People never answer my questions... I really wonder why. Am I not being clear enough about the matter? Nearly 50 views, and nobody replies. I've gotta be doing something wrong. Especially concerning that this is a very common problem (Winnt.sif issue) there should be many people who should be able to help me. Sorry for being "aggressive" about demanding an answer, but I really really need one quickly.

This is sorta important for me to get sorted out quick.. so.. *bump*

First, see my winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 AutomaticUpdates=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS DUDisable=No DUStopOnError=No DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore FileSystem=ConvertNTFS Hibernation=Yes Repartition=No WaitForReboot=No [GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 [UserData] ProductKey=NONE-OF-YOUR-****-BUSINESS FullName="" OrgName="" [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=75 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=47 Dialing=Pulse [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000414 UserLocale=00000414 InputLocale=0414:00000414 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=HJEMME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 [Components] AccessOpt=Off media_clips=Off media_utopia=Off msnexplr=Off templates=Off WMAccess=Off [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Watercolor Blue.theme" DefaultThemesOff=No Except for the ProductKey, this file is identical to the one I actually use in my setup. As you can see, I'm not making my setup completely unattended (UnattendMode=ProvideDefault) and this is my intention, as this is just going to be my WinXP CD, just SP2 integrated. However, since my XP is bought in the US, it has certain defaults that I'd like to change. Among others, I'd like the Time Zone to be my own, the Keyboard setting to be my own, and so forth. Plus I'd like another Theme than Luna, and some components removed. This file worked quite nicely.. I get my keyboard setting right.. I got the theme I wanted... but some things did not work, unfortunately. First of all, during setup, I still got presented with the GMT-8 timezone, even though you can clearly see that I have defined it differently: [GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 Then, I got asked if I wanted to activate Automatic Updates or not (during OOBE session) even though the ref.chm says that this setting: [Data] AutoPartition=0 AutomaticUpdates=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" should skip that part: should not display that page.Furthermore, MSN Explorer (or, well, just MSN...) is still showing up on my desktop and in my start menu. The same is Accesibility. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

It may not be the solution for you, but it looks as though you're using Windows Messenger... try removing that, and use MSN Messenger instead. IMO a lot better.

I use WinAmp most of the time. I only use WMP9 for video playback.. and I use iTunes to keep my iPod synched. WinAmp is what I use the most, though.

Instead of copying the SP1 txtsetup.sif, you should modify the SP2 one instead, to include the SATA drivers.. at least I believe so.

Hiya. Nice to see another Norwegian aboard.

Why don't you post yours? I'd sure like that.

I had problems with IE on a computer I was configuring once. Once IE gets like that, all you can do is switch to another browser, or reinstall the system, if you'd like to continue to use IE. As far as I know, there is no other remedy. You know, Microsoft belives their systems will never fail, so they don't include a repair option.

*hehe* Ok, ok. Maybe I do. Voted > 12... but that only goes for vacations and weekends.. I usually spend most of my days at school and with homework.

Thank you! I was on vacation in Denmark this summer, and guess what? Denmark rulz too!

Well.. since I come from Norway, I speak Norwegian. In written style, you'd see me pick "Norwegian (Bokmål)"

In this case, you need the classical method: if exist D:\i386\winnt.exe set CDROM=D: . . if exist Z:\i386\winnt.exe set CDROM=Z: Nah, crahak's idea is better: for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\i386\winnt.exe set CDROM=%%a

It looks good. But I think there's a problem with her eyes.. lol... and there are some proportional mistakes.. around this hip/leg area.. I might just be wrong though.

I know it's not good.. it's just that I CAN'T stand any lower resolutions. It makes me nuts trying to fit all the stuff I need into a small 1024x768 field.

I've ran my screen on 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz for years now.. never had a problem with my eyes nor my head.. and I don't notice flickering or whatever you call it. Only if I look at it with the corners of my eye, I can see it, but only barely even so. Soo... I'd say 60 Hz isn't that bad. My TV runs at 50 Hz...

If you know VBScript.. the AutoIT Script language will look surprisingly familiar to you.

(A little off topic, but it just requires a comment...) Backwards compability all the way back to Win3.x and maybe even below is very weird of Microsoft. They usually operate with strategic backwards INcompability.. like macros in word/excel for instance: You gotta rewrite them for every release. Anyway, just ignore this post, it's just something I had to mention, figured it doesn't really make sense.

OK, @everyone who replied to my post(s): I'm not trying to be asocial. It's just that, sure, it's fun to know what you all are, but tomorrow I will have forgotten anyway.. I don't know why though, but that's how my brain works at least. I voted here. Single, like I said I am. Of course others are unlike me. We're all unique, (and thank (the might-be-existing) God for that) and I'm sorry if I hit someone personally. Don't worry, be happy, I feel I have a right to have opinions too.

You can use AutoIt to compile exe files with the script in them, so that you don't need to actually install the program to use the scripts.. only to make them. And AutoIt can do a lot more stuff than vbs and js can in the first place.. so it's really worth it, trust me.

Then, you're single. That's right. But That's not the point. I mean, who really cares if there are most married people or single people on this forum? Really? Who honestly gives a ****?

People wonder(poll) about the weirdest things..

Just a tip for you.. use the [►CODE◄] tag for things like that. (without the arrows, of course) Like so: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}] and thanks for the tip.

AutoIt rules for that kind of thing. So do listen to neosapience. WScript sucks compared to it.

I think he means javascript, as in Windows Script Host, not as in a Browser..
