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.

you need to use calcs to set/change permissions via the command line

i use something akin to this: @ECHO off TITLE Applying Windows Post Service Pack 2 Updates IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J: GOTO START @author Neil Wooloff @version date :START SET /A NUMOFUPDATES=0 ECHO.

i use this in the winnt.sif file: [FavoritesEx] Title1 = Hotmail.url URL1 = https://www.hotmail.com/ Title2 = Facebook.url URL2 = https://www.facebook.com/ Title3 = BarclaysBank.url URL3 = https://ibank.barclays.co.uk/

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

i run .3.5 & .4 called from runonce at the end and no issue using this inside my app_install.cmd file START /WAIT %CDROM%\Apps\dotNET\dotnetfx35_x86.exe /quiet /norestart START /WAIT %CDROM%\Apps\misc\sleep.exe /t:30 /s:1 START /WAIT %CDROM%\Apps\dotNET\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64 /quiet /norestart START /WAIT %CDROM%\Apps\misc\sleep.exe /t:30 /s:1

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
