ello all, I am using the search feature but not having any luck so far so asking about Wise installer programs, how can I stop the automatic restarting..? The reference page this site links to here doesnt have about stopping a restart, any information would be greatly appreciated. Andy

So you found this thread and decided to post anyhow..? /gigglesticks

Expect a PM..! lol

Yep cheers, am about to start reading over the page you linked to, thankyou very much.

kk during a pupils logon I would like it to set the keyboard power and sleep keys to "do nothing" so the machines cant be turned off by the keyboard and also if possible a way of selecting a certian sound device in "Sounds and Audio Devices" "Sound Playback"'s default device. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly welcomed Andy

kk will do, thankyou

Yeah but it doesnt seem to save the settings once the next person logs in, Im trying to find a way to set this during boot.

aawwww, kk

Anyone have any ideas on how/where to make the... Start> Settings> Control Panel> Power Option ...Power & Sleep keys do "Do nothing" cos we've got a batch of motherboards and the kids have worked out that if they press power or sleep they turn off but dont come back on so they get to do no work. Anywhere in the registry or something like that..? Any advice/info welcome Thankyou Andy

*BUMP*

This didnt seem to fit into a topic on its own, Windows seemed the best plae to ask... Start> Settings> Control Panel> Sounds and Audio Devices Properties Under the "Audio" tab theres a default device selection, any ideas on how to set this..? Every time a user logs in its set at the wrong one and theres no sound, if I (Or any other admin/teacher.) logs in then changes it to the right device the pupil can then log on and its fine. Any ideas on some script on boot/logon that can specify which device to use for Sound Playback and Sound Recording..? Thankyou very much Andy Baines

I finally resorted to AutoIt for this one, hehehe... ; --- Start --- Run("setup.exe") Sleep(10000) WinWaitActive("NTI CD & DVD-Maker Gold Setup") Sleep(500) Send("!n") WinWaitActive("NTI CD & DVD-Maker Gold Setup") Sleep(500) Send("!y") WinWaitActive("NTI CD & DVD-Maker Gold Setup") Sleep(500) Send("!n") WinWaitActive("NTI CD & DVD-Maker Gold Setup") Sleep(500) Send("!n") WinWaitActive("NTI CD & DVD-Maker Gold Setup") Sleep(10000) Send("!y") WinWaitActive("NTI CD & DVD-Maker Gold Setup") Sleep(10000) Send("!y") Sleep(50000) Send("{DOWN}") Sleep(500) Send("{ENTER}") ; --- End --- This does the job fine for all the laptops at this school/college (Some are older hence the really long pause in there.) hope this helps you too muiz. Obviously if your NTI version is a lil different you'll have to change it a tad here and there.

It has both an InstallShield and an MSI installation file in the folder, trying to run either with an unattended installtion switches results it it not being install, anyone got any ideas/suggestions..?

Anyone had any luck with a silent install of NTI CD Maker, it has both InstallShield (.iss) and an MSI install file. Trying to search the board only throws up an error that NTI and Cd are both too small to search for and browsing every thread that has "maker" in it was taking ages. Any advice is uch appreciated. Andy

kk, Ive loved this site and everything to do with it, found it amazingly helpful informative and have been totally impressed with the outcome. (I was a total newb when registering, didnt even know such scripts were built into the setups etc.) Heres the situation, I have 4 different computers and 2 laptops. Desktop 1 : Main Gamming PC Desktop 2 : Second Gamming PC Desktop 3 : Maily Office Use etc Desktop 4 : Basically Storage Server (On 24/7) Laptop 1 : Main Work Laptop 2 : Fathers (Only Family Tree/Office Stuff) kk, now the games with regards to updates and stuff I dont mind doing manually etc, but when it comes to Office and the rest of the long line of utils/apps that are basically a must theres take a while to copy to the HDD. (During the WinXP setup screens.) As I understand it these can be run from a network source (Desktop 4) is this possible with drivers aswell..? Rather then having to edit the winnt.sif file on the CD can it call this over the network so I can update the drivers folders as I see fit in the future without having to re-burn the CDR each time..? A note that none of the desktops or laptops have floppy discs. (Do have USB floppy drives, can these be booted from..?) So strim all the DVDs I currently have setup (1 per computer.) to do it all over the network booting from perferably a CD (Single CD or a different one for each computer would be fine.) If this is understandable lemme know, if not I'll try and re-word any of it. Any advice for the best set up of this would be reccomended, I keep anything I want to keep on my storage computer and may even get a MediaCenter computer at a later date for my music and stuff... Anyhow, thankyou in advance.
