hasi, keep up the good work. The thread that a06lp referred to has been pinned. BTW, just PM someone who can pin it for you, if you need it to be done. We'll immediately look into it.

Try this with NVE: Run the package in command prompt with "/?" switch. That will extract setup files first, then throw up a dialog-box with all the available switches. Example: nve30114.exe /?

@Astalavista Recommending someone to use more regtweaks than they require can be a bad idea. Each person has varying objectives. My regtweaks collectively comes to bear down 350 KB on CD. But I can't go around forcing people to abandon their own and use my REG, can I! @bmn Just cut out all the tweaks that do work fine, and test with only the problematic ones. Try applying from cmdlines, try GUIrunonce, and so on...

Have you tried any of these switches? /s /S /Silent /QB

prince2 ? That one was a nice game! How to start with command? Give it in the command prompt! Open a CMD window (or command prompt), and go to the folder where PoP2 is installed. Then start it. Example: cd C:\prince2 prince megahit

Ooo no! But yeah, the category who remembers you when your help is needed exists everywhere! I just take it to be a part of life, and move on. Plus.... have you ever given a thought to when you yourself (unintentionally) might behave like that category?

You do need the XP cd - get it from the laptop vendor or somehow... Then follow the guide here: link

First thing to do, is to slip-stream SP2 into your XP CD, and then re-format and install it. After that, install any AV you want - I've seen NAV2002 being pretty good. (although people hate it for the sake of hating it)

You can then do it for future installs thru CMD scripts, or using the adobe-reader speedup - instructions

First, that FEAD extractor is time-consuming. Then, the original installer takes too much time too. Make an Admin-Install Point instead! old page

That is probably the mistake being committed.... Don't direct path to "\Driver\2KXP_INF\B_19654". Tell it to look in "\Driver\2KXP_INF" instead. And it will be fine. Note though, that the ATi Control Panel won't install in this way. Unlike our nVidia Control Panel which just installs when the INF is used, the ATi CPL is Install-Shield-based, so needs to be installed separately. Do post back with your results.

That's what I said... extended resolutions become available only when drivers get initialised in full windows mode (i.e., from first login onwards, if your gfx drivers are present in the uA setup). If you started setup from within windows, even your GUIsetup (the time from T-39 to T-0) will be able to use extended res. Otherwise if you booted from CD and started setup, GUIsetup runs in a resolution somewhat lower than 640x480.

Extract the exe, and take out *only* the \Driver\2K_XP\ folder. point the path to the 2K_XP folder. The parent folder isn't needed (the folder with setup.exe data1.cab etc.)

This is not exactly legal... Did you read the rules of the forum!

Yes, there is. Some sort of patch that I'd seen.... I'll look out for it again, and post the link here (if I run across it again).Similarly, there's some way to make all calls to IE convert to ff instead. If you want the quickest possible way, overwrite the IE folder with your ff executable and associated files.

same here Someone please post the direct link here - I always do that, to cut through the red tape.... If I do get through the submit button, then I will post link to the ZIP here. If someone else does get through, then you do the same too.

Indeed slayer69! Hope to see you around here. Welcome to MSFN forums Have an enjoyable stay!

Hi Gos, Welcome to MSFN Enjoy your stay here.

WOW That's really nice of them. Now release Max Payne 3 and make MaxPayne 1&2 free.

I'm almost sure you're having this thing happening because of over-using the $Docs folder. Radimus, what folders do you have in $Docs ? For example, if $Docs\Administrator exists, it will get copied over during text-mode setup. Now when it comes to logging in the Administrator for the 1st time after install, windows assumes that "C:\Docs&Settings\Administrator" is a folder left-over from some previous install, and creates a new folder (Administrator.windows). What I do instead (assuming you want to fix the above problem), is to have and run silent extracting RAR SFXes, that extracts to %userprofile% when administrator gets logged in. Similarly, to extract to AllUsers, use %allusersprofile% but in this case you can extract to allusersprofile at T-12 itself. Hoping this helps...

moved to Longhorn forum

A "dash" in value will do it (it will delete the entry). Example: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "EFI Job Monitor"=- Similarly, you can even remove entire keys! [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]That will delete the entire key which is listed.

No, it refers to the bar that appears on top of the page, saying "pop-ups blocked" or "active content has been disabled" (yellow strip).The "Macromedia xyz required..." kind of messages you refer to, are "dialog boxes", not Info bars.

Yes, simply editing a file will make it lose its authenticity. You need to "modifype -c" any file before CABbing it to merge with I386 source.

Hey if you haven't already seen this guide, then take a look now atleast. http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/ He has a trememdous lot of info regarding INF. BTW, I won't dis-courage you from learning how INF files would work, but I'd say its not worth spending that much time over. Personally, I prefer using XML configure files for uA (check out XPlode) - its easier and good-looking, and functionality is unmatched.
