  1. (4.0+ browsers) Ever wanted to prevent users from "borrowing" images from your site through right-clicking them and "save image as..." or right-clicking the page and viewing your page source? This java-script will (attempt to) disable the right click on your page! As explained, however, this script is not fool-proof !! This was taken from - http://javascript.internet.com/page-detail...ight-click.html.
  2. Indeed, stick with VMware. I don't know how things can work in a real machine but not in a virtual (yes, I can understand that its possible, but that sort of a thing has never happened to me, in hundreds of tests. What happens in real machine happens in VM *EXACTLY* and vice-versa). Configure your CD properly, to be hardware-independant, and it will act the same no matter what the underlying machine. I normally follow this pattern - do testing on VM, then after I'm 99% happy that everything works as planned, test on a real machine, then test on some more real machines just to be sure.
  3. Winamp 5.07 here - and I use the classic skin normally. But when I feel like having a bit of change (for the eyes), the K-Jofol skin rules! B)
  4. InstallRite 2.5c can monitor what happens when an installer is runnng, and clone the setup package to be silent, for you. And its freeware. WinInstall LE and such software exist too, to peek into an MSI file and find out what operations are coded into the installer.
  5. Good idea! Lets see if someone has info about *WHAT EXACTLY* oembios.bin does. Then, probably replace it with a 0-byte dummy file, or at the least leave behind only essential contents of the file (after stripping out info about OEMs and SLP for their BIOSes). But doing this seems to go dangerously near forbidden things. So be on guard! (don't post anything that could trash activation)
  6. Are they trying to actively get past that block, or is it just "happens to access hotmail despite block" randomly ? If they are actually doing something to make the blockage irrelevant, then why not ask them what they are doing. Or, they are probably using anonymizers or some re-routing sites.
  7. I'd hazard a guess that GM is not quite as dis-appointed as you. He's been around since a long time - long enough to know free-loaders. We don't really expect hysterical applause all round, lol - coz work throws more challenges than msfn. He knows that we all love him. Some things aren't expressed in obvious words.... but its understood.
  8. Do you want 3 suggestions, or suggestions for v3 ? My suggestion is to have the colors in plain language (also) instead of hex-code.
  9. I've seen this being posted in many forums a lot of times.... I think its fake.
  10. It still don't work coz your section is in the wrong place.

    Mouses.

    multiples of a mouse is "mice", BTW. (mouses)
  12. Okay, that goes into the realm of SATA and RAID drivers... Take a look at this section of the forum - Device Drivers There you find the drivers, methods, instructions, etc. Since your question is specific to SATA, you'd rather post in that section for answers. (they'd know better about it, plus I hate VIA chips)
  13. Do you mean enable num-lock at boot?That's done thru the system registry. (search for registry tweaks) Sorry, need more details to help with that. Most probably that file is either deleted or corrupted. All those are screens that you see at first-boot - OOBE is the one that throws up these. You can either configure it from winnt.sif, or from oobeinfo.ini. Try searching around in the forum, for details on those (use the forum's search, at top-left, not the google search) - and if at first you don't get the answers, hang around the forum for a few days and you'd get it all right.Good luck with your unattended!
  14. heh, anything :pwnz excel!
  15. Yeah! That was the one that really had me in splits of laughter. They make the news article sound so innocuous, that if you did not know better, you *REALLY* would think that moron was a natural progression from duron! Duron.... Moron....
  16. I've only tried 4 of the above, and liked the flyakite Mac OSX transformation pack, the most.
  17. Just compress your drivers folder (into a 7-Zip SFX archive), then take a look at this topic: link 1 (this one has detailed description) (yes, it is using 7-zip which is a 3rd-party utility, but its freeware so it is okay) link 2 (this topic was the one where the idea was first proposed) If you have any questions about that method, of course don't post in this (optimize ISO) thread about it. [When in doubt, try searching thru my old posts ]
  18. The official unattended guide has this info... If you've already read through all the pages, then take a re-look at this page: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/installhotfixes_old.htm
  19. Well, I heard about that 4GB barrier from one of Alanoll's posts. So I'm not so sure about it (as far as first-hand information goes). Just try your luck and please post whether there actually is such a barrier.
  20. Heh, no one's gonna flame here. Welcome to MSFN forums! You have tested your unattended setup only in VirtualPC ? So there's the reason why you aren't seeing your drivers work! Looking at the description you gave, everything seems alright. One thing you might not have known, is that VirtualPC has its own hardware (it won't act like your *REAL* hardware - graphics/sound/etc. - it has its own *VIRTUAL* hardware). So just try it on your actual PC, and it will all work fine. Do post back on whether its all working perfectly or if there's anymore bugs.
  21. Yes, that's correct.Ha ha... don't worry about the path-names of your drivers in $OEM$ being long. Mine is longer than that, with all the graphics chipsets I need to support. In such a case, there is no need for optimising, isn't it? The DVD gives a nice amount of space (4.3 GB, or 8.5 GB with newer disks) to fit all your files into. The only reason why you need to create an ISO before burning to CD is to optimize (or to test in VMware). So if I'm burning to DVD and source files is more than 4 GB, I just directly use Nero! If I need to create an ISO (without optimization) of more than 4 GB I use Nero's Image Recorder. Time stamp? Use it if you want.... It makes no problems whether you use it or not. It will work perfectly with/without. Its just for your own satisfaction about CD/DVD release date.
  22. Yes, that is the correct one. PROPLUS.MSI was for OfficeXP. Okay... so that means there is something else wrong here. Try giving the arguments to the MSI instead. Example:start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\pro11.msi TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qb If that doesn't work, then try this next: start /wait msiexec /i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\pro11.msi TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qbIf it doesn't work, it will tell you what error is happening (like it told you last time to consult setup.htm). Please post the error message here.
  23. Well, cdimage gave you the long/complex description. To put it in a short way, you can just say "-j1" keeps your file-names exactly as how it was on your HDD. (No unnecessary capitalizing, no truncated file-names, just direct-as-it-is, if you get what I mean ).Okay, there's a few more things to keep in mind, while using cdimage though: 1. If you want your CD to be bootable, ensure that "-y1" is *NOT* used. 2. I think there's some sort of limitation in cdimage.exe about file-names (should not be more than 256 characters) - but that's no problem since I don't like to give such big names to files. 3. It will warn you if directory depth is more than 8-levels (i.e., 8 directories one-below-the-other anywhere in your CD) - that warning means that if you try to go to access the 9-th level directory in DOS, you can't access it. In windows mode it will still work perfectly well. This is a limitation of the ISO9660 format, and is not a fault of cdimage. (so if you want to be able to install XP after booting into DOS, ensure that your entire files in I386 are properly within 8-levels limit) The I386 files will be read properly in XP-setup (text-mode, i.e., blue screens) and in WinPE even if you break that limit. Maybe the solution has something to do with point 3 of this post? Anyways, if its working fine for you now, all's good and ignore this comment.
  24. I'm surprised he did not blast-off and explode! Thankfully I don't smoke.
  25. Yes, that'd be better. But you can get by, with just one large FAT32 partition that has the win2k install-source and is also the target - just remember to do the formatting prior to the setup itself (so that you can tell setup to not format the drtive).
