I have a reg file that successfuly merges into HKEY_CURRENT_USER and disables the screen saver. The reg file contains: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "PowerOffActive"="0" "PowerOffTimeOut"="0" "ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0" "ScreenSaveTimeOut"="600" "ScreenSaveActive"="0" "SCRNSAVE.EXE"="" This all works fine. I want to now make this the default setting for all new users so have modified the reg file to write the same settings into HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop But when i create a new user it still has the screensaver active. Any ideas?

Yes i do have WinPe, forgive my ignorance, could you give me a rough run down of the way to do it? Thanks.

All the batch does is echo a few lines to the user and then calls 'pause' to wait for a key to be pressed before starting the installation.

Hopefully this is a silly and easy question to answer. I have built and tested my unattended xp install and am creating the iso using nLite. This all works fine. What i want to do is run a very simple batch file before the xp installation starts. Is there an easy way to do this? Many thanks in advance.

I have spent some time working with this driver and have found an error in the s3t3d2x.inf file. I have fixed the problem with the original driver from the s3 webiste but belive the same issue could be in the driver pack file. The line with the problem currently reads [s3.Mfg] S3 Inc. Trio3D/2X Display Driver Version 5.30.05 Engineering Release = S3Inc, PCI\VEN_5333&DEV_8A13&SUBSYS_8A135333 With it this way you can install the driver but must tell windows that it is a Graphics Driver (this is really when installing manually). If the automatic option is selected then it will not recognise it as the correct driver (this also is a problem during the unattended install). If the line is changed to the following: [s3.Mfg] S3 Inc. Trio3D/2X Display Driver Version 5.30.05 Engineering Release = S3Inc, PCI\VEN_5333&DEV_8A13 i.e. remove the &SUBSYS_8A135333 part of the line, it seems to work ok. Again this is using the original driver form the S3 site but i think it will be the same problem with the driver pack unattended install.
