Hi Implodium I am trying to do exactly the same as you in that I need to change the installation resolution from 640x480 up to a minimum of 800x600 so that an IBM application will install silently during the unattended install. Did you succeed in changing the unattended install display resolution that is used 'During' the build phase? Regards Gary

Thanx Gouki, The following lines are from my .sif file: [Display] BitsPerPel = 16 Vrefresh = 75 ;; v1.4.008 - Changed from 800 to 1024 Xresolution = 1024 ;; v1.4.008 - Changed from 600 to 768 Yresolution = 768 I understand this to mean that after the unattended install has finished, the machine will boot into a resolution of 1024x768. What I need to do is that 'During' the unattend build process where the resolution is presently 640x480 change that to be at least 800x600. Thanx again for the reply Gary

I utilise Windows RIS to perform an unattended installation of Windows XP SP2 and all model specific device drivers and utility applications. Whilst attempting to build a new model of IBM Thinkpad laptops, one of the applications is reporting as failing to install because it requires a minimum resolution of 800x600. During the gui phase of the unattended install the resolution is only 640x480 and this does not increase until after the build completes and the devices video drivers are installed and load correctly. Whilst I understand that within the .sif file I can state a default resolution of what the OS should boot into after the build, how do I modify the display resolution to be 800x600 during the build process itself? The software I am attempting to install is the Finger Print software onto an IBM ThinkPad T43. Regards Gary
