  1. I had a problem with a system where it would hang at the Windows Is Starting Setup within a blue screen on the text portion of the setup. I eventually had to change my motherboard, still not too sure that it was at fault as it would only happen when i removed my 1700XP and installed a 2400XP. I have since used the same processor in a different machine and it worked fine and still is working ok.

  2. What are yo using as your DNS server, your router?? an external ISP DNS server??

    My own setup is my router as my primary DNS server and my ISP's DNS server as my secondary. Try setting these in your network conections and see if it makes any difference.

  3. i am pretty paranoid about spyware and viruses so i am well protected and sure that's not the problem.

    Could Windows Washer (i installed it recently) be erasing some settings files?

    depends on what settings you have for Windows Washer. Can you ignore the folders that these programs reside in and see if that makes a difference.

  4. Logon as the second Administrator, right-click My Computer select Manage, click on the "+" of Local Users and Groups, click on Users, right-click the built-in Administrator account and select Reset Password.

    As was said here. For security reasons you should proably disable or rename your Administrator account and use the other one you have setup to do admin tasks. Another tip is to write your password down and store it in a sealed envelope and store it somewhere safe, that way if you ever forget it you can retreive it from the envelope.

  5. Folks,

    I have managed to get my unattend install working perfectly for the OS but when i try to add Office to be installed it doesn't seem to work.

    My winnt.sif file is

    ;SetupMgrTag
    [Data]
       AutoPartition=1
       MsDosInitiated="0"
       UnattendedInstall="Yes"

    [Unattended]
       UnattendSwitch="yes"
       UnattendMode=FullUnattended
       OemSkipEula=Yes
       OemPreinstall=Yes
       TargetPath=\WINDOWS
       repartition=Yes
       WaitForReboot="No"

    [GuiUnattended]
       AdminPassword=password
       EncryptedAdminPassword=No
       OEMSkipRegional=1
       TimeZone=85
       OemSkipWelcome=1

    [Networking]
       InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

    [Components]
       msmsgs=off
       zonegames=off
       msnexplr=off

    [GUIRunOnce]
       [B]%SystemDrive%\Install\Batch_Files\Office2003.cmd[/B]
      ;command7= "%SystemDrive%\DP\G\Graphics_Control_Panels.cmd"
      ;command8= "%SystemDrive%\DP\S\Sound_Control_Panels.cmd"
      ;command9= "%SystemDrive%\BTS_DP_cleanup.cmd"

    I have installed the batch file in the correct location on the cd but it still won't run when the administrator logs in.

    Can someone point me in the right direction.

    Cheers
