I'll Try disabling my nVidia NIC in the bios tomarrow (at a LAN party right now ). I'll post what I find then.

I'll post my Hardware ID's when I get home for work tonight. As for the storage controllers, I believe it is the nVidia one's (there are 4 SATA connectors, and 2 Raid connectors). I connect to two of the 4 SATA connectors, the one's that aren't RAID.

Created a new DVD with the latest DriverPacks (all of them as of Yesterday), and the Initial install of Windows goes fine (copying Windows to the C Drive). The T-39 install of Windows goes fine (the actual install of windows), then when Windows reboots, I see the splash screen for a second, and then get the blue screen with a Stop error 0xf78a2524 (0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). I tried going in safe mode, and get the same error after mup.sys is shown. My system has the following components: Abit AN8-SLI motherboard (NForce4) XFX Geforce7800GT Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic 2 gigs of Ram 2 WD Raptor SATA Drives Nothing is overclocked, and everything works fine on the older 5.07 builds. I have tried all the builds of the 6.02.X (2, 3, and now 4) version of the DriverPacks, and get the same exact error. I've also removed the X-Fi from the system, to see if maybe that was causing the errors, but no luck there either. Anyone else encountering this?

Need some further assistance with YAWI (which by the way, works great with Runonceex.cmd). I have Norton Antivirus installed using Runonceex.cmd with the following commands... REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV9\SAV9.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\061 /VE /D "Norton Antivirus Corp v9" /f REG ADD %KEY%\061 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV9\SAV.msi /QB-! RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=REALLYSUPRESS" /f REG ADD %KEY%\062 /VE /D "Norton Antivirus Live Update fix v2.7.38" /f REG ADD %KEY%\062 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV9\lusetup.exe -q" /f Basically the above code does the following: 1. SAV9.exe is a RAR archive that extracts all the NAV software to "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV9. 2. SAV.msi is the actual installer 3. lusetup.exe is the live update fix that need to be applied after NAV is installed. In YAWI I tried doing this, but it doesn't seem to work (only extracts the software, but line 2 and 3 don't seem to be run at all. Any suggestions? SAV9\SAV9.exe;;X;Norton Antivirus Corp. v9 w/Jan 06 Definitions SAV9\SAV.msi;/QB-! RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=REALLYSUPRESS SAV9\lusetup.exe;-q

Thanks Gramiche, I'll try that tonight. One more question for ya. Is there a way to run Taskkill from YAWI? For example, If I installed iTunes.msi, and wanted to kill the iTunes.exe process from running after the msi is done installing the application. There are a few programs I do this too in my Runonceex.cmd, but not sure how to do in using YAWI.

to add this 3 registry entries when you install iTune, you write in the yawi.ini : iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe;;X;iTunes v6.0.2.23 REG;ADD HKLM\093 /VE /D "iTunes v6.0.2.23" /f REG;ADD HKLM\093 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe" /f REG;ADD HKLM\093 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg" /f In the yawi window, only 1 line will appear with "iTunes v6.0.2.23" selected. you cannot use variable in yawi (like %KEY%) so you need to replace %KEY% with the complete value Wow, ok, I think I'm even more lost. Basically the info I gave you was from my Runonceex.cmd. The Actual registry file that I install is... %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg So how would I install the Itunes.reg file, using YAWI?

Kinda lost on the Registry adding part. How would I go from this... REG ADD %KEY%\093 /VE /D "iTunes v6.0.2.23" /f REG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg" /f To this... iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe;;X;iTunes v6.0.2.23 ???Not really sure about this Registry entry???

Couple more questions for ya... 1. Do all the Programes have to be in the same folder to install? It looks that way, so I guess my real question is there a way to have each piece of software install from a different folder. 2. Are .msi files handled the same way as .exe files? 3. What about Registry Key entries (especially when using Runonceex.cmd). For example this how I install iTunes using Runonceex.cmd... REG ADD %KEY%\093 /VE /D "iTunes v6.0.2.23" /f REG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\iTunes6.0.2.23.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\093 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\iTunes\Itunes.reg" /f Notice the last line adds some registry settings. Can you do the same with Launcher? So just to give yo some info, I intend to run this program from within Runonceex.cmd. That way I have a choice of what software I may want installed at that time.

This seems to be an easy program, but doesn't have a lot of info associated with it. So here are my questions: 1. When is this program run? During Runonceex.cmd, or cmdline.txt? 2. Is each program given time to run before moving on to the next (so it has time to finish), or is the timer set for the whole list?

The reason for A and B packs is simple (and stated on Bashrats website is a few areas). Basically, the A packs are for the Current "Most Used" drivers. The easiest example is the Graphic Driver Packs. Pack "A" is for Nvidia and ATI drivers (which get updates quite often). The "B" pack is for all the other Graphic Drivers out there (Intel, S3, etc) which almost never get updates. So why not have a single pack you ask? The answer is that it saves Bashrat lots of Bandwidth in downloads.

So has anyone using the latest Driver Packs, actually gotten the Creative X-Fi Drivers to work once you have your Unattended installed? I've used the latest Driverpacks (6.01) that contain the latest official Creative Drivers for the X-Fi (2.07.004) and still get the Yellow Exclamation symbol in Device Manager (this on two different systems, one an ASUS A8NSLI - Premium, the other an Abit AN8-SLI). Once in Windows, if I reinstall the same driver (2.07.004), the system reboots, and then the sound works. I'm asking, cause basically, if these don't work Unattended, there is no point for Bashrat to include them in his packs.

There was another thread about this awhile ago, asking if the Drivers folder could be put under the Windows Folder, so in your case it would be... C:\Windows\Drivers Not sure if Bashrat has looked into this or not though.

Still kinda new to all this Spyware/Adware/Blocking stuff, but which ways are better than a host file for blocking ads and popups? I use a combination of several items in my unattended, including Boardbabes reg file, the host file I listed, some ActiveX blocking reg entries, Spyware Blaster, and the popup blocker on Yahoo's toolbar. If you have something better, stronger, faster than a host file (and some of the other stuff I have listed), please share it...as I know there are some slowdowns with the hostfile I use because of its size.

Ok, noticed some differences between adding your Reg file, and using the Host file that I listed above. 1. On some sites I visit, there is a brief popup, that then disappears using just your Reg file. If I use the host file, I don't even get the popup at all. 2. Ads are still visible on many of the webpages I go to. Not sure if your Reg file was designed to remove ads from websites or not, but it appears it doesn't. Some examples of webpages that I go to, in which Popups come up, and ads are shown, using just your Reg file. Again, if I use the Hosts file, these websites don't show any ads or popups at all. http://www.bluesnews.com/ http://www.warp2search.net/ http://www.winbeta.org/
