make registry changes during boot?

[MerijnB]

Hi,

for a unattended Windows XP install, I need to make some adjustments for the driver of the audiocard.

I've found out which registry settings are used for that, but still didn't succeed to set it automatically.

It seems that either the supporting software of the driver, or the driver itself writes the current settings to the registry at reboot, and loads them at startup, so changing them doesn't affect current settings, and after a reboot the old values are back again.

I tried to find the process which writes it to the registry, so that I could kill that process before making the changes, but I couldn't find which process that is.

I think I need someway to make changes to the registry on the 2nd boot, but before the audio card driver is loaded...

I hope anyone can help me
