I downloaded the version released a few days ago by Microsoft and it would install but not open on my computer. This updated version by Microsoft is now working for me. http://download.microsoft.com/download%2f3...nColorSetup.exe For those of you looking to shrink down the install size for an unattended CD follow these steps. 1. Install the Applet 2. Delete msvcr71.dll 3. Use your favorite compressor to compress it (7-Zip brings it down to 230 KB) 4. Uncompress it during your unattended install 5. Run this command: regsvr32 /s GamutViewer.dll (Remember to put the full path to the dll file) Here's an AutoIT script to do this silently: #NoTrayIcon AutoItSetOption("ExpandEnvStrings",1) AutoItSetOption("RunErrorsFatal",0) RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'regsvr32 /s "%programfiles%\color control panel\GamutViewer.dll"', "", @SW_HIDE)

No, but I realized that my path variable was screwed up. Thanks

I'm trying to run this on Nvidia 77.77 drivers and this is the result. Any ideas? Setupfile: nv4_disp.inf 'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Error: Class in nv4_disp.inf not found! Press any key to continue . . . Done.

Run dxdiag.exe to see what version of Direct X you have. And no, you shouldn't have to install it.

Try adding this to your script. AutoItSetOption("ExpandEnvStrings",1)

nightly-reboot.bat psshutdown.exe -r -f -c @nightly-reboot.txt nightly-reboot.txt machine1 machine2 machine3 ... Add this batch file to Scheduled Tasks (and use an account that has permissions to reboot/shutdown other computers on the domain.) Also make sure that psshutdown.exe is in the same directory or accessible in the system path.

Use this key [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] Use regedit to change "DllName" = put the path of the msstyles here "ColorName"= and put the name of the color here For example to make it use Luna with the Metallic (Silver) color set "DllName"="%SystemRoot%\Resources\themes\Luna\Luna.msstyles" "ColorName"="Metallic" Once you've changed these then you can export it for easy use

Try looking in this file and see if anything is directed to localhost C:\WINXP\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Is there a way to add, remove, or position active dektop objects?

Exact Audio Copy is better than any of the above entries.

I'd like to block access to all websites except for a specified few (essentially a whitelist) using a Group Policy in Win2003 Small Business Server. Can anyone give me some brief tips on doing this?

I'm using the free version of Zone Alarm. Is there any way to automatically have the program control set to low instead of medium?

After installing SP2 on a couple computers, whenever I start a print job these balloon tips pop up. Is there any way to turn them off? I tried this but it didn't seem to work. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSMBalloonTip"=dword:00000000

This is what I use (and it's always worked for me). Maybe it needs a capital 'S'. REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\software\ABC-win32-v2.6.9.exe /S" /f

I tried it again and it seemed to work ok with this... REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Defraging System Drive" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%windir%\system32\defrag.exe %systemdrive%" /f

I tried it but it didn't seem to work. I'd like to use the windows defrag program. Anyone have any ideas?

Is using system variables like %systemdrive% in AutoIt possible? I tried something like this but it didn't work. Run("%systemdrive%\ABC\abc.exe")

Is there any way to unactivate WinXP? I have an activated pirate version that I need to unactivate and reactivate with a good key.

Read near the end of this thread for my method. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=70&t=29328

In cleanup1.cmd call a registry file which adds cleanup2.cmd to RunOnceEx. If you search the forum there is more info on this.

You need to call another reg file. The numbers have no relation to first and second.

Anyone know an unattended switch for this? Or have any knowledge of command line switches?

Here's the relevant line in RunOnceEx.cmd This calls another file to add more registry keys REG ADD %KEY%\145 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\extracleanup.cmd" /f Heres extracleanup.cmd (Will run after second reboot, after Administrator is fully logged on) cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\selfcleanup.bat" /f EXIT It might be a good idea to not use any numbers that you've used in your first RunOnceEx, I'm not sure though.

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\software\ffdshow-20041003.exe /S" /f This is what I use. It's for the latest build from sourceforge.

My Windows is WinXP SP2, and yes I would like to leave Internet Explorer on the machine but I want to remove all links and references to it. I'll try the components thing and see how it goes.
