I'm working on an unattended install of Windows XP. I know that I can just copy the folders of Foobar and Maxthon during the install (I have them in the $Progs folder of the $OEM$ folder). This seems to work great. Except, that Maxthon does not show the pages/tabs that were left open when closed, and foobar doesn't contimue playing where it left off when closed. The only way I know of to fix these problems is to manually install these programs. But that defeats the purpose of unattended.... What other methods can I use that will fix this problem. Can I use a VB script or something that mimicks the keyboard sequence of keys to install the program through the installer? (sorry if that doesn't make sense, I can't think of a better way to word it). Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, GAT -------------- Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.

Anyone know of a way to do this?

Is there a way to automatically (during unattended installation) to automatically add new keyboard layouts? I'm wanting to add specifically the English (United States) United States-Dvorak and the Spanish (Mexico) United States-International layouts. I would also prefer that language bar be turned off. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, GAT

After competing a burn onto a CD and installing onto my second computer, everything seems to work perfectly as it should, including power saving options. Again, it must be something about Virtual PC that didn't want anything to do with power saving option on the virtual OS. Hope this helps someone in the future... GAT

I did a regular install of WinXP without any Slipstreaming or unattended stuff or anything (again this is all in Virutal PC 2004) and I still did not have power saving options. I'm assuming at this point that it must be a cause of Virtual PC. I'm going to try my slipstream and unattend stuff later on a second computer I have and see what comes of that. GAT

I have successfullly slipstreamed and installed that only. No extra unattended stuff or anything. I do not have my power saving options. For some reason, it *seems* that a slip-streamed version of XP doesn't have this (?). Or is it contained elsewhere (other than the screen savers tab of the display properties) or do I need to set a setting in the registry or elsewhere to enable this? thanks, GAT

I have not added any device drivers, nor have I delelted the drivers already packaged with WinXP. Information I forgot to include in the first post is I am using a slipstreamed (with SP2) of XP Pro. I don't know if that will make a difference or not. I am currently using the latest nLite to do all of the necessary work for creating an ISO and testing it in Virtual PC. I'll report how it turns out. Thanks, GAT

I've noticed that when I do an unattended install of Windows, everything seems to work just fine, except I don't have any power saving options. I like to have my monitor turn "off" after 20 or 30 minutes. I also use the Suspend mode nearly every night (so I can turn my fans down without worrying about overheating). Is there something I need to make sure I don't unintentionally disable or delete that controls this? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks, GAT

How do I import my settings through an automated install of Windows? Thanks, GAT
