.
