    i have a .HTA app - based on the one availible here, and all works well (in windows). however, when i run this in winPE the dialog presents itself as blank. Does anyone know a method for presenting a proper open file dialog via HTA in WinPE currently im using the following to load the dialog (which works in windows) - ive tried a variety of other methods that all result in the dialog being drawn as blank. '**************************************************************************** '* TEST DIALOG '* '**************************************************************************** Function selectFile() Dim Result Dim IE : Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") With IE .Visible = False .Navigate("about:blank") Do Until .ReadyState = 4 : Loop With .Document .Write "<html><body><input id='f' type='file'></body></html>" With .All.f .Focus .Click Result = .Value End With End With .Quit End With Set IE = Nothing Dim ChooseFile ChooseFile = Result Dim isWim isWim = InStr((UCase(ChooseFile)), ".WIM") if isWim <> 0 Then wimfilename.value = ChooseFile checkWim() else msgbox("error - wim not selected") end if 'MsgBox ChooseFile() End Function

    im sure there are numerous posts about how to acheive this, however all the posts ive read seem rather complex and im just a simple lazy techie basically, i want to setup 4 partitions on my usb key, 1 for xp pro, 1 for 2k pro, 1 for winternals ERD 2005 and 1 for storage, the other requirement i have is a menu upon booting from the usb to select the appropriate OS. i have looked at the 'easyboot' program by the same developer as ultra iso however its not as straight forward as it appears. if anyone can provide a definitive step by step guide on how to acheive this, it'd be much appreciated.

    ^^^ all the associated material is in my first post. thanks sonic! Now im off to try and unravel the mystery of 'suppressreboot' and the **** tune application... maybe its time to give in and see if nvidia would be kind enough to clear this up

    any activity on the nvidia front? ive spent another 12hours bashing away at this thing and have gotten nowhere, im resolved to email nvidia but i imagine they'll take longer to respond that it would for me to reinvent the wheel several times over.

    Hi All, just wondering has anyone made an xp with boot up options, for example. I want to be able to whack in an xp cd then boot the machine when it boots the user will have a variety of options that will install a base version of XP with a different application pack depending on the selection thats made. eg: Option 1: XP installed with office Option 2: XP installed with office & winzip Option 3: XP installed with NO office & winzip basically i have a variety of different batch files, batch1, batch2, and i just want to make the installer load a different batch file without the need to have multiple copies of the same files.
