Thanks psimoon EDIT: It worked a treat, I just used the keygrabber with my WinPE disk

That's true but they could be telling the truth. It will be pretty easy to discover. If they have a VLK then it is most certainly pirated.

I thought it was the other way around - Intel for games, AMD for work

You want it for $40?

Two ways to get it 1) Subscribe to MSDN 2) Be a trusted Beta Tester for Microsoft Plain and simple. I hope in future builds they put some form of tracking in

I will use which ever I get for free from Microsoft for testing Vista. If I dont get a free copy, then too bad, I'll stick with Windows 2000.

I am having trouble with a client's machine at the moment - they claim to have lost their install CD and key and it has just totally murdered Windows XP (cant even boot in safe mode). I have chucked another HDD in, loaded XP to get their documents and the like off the old HDD and was wondering: 1) How do I retrieve their product key? 2) How do I find out what flavour they are running (Home/Pro)? Thanks in advance, C02.

I will look for that. Thanks for the tip I would gather fishing off the screen would not be fun, much like treating the screen like a baseball (I miss my nice monitor )

I have been trying to run some Windows 98 screensavers (specifically, mystery and underwater) on Windows 2000 without success. Is it possible? Also, I tried to use Aquarium out of Plus for XP, but all I get is a "you have not yet accepted the EUAL for Plus for Windows XP". Thanks in adavcne, C02.

Where is the best place to add the registry entries?

Had already tried these with no luck The shutdown command works when I use it in RunOnceEx, but doesnt work from GuiRunOnce

Why would you want to use a beta version when the final version has been out for so long? If it is a server version, try and get a copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server Trial from M$ (I got mine with my MCP materials)l.

Hi all, I am currently using [GuiRunOnce] in WINNT.SIF to place entries into the RunOnceEx part of the registry, add a new user and then reboot (so that RunOnceEx kicks in). The problem I am having is that my restart command (using a batch script, as for some reason I cant call sahutdown -r -t 0 from GuiRunOnce) isn't executed. Windows starts, then on the next startup the RunOnceEx entries are ran. The other issue I have is that I cant get the autologin to persist. It works once, then asks for a username and password every login after that. Here are the relevant sections: WINNT.SIF [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\install.cmd %systemdrive%\install\adduser.cmd %systemdrive%\install\restart.cmd Restart.cmd shutdown -r -t 0 adduser.cmd net user Owner /add net localgroup Administrators Owner /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\autologon.reg EXIT autoloon.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Owner" "AltDefaultUserName"="Owner" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" Thanks in advance, C02.

Thanks for your help tguy. I was after a log that can see why they were disconnected. That log helped with any problems during connection but not if there is a problem after they were authenticated.

Hi, I know what you mean now. Have you looked at the coporate site for downloads? (just choose Windows 2000 SP3 and ignore any post SP4). I have a slipstreamed SP4 but I do not have IE 6 built into that, I install it and it's patches afterwards. Cheers, Cartman
