I was about to install VPC 2004 SP1 onto my server (2003) when suddenly it came up with a message telling me that its not supported. Now as it still allows me to install it would this mean that it will run fine but incase of any problems occuring Microsoft will not help? Has anyone had problems doing this or is there another approach to this? Thanks

Sorry i may have not made myself clear. When i log in i hear the MS login music then i have to wait 15-20 seconds before i see the desktop or any other items. Before i joined onto my domain it was instantaneous (i.e. logon music - desktop) but now i want to get rid of the 15-20 seconds delay. Thanks

Im on a domain. When i log into my pc (Not on the domain but on the local pc itself) as an admin it will play music.........15-20 seconds later will display the desktop - anyway around this so i can load the desktop immediately? Thanks

not sure if this is what your looking for http://www.sowsoft.com/computer-lock.htm

I think you have to uninstall internet security from Add/Remove programs first

If i want to go to a website with a .com extension i usually type the name of the site and press CTRL and Enter so typing in warnerbros press CTRL and Enter becomes www.warnerbros.com is there a way for me to add my own extension so if i typed in warnerbros it went to www.warnerbros.CO.UK Thanks

used JV16 since the days it was free and so far no issues (touch wood)

I usually clear All Users programs menu and then add program links manually to certain people/ groups as required and deny access where necessary.

Thanks all - disconnected everything then logged onto the admin account (adminstrator and not the admin account i created) on my server - logged off tried to connect to my domain and gave me the welcome message (at last!!!!!!)

Already done that Tried this too (however when you say using the local admin account do you mean any account that has admin privledges or the adminsrator account itself?) Any more ideas? Thank you

My mate had a similar problem with telewest broadband he resolved it by switching off the "black box" for about a minute and then turning it back on....if that makes sense

When you load your PC press F8 and select "disable automatic restart on system failure". This will allow you to view the error at the blue screen. Once you get that you can either post it here and someone will help you.

Everytime i try and logon to my domain i get the follwoing error: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. Ive checked the computer name etc. I can view my domain from Network places. Ive also logged in and out of the domain (using RDP) and still cant logon to it. What am i doing wrong or what could i do to resolve this? Thank you

Once ive installed the system it automatically waits at the screen waiting for me to logon onto the administrator account - how could i stop this so it gives me the option to create an account? i think its to do with the winnt.sif file so heres mine: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=joijoewjdoijweoidjidojewdoijwedoiwjdoedwioejdowejdoe EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=KEY FullName="Name" OrgName="Org" ComputerName=Name [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=60 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=44 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WG [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

never mind figured it out..................

I slipstreamed my XP disk with SP2. Between the 15-20 minute time remaining display it gives me an error: Windows Cannot load the Internet Configuration Library (ICFGNT.dll) The following error occured The specified module could not be found. I searched the internet and it seems this file is located in an icw.cab or icwcon.cab directory - this doesnt exist on my disk neither does it exist on SP2 or my original XP cd. The only file that exists is ICFGNT5.dll Anyone know how to resolve this error? Thanks

On OEM PCs they store the activation file in the BIOs. Is there any way i could do the same with my BIOs (ASUS A8V Deluxe) so if i ever have to reinstall or upgrade add new hardware it wont require activation? thanks

Im trying to install Win XP on a PC ive self built. When it comes to the point of installing it wont recognise my hard drive. I follwoed the instructions on the previous post similar to this but i think im missing something. I think i have to create an array (Create Array from BIOS) but that option is not highlighted - what could i be doing wrong? Thanks

Im having difficulties in understanding how to use RunOnceEx and creating the target path. I read the following: The address for the program i want to install is C:\WXPO\$OEM$\$1\drivers\000_ChipSetwithin this folder i have an installshield file (setup.exe) that i want to execute so it would install my driver so used RunonceEx with the following command Description Programfile _______________________________________________________ Chipset driver %cdrom%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\000_ChipSet\ (it was %cdrom%\$OEM$\$1\drivers\000_ChipSet\SETUP.exe but for some reason it disappeared) The quote above says Where does these lines go (after changing it to my program)? Do i need to create some file and then save it some where? Do i need to add anything to cmdlines.txt thanks in advance

Ive read up on unattend msfn and have some questions with slipstreaming my disk along with my tweaks 1. Ive deleted svcpack.inf - is this going to be a problem? 2. I need to install IIS BEFORE .Net Framework so at which point does Winnt.sif install IIS for me if im using cmdlines.txt to install the framework (i.e. how can i confirm IIS is installed before the framework) 3. About using RunOnceEx if i use the %cdrom% prefix im assuming this will recognise my CD Rom - could i specify my own directory which would hold my programs? Thanks

I followed the instructions here: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/drivers.htm about installing drivers with my installation of Win XP SP2. One of my drivers is an .exe file and has no .inf file (has to dataCab files but when extracting it tells me that there are no archives). How would you guys recommed installing this driver during the installation? Thanks

I know many who are asked to re-activate Windows and some who are completely locked out and cant get back into Windows (ive been told this is checked against your product key) if you call Microsoft they wont help you either, no matter what excuse you give them..... at this point is when Microsoft call their lawyers and "They will confiscate all of your computer equipment and you will likely spend the night in jail. And that’s just for starters" (joke)
