Incroyable HULK Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 This will mostly happen when there is no proper display driver installed for your video card (when you have the default Microsoft Video Card driver...)So in order to work, you have to provide the correct driver for your video card using the Unattended Guide... $OEM$ folder + entries in winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what3v3r Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 i already downloaded both drivers, and referenced them in winnt.sif but im using vmware to test it all. maybe thats why none of these get installed, because vmware has a different video engine.are there any vmware drivers that i can use an include in my unattended installation?

Incroyable HULK Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Yes you can extract VMware drivers in the ISO you will find installed in the WMware Program folder:Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\windows.isoOpen the ISO file and extract the drivers you will find here:CD\program files\VMware\VMware Tools\DriversThanks to prathapml for pointing that out to me!

maxXPsoft Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Simply try this nothing else. In VMWare its what I had to do to get it at resolution I wanted. Adding the other stuff will mess it up if driver's don't install right with Virtual CRUD[Display] Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
