If they were really giving a concerted effort I dont think sticking it to the bottom would be the first choice. Nonetheless, Telephone Activation solves the issue of being able to activate a valid key.

search Nu2menu, its quite fun.

@John Im flattered, really. But Im not the OP, and would agree wholly that neither I nor the poster have found a bug.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en that bias hard to find. No one was saying that it was "the SP3 fix", initial searches only turned up SP2 versions cause everyone other o/s is getting 959087, so it led me to believe maybe the KB was not for SP3. IMHO having to tack a couple of hotfixes into the runonce or cmdlines does not make Nlite any less great for integrating ummmm.... every other aspect of my unattended install.

Purely for my education while I am learning new things about start. Is the "missing title problem" just folks putting the first argument in quotes i.e start "program.exe" thinking that they will execute the program rather than realizing they are specifying a title? Or are there other issues that arise?

O/s and Service Pack and a little history on what you have already done to the source always helps the cause. and I believe he may want your lastsession.ini, thats a fairly commonplace request.

are you still calling the media player seperately? edit: If so, i did not try it that way. Make a batch with just the 'start' line, the symptoms should be the same as if you double clicked the file.

Its for SP2 according to the M$ documentation Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB952069) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

@echo off start /b cmd /c "C:\windows\clock.avi" PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 13000 > NUL taskkill /IM wmplayer.exe Sub out your .AVI in the START and your length of time in the ping in miliseconds (13000=13sec). I played the 12 second clock (13 cause it goes back to one) then close it. Issuing a dead ping for that length of time to delay the taskkill. Its crude but functional.

Make sure you are typing regsvr32 (you have a bonus r in yours). Provided that your issue is still the inability to open cmd prompt as an administrator this may work. Im not on my Vista box but I suppose you could write an autoit script that: ****NOT SYNTACTICALLY CORRECT*** send "{windows}+r" (think you have to say down and up for the windows key) send "cmd" send "{ctrl}+{shift}+{enter}" - opens as admin (probably need to sleep for a sec or winwaitactive for the dialog) send "{alt}+c" - closes UAC dialog then the regsvr32 command exit

Try SET REGKEY= REG ADD %REGKEY% because from what I can tell you set a %KEY% path, then use %REGKEY% in the entries.

".\runonceex.cmd" I believe it thinks you are trying to run that from sys32 if you dont give a full path.

Yeah, I do all my reg add from cmdlines and runonce .cmds. There is also the regtweaks if you want to try other options. I recommend you build a batch first with the reg add key and make sure it functions before wasting an hour waiting for a runonce to fail.

It is looking like I get volume 0 and volume 1 consistently when they are on the same cable, but have yet to introduce other devices. ----------------------- Both fine quotes, though they lose something when applied to veiled praise. (wow from roman history to the power of positive thinking, quite diverse) I think this one would be more abrasive to those who attempt to genuinely place blame, and as a bonus he was italian too. .

you got me, and to think I followed that train to a successful conclusion, i mustve been out and got lucky. I saw that a while back. I was having issues with WU, as was a concern in the thread you linked, and a couple of other quirks as well. They only pointed to IE as the cause and I could never determine what was throwing mine. I Read around and got directed to that article and slipping 1a before integrating 3 cleared it up without removing other modifications.

Jaclaz thats is very nice. If there are multiple fixed CD/DVD drives is there a way prior to load to determine in which order your script will name them. Im thinking when I have a 2 DVD load (Im at like 3.6GB right now so its coming), running your solution at T-13 from cmdlines.cmd would allow me to access data from a DVD in another tray during the runonce portion if I knew what letter it was getting, further eliminating user tasks.) Or - If I throttle my users to a max of 2 cd/dvd drives, does a second optical drive assume the same volume every time so I could add a second line to the diskpart arguments. All apologies for hijacking your thread, I blame Jaclaz for showing how the cool kids do it. B)

com = comsetup.dll display = desk.cpl freestyle = medctroc.dll netfx = netfxocm.dll <--believe that guy is just the 1.0 framework action that shipped with XP ntcomponents = ntoc.dll terminalserver = TsOc.dll wbem = ocgen.dll are all components that can be hidden from the components view via the c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf. But since you are enjoying the removal process these are fairly standard as well.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389 To install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), either Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) must already be installed. If you have to install Windows XP Service Pack 1a or Windows XP Service Pack 2, go to the "Windows XP Service Pack 1a" section or the "Windows XP Service Pack 2" section in this article.

sure, but then does that not make the question (and hopefully not too cynical). "Have you ever ghosted a box and its been all jacked up, then reghosted it and it was fine?"

maybe this? FOR %%i IN (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 %%i:\CD.TXT SET CDROM=%%i: just use it instead of the set command. If you throw that if statement into the search bar you will see other threads very similar.

and .net 3.5. I have apps that still require .net 1.1. That and subsequently the security fix are not in the redistro for 3.5. If you can point me towards a package that combines the lot than Im going to stray off topic with europeans more often. As for the OP I dont really understand that sentence. Did you ghost it or did you load a fresh factory image?

Maybe that was too many things in one breath. I absolutely agree the symptoms are that of a corrupt package, all day. I just believe there are some fantastic flaws in SP3 that are surfacing as many posters are getting similar errors from very different variables. ---------------------- "With this package you don't need to install anything before except SP3." What magical things are you doing in Munchen with the 2.8mb SP1 download that doesnt require any of the existing baselines?

that article is a bit misleading, no? pardon me while I veer off topic and question the article Xp ships with 1.0 which does not show up in the control panel. (except for compact 1.0 sp3) and I install 1.1 KB928366 and .NET3.5 from cmdlines.txt with a 'net stop msiserver' between because 1.1 likes to bogart the installer service for minutes after it has finished. Other than having to manually kill the install service its all clean. @An3k in thinking that its an install or package issue, I would certainly jump on board except I recently had an issue with the SQL Server 2005 hotfix M$ published and the registry entries I had to remove to get success did not inhibit the load in SP2.

I would start by copying those questions into search verbatim. The only one that looks like fun is the custom control panel applets. EDIT: I lied this one is an easy find as well http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t105512.html With themes, fonts, and startup solutions its probably harder to not find a post.
