Yup! /me tried installing XPSP1 on Windows ME - the **** things aren't compatible at all. MS needs to learn something.... (of course, you know this is just kidding, don't you?).

That punch-line altogether dropped my jaw, imagine the shock those men received!

ha ha ha....... all in good humour ppl.

OMG! classic ones you won't find anywhere else.

This is a good collection of the things I didn't know. They're cool!

That's a good one....

LOL, don't show this pic to my pet cat!

You gotta go write poetry......

OK, now I get it....

u talkin' about "vaastu" ?

ROTFLOL Why have these gone out of circulation?

This one's gotta be a sports event everyone's gonna love.

For those who came in late....... Let it be known that many of the same things are being passed off as indications of living in the year 2004.

I second that!

LMAO, good letter - who drafted it?

OMG, that's funny! Aaargh!! Not until I understand what makes it so!

Oh my gosh, these are good.

Does look that way to me as well! Probably he's going to come back later and edit it to contain it in the entirety.

Why did you *HAVE* to have dinner!? LOL, you are unbeatable.

Use "/QB" instead of "/QN" (atleast during testing). That way, you'll get an on-screen diag-box if anything is wrong during install. Do check that out and report back on what it says. Also, you might like to un-install your current Anti-Virus, and install the SAV9 (which you are attempting to unattend) in the normal way while windows is fully operational - then you'd know if there's been any file-corruption.

@Alanoll- No probs now, sorted into its own topic. Here we go... A starter-pack, (sort of) for igniting the loads of posts which are inevitable. Shoot away questions, and new releases here.

Silently installing it has been no problem - search the forums for "Acronis". But pre-configuring it and making backups - no, not seen any info relating to that anywhere, shall report it here when I do get any info.

No, it won't necessarily look for the directory. And yes, it'd be a better option to look for "C:\WIN51IP.SP2" than any other.

Heya there, Some code from my old batch-files, might help you in your requirement, or give you an idea of what to modify: @echo off TITLE Registering Installed Programs COLOR 85 ECHO. :LOOP SET Choice= SET /P Choice="Do you want to register installed programs ? (Y/N)" IF NOT '%Choice%'=='' SET Choice=%Choice:~0,1% ECHO. IF /I '%Choice%'=='Y' GOTO Auto IF /I '%Choice%'=='N' GOTO Plain ECHO Please type Y (for Yes) or N (for No) to proceed! ECHO. GOTO Loop :Plain ECHO Installed Programs were not registered >> %systemroot%\Temp\instTime.log ECHO Finished. GOTO END :Auto ECHO Open Opera browser and register it now..... start /wait %systemroot%\custom\opera7.exe ECHO Open UltraISO and register it now..... start /wait %systemroot%\custom\UltraISO.exe ECHO Finished. GOTO END :END ECHO. EXITMaybe setup a chain of .cmd files. Run a main.cmd which then calls the rest one by one.... You get the drift. Upto you to utilise if it seems good.

Command-line tools are your best bet for these kind of tasks. Open a CMD window, and type net /?Then start using what you want of those commands.
