trouble Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi,We created a unattended install cd, its working almost perfectly. But when the installation is finished and the pc reboots, the screen turns black just before the logon screen. But we can see the mouse pionter. And when we press alt-f4 or esc (dont know wich 1 is triggering this) the screen returns to normal and we can logon normal. But we are making this CD for someone else so we really have to solve this. Please we need some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astalavista Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Disable %systemdrive%\install\bootscreen.cmd[shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\campina.theme"try again.let me know if it hangs again.do not use a custom bootscreen or theme if u dont know what u are doing.I highly suspect this is the root of your problems.

Astalavista Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 u pm me that u solved ithow did u solve it pls post your winnt.sif how is it different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trouble Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 thats the strange thing it isnt diffrent at all. We made a tuturial our own, so we made a new cd to check out the tutorial, so we rewritten the winnt.sif, exactly the same as the old one. And it worked. But the cd is 40 mb larger then the old 1, so maybe it isnt the winnt.sif. When we find what solved this we will post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperHacker Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have this problem with a regular install CD. I found that if you leave it for a long time (not sure how long, I left ) it eventually starts some 'welcome to windows' thing. I just reboot and it works fine.
