I am also eagerly waiting for the new release as my PC has an Intel 875P chipset with the Intel RAID SATA. This driver always seems to have had problems! Cheers. Jeremy

Via the /silent command. ECHO Installing Visual effects... ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\SetVisualEffects.exe /silent Cheers. Jeremy

It did not work! Everything was selected EXCEPT 'smoothing of screen fonts'. Here are the contents of the settings file. [effects] 1=0 2=0 3=0 4=0 5=0 6=0 7=0 8=1 9=0 10=0 11=1 12=0 13=0 14=0 15=0 16=0 Any ideas why?

Quick question.......... What exactly does 'use common tasks in folders' actually mean? Cheers. Jeremy

Thank you smc1979! I love to have my Windows installation lean and mean when it comes to the graphical effects. Btw, does enabling the smoothing of screen fonts make any real difference in XP at 800 x 600 screen resolution? Or is the smoothing of screen fonts a hangover from Windows 9x days? Cheers. Jeremy

I tried this and sadly it did not work. All I need is the registry settings to disable ALL of the visual effects. Surely someone has done this? Cheers. Jeremy

I have tried changing the various entries in the following section. ;----------------------------------------------------------Visual Effects-------------------------------------------------------------------- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects] "VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\AnimateMinMax] "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ComboBoxAnimation] "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\CursorShadow] "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows] "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DropShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\FontSmoothing] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListBoxSmoothScrolling] "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewAlphaSelect] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewWatermark] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\MenuAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\SelectionFade] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TaskbarAnimations] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\Themes] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TooltipAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView] "DefaultApplied"=dword:00000000 BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE! So............ Has anyone ACTUALLY managed to disable ALL of the visual effects? If so, PLEASE post your registry settings. Jeremy

Maybe I did not explain myself clearly. I want ALL of the effects disabled EXCEPT for the two effects mentioned above. I have searched the forum, but it all seems very confusing Could you please post the registry entries that will disable all of the standard effects. Cheers. Jeremy

I want to set my visual effects to have ONLY two components selected. 1) Smooth edge of screen fonts. 2) Show windows content when dragging. Can someone PLEASE post the registry settings for me. Cheers. Jeremy

Brilliant! I wonder why they changed the setup.exe? Cheers. Jeremy

MHz, both of your postings were really helpful! Cheers. Jeremy

So how do I slipstream these patches into my XP SP3 disk? Cheers. Jeremy

I am having problems installing two hotfixes for Office XP. ECHO. ECHO Installing kb832332... start /wait officexp-kb832332-fullfile-enu.exe /Q:A /R:N ECHO. ECHO Installing kb833858... start /wait officexp-kb833858-client-enu.exe /Q:A /R:N ECHO. kb832332 asks me to enter the location where I want to place the extracted files. kb833858 updates, but then asks me to click OK. Can anyone help me install these two Office hotfixes from a batch file. Cheers. Jeremy

Thank you! Arablover

I am doing a tidy up of my unattended CD and I noticed this program in my main.bat. js56nen.exe It is the Windows script 5.6 Should I continue to install this program, or is it a security risk? What does it actually do? Cheers. Jeremy

No, it was a registry setting that removed the wizard.

I remember seeing this ages ago, but I just cannot find it again! What is the registry entry to disable the unsigned driver wizard? Cheers. Jeremy

Has anyone managed to get Avpersonal to install unattended? I have searched as far back as I can and I cannot find anything! Cheers. Jeremy

Yes, it is now working! Thank you so much for solving the problem! Cheers. Jeremy

I am using XP Pro SP1. I get the error: "The entry 3waregsm.sys in the [sourceDisksFiles] section of the inf is corrupt or missing" on ALL of my systems. Intel 875 and other various computers. Am I the only person experiencing this error? Cheers. Jeremy

The entry 3waregsm.sys in the [sourceDisksFiles] section of the inf is corrupt or missing. I downloaded the latest version of the drivers TODAY and started with a clean txtsetup.sif file. Ideas? Cheers. Jeremy

Just remove the references to idebusdr from your txtsetup.sif. Does this mean that all of the SATA controllers will work EXCEPT the Intel Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller? Cheers. Jeremy

I used the set from the 17th of April. I went through txtsetup.sif and added and removed as necessary. Would you like me to send you a copy of my txtsetup.sif? Cheers. Jeremy

I finally managed to install XP unattended on my Intel 875p notherboard. Everything worked as normal. But................. When I use the same unattended XP CD on a older PC (Intel 815 chipset), it will load in textmode all the drivers and then say that "setup is starting Windows" and then blue screen! This is JUST before the partitioning stage. On another even older computer (Pentium 166) it will go past this stage, complete the Windows section (39 minutes) and on reboot blue screen and reboot and blue screen again non stop until I turn the bloody thing off! Has anyone else experienced these problems? Do I have to have two separate unattended XP CD's? One for older computers and one for SATA computers? Please advise! Cheers. Jeremy
