Hi folks,

first post here, in english. So please be patient ;-)

At my self made unattended installation of Windows XP, the setup is still asking me for

"Your display settings may be wrong. Windows XP setup will now configure your display settings to a better value." or something equal (translated from german, of course).

So how can i get rid of this?!

I got the following:

I made a WindowsXP unattended cd with the winnt.sif in the i386 folder.

Here is a part of my winnt.sif where the bug my be hidden...

[Data]    AutoPartition=1    MsDosInitiated="0"    UnattendedInstall="Yes"
[unattended]    UnattendMode=FullUnattended    OemSkipEula=Yes    OemPreinstall=Yes    TargetPath=\WINDOWS    Repartition=Yes    Filesystem=NTFS    WaitForReboot=No    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore    OEMPnPDriversPath="drivers\grafik\ati;drivers\grafik\ati\Driver;drivers\grafik\ati\WDM;drivers\grafik\nvidia"
[Display]  BitsPerPel=16  Xresolution=1024  YResolution=768  Vrefresh=60

And another bug is the logon count.

I have to type in my password every time.

Here is the code:

[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=MY-PASSWORD EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=4 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1

And i dont want to create another **** user other then the "administrator" ;P

So, thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Qualle.

And please excuse my worse english ;-)

To fix the logon problem, add UnattendSwitch=Yes to [unattended].

Your display problems are because Windows thinks it can't support 1024x768. This is most likely a graphics driver issue.

Thanks for the tip, it worked. :rolleyes:

But i got another one:

The "unattended" setup still asked me for a password before the setup is completely finished

(pops up befor my

[GuiRunOnce]    Command0=%systemdrive%\temp\autorun.bat

batch file runs).

thanks in advance again,

qualle :)

The problem you are having with having to type the password in everytime is that you are encrypting the administrator password. If you want to login the Administrator automatically 4 times like your file shows, do not encrpyt the admin password. Good luck.

yeah, thanks Blyster, that should do the trick.

2 weeks ago i created an w2k unattended installtion without a encrypted password, that worked (do you say 'this worked' or 'that worked' :) ).
