Looks like the images come from using the command show image menu.csi in the cdshell.ini file. They will have to be converted to csi from another format, but don't know how yet. I think flyakite shows how on http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com

You probably noticed you were unable to post/reply for the last hour. This was due to some other web software conflicting with the MSFN database and corrupting the tables. It's all fixed now!

Type java -version from the Command Prompt, you should get something like: java version "1.4.2_03"Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)Java HotSpot Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)Check the settings in Java Plug-in (located in Control Panel) and ensure that Internet Explorer is checkboxed in the Browser tab.

What exactly are you trying to do? Paste a copy of your winnt.sif in tags.

Get Java VM 1.4.2 then follow: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/sunjava.htm

It ran my "pause 2" command script, so yes it works. But test it with more entries before putting it in your Unattended XP disc

Moved to Unattended Windows forum

Should work fine, check that you're up-to-date with USB updates beforehand (should be listed in Windows Update's Recommended Updates list)

See the green area? That shouldn't be there, but it doesn't execute so its like a dead entry that does nothing.

Has this happened for long? Your ISP's DNS servers are probably temporarily down. P.S. How did you get here if your DNS is down?

It works, kind of. The second instance of RunOnceEx has a retired entry that never executes. Extract this zip and place it in the apps folder in C:\ or whatever your systemdrive is. Execute RunOnceEx1.cmd (this is what would be launched via cmdlines.txt) This should help to understand it better. example.zip example.zip

The WDs Caviars are very good, got 2 of them here Go for the SATA WD Raptor 74gb if you can

The files on the site are only for SP1, don't attempt to use it for beta builds or other versions. Get the 2096 versions from http://vortex2050.dyndns.org:8080. You might have to hex edit sfc_os.dll though. This isn't worth the bother as this is a beta service pack. Wait for SP2 to go final before making an unattended disc....

Heh, I'm impatiently waiting for it to go public so I can snag a unique email address Welcome to MSFN btw!

You can't share the Internet from the telephone line directly, only from the point where the Modem is connected to. If the modem is connected to one PC, you need to set up Internet Connection Sharing on that PC. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/dsl.htm You will need at least a crossover cable and 2 network cards to link up 2 PCs. For further expansion, its better to get a hub/switch and some straight through CAT5 cable. Get a DSL Hardware Router if you want a stable internet share, ICS can be unreliable sometimes.

Yes

environment variables won't work in .reg files. REG ADD does. REG ADD /? from the Command Prompt

You don't really need a server edition of Windows, it'll still use the same ICS. You can use any of your PCs to act as an ICS host, but using XP should give better results. Unplug your crossover cable linking your XP Home and Pro machines together, then get some standard straight through cat5 cable and connect each PC to the ethernet switch. The switch holds your network together. (you could call it a hub, but a switch is the "better" version of the hub which is able to handle traffic better, but still provides the same function) You should get yourself an ADSL router as this is far better than software-based ICS. The router also connects to the switch, and will automatically give out IPs to your PCs.

Try packaging .net Framework in an iexpress package, you'll save 10mb as well: http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/IEXPRESS/iexpress.htm
