Synapse

single, 21, no kids.. thank god.. if the future Mrs. Bi0haZarD wants to have kids then we will but i really can't stand kids.. don't have the patience to deal with them.. got a 25 year old sister that has 2 kids (6 and 1) and they get on my nerves..

I disagree, frankly because i find Freeware programs to be updated more and better then their commercial counterparts..

hmm pretty broad question.. if you do a lot of emailing make an email POP3 server. if you do internet gaming then you could make a Ventrilo / Teamspeak server, if you need to transfer files between a relatives or work or whatever make a FTP server.. If you wish to make a website make a web server using apache or any other web server. as with all these servers, make sure to keep them updated. since not updating seems to be the biggest security exploit out there. Me personally, I got a Server with an 80 gig hard drive taht i use just for Ventrilo (only 8 slots ) and File Transfering across my network.

I've always ran this at the begining of my cleanup batch file... shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..." 60 seconds seems to be perfect for windows to load all the way in and become idle.

make a boot floppy and put hal.dll on it.. I think you have to have the same version and language.. so if its XP Home SP2 English.. get a hal.dll thats XP Home SP2 English... then boot up and type Copy A:\hal.dll C:\windows\system32\ that should work.. hal.dll is only like 75kb so there should be no size problem. get a Windows ME boot floppy maker from: http://spock.uccs.edu/pub/bootdisks/bootme.exe

ok, if any of you are like me you pretty much live on AIM lol. well here i present to you, AIM 5.5.3598 + Aimutation (Modification for AIM to allow hiding of the Advertisements, Logging of IM's *including IM's, Chat, Images, Files, Sounds*, Customizing the colors of the AIM window, or downloaded skins) and Custom registry Settings... This Installer Does the Following: 1. Installs AIM + Aimutation to %Program Files%\AIM 2. Copies the file msvcp71.dll to the system directory (needed for Aimutation) 3. Puts shortcuts on the Start Menu + AOL Instant Messenger Shortcut on the Desktop 4. Adds AIM to Run in the registry (to auto run aim when windows starts) 5. Merges Registry Information from the file Settings.reg in the directory where AIMInstall.exe is, Silently. 6. Makes the Uninstaller. The Settings.reg file can be made by going to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online and exporting that. save it as settings.reg and place it in the same folder as AIMInstall.exe. there is a settings.reg file included that has my settings (minus my Username & Password).. My Settings puts the main window in the upper right corner at resolution 1024 x 768. turns off the aim today window (if you're running lower then like 5.9 it only shows the upgrade to aim 5.9 window by default), auto accepts direct IM's from people on my friend list, tells aim i'm in the US and much more.. read it in notepad to see all the settings. I thought about making a settings.reg file maker in autoit.. but with all the complications of the country, hex values for the window locations.. etc.. i decided against it. Download AIMInstall.zip: http://rapidshare.de/files/8291889/AimInstall.zip.html *For Advanced Only, This is the script used to make the Installer.. only needed if you wish to change something* Download AIMInstall.nsi: http://rapidshare.de/files/8290641/AIM.nsi.html Silent Install: AIMInstall.exe /S AIMInstall.exe and Settings.reg must be in the same folder for the settings.reg file to be merged into the registry. Cheers, Haven't had any problems with it. If you find any bugs please report them in this thread *EDIT* TO USE MY SETTINGS.REG FILE! open the settings.reg file in notepad, and hit edit -> replace.. in the Find What box type: msfnpwns in the Replace with box type: yourscreenname then hit replace all. you can change the password1 part to have your encrypted password in the registry so its saved in there.. you can find this in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger \CurrentVersion\Users\youscreenname\Login after you've installed and had AIM save your password. then just save the file.. don't need to manually merge the regfile, as the installer will do this for you. *EDIT* took down the last version and uploaded a new one.. this one looks for the logs folder at Logs\ insted of the hardcoded C:\Program Files\AIM\Logs... this is to prevent problems from people that have their program files on another hard drive like D:\Program files.

hah nice reminds me of a time my friends and i dared another one of our friends to try snorting some Coka Cola during lunch... he ended up with red eyes from the burning sensation... he was late to his next class which some of us were in as well.. the teacher asked why he was late and said he had to go to the bathroom after snorting some coke.. ended up in the main office and had to do a drug test. even after like 6 of us all said he snorted some coca cola.. lolz.

Happy Birthday Ripken. Awesome Rig you got there

hmm good point. seeing how DVDfab Decrypter can already be silently installed (/Silent) guess there would be no point in me making a silent installer for it lol. still going to use DVD Decrypter, but when i start running into problems i'll switch to DVDfab

The NSIS is only for people that want to add their own custom settings.. its more for the advanced people. the installer exe doesn't need any other files, just make sure to put the /S command to make it silent. The Reg File is incase you run dvd decrypter on another user.. since the regstring for the autoupdate is enabled by default the program gets an error message of "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!". so simple answer... if you're only using 1 user.. just install with the /S parameter so it'll be silent... if you plan on making another user later on, you will need that regfile to allow the other user to use the program without getting the "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!" message. hope this clears that up.

is it really that hard to search? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&sho...ndpost&p=229385 just edit the script to you're liking..

sweetness was waiting for CCleaner to get updated. very nice job, no problems here.

thanks for the comments all I have found one minor bug.. and that is if another user account is created the reg string for the disable auto update doesn't come over with that user.. a simple bugfix for this for now is to run this regstring on the account with the problem.. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DVD Decrypter] "EVENTS_CheckForProgramUpdate"=dword:00000000 if you get the error "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!" this is the cause of it. from what i've read putting the above regstring in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\DVD Decrypter should've made it so that any accounts created would have this regstring.. guess i was wrong. DVD Decrypter won't access the internet if its ran on another account since i've pretty much made it impossible to do so. so nothing has been sent if you ran it on another user.

Warning, download this at your own risk. by downloading this you agree to the original authors Term of Agreements and all that other mumbo jumbo... To Moderators: If this is considered "warez" or is against the rules feel free to delete this thread at anytime. ok after getting inspired by RogueSpear from this post.. i decided to further go with the DVD Decrypter installer. well his DVD Decrypter installer was good, worked like a charm.. however i didn't like the fact that the user could still hit Help -> Check for New Version or check the box in settings for Check for New Version on startup.. I also didn't like the links in the about box since from what i've heard any access to the authors website will get your IP Logged by the people that took his domain down. (I'm superparanoid lol) anyways, what i've changed was: 1. removed most of the help menu items. (only About is left). 2. hid the settings checkbox for update on next reboot and made it Enabled = False 3. hid the links, web + email labels on the about box.. so no accidental clicks there. then made a Nullsoft Install System Script *attached* to make the shortcuts on the startmenu, make an uninstaller and add a registry key to tell DVDDecrypter to not check for updates. now this is where i got happy... even if the user was to go into the registry and turn the update feature back on... it comes back with an error of "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!".. and doesn't try to connect... so its pretty much 99% non-update proof (i'm sure theres probably a way that someone would find out how to make it update lol) Download: http://rapidshare.de/files/8168589/DVD_Decrypter.exe.html Silent Switch: /S NSI File: http://rapidshare.de/files/8168930/DVDDecrypter.nsi.html *Incase someone doesn't know what an nsi file is... NSI File is Nullsoft Install System, Basically a Script for the installer and registry stuff.. open the file in notepad if you want to take a look. this file is UNNECESSARY to use the installer and will run perfectly fine without this file.* Hope someone finds this helpful. If anyone finds any bugs please let me know. I'll get them sorted ASAP. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

it's a cracked key anyways lol. check it with google. would post the link to the results of google myself but guessing that would be borderline breakin the rules of the forum lol.

sounds to me to be a driver problem, your unattend.txt file looks fine from here. so my guess is that with the slipstreamed drivers you're installing drivers that are too old or just plain and simple the wrong drivers for a peice of hardware in the comp.

just wondering but can the unattend.txt file be deleted after a winnt.sif file has been created and setup? thx

what the other members have said should get this workin.. btw, it'd probably be wise to use a legit cd-key :/

Biohazard was too stupid, so i used my other online handle....

holy crap.. people still use floppies? i put a floppy drive in my comp just in case i ever needed it, i've only used it like 3 times in a total of 3 years. lol.

google of course, when i double click my browser icon i want it up and running, so i can either search right then and there, or type in an address like msfn.org. i've moved so many people from yahoo to google just because of the loading time diffrences.

since it hasn't been answered here, CCleaner "Crap Cleaner" is a third party application. its an excellent freeware tool to clean up some of the "Crap" files like temporary internet files, internet cache, and so on.

hello, I just downloaded Ktool, and the source code. i put it on my network server, and tried as well, however it ran fine for me. I looked through the source code and saw no error message that resembled the one you're getting. could you get a screenshot of the error message.

with Regshot i found this: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-**********-**********-*********-****\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop\ItemPos1024x768(1) the part in asteriks (*) is random, but be note its the one without the "_Classes" at the end.. the key at the end "ItemPos1024x768(1)" is because i run my desktop at 1024x768 if you wish to play around with this, run a registry monitor program, i prefer regshot, and take a shot, then move an icon and right click the desktop and hit refresh, then do the second shot. the refresh must be done for the registry to save the position thus giving you the binary code. hope this helps
