Okay then. No thanks to you Astalavista *takes back the thanks* Thank you totoymola ROFL !

Hmm.... Its supposed to work. Are you sure nothing ELSE is coming in the way? I'm making the AIP on a clean XPSP2 and its fine. Saved 4 MB in the process. Dunno how it would react on my dev machine though.... with all the truck-loads of what I have installed there. (I mean, the AIP will install fine, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to CREATE it there) One thing I've noticed to be useful, is *NOT* having the app installed when making an AIP of its installer.

Yup, that's fantastic then. Go for AMD. The config mentioned above is a general outline of what should be good....

****! There you go again with your bold-formatted posts.... its really irritating you know! Back on topic, those pics are so sad to see.... I was hoping to see a mermaid or something - now THAT would be interesting.

Another site with port details: (all ports) http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/ip/ports00000.htm

the best patch ever for all known PC problems: remove the short between the chair and the keyboard

That's why its a wanted wonder.

Nope, it doesn't matter as long as you actually took the entire folder mentioned. And you can do it before opening tb. Do it during your batch-files (when your other files are being copied to where its needed) or whatever....

Set it to zero (FFFFFFFF) to disable it.

WANTED: wonder DETAILS: that extraction dialog with cancel button should go! (or atleast some switch to disable the cancel button from showing)

Well, admin-install point you already know. (the same as what you do for OfficeXP/2003) And just do the same on this one. For example, QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /A --OR-- QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /A C:\QT-AIPThat will make the AIP. If that doesn't work, try msiexec /A QuickTimeFullInstaller.exeIf that doesn't work either, then try extracting QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe with winzip/winrar (because it might be a compressed file you are using) and run the same switches on the setup EXE or MSI found within. The advantage to the AIP method, is that only the required files are copied to specified folder. After that you can go in and delete files that were only required for win9x, and make a RAR SFX which is much smaller than the installer you originally started out with. Do post back on how it goes.

Yes.Also, if you have same virtual config, then why do you want to activate it again - just copy over the activation-done file (wpa.dbl) from old VM to new one - it will be in C:\windows\system32

Are you talking about doing it manually or for uA installs? set IE cache

Is "play animations in web pages" enabled in your IE options?

AMD? great. Get any nForce3 (or 4) based MoBo. AMD AthlonFX 53. GeForce FX6600 (or the Quadro series) SATA drive - 250 gig (or higher) 7200rpm, 8 MB cache Note that no manufacturers are mentioned above - just any decent one with the right price will do. As for the 1 gig of CAS2 memory you have, it would be right to ask what type is it. (is it DDR? what speed?)

What you want, is not setup.exe modifications. Create a whole new autorun yourself! Many tools available to do that: - AutoPlay Menu Builder - AutoPlay Media Studio ... and so on.

This is where thunderbird settings/profile is stored: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\ThunderbirdSo copy it away, and use a winrar SFX to extract to %appdata% folder, at first-logon.

Try resetting the game (delete the .ini or whatever.... where settings are stored). Also, is windows able to detect the card appropriately after swapping?

You can use your own folder and call the files from there. But that's unnecessary complications. Why not just use an optimized ISO?

why not try once again with no_dialogs=false instead (in the .ini) Atleast then it will show up the error box if any. If that doesn't work, make an admin-install point using "/A" switch on the installer. Then install from the MSI in the resulting folder with "/QN".

@jfmartel Take a look: SET adminpwd=%random%%date%%time%text net user Administrator %adminpwd% echo This is the admin password set for the PC - %logonserver%,%computername% >> \\DOMAIN\SERVER\sharename\pwdlog.txt echo %adminpwd% >> \\DOMAIN\SERVER\sharename\pwdlog.txt Only problem here is the clear-text dump of password. I suppose this batch-file is quite self-explanatory. If run in local machine context, it will do what you are asking above. If you need more details, just ask. As for This can be done by a winnt.sif setting that lets the local admin log on X number of times automatically at bootup (set it to just once).Hoping this helps....

From folder options, enable viewing hidden/system files. Then, in your C:\ drive you will find 2 hidden folders - delete those. Also, to remove the option (during boot-up) to start XP setup, you need to remove the relevant line in boot.ini

I believe editing the XPCREATE.cmd files is restricted - that's what GreenMachine had said somewhere.

Have you tried de-compressing the .CAB using winzip/winrar and manually merging the files into install source, or probably chaining the SP6 setup by editing some setup scripts?

They don't store the activation on the BIOS. They use something called SLP to activate based on BIOS query. The required info is probably in OEMBIOS.BIN (I386). SLP= System Locked Pre-installation. info Article to explain this
