Mine works fine, Philips ToUcam Pro.. dunno about usb2 tho, its old so probably not.. maybe thats the problem, usb2 that is?

@bmn You sure this works? I just tried it out on 1.0pr and i got the same error as i described earlier (-208 INVALID_ARGUMENT(S)) when it got to installing CuteMenus 0.4 I used the Auto switch in the config.ini instead of Silent.

This is practicly the same thing, just the otherway around, im having a long wait while trying to shutdown. I press shutdown and windows closes one program in my taskbar (ATi-icon, next to the clock) and then it just sits there for a minute and then continues the shutdown as if nothing had happened. I cant start any program at that point, says windows is shutting down. Is there anyway to log the shutdown procedure, like what processes and services are ended etc?

Ive been trying to add an extension via the installers config.ini for the past 3 hours with no luck. My conclusion is that every extension's install.js would need to be edited. Alot. And quite frankly, i dont know how to do so. Ive tried editing one extension to get it to work, but all i got was an invalid_argument error (code -208). So if you really want extensions, go with Step 2 on the first post @SiMoNsAyS Have you tried this tool before? -> http://home.comcast.net/~ifrit/FFDeploy.html im currently running it, but it seems to hang when building the exe, 100% cpu aswell...

@ic0dk0c00 Ill have a look into adding extensions into the config in the morning. Until then, hang tight on step 2 in the first post

Yepp ive seen it, even read through ALL 98 pages of part 1 And yes again, it might just be easier doing it that way but i think the ntuser way is more professional and easier to handle, all you have to do is edit the default user and if you want to try it out then and there, create a new user account. Its a matter of preference, thats all HKLM tweaks wouldnt work with the ntuser guide no, but i add them in cmdlines.txt since they are used as default values for new users aswell. (my theory is to add the HKCU tweaks in HKLM, but i havent dared to try it yet heh) Still, its a matter of preference, i was just pointing out another way to handle the problem

Heres a great guide on how to apply reg tweaks to every new user by default http://www.dazdezines.com/simplify-it/Guides/guide1.htm in short, you load default user\ntuser.dat into regedit, and from there add all the HKCU/HKU tweaks into it (HKU\CUSTOM) and unload, and there you have a custom ntuser.dat! Place it in $oem$\$docs\default user and it will be copied to the right place automaticly Maybe should add that to the guide? Might already be, havent read it in a while, heh

Ah, ok, good Oh yeaah, i wasnt thinking about size heh anyway, its a driver pack not an app pack. At least other ppl know about them now.

No, i think you're getting it pretty right. I did this to 1.0PR but i used the setup.exe from the attachment (FirefoxSilent.zip), not 0.9.3 install file. Heres a link to that attachment: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=At...=post&id=179381 In it is a setup.exe, use that one The only problem now is that it doesnt start after youve done the import favorites wizard, and that you have to copy a shortcut to the quicklaunch bar (if youre using that option ofc) either yourself or have it done by xcopy somewhere along the installation.

Maybe you know of this already, i havent read all 23pages When trying to install the applications (eaxconsole, speaker calibration/settings, surround mixer and AudioHQ) for my Audigy2 Platinum i got an error saying PlxCore.plx was missing, i didnt think it was anything important since i got sound anyway, but it was so that every controlpanel didnt work, so i checked through my creative cd cabs and found the CTEngine. Im installing the engine before any of the apps i mentioned and everything seems to work. Also, just fyi, the apps are able to run on their own .iss files.

Hm, ok. what about changing the dialogs you disabled back to TRUE and try it?

So you guys are talking about customizing teh looks of Windows eh? Here's a challenge for you: Find out a way to set the default window size of My Computer/Explorer. Ive been trying all day yesterday and all day today to get a registry tweak working, but to no avail. Heres a small hint, the window size is set in the numbered keys at this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags It's the WinPos1280x1024(1).bottom and WinPos1280x1024(1).right i want to be set at a different value. Since i havent found a way in the registry im thinking its set in the explorer.exe, and since you guys are working on resource hacking some files, i thought you guys would know or have a look in it. Thanks in advance, David

Did you read my post? If so you missed the Hold on! part near the bottom:

Read my bottom line in my guide, you still need the setup.exe from the first page attachment in this thread. Using firefox's setup.exe the same thing happens to me, it just hangs after i press next.

V5 and 6 sure were getting that way. v7 imho isn't. It's as fast as 2.44 on my PC making thumnails and viewing my 5mb JPEGs, and has a TON more features. 2.44 misses so much features for the average photog that it's not even an option anymore, even if it's faster than v5/6. v7 rocks (If you just use it for quickly viewing pr0n, I suppose 2.44 is okay ) Agreed up to 99%!! the last 1% is the ugly nasty greyscale theme for the menus they got, hideous if you use the Light option

Please let us know when you figure them out

glad i could help a little! Any questions, just ask.

Right Heres my little guide to doing it, ill try to be short Some line skipping and i did this on 1.0PR Edit: Oh yeah, i forgot to say that i fixed the FF opening part, its in this guide at the bottom Hold on part. Edit again: Added windows integration (Shortcuts) Edit 4th oct: Ive noticed that after first run wizard (import favorites etc) ff doesnt start automaticly, to lazy to check it out now, might be something with the lines 742-759. Open the config.ini Go to line 9 Change from Run Mode=Normal too Run Mode=Silent On line 29 you can change where to install FireFox If you dont want ADT (Ablah Developer Tools) go past this part: Now if you want ADT make sure you do this: On the line 84 change Default Setup Type=Setup Type 0 too Default Setup Type=Setup Type 1 and then go down to line 544 and change this: Attributes=FORCE_UPGRADE|VISIBLE too this: Attributes=SELECTED|FORCE_UPGRADE|VISIBLE Keep the rest intact on that line!! Now everyone, continue here: On the lines 288-301 you can change where you want FF icons to be. Just change the appropriate CheckBoxState=TRUE according to the description under to either FALSE or TRUE (duh? but the quicklaunch doesnt work for some reason, im installing FF from RunOnceEx) Go up/down to the line number 392 and edit this: Launch App Checked=TRUE to this: Launch App Checked=FALSE Hold on! Were not done yet. This is the important part! Go further down to the lines 742-759 and either comment it out with ; (which i did) or delete them (which i havent tested) Now were done, i hope i havent missed anything, if so tell me and ill have a look. Run it with the setup you downloaded in the first post and all should be good.

Great guide! One note tho. As i opened the config.ini i read in the first few lines that you could change runmode to silent. I just tried this and it worked fine until it opened FF as the default setting is, dunno either if Developer tools were installed. Ah, just found what to change to install DevTools and for it not to open FF at the end. But it opens up anyway.. hmm... Drop a line if you want to know more

I have used the search to no avail. The msn popup "MSN is still running bla bla bla...." when closing/minimizing msn for the first time, is slowing down my shutdowns/logoffs with at least a minute(!) Very irritating if i may say so. So now my question is: how do i get rid of it using the registry?! I tried regshot but didnt find any difference Thanks in advance, David

Thats one way of doing it, another is to run the Setup.exe in the wxp-CATALYST-CONTROL-CENTER-17633C directory with the -R switch. The iss file can then be found as usual in the windows directory. Then just do the -s switch and its silent and no reboot. On a side note, the combined driver/wdm/ccc setup file wasnt working to well with my card, XP didnt find it at all so i got 4bits of color and 640x480 lovely resolution. So everyone out there with ATi cards, stick with the driver only and if you want the ccc aswell, download that seperately.

I dont know if this has been posted before. But if you turn off the Rollback feature of msi installs you are not able to install .NET 1.1 SP1 (the slipstreamed version by RyanVM) And i also figured out how to set a custom theme: Load your theme Logoff and logon again Export these two keys from the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] (Be sure you have the right code or whatever it is (mine is: S-1-5-21-1801674531-1343024091-2147089337-500) [HKEY_USERS\<custom!!!!!!>\Control Panel\Colors\] And there you have it

same problem here aswell, but only in virtual pc, it works fine when used IRL, so get a DVD-RW and try it out anyway

On the custom shell settings and the custum(e) visual settings, could you explain a bit more what each setting does exactly or refer to the setting in windows please? Also, the hkey_current_user only applies to the user logged in, not all, right? So if i just replace all of them with the hkey_local_machine it would apply to all users, not just the user thats currently logged in?
