anyway i stopped using this hotfix for this reason : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=639146

ok now i have another problem. im playing audio during uA installation after T-33(when audio drivers install finishes). when i integrate, KB883667 audio is not played at all(but the song already started). Also during the RunOnceEx execution, i play audio. When the song is started this time, windows tells about the driver signing (for the audio driver) and i have to press "continue anyway". i cant hear the song here either. I got **** bugged up and stopped integrating this KB. anyway if i leave the 'new hardware found' for the monitor as it is, after 1-2 min, that windows is gone and installation carries out as usual. This delays installing the audio driver for sometime, so i wait a minute more to start playing the song.

i use nLite to do the stuffs in the attached ini (only remove compos and integrate hotfixes and wmp11). then i add driverpack. during T-34, it prompting "New hardware found" for the monitor. i found that installing KB883664 solves the problem, so i added it to nLite along with other hotfixes. During textmode setup copying files, it says cannot find newdev.dll, which is related to 883664. since i remove all drivers except Scanner and Camera drivers, this may force nlite to remove the required file. so what i did is use nlite without this hotfix and then manually integrate KB883667 alone and then add driverpack. now setup works fine and the add new hardware doesnt showup and everything installs unattended. Note : This add new hardware issue exists even if i do not use nlite and do all procedures manually. Last_Session.ini

i integrated KB883667 BEFORE driverpack and the problem is gone.

this hotfix works. no found new hardware pops up now.

This is the site where we can download hotfixes that are not publicly available for the following OS/components : .NET Framework 3.0 Microsoft Compression Client Office 2003 Visual Studio 2005 Windows 2000 Windows Media Player 10 Windows Server 2003 Windows XP Best part is its available for all languages. http://hotfix.xable.net/download/index.php

i cant find the download for this hotfix...can someone give the link plz.. ok found it from : http://hotfix.xable.net/download/index.php...h/Windows%20XP/

it shows found new hardware for the monitor. how to get rid of that?

f u r using in unattended install, its not working coz ie7 must be executed atleast once. so after the runonceex execution, just open the ie7 windows thru Run registry entry and during next reboot, apply the tweak and remove the Run registry entry.

change to this would drastically increase the shutdown time as told by Yzowl. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000000

go to regedit remove unwanted entries from : : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

yes indeed it is due to the driverpack. this happened when i ran xp setup from inside windows and rebooted to continue finish the repair install. this way, i can select repair install even if my cd is unattended, and consequently, this problem of "setup calling himself" pops up and terminates the installation. i had this problem lastweek so i prepared a uA without driverpack and repaired. any solution if driverpack is used?

search for cdswitch in this forum and have ur appz and office in the second cd. again do some search for sysdm.cpl(for system properties) file in this forum. u can find a couple of topics on that.

did u copy that logonui.exe from a working xp? if so, this should have worked. if u have downloaded the file, try it in an existing installation.

alongside fat32, there may lie another partition of linux or something which in my case doesnt boot from cd at all unless i remove them from windows and free it.

save the following in a .reg file and doubleclick it to run and press ok. this one will remove the win version display from the desktop right side bottom corner Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Show Windows Version and Build on Desktop ;0 = dont show ;1=show [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000000

is your hdd has non-fat or non-ntfs partitions? if it is so(like having a linux partition etc), there may lie some problem. u have to remove those partition before booting from windows.

it is suggested not to use already done distribution for modification. to get a worry-free install, always use a clean distribution(xp+sp2 as base to do all uA stuffs.

i strongly believe the solution could be in any of these two files or both together. i corrected the problem in my system and export the corresponding registry. lm.reg cu.reg

each month, few hotfixes are phased out or updated to new version. removing them and adding new ones is easy if svcpack.inf method or nlite method is used if we need a perfect distribution.

i had it to show the windows version on the desktop. u can remove it by, ; Show Windows Version and Build on Desktop ;0 = dont show ;1=show [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000000 for ur problem, try choosing : rightclick myComputer-->Properties-->Advanced-->Settings Button under performance-->Visual Effects-->select "Let Windows choose whats best.....". I noticed i had this same problem which i never minded cos i dont have anything except recyclebin in desktop. Jeremy's hint worked for me when i unchecked it instead of checking it.

god i had the same problem long back and rectified it. excuse me but give me some time to think what i did, i completely cant recollect. maybe due to some hotfix.?? KB920342.exe KB917275 KB928388.exe KB931836.exe try removing all of these hotfixes and do it. but im not sure the prob is due to this.
