Mojo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) 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 changed it from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 to test it, but didn't solve it).Massive thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepali Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome=1[unattended] OemSkipWelcome=1You have entered OemSkipWelcome=1 on both section.. avoid thisPlace it only on gui unattended Edited September 1, 2005 by Nepali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezus420 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 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).

MHz Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 You only need quotes for strings with spaces. Very few entries would need quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 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.

Takeshi Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 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?
