ON Yes, I agree fully with the previous posting. The only thing where it can trouble you is during installation, so it _could_ be good sometimes (not everytime) to switch it off there and then. But while running and using your system for your usual work I belief it's just reasonable to leave it ON: it will prevent more harm than cause any.

I'll bet there are gonna be only few ones which are eager to browse through that huge reg-file.

Yeah, me, too. But hopefully they're gonna release it soon.

no need to change, it's good that way ... and by the way: there is in most cases no order which is supposed to be _the_ best or even wrong, you can't make many mistakes there but: SFC_OS.DLL for SP2 RC2 hacked! , During setup too!, for example; here order matters

R ya talkin 'bout Office2003 or Office XP aka Office2002?

thanx a lot! very useful information

SiMoNsAyS once wrote: Sneaky replied short while later: My question (prolly of interest for all the guys who either don't have the time to get into the act of audio drivers so deeply): What's the matter with that Audigy 2 ZS drivers for Live! soundcards: will they work correctly with live! cards, do they offer more features, advantages? Why not use the standard live! drivers? Just curious 'bout that.

Great! I bet I wouldn't have guessed it right! Sure, tell us if that /y switch is working tho undocumented.

YEAH!!! Goal for GERMANY! (football) Okay, back in medias res ... If this is the case it isn't sufficient to send a "y" only like rdalling suggested before. You also have to send the return command via the pipe. Don't ask me how to do this, I did this the last time ages ago. But I guess you can find that info on the internet more or less easily. You will have to use special codes in the pipe, one of them is the return command, but as mentioned earlier I don't know it anymore.

Ah, and the password's not truncated, it remains what you have entered? Normally the pipe (i.e. that | thingy) should work. Hum ... does it ask you to enter only ONE charakter (like "y" or "no") or do you have to confirm the dialogue and your Y/N-choice respectively with a return?

Is it possible to create user account passwords with net command which have more than 14 characters? Won't the passwords get truncated? Does net command just ask what 2 do or cancel operation with an error?

I thought so. Just wondering who told mirza exclusively the release date.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to wait with patching UXTHEME.DLL until SP2 is released b/c I guess the file(-version) is going to change then again like before with SP1 ?!?!

@ Trainee Thanks a lot for your answer! I really appreciate it! I edited my posting to reflect your issues. But: I'm not quite sure if I know what you're talking about. Maybe you can gimme a link or so?

Ah, cool, ic, thx! Well, I asked b/c I planned to slipstream (drivers.cab etc.) the nvidia drivers into my unattendend XP-CD. And obviously that makes sense cuz the ones included by MS SP2 don't bring the desired tools as u remarked.

Wouldn't this topic better fit into the unattended section of this board?

Great! Official source?

Just very briefly: are the nvidia graphics drivers updated in SP2? does anyone know? if yes, to which version? I looked for that info onhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...sp2preview.mspx but haven't succeeded. thx

Here's a list of available methods dealing with integrating (inf-based) device drivers (SATA,RAID,etc.) M1.a described by raskren, see "Unattended install, SATA drivers, and NO Floppy" M1.b described by RyanVM, see "So I finally decided to integrate RAID drivers" (no longer active) and "Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks - overview" M1.c described by GreenMachine, see "Slipstreaming SATA/RAID Drivers" M2.a described by trainee, see "TEXTMODE MassStorageDrivers Method" and "RASOR - Textmode Driver Utility" M2.b described by Pure Knome, see "XP Basic CD Unattended SATA/RAID Install , How to avoid hitting F6 for CD Install" M3 by Pyron, see "SOLVED: drivers from CD" Questions: Q1) Is this little summary correct? Q2) Are there any other methods (threads)? What else to mention? Q3) M2 doesn't need editing of TXTSETUP.SIF? [for answer see N3 below] Q4) (deleted) Notes: (independent of question numbering) N1) Pure Knome offers in his posting (link see above at M2.b) a zipped manual where he describes his M2.b-method. In that document he also mentions M1 and refers to it as "method short". His own method is referred to as "method long" there. N2) I try to update this posting from time to time as far as needed N3) M1 does require editing of TXTSETUP.SIF; M2, i.e. M2.a and M2.b, do NOT require editing of TXTSETUP.SIF Thanks for ya help! edited_1: divided M1 into M1.a and M1.b; M2: new link added edited_2: divided M2 into M2.a and M2.b according to trainee's reply to this posting; introduced new section "notes" edited_3: added M1.c edited_4: deleted Question Q4 edited_5: updated this topic with new links, and renamed some outdated linknames

I think you prolly set a wrong directory in your winnt.sif According to your earlier mentioned path structure, change the OemPnPDriversPath-direction in the winnt.sif file into: OemPnPDriversPath="$1\drv\SCSI" Maybe this helps?!
