but the windows cursor problem is not a problem with firefox, its because of a flaw in windows. I agree that firefox has gotten more bloated and slower to load but its still my browser of choice. It has lots of great plugins to extend functionality.

we are not invading his privacy. jus tstating that it seems like warez, which as far as we can gather we cant help him with

i didnt say its impossible to drive the speaker, i said you need an os installed to drive it e.g. DOS, Win 9x etc. he wants to drive it while windows is installing, so he would have to patch the setup (the drivers would be installed after the blue screen as far as im aware so it should be possible). But the question is how to patch the installation to allow music to play

sorry ben, but from you screen shot i can tell its warez, so dont think you will get help from anyone (RS = Rapid Share) and most files that are hosted on rapidshare with 39 parts are warez (or porn )

modifype shell32.dll -c most commonly used, it resets the pe header checksum to make iit valid for the moddifications you make. tis is usually all you would require because you are modding he file and thus the chcksum would have to change, but nothing else

you could also create a disk with your os stuff and the static programs you want, and use Autopatcher as the updater. By using a full release (like autopatcher november 2006) and embedding it on the main windows disk, you can then link to an update disk. the update disk can then hold the autopatcher update (like feb 2006). That way tou arent recreating the entire thing again, you only have to download the autopatcher update and burn it to another disk (on you main disk, instead of staticlly linking to the exe for an update you could link to a cmd file on the other disk called updates. then you just call the cmd file, which you update when you are creating the latest update disk). It would be a 2 cd install, but also gives the flexibility of not having to nlite your disk every month. you create an nlite install your happy with, without post-sp2 updates, then use autopatcher as your post-sp2 updater. this way the only disk that changes is the update disk, which can be linked form the 3 windows disks for the different machines. this also allows that the windows disk only installs the programs that are unique to the pc you use it for and have the second disk install all the common software so you now have 4 cds, but only the update disk changes regularly (which also allows you to update the software on the disk)

did you ensure the vb6 runtime files are installed in XP? it sound as if a DLL is missing (dont know which eactly, i program in c/c++ so dont get those problems)

for compressed its si3112.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1

jaclaz- so how would you drive the speaker?? to actually get sound from the speaker you require hardware/software to decode the music stream and convert it to analogue data for the speaker. The problem arises in the fact that pc motherboards are not designed to allow you access to the decoder chips etc from outside an os and also even if you could drive the speaker, how can you integrate that into the setup process?

Dabs is where i go. I used to buy from Komplett but had problems with deliveries etc that turned me off purchasing from them.

MS word has the option of saving documents as HTML web pages. Its really crude code generated but with trial and error you could probably get the result you want One suggestion is save the info as a simple text file. In it i would have something like [page-break] as a self defined tag to tell me where to break the pages and would define a css document. Then run a php script to read the txt as far as [page-break] and write it out a page at a time until i had 100 html pages. This would be a simple solution for me and would probably not be the method I would use and also may be beynd your expertise, but its a start.

just and adoptaion to the above <script language="javascript"> function unhide(id) { identity=document.getElementById(id); identity.style.visibility = "visible"; } } function hide(id) { identity=document.getElementById(id); identity.style.visibility = "hidden"; } </script> <a href="" onclick="unhide('hide1');">Unhide topic 1</a> ........ <span id="hide1" style="Visibility:hidden"> hidden crap </span> .......

it depends on which version of sha was used, because sha1 has been cracked (using alot of maths and computaional time, making it totally impractical for most people to break) but the modern version hasnt been cracked yet. SHA is a secure hashing algo, supossed to be a one way function only. It was not designed for decrypting, it was designed for use as a passsword hash so youo can check someones password without hard coding it (and thus allow others access to it) Counterpane Info BTW why do you need to reverse it anyway?? Also this cant be sha1 Thats 28 characters, so using ASCII the characters are displayed in 7 or 8 bits per character. 7*28 = 196 bits 8*28 = 224 bits SHA1, the version that has been cracked, is 160 bits only. So no chance of reversing it.

i use comodo personal firewall, never had a problem with it, its free (once you registrer for the free activation key) and its jsut as goo as any other firewalls i have used in the past (i have had outpost and other firewalls as demos and found comodo to be just as good)

I will also agree that Pioneer are great. Alot can be said for Plextors as well though, I don't know about the 755SA but the 760SA is great (i have 2 and they kick a**). At the end of the day is really a price issue and a personal choice as I have not heard bad things about any of the 4 you mentioned.

see ya learn something new everyday also proves more than 2 hours sleep a night is good for the thought process

1) 7-zip has a high compression ratio for its archives, so the files are stored in an archive smaller than zip, bz2, gz and most of the time rar or ace. 2) The SFX of 7-zip does not create a silent installer by default, but its easy to configure to create a silent installer (many tutorials here) 3) The only effect you have with the install is you require 7za.exe (the command-line version of 7-zip) to be in the system directory. This can be achieved by placing it in the $OEM$\system32 folder of the cd or by adding it to the [sourceDisksFiles] of txtsetup.sif and placing it in the i386 directory of the cd (dont forget to makecab it) Basically people use 7-zip to archive their files to reduce the footprint of the cd. There are other utilities you can use to do this but this is a common one here.

you cant encrypt the key because windows will not recognise it on install. If you dont want to have it embeded in the winnt.sif file, the you can prompt for it when required (change UnattendMode to UnattendMode=DefaultHide instead of FullUnattended)

save this as a .reg file and add to your registry. it assumes your theme is in the windows\resources\themes directory. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes] "CustomInstallTheme"="%ResourceDir%\\themes\\(YOUR theme).theme"

coming back from the tangent.... The difference between ISO9660 and Joliet is they place the information on the cd. ISO9660 is an international standard where as Joliet is an extension to the ISO9660 format, originally proposed by Microsoft, that allows longer filenames and no-ASCII caracters in filenames. Most operating systems now recognise both, but in the past there were issues with Joliet recognition. As for the emulation, im unsure about this myself. More info ISO 9660 Joliet

cdimage is a cd and dvd image creator, to verify this type cdimage at command prompt. The only other problem would be that you dont have a dvd burner. If the burner is cd only then nero wont allow you to have an image larger than a cd can hold.

In SmartStart, go to Backup section and click "Burn Image to Disc" this is in the DVD section and the cd section

use an anti-malware program like spybot search & destroy. This problem usually occurs with spyware installed on your machine

Universal Silent Switch Finder This program should be able to tell you the silent install option for the brico pack

yes use ussf to find the silent switch and add like any other application e.g. RunOnce, WPI etc
