thanks for the fast reply, but that wasn't it(already tested it...)...

any other ideas? i have several registry tweaks, but i don't see how they would affect the auto-update or oobe settings(none related to either, other than setting up a user)... well, thanks again, it was worth a shot, but no luck :}

Is the welcome "animation" the only thing coming up? Are the screens also showing? If the welcome video (or animation as you put it) is the only thing bothering you, you can get rid of it by using the below - (this is by someone else, I haven't tested it)

[Unattended]
  FactoryMode=yes

And, if your winnt.sif is really as shown above, the problem is simple - a spelling mistake!

UnattendSwith=Yes
Make that
UnattendSwitch=Yes

Now it should work perfectly.

EDIT: jrzycrim has said the same above, that's what I get for not refreshing my page for half-an-hour, and then replying. lol

@jrzycrim

thank you so much, i'm testing it now.. if that was it i'm gonna kick myself in the *** :blink:

@prathapml

well, it's not just the animation, the rest of the oobe screens follow.. hopefully the missing letter will take care of it..

edit: woohoo, no welcome screen :D thank you guys so much, now, to figure out if all my programs installed correctly....
