Hello, I am having a little trouble with sysprep not keeping my desktop or display settings. I created an image on an HP nc6320 laptop. Everything is on there the way I want it. I have been trying to deploy the image to an HP dc5700 desktop so that I don't have to reload all of the software again. I am using Altiris for imaging and WinDriver Ghost to collect the drivers from each model of computer I need to image. The dc5700 boots up fine, but the display setting is 800x600 instead of 1024x768 which is how the laptop is setup and the display properties in sysprep. Also, the icons are not in the correct order or location that I set them up in. Here is the display portion of my sysprep.inf file. [Display] ConfigureAtLogon = 0 BitsPerPel = 32 XResolution = 1024 YResolution = 768 VRefresh = 60 AutoConfirm = 1 Also, the laptop changes a little after the image is created. The MSN Explorer icon appears on the desktop of the laptop even though I deleted it before it was sysprepped. That icon is also transferred to the desktop of the dc5700. Lastly, the dc5700 has the keyboard_filter_01 listed under unknown devices. It will disappear if the computer is rebooted, but I would not like to have to touch each computer that receives the image. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks. Patrick

Yes. We have no folders under c:\drivers. We did have other folders when we had OemPnPDriversPath looking for drivers under different folders, but we cut all of that out to narrow the problem down. Thanks.

No. I didn't know that would be a factor. I installed it on the new computer, copied the new drivers to the server and reimaged it. The problem persisted though. I will try your suggestion and report back. Here is what our sysprep file says. The password has been blanked out. A copy of all of the drivers has been placed in the Drivers folder at the root.

Hello, I am having some great difficulties with the hdaudbus.sys file not being installed automatically. When the sysprep mini setup starts, it will stop and ask for the driver. I can find the file by navigating to windows\system32\drivers and it will install and continue with mini setup, but I don't want to have to do this. I am not using any driver pack files. I just used Windriver Ghost to copy all of the drivers to a directory on our Altiris Server and I told my sysprep.ini file to go to the directory on the server to copy the files. All of the other files get copied and installed correctly. It is just the hdaudbus one that does not install. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Patrick
