'Windows will adjust your resolution'-prompt

[Mojo]

When running my unattended setup, everything works great, billboards are displayed and all, but after rebooting, setup prompts me to change my screen resolution.

I've attached the screenshots. I have to click 2 times (confirmation also) and it's quite annoying, since this happens before my runonceex and not at the very end.

Any suggestions? Anyone has had the same problem?

Thanks!

I don't know for sure if it's due to the winnt.sif...

However OEMSkipWelcome is set to Yes, it still displays the Windows Welcome during setup (see screenshot attached) - maybe the screen resolution changer is part of Welcome...?

If so, how comes i still get this Welcome bogus?

Also, I set the section [Display] to preset the resolution - why isn't this one used? (I changed it from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 to test it, but didn't solve it).

Massive thanks for your help!

[GuiUnattended]   OemSkipWelcome=1

[unattended]    OemSkipWelcome=1

You have entered OemSkipWelcome=1 on both section..

avoid this

Place it only on gui unattended

You could also try to just delete the [display] section, and let it use the windows defaults (which is generally what windows thinks is the best choice) B)

whats ur monitor size and ur video driver ???

[cheezus420]

whats ur monitor size and ur video driver ???

I use my unattended cd @ work on many different video cards, and monitor sizes... So far it has worked just fine for all that I have tried it on. (usaually sets it to 1024X768 and 32 bit color)

EDIT: BTW, thats a pretty bad a** flag your countrys' got

for low resolution video card (24bit) and 14" monitor

ur display settings won't work perfect

coz 24 bit videocard and 14 " monitor mostly doesn't supports

1024 X 678 @ 32 @ 60Mhz

Ok, i'm gonna re-try with your suggestions. Small question: in winnt.sif, does it matter if you use quotes or not? F.e. UnattendedSwitch=yes or "UnattendedSwitch"=yes - does it both work?

My screen resolution is 1280*1024*32 @ 60Hz, driver is Dell 1905F (19" TFT).

Check ref.chm in the deploy tools.cab

This will give you the official format

EDIT: In case you didnt know, that is located in the TOOLS folder on your windows cd B)

You only need quotes for strings with spaces. Very few entries would need quotes.

[InTheWayBoy]

The first part should never be in quotes...and while you don't need to enclose every variable in quotes, I think it's better practice to get in the habit of doing it, so as to not get screwed by a simple thing.

I think if you're testing uA in VMWare it wouldn't use higher res than 640x480 initially unless you install VMWare Tools in the uA.

I might have something to do wit the VM...

I retested in MS Virtual PC 2004 instead of VMware 4.5, and the resolution did change automatically to 1024*768 after reboot (before first login). But right after that, i got the same msgbox as in my first post (Windows will adjust your screen resolution) and when i clicked OK, it changed back to 640*480... And the oobe (Windows Welcome) started running again.

Has anyone experienced the same before? Is this maybe because in the virtual machine, my display driver i use on the host OS doesn't work?
