If you are so scared of d/l'ing stuff via BT Client. Go and get Peer Guardian 2. it will for the most part protect you from Gov, Ads, Schools, that are tracking ppl. You can find it on various places on the web, but you can go to [url="http://methlabs.org"]http://methlabs.org[/url] and get a spyware copy for free.

Hey everyone I figured it out. My uxtheme.dll had become corrupted so I just replaced it and everything works fine now. Thanks for all your help.

I looked in the Group Policy section and nothing has been configured in it. And, also my themes won't apply now. It goes back to classic style, and when I go to control panel and apply it my screen goes all gray and puter locks up. I have to reboot and theme isn't applied. I've ran virus scanner, spyware scanners, and they find nothing. So what is going wrong? Help me. Thxs.

I don't see anything wrong it the Group Policy. Be more specific. Thanks.

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer. Please contact your System Administrator." My account is already an administrator account. When I right click on my taskbar I recieve the above errors. This is my on personal pc, and one day I lost my Visual Theme and the taskbar options. I now have the Visual Theme resolved. If I create another account I can right click the taskbar, but not on my org account, but I don't wanna go that route since them I move have to migrate all my shortcuts back in place on my start menu. Help Me.

Well I want them to install in the unattended process as well. I don't wanna have to come back and install it from the cd unless. Also, I have the cmds in the Install folder, but I read in the guide to put proggies in $Progs folder and direct them using the GuiRunOnce section. I tried all the examples that ppl are posted and those didn't work for me. There isn't a winnzip32.exe in the prog. dir, but it's a setup.exe. So go figure. Any help wil be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, I'm back everyone with some more questions. What I wanna do is use the GuiRunOnce section to install Winzip 9.0 Corp, WinRAR 3.3 Corp, M$ Plus, Adobe 6 Pro Full, and Diskkeeper Server Edition 8.0. I have wrote cmd files in notepad and to test them I click on them and I get an error stating it can't find C:\Program..... I have the setup files in a folder inside $OEM$/Progs'...,, and I have the cmd files in $OEM$/Install. I need the switches to install these proggies onto my unattended cd. I think I'm writing the cmds wrong. @echo off title Winzip 9.0 Corp. echo Hello User echo. echo Installing Winzip 9.0 Corp start /wait %Programfiles%\install\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstall echo Installation complete! and @echo off title WinRar 3.30 Corp. echo Hello User echo. echo Installing winrar 3.30 Corp start /wait %Programfiles%\winrar/s echo Installation complete! So any help will be ibliged.

What are the switches for Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 Full?

Well, thanks for your reply. I used SetupMgr, and I figured out what I did. You can't rename the unattended.txt after it's placed in the folder, but you have to do in SetupMgr before you save it to the folder and extract it there. Thanks for everyone's hard work in helping me to try and resolve the issue.

Well, I'm almost tired of trying to resolve this issue, and gonna say screw it. It's not worth this much hassel. No, I've burned the ISO three times and none of them would boot; gave the error I stated earlier. Second, ISObuster doesn't make a boot image for XP. Third, I don't have another computer to install a test on to screw it up. Fourth, Personally I think the MSFN guide sucks. Not enough detail. I've done everything by the guide and it still doesn't work. My answer file is all correct. Looks like everyone else's. The XP boot image I d/l'ed was 2KB. So if someone wants to try building it for me and d/l the file from my FTP and re-add it after they finished it. That's fine, and all game for that. I'm to frustrated to deal with it anymore.

Well, I haven't tried that yet, but it would pointless to make coasters. I've made three of them already, becasue it's not reading the XPBoot.img. I gives error: CDBOOT: cannot boot from CD - Code 5. I made the cd with CDImage Pro in which places the boot img into the ISO it creates with the ISO Creator for WinXP Pro.

What do u mean by VPC? Do u mean convert it to something else?

No, it won't input anything. The unattended won't work unless you're right there with it to re-input everything. So it's pointless to do an unattended if it won't allow it to insert everything automatically. If I have to be present during the install it's not an unattended install then. It won't even auto partition, nor input anything I have listed in the script.

Yes it has my name and org, and yes I changed it back to 1.

Well that didn't work. Now it stops at the formatting screen. It looks like yours almost except for all the extra stuff you put in yours.

Here's the new Winnt.sif file: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition ="1" MsDosInitiated ="0" UnattendedInstall ="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended OemSkipEula = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes TargetPath = \WINDOW [UserData] ProductKey= "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" FullName = "User" OrgName = "Home User" ComputerName = HOME [GuiUnattended] TimeZone = "001" AdminPassword="123456" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 AutoLogon = Yes AutoLogonCount = 1 [Display] BitsPerPel= 32 Xresolution = 1024 YResolution = 768 Vrefresh = 85 [Components] AccessOpt = Off msnexplr=off msmsgs=off freecell=off hearts=on minesweeper=on pinball=on solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemeOff=Yes [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=http://www.yahoo.com Search_Page=http://www.google.com [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes Also here is the winnt.bat file as well: @rem SetupMgrTag @echo off set AnswerFile=.\winnt.sif set SetupFiles=E:\i386 E:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang

Well when I burned the img and testing in Virtual PC it still brings up the Windows Format Screen and then the EULA. How can I just make it format the whole drive and and lets Windows manage the format totally?

I am testing it right now after I burn this img again. Also, when writing the application cmds. Do I need to have the RunOnceEx and the cmdlines.txt or jus' one or the other? All I'm wanting to do right now is install Adobe 6 Pro, WinRar 3.30 Corp, Winzip 9.0 Corp, XP Plus, Diskeeper 8.0 Server Edition, and WMP 10. And then down the road insert Office 2K3 Pro into it as well. I know it will all fit on a DVD-R.

Hi everyone when I try to do an unattended install it flickers the screen on/off a few times and then it brings up the regional settings and to fill in and Name, Organization, etc. Why is it doing this? I've followed the guide and still hasn't worked for me yet. Here is the winnt.sif file. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="123456" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="user" OrgName="Home User" ComputerName=HOME [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=85 [Components] AccessOpt = Off msnexplr=off msmsgs=off freecell=off hearts=on minesweeper=on pinball=on solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemeOff=Yes [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=http://www.yahoo.com Search_Page=http://www.google.com [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes Can someone look over this and see what I'm doing wrong if any? Thanks.
