hello all, I am looking to replace my computer as it unfortunately doesn't what I need any more. I work from home and use it to run a lot of vmware guests so can lab up systems and also use it for general pc usage. I am wondering what i would get for the old system, though not sure if i am allowed to ask so apologies if i am breaking a rule. So, these are the components & case i am looking to sell as a single lump and thoughts on what i should/could ask for are appreciated. CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz - Kentsfield 65nm Technology RAM: 8GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (6-6-6-18) Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5E-VM HDMI (LGA775) Graphics: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT (ASUStek Computer Inc) Optical Drives: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-218L ATA Device Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio Case: Antec P182 PSU: 550w Asus i think, not sure how to tell without taking out! Thank you.

Realtek audio driver silent unsigned installation
oioldman replied to ori99333's topic in Application Installs
in winnt.sif set the driversigning to ignore it then doesn't care if your using unsigned or not:: [unattended] DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore as noted here: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/19/#unattended -

got it working using this: START /WAIT %CDROM%\apps\AVG\AVGFreeEdition_v10.0.1388.exe /AppMode=Setup /UILevel=silent /InstallToolbar=0 /DontRestart /InstallSidebar=0 /ChangeBrowserSearchProvider=0 /ParticipateProductImprovement=0 /SelectedLanguage=1033 START /WAIT %windir%\system32\pskill.exe -t avgui.exe seems not possible to start hidden or minimized so i just kill it

Hello nucleus, Did you ever find a fix for this as i am now using AVG and find this part rather annoying. am thinking of using pskill.exe to kill once installed as will run on next login. [edit] am currently using these switches and all is ok with install itself http://forums.avg.com/ru-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=110295 [/edit] Thanks

cheers spoiled. yep, already using the ork to generate the .mst file i looked through many old threads, and found ref to deleting the error reporting keys. i also don't slipstream in the ServicePacks, and weirdly these produce a confirmation box at the end even though the command is correct. will test some more and see what happens.

RunOnceEx Additional Programs list goes off screen
oioldman replied to goatfuzz's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
you need to add a command to the runoncex.cmd window so it will get to the end of list 1 in window and the show a 2nd window with the remaining applications can't find it on mine, sorry. -
Hello All, Have done a search and couldn't find what i was after. I recall once that to get Office 2003 installed at runonceex.cmd you needed to add some reg keys to the tweak.reg files so you wouldn't get an error. I have lost these and can't find them on here. Does anybody have these please? Thanks.

maxXPsoft, First I want to say thanks for spending time making and tweaking this app. On 3rd go it working all fine. Only thing I don't understand is adding off applications using Add Apps button. I have the folder Apps at the root and the app sees this, but no idea what I'm supposed to see or do. it opens the window with tick boxes, but no idea what i should expect to see. you have some simple steps an id*** can follow please. oioldman
