Synapse

yeap i was just trying the ".\" method as well... heres what i got.. in cmdlines.txt i got and just have the XPLode folder in my $OEM$ folder.. this is completly off the CD (yours copies all the files over to the harddrive, then runs it.. *you'll see your files being copied after the 100% of the txtsetup*)

*edit* since i dont' want it lookin liek i'm double posting lol. I have gotten this to work using.. cmdlines.txt Cmdlines.txt have the entire XPLode folder in $OEM$\$1\Install\ and rename the xplode xml file to XPLode.xml (for which ever one you want.. i personally used the XPLode-GFX.xml.. just renamed to XPLode.xml... i'm sure theres a way to run this without the hardcoded path.. maybe from a cmd file, i'll try that now.

ahh yae completly forgot about the oembios files, weird.. cause the CD's i made from my restore cd works on both my emachines and my hp (diffrent serials numbers of course)

did you by chance use nLite? or have you disabled any services... its possible you disabled soemthing that Remote Desktop needed and the first time you ran it it couldn't run.. but started the services.. the second time it ran cause the services were running.. just an idea though.

make a shortcut to it lol

see if you can even run it... by going to start -> run -> %SystemRoot%\System32\mstsc.exe

all OEM keys i've ever seen and gotten were Home Edition... I don't believe theres a method to make 1 CD for all... but you may want to read into setupp.ini (check google)...

http://www.internetfixes.com/weekly_news_l...ndows_ne_75.htm that will hide the drives, but they wil still be able to access them if they go to run -> G: or any other drive letter. and dos will be able to see the drives as well. i have my family account on my computer set up like that so my family doesn't go searchin through my backup harddrive.... and find all my "stuff"..... by the way... you gotta log on to the other account to do this.. since this key is for "Hkey_Current_user" unless you have XP Pro then this looks to be the only way... if you have xppro, there may be a section in gpedit that will allow you to block it.

Both very funny. I don't see the problem with the second joke being posted here.. its related to the first one..

hmm, everything looks normal. your cmdlines.txt file is in the $OEM$ folder right? but i may be wrong about this, but you may have to have the xplode.cmd file next to the cmdlines.txt file.. then have your cmdlines.txt file look like this.. and in your xplode.cmd file have *edit*by the way... i find it's easier to rename the XPlode xml file you want to use to XPlode.xml.. this will remove the need of the "/xml:"#XPLODE#\XPlode-GFXinstall.xml"" in your code.. and just running the xplode.exe without any parameters will start it. if you rename your XPlode-GFXinstall.xml to XPlode.xml you should be able to start XPlode from cmdlines.txt something like this.. and have your entire xplode folder in the $OEM$ folder.

haven't really used xplode, but what does the log file C:\xplode.log say?

cool thanks always wanted to play around with this, just never liked the idea of making a new cd every 2 weeks lol. can't wait to see what the rest of the MSFN community makes with this

na this thing isn't real.. look at the url.. then look at what site its trying to mimic.

if its on the net i can usually find it. giving i have a little info on what i'm looking for glad i could help

Counter-Strike 1.6 when you can find a server that isn't flooded with cheaters. Battlefield 1942, just cause i love taking the SCUD-B and pounding their base, killing 1-3 people per shot lol. Day of Defeat (not source), cause i love the guns in there, especially the K-98 Axis bolt action. PokerStars, when i'm winning... when i'm losing i hate the game lol.

lol got to level 2, pretty hard. first time i ran it i took a screenshot of it went to photoshop and changed the opacity to make sure it wasn't one of those pop out things lol.

well, good news bad news.... Good News: http://cs-tact.ausgamers.com/aDupload/uploads/aei.gif (the picture you have) http://cs-tact.ausgamers.com/aDupload/uploads/dance.gif (a new one..) http://203.26.98.43/modules.php?name=Forum...iewtopic&t=1865 he/she/it(lol) has a MSN account, which you can find here http://203.26.98.43/modules.php?name=Forum...ewprofile&u=764 judging from the posts.. the avatar was made by her/him... so finding anything else would be pretty hard. bad news is the newest post i've found of BinK was in 2004.. so i dunno what your chances of finding the author if you want to is.. hope this helps

*EDIT* solution found on another forum.. thanks for the help guys.

never seen that cat before, i tried searching google images, tried searching by the image size, tried a couple animated cat galleries... but then my dog came in and unplugged my computer.....just kidding =P wish i could help ya.. any other info on it? what about the original filename?

the string is sent when a user clicks a link in my aim profile which opens the aimtoday window and is redirected to my site.., the data that is sent that i want is the users screenname (which is easy with something like profile.php?username=%n.. but since i need the build number also I'd like to not do this..) and the build number... so for example.. you click on my link in my profile using aim 5.5.35xx thus opening up a 533 x 360 window with Internet Explorer Embeded... then you can see my profile and i can do things like put movies in there.. pictures, etc... which i'm hoping i can do things like, write a tutorial in there, put up unlimited links, etc.. or anything else useful.. what i want to do with it.. is if the build number is between 2 certain numbers to use the 533 x 360 background wallpaper.. if its anything higher, to use a seperate bigger background... thus getting rid of a tiled look.. the retrieval of the screenname is just for cosmetics.. to do something like Hello Bi0haZarD, and so on.. this is mainly to teach myself PHP.. or i would jsut find an alternative like smartprofile to do this...

if i'm reading his code right, thats for giving the user a link like mysite.com/pears.php?pears=10&carrots=5 which sure does work, but i don't want to have to do this since the user can easily spoof this by changing it in the URL... insted the data i want is sent much like the GET, User-Agent, Host, Connection, Cookie, etc.. so in my code i have something like this.. <? $myinfo = $_SERVER['HTTP_MY_INFO']; echo "Hello: $myinfo" ?>the problem being is that it comes back with a string like this "Hello: apples=1&Bananas=5&Carrots=3421&Pears=7&Watermelons=10" but all i want out of it would bee the Carrots and the Pears. Hope that made sence.

hahah awesome.

no sorry doesn't help, where i'm getting this string is from the $_SERVER predefined variable, seen here http://us2.php.net/reserved.variables but i get a bunch of data that i don't need in 1 string/variable. I guess i should be lookin more towards string trimming and trim the data out of there.. which i hate doing lol.

Hello, been lookin all over the net on how to do this... but can't find out how.. I want to be able to parse out only 2 parts of a string that i'm retrieving from the user.. *This is needed in PHP incase you didn't see the title* take this for example... now.. the data i want to parse out is Carrots and Pears... discarding the rest of the data.. and i want them to be assigned to 2 variables automatically, $Carrots and $Pears which i can then echo.. I'm a newb when it comes to PHP so bear with me =P oh.. and have $carrots = '3421' not.. $carrots = 'Carrots=3241' etc.. Thanks *EDIT* ok, since were on the topic of string manipulation.. and i don't want to have 2 topics going.. how would i be able to check if carrots is greater then 1000 then display something else.. example.. if $carrots > '1001' then $carrots = 'Over 1,000 Carrots' thanks again
