Right before it goes to "Install Devices" during setup, i see a pop up that says "Welcome to the Windows XP Wizard!" when i click next that is when the Devices start installing. how do i eliminate this? also, when everything is done, i see a black screen that says "windows will try to adjust your monitor" so that makes up 2 pop ups. then ANOTHER thing comes up, which is the part where i have to register, set up internet, etc... here is my sif file...hopefully the error lies in here: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS WaitForReboot = No OemPnPDriversPath="E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Catalyst\Driver\2KXP_INF;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Creative\Audio\Common\Drivers\WIN2K_XP;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Scanner;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Printer\enu\drivers\win2k_xp;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Keyboard\Win2K_XP;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Lan;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Usb2;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Mouse\Win2K_XP;E:\UnattendXP\drivers\Detonator" DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore DUDisable = No FileSystem = ConvertNTFS Repartition=No [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=a39db1f95877f94daad3b435b51404ee058539a4fcbeb6e1d0c663faf7c10c85 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=0 [UserData] ProductKey=Removed FullName="Sam Cahill" OrgName="Cahill Group" ComputerName=* [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=85 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=610 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=HOME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off autoupdate=off media_clips=off [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended = Yes [FavoritesEx] Title1 = KopyKatz.url URL1 = http://www.KopyKatz.org Title2 = Rage3D.url URL2 = http://www.Rage3D.com Title3 = Packet_News.url URL3 = http://www.PacketNews.com Title4 = VCDQuality.url URL4 = http://www.VCDQuality.com Title5 = IRCSpy.url URL5 = http://www.IRCSpy.com Title6 = GameFAQSs.url URL6 = http://www.GameFAQS.com Title7 = IRCSpy.url URL7 = http://www.IRCSpy.com Title8 = Survivor_Sucks.url URL8 = http://pub124.ezboard.com/bsurvivorsucks [URL] Home_Page = http://www.Google.com [TerminalServices] AllowConnections = 0 [GuiRunOnce] E:\UnattendXP\main_batch.cmd E:\UnattendXP\hotfixes.cmd E:\UnattendXP\applications.cmd E:\UnattendXP\organization.cmd no drivers were installed.. i know this is a weird setup, but i have everything so it installs off E. im only using it for this computer. i think i fixed the bat problem i was having, i made it all into one .bat.... before, one bat was making the RPC or whatever reboot my pc... thanks, -sam
