  1. It all depends.. where are you using it? what are you using it for? how often do you change the key?

    I've been doing work with stuff like that lately and it always depends... even if you lock down the connection what about the hardware being used? could they be broken into? If you're just asking about just the connection itself if you're just surfing at home it should be secure enough but I wouldn't trust it for a corporate environment

  2. well I'm automating the entire thing so the install isn't a problem... I'm just wondering about after the install if the keyboard will be recognized or at least it will be asked to authorize itself or if I'll still need the 2nd kb hooked up to use it... and there's a new intellipoint for bluetooth software out? every time I check MS' site it says it's only available on the cd

  3. I've been looking over posts all over the forum and I see people saying that the bluetooth support in SP2 is good and others saying it's bad... and talking to MS support they say I'll be fine...

    I have a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and usually during installs I would have to have a normal keyboard hooked up to be able to do anything... since I'm making an unattended cd that's not really a problem but when I finish I'm wondering will my keyboard work from the getgo or will I still need to install the intellipoint software (which MS still refuses to offer anywhere except on their cd)

    Is there anyone that has the MS bluetooth keyboard that has used SP2 that could give me an answer? vmware tests really don't help me figure it out...

    thanks in advance...

  4. and the language group should be right b/c I'm including some asian languages since some of the sites I check have characters like that so I want them to display properly

    Have you or anyone else figured out how to automatically install support for reading say Japanese characters? I asked about it in another thread but never got a response.

    To my understanding (and I am a noob to this so I could be dead wrong) but the languagegroup setting tells it which language packs to install.... so mine is english, chinese, japanese, etc and theoretically I should be able to go to one of those sites and not need to install the language pack... but I could be wrong...

    and no one has any tips or even places to look about the install file I'm using? I can accept needing to do the update page but I would like to have the rest of it be automated... then at least it's just one thing I need to do and then still have all my programs installed...

  5. Also, if you use encrypted admin password, autologon will not work, no matter how hard you try (its document in ref.chm under autologon), remove the \ after sata.  what is your OEM directory layout?

    $OEM$/$1/drivers

    then 000_sata, 001_network, 002_graphics

    I don't have any special chipset drivers to install but I have some extra (not the drive the install is going to) drives that I'd like found by the install so I can access them after the install is done

    and I removed the \.. thanks

  6. I've tried that before from other threads... I've used

    AutomaticUpdates="Yes"

    AutomaticUpdates="yes"

    AutomaticUpdates= "Yes"

    AutomaticUpdates= "yes"

    AutomaticUpdates=Yes

    AutomaticUpdates=yes

    AutomaticUpdates="1"

    AutomaticUpdates=1

    AutomaticUpdates= "1"

    AutomaticUpdates= 1

    and none of them make a difference... and in threads I've seen people have said that it's worked for them with the quotes and without the quotes...

    does the order have anything to do with it?

    and the language group should be right b/c I'm including some asian languages since some of the sites I check have characters like that so I want them to display properly. and I've removed those two lines... I found them in a couple of threads where people said that was why the resolution info was still coming up so that's why I added them... Also any suggestions for the bat file? am I not supposed to be using a bat file for this or something?

  7. I've checked the forums, I've checked the unattended page, I've checked google and I've tried everything that has been suggested and I still keep getting the mini-setup window

    Plus I keep getting the message about the screen resolution though I'm hoping that's b/c I'm using vmware so the drivers aren't being installed....

    also I'm working on having programs setup after install with my install.bat

    But it just sits there at a command prompt... I thought it was supposed to run the command and then run the next one once it was finished....

    ANY help at this point would be very much appreciated....

  8. After looking around the web I found out that the config.ini file has an option for a silent install... but the problem is that when I use it it hangs on the installation directory selection part... has anyone found a way to get past this as this seems to be the only thing keeping me from a silent install of thunderbird on my cd
