I am currently doing an 8 month intership in Germany at a university doing physics research in Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL). After this, back to uni to finish up my B.ASc in Engineering Physics - mechanical engineering specialization.

I think blinkdt said it best Perhaps you should read the screens and options available on each screen before hitting next. Another great tool is the search button. And finally, take the advice above and look in the unattended guide. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/66/ Thank you ]Bonkers[

Actually, he wasn't asking for a serial. "hey, can someone thell me were i can download the free nero 6 or 7 ?" Perhaps he thought there was a limited freeware version available. ]Bonkers[

I think that the HD DVD and Blue Ray readers are approximately 500US and 1000US respectively. So, I don't think this is the "best way" to backup 50GB at the moment. Perhaps in 2 years or so.

Hello, I am from Vancouver Canada, but I am working/living in Germany until the end of the year. My roommates have AOL DSL. As many people probably know, the software is bloat and I don't want to use. I did some searching around the internet to try and find a solution to get around this. It terms out that there exsists a method that allows you to connect to their service without using their bundled software. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6985 I followed the steps but still get an error at the end. It says that my username/password is wrong the domain. I was curious if anyone here is using German AOL and if they got it to work and what did they do. Thanks ]Bonkers[

I was curious if it is possible to use taouh method to select which components you want to install. I tried to use orca to modifiy the exe as suggested by the O&O authors, but I don't know which properties to change to make this happen. Thanks ]Bonkers[

@jwbecher: I appreciate the invite, but it was for the wrong beta. This topic is for Mail not Messenger. Thanks though ]Bonkers[

send[remove]2[remove]philip[at]hotmail.com Just trying to keep any bots from getting my email addy. Thanks in advance ]Bonkers[

I don't use the installer program. Just download the zip file and extract it during your install to a folder. ]Bonkers[

I would recommend EphPod to use for syncing your iPod. ]Bonkers[

Hey All, A prof a couple years ago at my university did this experiment. Pretty funny! EDIT: I guess a lot of people tried downloading the file and the university admin remove permissions for it. Oh well. I uploaded it to rapidshare.de http://rapidshare.de/files/9709068/StucklessSmall.avi.html ]Bonkers[

Thank you for your responses guys. I got it working. (I just finished my exam period and didn't even think of going /?). ]Bonkers[

I am in the process is changing part of my method. What I do is have an inf call a batch which resides in the folder along with the install file and reg file (if needed). Here is the code to the batch file now: cmdow @ /HID @ECHO OFF FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\WIN51IP.SP2 SET TEMP=%%i: SET CDROM=%TEMP%\$OEM$\Installs start /wait "%CDROM%\common\alcohol\setup.msi /qb Reboot=ReallySuppress" regedit /S "%CDROM%\common\alcohol\alcohol.reg" EXIT What happens is that the command window closes and reopens a new command window with the title "I:\$OEM$\Installs\common\alcohol\setup.msi /qb Reboot=ReallySuppress and the current directory is my starting directory. Now, if I remove the quotes for the setup program it runs fine. start /wait %CDROM%\common\alcohol\setup.msi /qb Reboot=ReallySuppress Anyone have an idea why the quotes do that? Thanks ]Bonkers[

Zxian: Did you know that you can get a legal license of 2k3 through our university's cpcs department? Since I took one cpsc course this term, I got access to the MSDNAA software. Here is what we can get: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Windows Server 2003 Web Edition Windows XP Professional with SP2 (Single User) ISO Image Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition Visual Studio .NET 2003 professional Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Project Professional 2003 OneNote 2003 Visio Professional 2003 Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 MapPoint 2004 North America Virtual PC 2004 with SP1 Heres the link: MSDNAA ]Bonkers[

I pay $360/month for room, board, utilities and INTERNET!!! Connection? No idea (I think T3 or something like that). Download speed = seen as high as 876kb/s. Upload speed = seen as high as 561kb/s. Got to love university and living in the dorms! ]Bonkers[

Thank you benners. ]Bonkers[

Well, I am a little bit late on this topic, but here goes. (note: code below is from an INF file) [code]HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0105",,,"APC PowerChute 1.03.1" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0105",1,,"%01%\installs\desktop\apc\setup.exe -s -f1"""%01%\installs\desktop\apc\setup.iss""" -f2"""%systemdrive%\apc.log"""" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0115",,,"Canon Toolbox 4.1.3" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0115",1,,"%01%\installs\desktop\canon\Disk1\setup.exe -s -f1"""%01%\installs\desktop\canon\Disk1\setup.iss""" -f2"""%systemdrive%\canon.log"""" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0130",,,"Mathematica 5.2" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0130",1,,"%01%\installs\desktop\mathematica\setup.exe -s -f1"""%01%\installs\desktop\mathematica\setup.iss""" -f2"""%systemdrive%\mathematica.log""""" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0165",,,"SoundMax 5.12.01.3630" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0165",1,,"%01%\installs\desktop\soundmax\setup.exe -s -f1"""%01%\installs\desktop\soundmax\setup.iss""" -f2"""%systemdrive%\soundmax.log"""""[/code] Those guys don't install for me. The funny thing is, SoundMax did before (without f2) but now it doesn't with the f2 command. Since it is an INF file, could it just be my syntax? ]Bonkers[

I have no problem adding reg keys or modifying then, but I don't know how to permanately delete them. I do know that if you put a - (minus) sign in front of a path there ie. [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] that removes all the keys (at least from what I remember). But how do I remove keys that have links to files? [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "MsnMsgr"="\"C:\\Program Files\\MSN Messenger\\MsnMsgr.Exe\" /background" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "NvCplDaemon"="RUNDLL32.EXE C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup" "nwiz"="nwiz.exe /install" "NvMediaCenter"="RUNDLL32.EXE C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit" "Apoint"="C:\\Program Files\\Apoint2K\\Apoint.exe" "AnyDVD"="C:\\Program Files\\SlySoft\\AnyDVD\\AnyDVD.exe" "Acrobat Assistant 7.0"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat 7.0\\Distillr\\Acrotray.exe\"" "FinePrint Dispatcher v5"="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\spool\\DRIVERS\\W32X86\\3\\fpdisp5a.exe\" /source=HKLM" "NeroFilterCheck"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\NeroCheck.exe" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "CTFMON.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CTFMON.EXE" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce] Do I just make them null? ie. "nwiz"="". If that works is that the only solution. I would prefer to have them remove completely. Edit: Mods, could you change sartup to startup. Thanks ]Bonkers[

Alright. I got it working. EDIT!!! I split firefox and thunderbird into two files to update! The command file (firefox_backup.cmd) ECHO OFF ECHO Backing up Firefox Profile set rar="%PROGRAMFILES%\WinRAR\RAR.exe" set temp=%CD% IF EXIST firefox_profile.exe del %CD%\firefox_profile.bak IF EXIST firefox_profile.exe rename %CD%\firefox_profile.exe firefox_profile.bak C: cd "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*default" set firefox_dir=%CD% del /f /q "%firefox_dir%\cookies.txt" del /f /q "%firefox_dir%\Cache\*" %rar% a -z"%temp%\c_firefox.txt" -r -sfx firefox_profile move "%firefox_dir%\firefox_profile.exe" "%temp%" EXIT The command file (thunderbird_backup.cmd) ECHO OFF ECHO Backing up thunderbird Profile set rar="%PROGRAMFILES%\WinRAR\RAR.exe" set temp=%CD% IF EXIST thunderbird_profile.exe del %CD%\thunderbird_profile.bak IF EXIST thunderbird_profile.exe rename %CD%\thunderbird_profile.exe thunderbird_profile.bak C: cd "%APPDATA%\Thunderbird\*default" set thunderbird_dir=%CD% %rar% a -z"%temp%\c_thunderbird.txt" -r -sfx thunderbird_profile move "%thunderbird_dir%\thunderbird_profile.exe" "%temp%" EXIT now you also need 2 text files that have your comments: c_thunderbird.txt ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\profile SavePath Silent=1 Overwrite=1 and c_firefox.txt ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile SavePath Silent=1 Overwrite=1 These two batches reside in the same folder as my firefox and thunderbird folders. I just run them right before making my new cd and I have updated profiles for both. Enjioy ]Bonkers[

At the moment I am backing up my firefox and thunderbird profiles manually into a WinRAR SFX and then having it extracted during install. I know there are members on this forum that do use firefox and thunderbird, I was thinking of a good way to backup the profiles easily. the easiest way would probably be a batch. I took a look at the capabilities of rar.exe and noticed that you it can read in a comment file using the command line. My idea is this: The profiles are located in: %APPDATA%\\Thunderbird\*default\ and \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*default (assuming we only want to backup the default profile). So if we change into that direct and store it as a variable and pass that along to rar.exe, we could archive into a sfx with a prewritten comment file. Once we have the backed up profiles move them over to replace the old ones on our UA cds/dvds. Then before every new UA version, we just run the batch file and presto, firefox and thunderbird profiles (bookmarks, extensions, mail, imap settings, etc.) all backed up. I suck at writing batch files. I am going to try, but if you want to beat me to it, I won't be sad . ]Bonkers[

Here is my inf file that I use to install [code]HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0015",,,"Azureus 2.3.0.4" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0015",1,,"%01%\installs\common\azureus\setup.exe /S" HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\0015",2,,"%01%\installs\common\azureus\azureus.cmd"[/code] and here is azureus.cmd: [code]cmdow @ /HID @ECHO OFF FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\spnotes.htm SET CDROM=%%i: XCOPY /E /Q /Y "%CDROM%\$OEM$\Installs\common\azureus\safepeer\*" "%Programfiles%\Azureus\Plugins\safepeer\" EXIT[/code] I haven't try the cmd file yet (just wrote it after I saw you copied over plugins). ]Bonkers[

Yea I tried that program out. Their webpage is **** slow though :S. I like that is has a lot of support for many other file types, but I still like ID3-TagIT better. But to each their own ]Bonkers[
