program?

_OEM_ will not work You need to maintain the $'s, if Roxio won't let you, then best way forward is not to use Roxio.

Boardbabe's suggestion creates a new user in the administrator usergroup, this is by far the easiest method.

I use UltraISO which has a optimize option when you go to save the ISO, although I haven't used that option as far as I know it is intended to reduce the filesize somehow. another alternative is CDIMAGE, I've seen this mentioned a few times although never used it myself, same purpose though. ..somewhere to start anyway.. good luck ;o)

sounds complicated, but easy really. usage: psservice [\\computer [-u username] [-p password]] <command> <options> Make a batch file with the command string in it and have it in the same folder as the psservice.exe file. Then use the batch file to issue the command. The psservice is more used for networked PC's, if you just want to use it on the machine your working on, forget about the computer/user/password as if you leave all that out, it will take effect on the PC you run it from (I think that's what you need) this command in a batch file would stop the W32Time service (keeps clock up to date): psservice stop W32Time

try these: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsService.html http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/Articl...4872/14872.html you should be able to use these in a batch file if you need them unattended. Hope they help ;o)

Have you checked your error logs? ..right click my comp -> manage -> event viewer

search option might be a good place to start.... *TIP* Look for Unattended CD/DVD Guide on every page on this forum.

I certainly think it's got potential, I have used WPI for a while and found that sometimes it is slow when moving to the config and back again, this should make things a bit quicker. Nice work ;o)

it's my understanding that you can run wireless devices without a wireless hub/acces spoint in what's called 'ad hoc' mode. Weather you can share an internet connection like this I am unsure. ..here a good google link.... seems possible ;o) http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=int...ad+hoc%22&meta=

I've had no significant problems with mine. A little on the noisy side but never had any blue screens or anything as a result of over heating, I generally do alot of video encoding overnight too. I have considered buying a better one but my only reason so far was the noise it puts out. Thanks for the heads up anyway

I'm running a 3ghz P4, using the bundled intel heatsink and fan. I can't advise of my temp as I'm at work at the moment, I can tell you it'll be quite warm though as my "box" (which isn't quite a box) has a perspex lid and not many ventilation holes.

that should do it

I don't think this is possible as in my experience and understanding, the first point you can run a batch file is just as the GUI portion of the setup is starting. You could use some other sort of boot disk which has NTFS support (if needed) and run a batch like that before you go for the main setup. Going back over your post though, I'm now asking why you want to achieve this.. eg.. --> Documents and Settings In the past I have took a hard disk from a XP based pc and put it in another XP machine to retrieve data from a users profile, I was hindered by XP's security, because I wasn't the user who's files I was trying to access, the security wouldn't let me in to them. This would probably be the same for you. --> Windows Well, if your Windows isn't working you don't need to keep the windows folder as that version doesn't work anyway --> Program Files When you install programs, they hold registry settings etc etc which will not be there on a clean install, this means you would have to sit and install those programs again, so there's no point in keeping the installed versions.

you can move the selection to buttons, fields etc by using TAB when the window is active. ..if your looking to physically move the mouse cursor, I think AutoIt (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3) might be of some use, particulary the MouseMove command.

..some more info I just found.. changing xp wallpaper using registry is done in the following key.. HKEY USERS\ .DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop edit the wallpaper value, and type in the full path of your image and the filename ..so from this I recon if your compitent with AutoIt, you should have enough to make a script to change the wallpaper depending on CPU. ..question is, when do you want to implement this? during setup, or afterwards?

I'm a user of AutoIt myself, I use the following code in a script I made to itentify the CPU type (WinXP): $cputype = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0", "ProcessorNameString") if you encorporate that with IF statements or something similar, that will do the trick.. If you want the CPU speed btw, use this one... $cpuspeed = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0", "~MHz")

it would seem to me that the safe mode option was purposefuly put there during the firefox install, this isn't really a problem, it's meant to happen - and could be useful if firefox doesn't start for some reason. How you installed it is irrelevant, I suspect if you install it manually you'll end up with the same result. ..and removing, why not just use a cmd/bat file to delete the .lnk? you can call the bat/cmd after running the exe and it will automatically delete the .lnk/.

have you tried going into the options and changing the resolution option to 'By System (default)' ?

I am in the process of making a menu using WPI to install quite a few apps unattended (currently 139) I have tested the whole running twice now and on both occasions it has stopped around the same place, going alpabetically, it stops around the time when it reaches apps starting with S. Is there any limits as to how many apps can be run in the menu, or in RunOnceExe or where-ever? I can't be too sure yet, but it seems to me that it may be installing 100 programs and then stopping.. I have included my config.js for reference, any help appreciated config.js

phew, that's a bit of a nightmare, lol. I have added a loop to the menu.cmd, near the top I wrote :MENU, on any void choices, the loop works, then in choice parameters, I use goto Gamex and each game has it's repective :Gamex area where I use the call gamex.cmd command.

ok, why's that though? not that I doubt your advice, but obviously I have more to learn, lol. and.. am I right in thinking the call cmd in the gamex.cmd file doesn't need to be there? I'm not sure I following your advice properly in post #4, the way I'm interpreting is that when game.cmd is lcalled from menu.cmd, game.cmd will run and when finished, goes back and finishes menu.cmd - is that right?

hmm, well, I know the command which are executed depending on choice is just a basic call gamex.cmd command. I get the impression this is wrong though. am I on the right track with thst start /wait thing though? should that pause the batch until the task (emu) has finished (or closed)..
