theUnattender

same here, BUT ONLY, if i use a custom bootscreen, or an old one. if i EDIT the one that comes with SP2, and add my images to it, it works, BUT, the image starts showing fine, then, its colord go nuts, and the moving dots apear. i don't really know what the problem is, the colors change, like when you have a 24 bit bitmap, and save it as a 16 bits one. i tried using 16 and 24 bits bitmaps and the same thing happens. what should i do ? same problem here .. (on vmware though) as mentioned earlier in this thread maybe it has to do something with hyperthreading

a script for autoit itself [b]AutoIt V3[/b] *edit* removed

hell guys, i love this tool took me just a little of time to know how it works so here is my contribution not as sophisticated as NoLogic's but it works [b]VIDEO LAN Client 0.7.2[/b] *EDIT* read, understood & changed

*aaaaaaaaargh* this quicklaunch problem is driving me crazy as posted earlier in this thread I am using the unattended.txt to call the reg file at the T12 stage.

well after setup finishes and windows starts for the first time, setup wants to logon using the administrator account. 1) I want that the user is logged on which I created through the useradd.cmd at the T-12 stage 2) Later when rebooting windows still doesn't automatically log in with the 1 account I created (i know of the auto-logon option in TweakUI); isn't windows supposed to auto login if there is only one user account ?? any ideas ? thx

thx for the heads up i will try it with default user

hi fellow unattenders i managed to create my first unattended install with SP2 and tweaks and such but: under documents and settings i have 3 directories: All Users Tom Tom.WHOA whereas Tom is my Username created by the user add batch and Whoa is the comp name. Tom.WHOA has the contents of the directory I was expecting in the Tom dir. (Cookies, Favourites, Local Settings, StartMenu, ....) The content of the dir Tom is only the testfile I inserted in the $OEM$/$DOCS/Tom/Testfile.txt anything I did wrong ? how can I "merge" the contents of these 2 dirs ? 1) only 1 dir where my preinstallation content of the user dir will be put 2) without the .computername thx 4 help
