So I've recently updated my build dvd, and everything works fine - a couple of minor issues are around the basic task of settings a default wallpaper for all clients. I am using the following registry setting through a registry tweaks file which is merged during runonceex. The odd thing is that the setting appears to half work, in that in display properties the correct .jpg is selected, but the background is not displayed, instead you get only the blue background. If i look at desktop properties, I see that there is no value set for the 'Tile / Stretch' options. If I choose stretch, OK then apply out, the background appears and everything is well. I have the registry tweaks I use below: ;Wallpaper Setup [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "TileWallpaper"="0" "Wallpaper"="%systemroot%\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Bliss.jpg" "WallpaperStyle"="3" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "TileWallpaper"="0" "Wallpaper"="%systemroot%\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Bliss.jpg" "WallpaperStyle"="3" Here are the contents of the registry for the user, pre and

anybody? purleeease?

Okay, so just updated my SP2 XP unattend installation, and this time I thought I'd try out nlite - great tool, makes this sooo much simpler - why didnt MS have something like this originally! Anyhoo, my problem is two fold, and i'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting. First things first, I added all the device specific drivers into the build thru nlite, however, during the GUI mode setup phase, when we are doing the device driver detection, i get the "Found new hardware" wizard pop up! The wizard has just detected the new display device, in this case, i'm testing on a Dell Inspiron 6000, so its the laptop screen. I haven't specificall included the device drivers for this, as it is a generic device and inbox drivers are fine. If I allow it to go through the autosetup / detect, it detects the plug and play monitor drivers and installs just fine. Obviously, this is not good for an unattended setup scenario. Why is this? Any suggestions? My second problem is a bit more tricky - during the first login post app install, I get an error message saying that one of my devices cannot be installed: see the attached screen shot. The specific error message is "Cannot install this hardware" "There was a problem installing this hardware: SigmaTel C-Major Audio An Error occured during the installation of this device A device attached to the system is not functioning. Click Finish to Close the Wizard. Subsequently, reviewing the device in control panel, it is marked with a yellow exclamation mark, and the error The Device is not configured correctly. To reinstall the drivers for this device correctly, click reinstall driver" If you do click 'reinstall driver' this wizard completes with the same error. If i install the driver manually, it installs just fine! In setupapi.log, i get the following error multiple times : #-166 Device install function: DIF_INSTALLDEVICE. #E151 Coinstaller 1 of 1 failed. Error 31: A device attached to the system is not functioning. #I060 Set selected driver. #-166 Device install function: DIF_INSTALLDEVICE. #E151 Coinstaller 1 of 1 failed. Error 31: A device attached to the system is not functioning. #-166 Device install function: DIF_INSTALLDEVICE. #E151 Coinstaller 1 of 1 failed. Error 31: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Nothing in the event log. Any Idea's? thanks 573310
