it does not seem to work with vista home basic. does it?

Yes permission was the problem . i had to change the permission to individual files for it to work. Thank you all for the help.

permissions are alright. Only recent .jpg files are the problem; older .jpg files can be manipulated without problem.

from within my poweruser account, when i try to open some jpg files in from my wallpaper folder in winxp into paint.net (or any other application) i get this error: "access was denied to the requested file (unauthorized access)" can anyone tell me why is this and to solve it ? thanks

thanks you all for the help. i will try what you suggested .

i installed winxp + all needed programs using my unattended CD with only one administrator account created. I then created an additional account from within windows as a limited user account. i found that some programs do not run as expected under the limited user account.example : i use Orbit downloader as my download manager and works fine in administrator account but refuses to download under limited user account even though it is running. my question is : why is this happening ? and how can solve this for all programs now or my future unattended CDs ? Thankx

@prathapml thanks you but i managed to solve it. the problem was that i tried to share the custom.msp created in my VM somewhere else but it gave it that error. it seem that custom.msp has to be used only where created.

can i get help please? i created a custom msp file and placed it with the setup file then when i run this : start /wait setup.exe /adminfile custom.msp through a patch file i get a window asking me to wait while preparing the installation files and then setup just terminates !? i face no problems at all when i only run the setup.exe directly. Can anyone please explain to me what went wrong? i'm trying this on a vm with winxp sp3 installed.

i was just thinking of saving time by not downloading what i have already downloaded !

double clicking won't do ! they are .mum and .cat files c:\windows\softwareDistribution\download.

if have a backup of all my windows updates, how can i install them manually after formating my pc ?

this my question: Do i need to have version of MS framework .net installed? some applications still ask for version 1.1 even though version 2.0 is installed !

Is it posiible to configure mediaportal to use vista codec pack ? i ran an mov file in mediaportal but found that it looked as if i was pressing an x2 speed .!

thanks guys for the help. i think i have a clearer picture now .

i opened an mp3 file did some editting job, save the file and close nero wave editor but i got this error msg. any idea.

i have always used k-lite mega codecs and it work just fine . Now i want to find out the differences with Vista Codec Package . which is best and why? thanks

i solved the problem . i created a batch file to copy the installation folder during winxp installation. thankx

Thanks for the release. BUT there is one problem : i added this to my custom cd, during installion picasa will run and wait for my response to scan my HD for photos !

thankx . i will try this . but what do you mean by:

when i try to import a reg file into the registry i get this error: "some keys are open by the system or other processes" even though i m logged in as an admin!

Since winxp won't allow to install applications in a limited user account, i changed to the account to an administrator account but win xp still will NOT allow me to do the installation. any suggestion? Title Edited - Please follow forum rules from now on -- Martin L
