right-click, go to properties.... on the second tab I think, there are file details of like Manufacturer and such....on your original kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) click the label saying original file name....and if it is ntoskrnl.exe then its single....if its something else its prolly multi

you could be using a multiproc kernel instead of a single

if you use the inf file....then you wouldn't have to even ponder if your Windows drive letter changes.... the inf allows the use of a variable path, while the reg file you're using only allows for static. what if your drive for somereason became D: instead of C:? it would work, but only if you $OEM$ folder has this structure $OEM$ |- C ||- Windows\Resources\Logoniui while the inf allows you to use $OEM$ |- $$ ||- Resources\Logoniui without problems.. as for mots41, yes that SHOULD work.

or you could do this..... ; ; Version 2.0 ; [version] signature = "$CHICAGO$" Compatible = 1 AdvancedINF = 2.5,"You need a newer version of AdvPack.DLL!" LayoutFile = layout.inf, layout1.inf, layout2.inf [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Add [Add] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","UIHost",0x00020000,"%systemroot%\Resources\LogonUI\logonui.exe" save as inf. and then somewhere probally after your other reg commands add this.... "RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %Path to INF%"

my bad, i was in a rush... the post is fixed and quoted. thnx DPR for pointing that out, not lookin to take credit from anyone. anyway finished the script and posting here....help from unforgiven1 on the for command FOR /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS') DO SET NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=%%A bootcfg /copy /D "Windows XP Professional" /ID 1 if %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%==2 goto DUAL REM ----For Single proc bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe" /A /ID 2 goto End :DUAL REM ----For Multiprocess/Hyperthread proc bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=dualKrnl.exe" /A /ID 2 :End bootcfg /Timeout 2 bootcfg /Default /ID 2 put it in its seperate batch file, as anything after it won't be run. Call it from wherever, but jsut its own batch, or at the VERY end of one of your last ones i put it in cmdlines.txt at the end of my user creation but whatever is good. I make a copy of the initial boot line so incase it doens't work i still have the original to boot from without editing files anymore. Enjoy

this is true....lol i'm trying to make a script to auto select the right kernel for dualpro and single

http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/installhotfixes.htm all the KB's were renamed to Q's

i vote we somehow add a babel fish thing to the forum meh, atleast there wouldn't be AS many language barriers. Peace

this should be bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe" /A /ID 1 bootcft /Timeout 0 thats what works on mine anyway. The original didn't work and gave an error

search for the post, Completed Setup Screens in the Pinned post of common stuff

ah pooh. any solution to the multiple kernels? or just hold hands and pray?

try this... if its an Installshield (i believe they are) Unattned > Installshield or this Unattend > Windows INstaller

uh.... for logon screen, are you refering to the welcome screen logon screen thats fills the screen? or the classic? the WinXP style logon with the clickable buttons for users is in logonui.exe Someone else describing that logon i'm still interested in hearing about webmedic's bootlogo and about the multiple kernels in winxp and having boot screens

i don't think uxtheme is language specific, as there are already hacks out there that work with most WinXPs languages aren't there? anyways, i don't believe AaronXP made the uxtheme, but someone else did. He posted how someone, just search

8.1b is a newer version and contains acouple security plugs and improvements to the original 8.1 with WinXP. i would install it, but my graphics board requires 9.0

webmedic could you describe you way of bootscreens in more detail? as for the other method, since there are two main different kernels, one for multiprocessor and one not, how can you do the boot screen change if you don't know which to use on the computer? how can you put it directly into the i386 folder? to replace the ntoskrnl?

also be sure it goes in the section already there (if there is one). down near the very bottom of the file

[Data] AutoPartition=0 that should do it

to become a tester, you have to be nominated for it. occasionally if you go to betaplace.com you may get chance. as for the dl, they are never sent to a mailbox (electronic i'm implying), however snail mail can be done.

if you're making a WinXP CD, you don't need IE6SP1 to slipstream.... not sure with Win2k though

i tried silently installin Real Atlernative and it had me select a couple options at the very end even though i used the VERYSILENT switch. Quicktime, use the search tool at the top, and search for "Quicktime" i know i saw somewhere that someone posted it

do you have this under [GUIUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 The SkipWelcome is prolly what you need

i can install them both unattended, however DeadAIM is not configured correctly. AIM must be started prior to installation. so how can i get it to start AIM prior to DeadAIM install. i tried running from batch file, but just a command window popped up. where in the registry can i put an entry to start AIM, and then start the DeadAIM install.....HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run? i tried that but not work.

well you can disable WFP using the hacked sfc.dll in this forum.... search uxtheme and you should find it. then you edit the hive files with one line to default it to disabled so it doesn't overwrite during setup. Bye Bye file protection back to topic, I'm really interested in some of this, particularyly the the boot logo and login logos..
