Hi, whats the best way to test if an application installs correctly ? Currently im having to create my iso and open it in Virtual PC and let that install windows on the Ram disk. This takes all in all approx an hour until i find out if the app i've added works. Just wondered if there was a better way or not ?

Hi, i want to limit the speed on one of the connections on my home LAN. Basically my brother is going to buy a wireless router and wants one of his friends across the road to have access to it so he has internet access. This guy is a dole dosser so i know he will be downloading all day - but as my bro pays for 1/2 of the internet i cant stop him. So i thought i'l try and slow down the speed so it doesnt affect my own internet speed much. My setup will be Cable Feed Coming In from my ISP to > > Wired Router which feeds my PC & my sisters PC >Wired Router will then feed the Wireless Router And then the wireless router will feed my bro's laptop and his friends PC I also have a Netgear Ethernet switch which is in my drawer - dont know if this could do the job ? Anything i can do without causing an arguement ?

Great guide Kof94 - worked 1st time

Hi, i'm just finishing my 1st Boot DVD and i'm just looking for any suggestions for any other useful apps out there that you think would be useful to add before i tidy up to finish So far my DVD contains: 1. Windows XP - Manual & Automated 2. Boot Disks > 98 & ME 3. ERD Commander 4. UBCD 5. Partition Magic 8 6. Hirams Boot CD - (removed illegal software) 7. UBCD4WIN 8. Bart PE Oh yeh and thanks to all the guys on here for all the help

Cheers for the help - still no success. I cant help but wonder if this actually works? Think im going to admit defeat on this, i dont really need it - it was just a cool thing to try out BTW - heres what i ended up if using, with martin as the password using a MD5 generator = 925d7518fc597af0e43f5606f9a51512 - if anyone gets it to work let me know if $vga; then if $vesa; then set ModeGraphique = 1; else set ModeGraphique = 0 set password_hash = "925d7518fc597af0e43f5606f9a51512" # Reads the password from the user readpasswd: set passwd = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd #builds the password buildpasswd: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd set passwd = "$(passwd)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd: if icompare["$password_hash" "$passwd"] then goto menu else goto readpasswd2 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd2: set passwd2 = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd2 #builds the password buildpasswd2: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd2 set passwd2 = "$(passwd2)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd2 #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd2: if icompare["$password_hash" "$passwd2"] then goto menu else goto readpasswd3 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd3: set passwd3 = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd3 #builds the password buildpasswd3: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd3 set passwd3 = "$(passwd3)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd3 #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd3: if icompare["$password_hash" "$passwd3"] then goto menu else set textColor= color[red on black] set boldColor= color[brightred on black] cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" print c "\n\nInvalid password! " print c "\n\n Press any key to restart............" set textColor= color[white on black] getkey reboot;

Yeh UBCD is very handy! Credit to victor for all the time he's put into it

MD5 - i've never heard of it before Ok it still doesnt work for me - i want to change the password to martin so heres what i've done #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd: set MD5 = "$passwd" set password_hash = "925d7518fc597af0e43f5606f9a51512" I got 925d7518fc597af0e43f5606f9a51512 from an MD5 generator

Any idea on how to set the password ???

Looks good, just one thing - where do you create the password ? Also this could be adapted to give the user 3 attempts to enter their password before it restarts incase of typo errors Use this if you want to change it to 3 attempts if $vga; then if $vesa; then set ModeGraphique = 1; else set ModeGraphique = 0 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd: set passwd = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd #builds the password buildpasswd: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd set passwd = "$(passwd)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd: set MD5 = "$passwd" set password_hash = "f9d6a878e4c43a9cf80a43b9ec389827" if icompare["$password_hash" "$MD5"] then goto menu else goto readpasswd2 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd2: set passwd = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd2 #builds the password buildpasswd2: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd2 set passwd = "$(passwd)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd2 #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd2: set MD5 = "$passwd" set password_hash = "f9d6a878e4c43a9cf80a43b9ec389827" if icompare["$password_hash" "$MD5"] then goto menu else goto readpasswd3 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd3: set passwd = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd3 #builds the password buildpasswd3: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd3 set passwd = "$(passwd)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd3 #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd3: set MD5 = "$passwd" set password_hash = "f9d6a878e4c43a9cf80a43b9ec389827" if icompare["$password_hash" "$MD5"] then goto menu else set textColor= color[red on black] set boldColor= color[brightred on black] cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" print c "\n\nInvalid password!
