hohner Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi,I'm sorry if this has been explained previously, I have tried searching but as I'm not really 100% sure what the topic should be called, I am not exactly what keywords to search for. I did try but cannot find acurate results.I just wanted to know if you can get rid of the part which plays on first boot up, the bit which has music and a pretty logo video. Usually happens just before the "Let's get to know each other" screen.I have an unattended install which has user name and computer name predefined so the actual "let's get to know each other" screen is not displayed, the music and video part is however.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurity Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Add the Unattendsw=yes to Winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohner Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately adding Unattendsw=yes to the winnt.sif did not make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilweirddude Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 im not sure what you are talking about but is that the tour video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohner Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm not too sure either what is called, which makes solving my problem very difficult indeed.The next time I run virtualpc, I'll try to get a screen capture and post a small image in here if that is allowed.I've found another thread which from what I understand have a similar problem. I'm going to try a suggestion they were talking about and see how I go. If it works, I'll post the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 You mean the Tour Windows XP in All Programs > Accessories?(part of OOBE?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohner Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 No its not the Tour Windows Xp video.The video is played only on the first boot up. That is, windows installs, then reboots, then after the black Windows XP with the blue progress bar screen but before the Welcome screen there is a short video with some music.I have since solved the problem by adding FactoryMode=Yes to my [unattended] part of my winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I've tried that one already.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think you best give us a sample of your winnt.sif (less ya serial) to further examine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11580&hl=I believe the topic start found his solution.[Unattended]FactoryMode=YES(Don't make a new section, just add FactoryMode to the Unattended section)Solves the problem.

hohner Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11580&hl=I believe the topic start found his solution.[Unattended]FactoryMode=YESThanks Alanoll, I did find that answer previously in my searches that I have done on this topic. The solution worked for me, but after posting my solution previously in this thread some people continued to offer different ideas. I became unsure as to whether this was the correct answer or not. Now that I know for sure I will put it back into my winnt.sif. (you'll notice its missing from the one I posted)Thanks to everyone for trying to help me out.

hohner Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 Adding..FactoryMode=Yes to the [unnatended] section of winnt.sif does stop the video being played on first boot up...However, it also changes the display settings to Classic Style, eg; grey start menu etc.I think I will just put up with the video until I can figure out how to use XPlode and install everything at the 13 minute mark.
