you could use a program like autoit, or something similar that would watch your machine as you install a program (or game), and then take a snapshot of the changes made to your system, and build an installer for you.
then you run it on your uA CD and it will install the game silently

runonce will be processed when the cmdlines.txt is processed... appx the t-12 mark. Once setup reboots, upon login the programs scheduled to run will run... i.e. office will be installed.

this way works for me:
save the cool looking nero icon into a folder in your SFX... in the archive options, it allows you to swap in a different icon. just select the one you saved and you're all set

If you limited PowerDVD, but did not tell WMP anything, then you would probably have some files that are unassociated, so I would say use the reg tweaks to add associations to WMP

%systemdrive% refers to whatever drive Windows is installing on.

that walkthrough is for the SIl 3112 SATA chipset, however the same thing applies for whatever chipset. just follow the walkthrough after reading the notes at the bottom.

diskeeper has definetly been talked about... you have to run the exe, and in your temp directory will be a randomly numbered .MSI file. you can then use the /qb, or /qn
as for itunes, i'm not sure

Let me make sure I understand.
When that part of your batch file is run, you actually see
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="unattended.mst" /qb-
if you do, make sure you do not have an ECHO statement before that.
If not, post your cmd file (removing product keys and such if they exist), and maybe we can figure it out.

in the unattended office guide, I think that too many people get confused where at the end you have the path to your .MST file. The text surrounding that section seems to be a little misleading perhaps?
some uninitiated unattenders
seem to think that the absolute path to the MST must be changed in the ORK, when in fact it only has to be changed in your command call.maybe changing the text to refect that, and possibly show an example code of the correct way to call the file would make it easier to understand?

here's a link to the most recent post regarding this confusion

basically what is happening in the installation of Office 2k3, is that you run setup, and call the unattended.mst file. When you copy the office to your hard drive under C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Office2003, that path does not exist when you actually run the setup file during Windows setup.
What your code should look like is as follows:
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="unattended.mst" /qb-
you're not going to be able to change it in the office resource kit, because you don't need to. The ORK just provides that assuming you will be running the install during normal windows operation, when the path to the MST is valid.

i agree w/ those above... the hauppage are the best cards.

could always search your computer for *.txt. it will bring a lot of results, but the file will be there somewhere

the ad-aware was discussed in a thread not too long ago... what you have to do is get PSKill.exe (google it) and put it wherever you want (for me, it is in the same location as my cmd file) and add the following commands to your batch right after the install is completed. This is from my batch:
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\applications\lavasoft\aawsepro105.exe /S
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\pskill.exe hh.exe
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\pskill.exe ad-aware.exethat will stop the scan and the program from running once the install is complete
hope that helps

i'd tend to agree.... do you have any other motherboards that you could test that P4 in? That would eliminate either the CPU or the mobo from your variables list.
I wouldn't bet neccessarily on the northbridge chipset overheating. It is typically going to be warmer than the CPU, regardless of the presence of a fan.
Outside of testing the components individually with known working stuff, there's not a whole lot you're going to be able to do.
good luck

That all depends on whether or not your router can support bandwidth throttling... if not, you may be stuck, or you could ask your neighbor to turn down the max upload speed if that is an option (sorry, never used bittorent before), or limit the simultaneous number of uploads.

another option is to open the file and see if it opens in something like media player or something like that... if it does, you should then be able to save the file, either by File -> Save, or File -> Save As

You can call other pages and such in flash, but there is nothing to my knowledge that will allow you to automatically redirect. The only way I know of how to do that is to do it as TomcaT said and put the tag in the html page. The other way is to have something in the flash that the user can click to enter.
BTW, how are you able to punch in your address and immediately call a flash doc that isn't embedded? I wasn't aware of such an ability. A .swf shouldn't be recognized as a valid index page. Generally swf's are alwasy embedded in some kind of html so they can have control over the size of the flash window, etc..
good luck

as i'm sure you're aware of, most of the nvidia cards have a tv-out, but i am not aware of a single nvidia card that does any sort of TV tuning... if you're looking for an all-in-one approach, it looks like ATI is going to be you're only option.
Obviously there are external tuners if you didn't go the AIO approach

using firefox preview release on 3 computers. from time to time, on my main machine, the firefox window will start to shake vertically. Once it happened right after an ff install. Other times it would work for a while, then start this problem. I've tried uninstalling firefox, w no sucess. The only way I was able to fix it was to re-install windows. I don't want to do that to my main machine since I run games and such, I'd rather not have to reinstall everything.
The specs are as follows:
athlon64 3000
asus k8n-e
ati aiw 9800pro
the only thing I can point to is the radeon because i recently changed the motherboard, cpu and hd. my other systems have never experienced this problem.
anyone else run into this problem before? i'm using the catylyst control center that uses .net. I have thought about reverting to an old driver version, but i'm wary of screwing everything up by doing that.
what do you guys think?
thanks

there must be a way to somehow point to the USB flash drive files, no?
i.e. back before CD-ROMs were bootable devices, a floppy would load first, and point to the cd-rom to boot from.
Wouldn't that work in this case? make one CD that points to the USB device to boot from. I wouldn't think a file system would stop the booting then.
what do you guys think?

short answer: well, not really.
long answer:
no changes have been made to your system yet, i.e. your computer registry information hasn't been updated with the program key, because the program hasn't been installed.
once setup has all of the parameters in place (i.e. install key, installation location, list of components to install), it will start copying the files. Once the install is complete, the auto install programs will note the changes that were made.
unfortunately because changes aren't made until the install is complete, you can't only get some of the information into your auto install program
