    Is there any specific reason why the

    Sorry, do not know why it was not availabale when you tried to download it. However, it is available now (Full Install, about 18 MB):

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/win...S/WMBonusXP.exe

    Edit, fast download speed too as I am averaging about 72 kbs on a slowww ADSL.

    Ah, they must've very recently updated the links then. :) It provided slightly different URLs before which both 404ed on moi.

    Doesn't look like the pack's been updated in any way though (checked through WinZip and all dates are still 2001.). Wonder why it was taken down then brought back up?

    And another question to ask: does this pack also work with WMP8?

    Completed XP Setup Screens

    I understand what your shots are suggesting I alter, but what I'm trying to say is that the following info in those two strings reads out exactly the same in both the original DLL and, for example, your Tomb Raider DLL...

    String 1:

    STRINGTABLE
    LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
    {
    1, "9"
    2, "8"
    3, "8"
    4, "Tahoma"
    5, "Arial"
    6, "24"
    7, "0"
    8, "11"
    9, "0"
    10, "18"
    11, "0"
    12, "9"
    13, "0"
    14, "16"
    15, "0"
    }

    String 2:

    STRINGTABLE
    LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
    {
    16, "9"
    17, "0"
    18, "700"
    19, "Tahoma"
    20, "400"
    21, "20"
    22, "0"
    23, "Collecting |information"
    24, "Dynamic |Update"
    25, "Preparing |installation"
    }

    Looking at your Tomb Raider screenshots I've seen that you managed to make the font of the status messages look smaller/different so that each one fits on a single line. But how could you have been able to do that when there are no noticable changes in these strings between the two DLLs whatsoever? :):wacko::rolleyes:

    Could it be something to do with the particular version info? My DLL states "5.1.2600.0 (xpclient.010817-1148)". Your DLL carries "5.2.3790.0 (srv03_rtm.030324-2048)". I take it you have a drastically different version of XP internal wise?

    What's the registry setting to change from display

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    You know how you can choose to look at all your folders in either one main window or in seperate windows (Windows 9x style)? Well, I'd like to make the latter the default option in my unattended setup but I for the life of me haven't a clue as to where it stores the particular information for this setting. Does it store in the registry or someplace else? All help is very much appreciated, thanks.

    Is WMP9 really as bad as it sounds?

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    I discovered lately that there's some sort of bonus pack for WMP9. But the two download links provided on Microsoft's site don't appear to work. What does this pack do exactly, and why does it seem like MS removed it from their servers? Was there something wrong with the pack that they had to withdraw it?

    Did you test your ISO through Virtual PC, btw? Or did you test it a different way?

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    I was testing a custom-made XP ISO through Virtual PC 5.2. Everything appears to be going smoothly, except at one particular part.

    GUI-mode setup seems to start off okay, and slowly but surely goes through the routine, except that it always seems to get stuck at a certain point - this point is shown in the capture provided. I wait ages and ages but it never progresses any further. The lights in the bottom-right corner remain animated throughout, so it's not like an almighty major freeze.

    I don't know if it's because I'm using a modified WINNTBBU.DLL here. I'm pretty sure that the first time I installed XP through VPC it got throught GUI-mode setup perfectly, albeit I was using the normal WINNTBBU.DLL at the time, and was also running off a written CD and not an ISO image. I closely examined both winnt.sif and everything in the $OEM$ directory, and couldn't find any mistakes whatsoever. So this appears to be a mystery.

    Could anyone be able to explain what exactly I'm doing wrong here?

    What's the registry setting to change order of...

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    You know how, by default, XP usually places My Documents first on the desktop layout, with My Computer below?

    Well, although there's a switch to change the order these two appear on the screen, I'd like to be able to have that set up during the unattended preparation. Does anyone know if this setting is stored in the registry, and if so, where it is and what switches are used? Thanks.

    Posted

    Without the August cumulative update, a serious hole can be exploited in IE:

    http://www.phaez.net/test/

    Warning: Unpatched systems will be rebooted by the script executed to show how serious this flaw is.

    Well, I saw the message provided from opening that link, but nothing else actually happened.

    Maybe it's because I share a broadband connection with my sister (our computers are connected to each other technically), who appears to use a hardware firewall of sorts?

    I came across this a couple of days back - is this what you were talking about Aaron?

    *sigh*

    Tried it yesterday, and it appears my fears are confirmed :).... the patch stops IE from reading the extra additions like audio/prs.sid and audio/x-mod properly in [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type]. They are pointed to CLSID (REG_SZ) = {06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8}. Without the patch this would make IE play Netscape-style plugins flawlessly, but no more.
