HEY all! Anyone else having problems with KB905915 update It causes errors all over the place on this drive and on a second drive it works just fine,,, I did manage to figure out it has something to do with the file browseui.dll cause I can leave all the newer files in place but just put back the older browseui.dll and all works fine....... Thanks Mac! Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on. --Zxian

may have been answer twice in you eyes but I don't call the question answer till the cow come home... Just saying install it is not the answer cause you want to........ I'm looking for something from say the microsoft site that say yes or no! not something someone else is assuming...

This is what I love about this forum a bunch of jerks,,, all you get is smarts a s s answers cause there is now way that is correct cause when you install 2.0 over a system that has 1.1 sp1 already it replaces the services........ DOH!

Is the newly released .NET Framework 2.0 a update that replaces the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 or do you need to install both of them.. Because I did a quick unattended install today and when I went to the windows update site it said I needed to install .NET Framework 1.1.. and If I look in the services it is showing that .NET Framework 2.0 is installed and running.... ASP.NET State Service C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_state.exe I'm confused and I'm hopping it is just the windows detection that is screwed up.. LOL it would not be the first time for them... Mac!

No body will ever be finished cause they come out with updates all the time.. Just today dotnet changed and that is why I use a CD-RW.........

Just some food for thought................ Once you understand how the register works You will find out that the tweaks need to be installed when the hives are put together that is at the end before the computer reboots the first time..,,, then reapplied during the t-12 stage and after the final reboot and when you apply then after the final reboot you have to kill task the EXPLORER.exe before applying the tweaks.. The reason you have to kill task the explorer some of the keys are in use and they are in mem and they are saved when you reboot so matter how many times you change them they will not stay cause when you reboot they are over written by what is memory............. so when you kill task explorer.exe they are saved from that then you run the tweaks and reboot bingo you see your changes,,,,,,,, I'm confused,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I have gone as far as tweaking the hive setup files,,,,,,,,,, and I run on the hidden default desktop...

How about going to the horse http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/li...MthRegWrite.asp Example Dim WshShell, bKey Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\", 1, "REG_BINARY" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader", "Goocher!", "REG_SZ" bKey = WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\") WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader") WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader" WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\" WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\"

It just seems to me people can't read What clue is there in this line that you don't understand or how can I change the machine policy to the way they work in XP.. THAT I'M NOT USING XP............... Posting any question in this forum is USELESS a waste of time... Cause You all can't read and if you knew anything about Windows server 2003 Enterprise you would know better than post stuff that don't work ........

I just love people like you that leap on the train cause you just fell off and got your legs cut off... Those settings do not work on windows 2003 sever enterprise... They have cut the phone line to those register settings... I had already added those cause I did a search here and other places,,, What I am finding is people are posting XP tweaks for 2003 server and they Don't work.. Here are the keys for XP HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00010001,0 HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00000001,0 HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching","DontSearchWindowsUpdate",0x00010001,1 HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching","DontPromptForWindowsUpdate",0x00010001,1 and here is my winnt.sft top section and it has nothing to do with what I'm after I'M TALKING POST INSTALL ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition = 1 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes AutomaticUpdates = No [unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended OemSkipEula = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\1_Ati;Drivers\2_Sam;Drivers\3_Dell;Drivers\4_Lan" TargetPath = \WINDOWS FileSystem = LeaveAlone DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore Repartition = No DUDisable = Yes Hibernation = No [shell] DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes DefaultThemesOff = Yes So who knows the answer......... Mac!

Who and what can I edit to make windows ignore the driving signing during the post installation of drivers,, I'm talking about during the runonce install part... or how can I change the machine policy to the way they work in XP.. I pulled this below off the M& site. You cannot install programs with unsigned drivers in non-interactive mode in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows XP To install a program in non-interactive mode, the driver package must have a .cat file that is digitally signed by Microsoft. Note In Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, the driver signing policy level can be set to “ignore” when you install unsigned drivers. In Windows Server 2003, the default setting for driver signing policy is “warn." The “ignore” policy setting is not available in Windows Server 2003

Hi! all I'm trying to work out some code to turn on the video accelerators and the other enhancers and I need to know what is the correct syntax to use to pull the value of the register string \Device\Video0 in the key VIDEO.. just dropping the \Device\Video0 in the normal way the WshShell.RegRead( thinks it is looking in the device key for the Video0 reg string I have tried the other programs posted but they just don't work in the silent install mode,, Not even close,, So it is time to dig a little and make one.. Once I get past this I will be able to finish the rest of the code.. I need this value so I can strip the /0000 off the end or what ever number gets put in there,,, I also think that I will be able to just delete the Axel.level key this way it will work for everyone.. LOl I have the rest of the keys to finish the script it is just this is one spot I can't find the correct syntax for.. On Error Resume Next DIM PNPDeviceID, VideoID, ClassGUID, Driver, Level,Acceler,Video0,Bingo strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_VideoController") Wscript.Echo "Number of Video Controllers: " & colItems.Count For Each objItem in colItems PNPDeviceID = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\" & objItem.PNPDeviceID Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") VideoID = WshShell.RegRead(PNPDeviceID & "\Device Parameters\VideoID") ClassGUID = WshShell.RegRead(PNPDeviceID & "\ClassGUID") Driver = WshShell.RegRead(PNPDeviceID & "\Driver") Level = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\" & VideoID & "\0000\Acceleration.Level" Acceler = WshShell.RegRead(Level) Video0 = WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\VIDEO\ \Device\Video0") WScript.Echo Video0 Next If you are confused look in the register here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\VIDEO\ then look at the Reg string \Device\Video you will see it... I need to know how to make it look at the \Device\Video as the reg string and not a key called Device with a reg string called Video0.. Once I get the correct syntax I can change the thread to read Silent Install How to turn Enable video accelerator to full and Enable directdraw , Direct3D and AGP texture

Found this link in the FAQ http://win2k3.msfn.org/index.htm It is a little out of date but if you think bigger it is fine and works ... Great for a starter kit... It told how to turn off that extra security stuff that you don't need on a work station ....... I like to play so if it is missing something from XP or W2K I'll do a search and find what to put back... My next run will be to add the M$ games back ... I'm still a flaky on INF files so I hope I got all the files ... Ok you all answer my question with what I was thinking and seeing just better versions but missing stuff.......... Cool Now it is time to play......... Also I'm not sure yet but is the server going or not... What do I look for,,,,,,, I skipped the part in the beginning to set up the server... The part where it wants you to add roles to your server... Thanks Mac!

Hi! All! A little backgound music here.......... I got a hold of a Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition CD.. With a CD Volume Label of NRMEVOL_EN CD ... I slipstream SP1 into it too........ It is cool so far Just enter the CD key and go no activation required.. Just install and go. It has way less updates needed after the install too It already has IE6 SP1 and WMP 10 in it...... Looks like IE6 functions the same way Windows XP Pro does That is the extra blockers What I also like is it come up looking like Windows 98SE and W2k no themes..... The files all seem to be newer date and newer versions Than what xp has.............. ........ Now to the Question :?: If there is anyone here using Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition Please comment the good and the bad on it ... Also I don't care about using the server part I am just looking at using it as my main OS cause all the file versions are newer .......... Thanks MaC!

What is Encoding type used for reg file W2K I'm trying to import some register files while installing W2K but the issue is when I go to merge the file during W2K installation it whines and says something about they are not register script files ... What is funny I have other pre-made reg file that I am merging from the same folder and they work fine If I merge them after W2K finishes the installation they work fine.... I even added the register settings by using the applet control panel in IE then I exported the register informatiom and it still kicked them out ........... I'm pulling my hair out........ Mac! P.S. The four Encoding options are ANSI Unicode Unicode big endian UTF-8

This is what I get for reading the M$ help files Plus all the site I found had copied and pasted the incorrect stuff too.... Oh no So in case anyone finds this the $OEM$ folder has to go in the Root of the CD (Like XP) when doing CD installs ..... The M$ Help file and all the sites I found except one showed the $OEM$ folder as a sub folder of the I386 folder....... MaC!

How do you get W2K to find the drivers like you do in XP......... I used these two pages for XP they work fine in XP http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/drivers/drivers.htm http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htm I know it is seeing the Green Machine TXTSETUP part.. Cause I no longer have to put in the floppy.. for the first part of the W2K install files to the Hard drive.. But when it gets done and reboots it looks like W2k is starting but then it says can't find boot device...... I know it is finding the $OEM$ cause it does other thing that I added to the $OEM$ folder if I load the maxtor driver with the floppy.. also it is not finding or install any other drivers from the Driver folder... but follows other direction in the $OEM$ folder What is different in W2K.... I used the same files as I did on XP except change the drivers to W2K files......... Thanks............ Mac!

I would beat you got a chopped up vista beta LOL I have seen allot of threads on many forums with vista download links posted and most of them are either fake or chopped up ...

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51887

you unhide then the same way you do it in windows XP......... look in the control panel... and the applet is called folder options...... LOl after looking vista over it looks the same as XP... The under the hood stuff may be changing but the steeing wheel, gas pedal and the brake pedal are still in the same place....

So much for Vista Stuff will not install so I'll wait a few year then play again.............

Anybody seen any updated drivers for ATI products... The beta one is for the 64 bit platform.. and the normal 32 bit XP drivers will not install,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The drivers that came with the installation CD works very poorly when you change the screen resolution the borders are not correct .......... When you play games they all use different resolutions...... Good thing it is still a beta,,,,,,, At one time IE6 was a beta to and I cried allot while it was a beta ... Now it works just fine for me....... Thanks Mac!

Looks like they pulled KB896727 cause I got it fresh and it would not install said it was corrupt,,, and when I went back to check it was gone..

Thanks BUT a big DOH on me ,,,,,,, The file that I played with (found at a different forum) was a IE beta version 7 and it changed my update page to the IE version 7 beta site.... LOL Understanding how the files work cause of all the post that I have read here and there I changed it back to the right site ............. DOH...... Mac!

That is the old one they have change the update site to included a new active x that includs the office 2003 updates,,,,,,, I already had the qen-u-whine dll installed and registered.......... Looking for the new active x stuff . it might just be some new stuff to add on top of the old stuff thanks

there was a link on here for the old WUAgent.exe anybody got the new link..........
