The batch file is the .cmd. Extract the zip somewhere; a new folder should be created, then use windows explorer and go in this folder and double click on the "UDC-04.15.11.cmd".

You should already have the ethernet drivers for the nforce if you're using the onboard network chipset, they are in with the nforce chipset drivers (with audio etc....). What OS are you trying to multiboot, XP and ?

The theme service is needed for mostly effects but there i assumed you were speaking about XP. The wallpaper support is embbed in explorer.exe in XP so as long as you don't remove explorer, you'll have wallpaper support.

For the software you're using sandy bridge (lastest intel cpu) aren't the fastest but are faster. The fastest intel i7 extreme will be a lot faster than your current config. Also do not forget the storage part of the config, a good raid controller might be expensive but reduce by ten the overall processing time when handling big files (that's why i directed you on a workstation). The bi cpu solution might help processing two or more heavy tasks at same time (but multi-core already do a lot for this). Also an optimized system and software might help a lot .

The only related service is the theme service but you can use wallpaper without it.

I found this driver: nforce 15.26. You'll need to extract the sata_ide folder and the rights drivers should be in there if there is only one physical drive. And if raid is enabled, you'll need the sataraid folder (but then you should have 2 drives).

As you can see in this benchmark you could have replace you AMD mainboard and cpu for a top intel ones and the time for processing a scene with 3DSMax would be halved. But depending on the software you're using, you might be interested in a dual cpu workstation like for example an HP Z800.

Nlite need the original CD to create your custom one so if don't have a copy of it then nlite won't help there. You can also sell your computer without an OS or with a linux distribution.

This kind of script could be done in almost every script language and a google search would have at least showed how to do it for IE but depending on the OS it might be better to use one language or another. Autoit can do it very easily (i saw you said in another post you did a silent install with it).

Here is how i would do it: - install installrite on a clean system - then install your apps with customization - then use installrite to create a package of your app. Or - install innosetup tools - unpack the current setup. - Modify the current iss file with your customization - repack with inosetup. The second solution require a good understanding of innosetup, installrite is very easy to understand.

For firefox you'll need to edit pref.js in the user profile and set it there: pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.msfn.org"); For IE, it's a reg entry in HKCU: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main Startpage="http://www.msfn.org" Begin by trying to make something, instead of asking other to make it.

As mkisofs is part of cdrtools package, you might want the lastest win32 binaries. As for nerocmd i didn't find in the manual any option to do what you want. I think you should be able to use mkisofs to create the iso as you want (except the securdisc feature which is only licensed to nero) then write it with either cdrecord or nerocmd.

You need the scsi controller drivers if it is really a scsi one (the ST332082 is sata not scsi).

I modified a little your code to suit your need. IT will work as long as you're executing it on an english system (because of the date). @Echo Off :start cls set /p input= This program appends date to your filenames, do you want to continue (y/n)?: if /i "%input%" equ "y" goto :AppendDate if /i "%input%" equ "n" goto :ExitScreen echo Invalid choice & pause & goto start :AppendDate echo Success! Dates Appended. See log file AppendlogYYYYMMDD.log for details. For /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do (Set FileDate=%%f%%d%%e) if exist c:\Appendlog%Filedate%.log del /q /F c:\Appendlog%Filedate%.log For %%a in (c:\new\*.txt) do ((echo copying "%%a" to "c:\import\%%~na_%FileDate%.txt" >>c:\Appendlog%Filedate%.log ) && (copy "%%a" "c:\import\%%~na_%FileDate%.txt" >>c:\Appendlog%Filedate%.log )) pause exit :ExitScreen echo Dates will NOT be appended to filenames pause exit

In the current case, i think there was a huge change in the MB manufacturer and as XP check against the bios it wants to activate again. The XP is most likely an OEM version and you won't get around without making a butchery. The fastest way is to backup the needed files and reinstall or do a repair install and you'll need a XP cd and a valid licence key.

I would use autoruns from Microsoft.

Strange: there is nothing going to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0FDE5092-AA2A-11D1-A7D4-0000F87571E3} where it should register gpedit.dll and nothing at all to clsid. For appmgr.dll there are 4 CLSID et 2 other entries: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1BC972D6-555C-4FF7-BE2C-C584021A0A6A} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7E45546F-6D52-4D10-B702-9C2E67232E62} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{942A8E4F-A261-11D1-A760-00C04FB9603F} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BACF5C8A-A3C7-11D1-A760-00C04FB9603F} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppManager HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppManager.1 You should check if you have those entries and exports those key from a working XP in the same language and SP and import them. For gpedit.dll, there are 7CLSID: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0FDE5092-AA2A-11D1-A7D4-0000F87571E3} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4F637904-2CAB-4F0E-8688-D3717EBD2975} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{63E23168-BFF7-4E87-A246-EF024425E4EC} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6DC3804B-7212-458D-ADB0-9A07E2AE1FA2} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D70A2BEA-A63E-11D1-A7D4-0000F87571E3} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EA502722-A23D-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3} Those reg entries are localized and might contains the path to the dll so be carefull the both XP aren't installed in the same directory/drive.

Using procmon to monitor the registry access when self registering the .dll might show the thing going wrong.

Driver injection gui has almost your requirements but i don't know if it can work unattended.

A reboot is need after installing MSclient and file and printer sharing. Perhaps it was that.

How do you get 50GB on one partition when dos 5 only support FAT partition and FAT partition can't be more than 4GB if i remember correctly ? And no i don't know freedisk.exe.

You could also use hstart in winpeshl.ini to laucnh hidden the batchs.

The dir command would do the job but you'll need to parse it to get the last line. Read also on how to do it another way.

The right sata driver should be this one: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17413&ProdId=2115〈=eng&OSVersion=%0A&DownloadType=. You just need to download it and download driverinjection gui then extract the driver to a folder and extract driverinjection to another folder and delete language.ini in this folder then launch driverinjection /language choose your prefered language and then follow the questions (Read this post to know more).

To be able to use driver injection gui you need to access to your windows XP installation offline either from winPE or any PE like or use another computer and then add the new mass storage driver to replace the older one. You might also need to activate XP again.
