I would like to add a link to my site that links to a guide on the above subject, in particular how to add plugins. Thanks in Advance

Although I like this release it dows work a little to well like someone else said. As for themes, i am not having a problem but having said that i replaced uxtheme.dll with a patched uxtheme.dll

The only problem I discovered was couldn't access add & remove windows components in control panel so that i could remove messenger. still i'm sure it will be sorted, otherwise messenger will not be included in setup files when i create a new Unattended XP CD. Like you the security centre issue doesn't recognise Norton. Popup Blocker, Bit annoying really. While i was desgining my website it blocked the clock on it bcos its an activex control that needs to access the pc to get the current time and date -

visit the microsoft link for the fix http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

check symantec's website (google it) for manual removal instructions. Failing that format and reinstall - I would go for this method more reliable. Sorry can't be of more help

Thanks for the replies. I actually started redesigning my site using png images instead of jpeg after accidentally discovering that the file size was smaller and the quality wasn't affected. After reading the article "gradient effect" I will continue to use this format. Also I didn't realise it was a new format, i thought it had been around as long as JPEG and that. Thanks again

why not place walpapers in the $OEM$ distribution folders for example: \$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpapers\ Anything placed in this folder or any of the $OEM$ folders is copied across to the hard drive during setup.

If anyone is interested the company at plusnet gives 25mb to home users and 50mb to business users free. The condition is that you sign up for a dialup account and access the account, thru: email, ftp, dialup, or login to web portal at least once in a 3 month period. There are no ads on websites, frontpage, cgi, php, mysql supported. Use FTP access or sites own file manager to upload.

what is the best graphic format to use on websites with very little effect on the quality and at the same time the file size being small thanks

I got the same problem. I got an xp cd with no service pack integrated and slipstreamed SP2 RC2 - installs with no problems.

agreed with the background. Do the pictures need to be so big, there is a lot of useless white space in them that is taking up space and bandwidth that could be used for something else.

Thanks for the replies Discovered if you go into: control panel admin tools computer management disk managemnt right click the drive/partition you wish to hide choose change drive letters and paths, from the drop down menu then click remove on the new window that pops up the drive/partition is hidden To make it visible again, do the same again only click add instead of remove. When I tried it there were no adverse side effects to the structure or content of the drive/partition. Thanks Nick

Hi guys I want to clone my systemdrive(c:\) to another partition(which I shall assign as drive Z) using Norton ghost. However i want to hide this partition in windows so that no one can access it and change the files. Any help would be great Thanks Nick

Hi Guys I have just built a website based around some of the information that is about for the creation of slipstreamed and unattended windows xp cd's. I want everyone and anyone who looks at the site to criticise it and give advice on improvement. Click www button to visit. Please post comments here. Thanks to everyone

why not copy the winnt.sif above but change the settings for your own. Make sure you save it in the I386 folder.

something you have installed has corrupted windows. Boot into safemode and uninstall until you find the problem. I would start with DirectX 9.0c - its buggy

the line of code you need in your winnt.sif for it to work correctly would be: [Unattended] OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers;Drivers\001_network" If you have other folders in the Drivers folder these need to be separated as shown above by ; other than that just make sure you have all the required files for your network card. Goto device manager and see what files it uses. I had a similar problem and this worked for me

I can't take all the credit, its only what I learn't through the forum or assosciated websites

Obtain DX9NTopk.exe from microsoft's site. Place directx in \XPCD\i386\Update\ Open Notepad and copy and paste the following below: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [setupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\Update" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] [setupHotfixesToRun] DX9NTopk.exe save this as \XPCD\i386\Update\svcpack.inf. You need to delete the original file SVCPACK.IN_ You can also add other updates here as well, if you do place others, make sure you put them in numerical order. Another file you need to edit is \XPCD\i386\DOSNET.INF. All you need to do to this file is add the following lines: [OptionalSrcDirs] Update

doesn't matter where you put Cleanup.cmd and Prepare.cmd as long as when you refer to them in your RunOnceEx it points to the right location for them. Need to see your code to see why you are getting the messages.

Please explain, I was under the impression service packs are freely available for testing purposes and not considered warez. after all the build i have 2096 was downloaded from microsoft some time ago and is freely availvable in some of the local computer retailers.

Hi Guys How do you increase the number of stars you have under your username many thanx

hi guys i would like to try a more recent build of this service pack. I have been using 2096 with no problems, im trying to find build 2135 or later to test. Any links much appreciated especially the link to register as a beta tester thanks

Multi-Boot DVD Software folder located in the root, alongside all the boot folders and boot files. That way i could install all my software from the dvd unattended regardless of which operating system I used. Everything else, such as, RunOnceEx, Cmdlines.txt in the same place as the unattended xp cd

as for placing metapad in the windows folder why not create a folder on the CD called $$(which is alongside the $1 folder) and place metapad in it. Setup would copy it across during windows setup then all you would need in your RunOnceEx is the file to register the filters
