World cup fever starting to build around here. Anyone out there getting exited? Holland will defintely win!

Same as "normal" power off at least. Mine will still draw a teensy bit of power unless I pull the plug. Thanks to e.g. complementary LED on mainboard (Asus). Digressing from topic slightly: my most noticable performance gain I achieved by ... upgrading hardware. The most effective way actually

Would indeed help to post your runonceex file and whatever other scripts it may execute. Just guessing (once) - maybe it's because you're not using start /wait in your scripts?

In principle the technology is there, BUT at least here you can't buy it cheap and easy (yet). So lot's of work to be done still!

@augleovirgo: I am not sure I understand your question fully. I don't have a 7900 series nVidia myself (seem like a pretty good card though ). Accordinging to nVidia (and Asus it seems given your post) the Forceware 84.21 is compatible with your card. These drivers you can download from http://www.nvidia.com. The file is an .exe, but you can extract it using 7zip or Winrar or presumably any archiver (maybe). This way you can extract the drivers you need (the .inf files contains the file names). I didn't check the BTS pack, but would expect it to be up to date with 84.21 as well?? Hope it helps.

I can't help you unfortunately. I had a similar? experience once. After scheduling a checkdisk of C and D (and E) partitions on a Raid set-up, the checkdisk would be perfomed more than once without any errors in the log. By the way, I scheduled the checkdisk actions manulally to make sure HD's were fine (because of many BSOD reboots, which turned out to be caused by faulty memory). I never figured out why, never really tried neither as it stopped again after a while.

Tx for the heads up. Will try it soon, hopefully at least the back function works properly now.

if you use a theme file you could create $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes on your unattended install and copy your personal theme file in there. That way it's copied automatically.

These guys do some pretty quiet fans. More the european style I guess http://www.papst.de

hi to you too @Fattheman! And greetz from Switzerland. I'm pretty new myself. I think you'll like the forum. I do.

hi there, I'm a Thiemo (probably no others like it !???)

Thanks a lot @Siddharth !

I'd love to have an invite guys! [edit] Thanks @Siddharth!! --- removed e-mail --- [/edit] Thank you

Windows XP home and Ubuntu and Debian linux with ... Windows ME edition ... no joke! on another pc. Although I don't really actually USE Windows ME edition much to be honest

Aha? I am not sure I understand fully what you do and what goes wrong.For example: from you attached file ... What I now understand is that for example this line will extract your sfx just fine, but what goes wrong is that RunOnceEx processes the next line after the archive has been extracted. It doesn't wait until the extracted installer has actually been installed? What I meant is you could try to use this instead REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "ACDSee 8.0 rus" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\applications\Acdsee8\Acdsee8.cmd" /f Where inside Acdsee8.cmd you use the start /wait to control the order i.e. run sfx, then installer, then options, then etc and finally hand back control to RunOnceEx when everything has been done. Is this what you tried and it didn't work? If so, then I'm sorry to hear it didn't help.

you could try using "start /wait app /switches" with a separate .cmd file to launch your installs. e.g. in RunOnceEx: add .... etc ... winrar.cmd then make winrar.cmd with: start /wait winrar.exe /switches

Sure, here it is ... @ripken Your cooler is indeed a mean looking monster. What breed is it? It looks a bit like an Arctic Freezer which I've had my hands on once as well. At least the heatsink.

Thanks! It is quite the cpu cooler indeed. If you have enough space (and don't mind spending the cash ... ) I can highly recommend it. Quiet especially if run at low rpm ... and still low temps even when overclocking

@jaclaz Not even when you run a windows emulator? ok, doesn't help then

@LLXX: yes this did occur to me, but since the pages *should* be created in order and numbered incrementally, the batch file *might* just do the trick. Anyway, it's basically part of my batch file that creates the bulk content of RunOnceEx entries for uA install. See if it helps, if not no time wasted. By the way, I don't use RunOnceEx anymore, but even for that one I still did manual editing in the end as of course a program is also best for this. To clarify, the script looks for a file pattern (I used txt in the example here because I made a few files with .txt extension to test it quickly. But it can be modified to use any pattern. Also it excludes certain files (here the newly created files, which means you cannot use the same basic file name or it wouldn't do anything. This exclude list could be extended to ignore anything present you don't want processed. If the source is in random order/has random names, I don't see how it could be done without someone telling which order to use anyway (but usually there is always a way if you try hard enough). But yes, a program would be better yes, much better. I just don't have one I believe the best chance to have it run properly is to scan starting 1 to x uneven in one directory and then x+1 to 2 in reverse order in another. Run the script for the reverse order adjusting start and step -2. This is how I understood your procedure to be? Didn't look at VBS script but presumably either can be made to do the trick under the condition the source files are in some order. Any is ok as long you know what the order is and it stays like that.

Hope this helps. Just modifiy until it suits you. For example you could use set /p for user prompt for names as I understand you'd like from your first post. To change leading zero's modfiy the section after "lead=" to your desired number of leading zero's. Ciao and good luck! @echo off cls set myext=txt set myname=book_ set /a c_zero=900 set /a step=-50 set /a i=0 set /a j=0 echo new filename : %myname% echo file extension: %ext% echo start counter : %c_zero% echo step : %step% echo: for /f %%F in ( 'dir %progdir% /A:-D /B ^| findstr /i "%ext%" ^| findstr /v /i "%myname%"' ) do ( set FileN=%%F set /a i+=1 call :create ) goto :eof :create setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION set /a j=(%i%-1)*%step%+%c_zero% set lead= if %j% lss 1000 set lead=0 if %j% lss 100 set lead=00 if %j% lss 10 set lead=000 echo %FileN% will be copied to %myname%%lead%%j%.%ext% copy %FileN% %myname%%j%.%ext% endlocal

Unfortunately I never tried what you are doing. Nor am I sure I really understand what you want and why. But assuming it may have to do with the inability of DOS to install on NTFS, maybe you could start using Linux, which can be made to work with NTFS. Again I have no experience trying it. Maybe it helps you though. http://www.linux-ntfs.org/

Hey guys My quite new system! It runs nicely so far ... although I had to replace the memory (warranty though) And, I know, not the best pictures ever, but at least it can be attached to the post The specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Manchester Zalman CNPS9500 LED CPU cooler Asus A8N-SLI Premium Asus EN7800GTX-2DHTV PSU Be Quiet Colorline 400 2 x 1GB OCZ Platinum-Series PC-3200 DDR 2 x Samsung Spinpoint 160 Gb SATA Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 Plextor PX716A DVD writer Plextor 116A3 DVD drive Win XP Home

Zxian looks very slick. Actually I may be slightly biased towards Asian art themes ... Still nice any which way you look at it.

I have used the provide defaults both with nLite RC6 and RC7 which worked ok for me. If I'd had to guess I'd say your problems are most likely not due to nLite (if they truly are caused by nLite, maybe posting in the nLite bug forum is a good idea). I find the manual method is well described in the links Delprat added - so give it a try.
