thanks

There's a patch on Windows Update that resolves this issue

Very nucleartastic

It's only real.... when I've got it! you pendant you...

The new drive hasn't been formatted. Unallocated space on the hard drive doesn't show up in My Computer, so you will need to format to put a filesystem on. Go to Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management to do this EDIT: Although you say its formatted, but its worth trying out the above anyway.

Have a look in Task Manager (CTRL +SHIFT + ESC) and look for a process called msnmsgr.exe, is it there? Closing this should stop your contacts messaging you.

I think Gamma is more suited for the Navy and Air Force

Get ASP Web Matrix, its free from MS and built for creating ASP pages, it also doubles up as a Web Design app too.

I never looked at Visual Studio .NET as a WYSIWYG editor, but more of an app that can create applications. Probably why it left you stumped when it couldn't create a webpage. Yeah, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is excellent

Ok, i did it right then. I placed the drivers in the $OEM$ folder under $1 and pointed the OemPnPDriversPath to nvidia\nv4_dsp.inf. Sunil Don't make the path directly to the INF file, just the folder where the inf file is contained. That would be OemPnPDriversPath="nvidia" instead. Make sure all the folder and files for the required graphics drivers are in there as well!

I have this hotfix installed as well and haven't come across any issues (yet!). For now you should uninstall this hotfix from Add/Remove if you are unable to browse. And to answer your question, this hotfix has no relation to Internet Explorer, it fixes a security flaw in the Windows shell and folder shares (updates Shell32.dll)

Has to be a folder inside $1, call it anything you like, Drivers, MyDrivers etc. Make sure winnt.sif knows the path to the folder name you've choosen, for example: OemPnPDriversPath="MyDrivers\NVIDIA\blahblah"

Does nvidia's setup use Installshield? Did you create a iss file beforehand? btw, its only the ATI Control Panel that's installed like that, they're not drivers though. Silent installs of drivers are probably tricky to do. I will download the nvidia drivers and see what I can find.

You won't need to silently install them when using the method in my last post. The way it works is when Seup does the Installing Drivers part, if it find better drivers in the folder specified in the winnt.sif file it will use those instead of the drivers bundled with Windows XP. I haven't used nVidia drivers before, but see if the drivers you downloaded can be extracted. If you see a folder containing the INF file(s) then place that path into the winnt.sif file. Good luck!

No, they're Windows Icons. Good work Rolando, I like 'em!

I'm out of ideas, but as a last resort you could set up an FTP Server (Microsofts, Bulletproof, or Serv-U). The other computers would only need the shortcut such as: ftp://username:password@computername:21 and will not prompt for the password that way. This can also be added as a Network Place in My Network Places instead of a shortcut too.

Its Windows Server, so it has the extra security, and prompts for your password. But try having the same account and password on both machines

Try this suggestion from EvilSeph: http://www.MSFN.org/board/index.php?act=ST...iew=getlastpost

Extract the Catalyst 3.6 drivers to a folder, something like this: C:\XPCD\$oem$\$1\Drivers\ATI\Catalyst3_6\ Open up Winnt.sif and add these two lines under the [unattended] section: DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\ATI\Catalyst3_6\2KXP_INF" As you can see, the last folder in its path "2KXP_INF" is where the INF files are stored that are required to install the driver. You need to do this for every driver you plan to install. Seperate other folder paths with a semi-colon ( e.g: OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\ATI\Catalyst3_6\2KXP_INF;Drivers\Realtek\NIC;Drivers\VIA4in1\" -------------- ATI's control panel's setup uses Installshield so you need to create an ISS file. Create it by using: Setup.exe -R (You will need to extract the Control Panel Setup package to a folder first) You will have normal setup screens, but make your decisions carefully, ensuring you don't choose to reboot. All your actions get recorded to the ISS file placed in C:\Windows\ or C:\WINNT. Take out the setup.iss file in there and place it in the same folder with your ATI Control Panel setup files. Now to install them silently, use: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\ATI_CP_3_6\Setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\install\Applications\ATI_CP_3_6\setup.iss" notice the -f1 switch that tells it to use the setup.iss file that you created? I've uploaded my own setup.iss for the ATI Control Panel drivers to save you the work, but I'm unsure how this would work for other people's systems, i.e. installing windows on a drive other than C:\. Here's the file

Innapropriate image :/ shouldnt post that out It isn't pornography.
