I made the original script - and to be honest it get old quick. I now use a black screen and without the orb it feels ALOT better - the orb is meant to be animated but XP just doesn't allow playing anything so early in boot (well without unlocking the system more than even I'd bother having in a modded OS). Glad you all still like this tho and hope when my newer tools start appearing you enjoy them too - You'd probablly remember my Quick Launcher during setup - now come with a Dynamic loading list you can add to (run anything U want). Still I won't ruin the suprizes - lets just say I'll be here at Wincert more soon with toys for everyone. . . ALOT better than a orb on boot

in entries change [sysoc] NWOrbs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,%maininf%,HIDE,7 to [sysoc] NWOrbs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,NWorb.inf,HIDE,7 should work then.

I got to 8300 - but then I never wanted a thankyou from anyone ever again!!! so I don't know if they get to 1 Mil

Kel this says it all: - http://www.hallmark.com/wcsstore/HallmarkS...rds/nfg2687.swf Keep up the good work mate, after you have a nice break of doing only what U want to do. these latest packs are the best. Later RON

it's not missing, it just runs itself when completes installing - which causes it to be displayed when U log in after Window Setup (cause run once it goes into memory, run twice it opens the Config screen). There is no benifits to having it run itself as the start menu has a link to run it and it adds itself to the Run i nthe registry - so a reboot later and it's up and running by itself. I understand kels original reasoning behind doing it like that - a fresh OS with no mmm already installed or WPI ran post logon - this will enable it straight away, but in general run on completion goes against the unwritten Silent install laws cause you did such a good job of the latest runtimes kel I am happy to wait around for you to get time for this update - I saw a few more apps have been updated too - never ending cycle - U should make yourself a batch script that automates building it all - then U'll have less work for yourself and more time to create new ideas Thanks all.

Nice - got the silent and the new Runtimes - busy man u been! ok just double clicked it to see how you handled certain things but all I found was 1 thing I was expecting and 1 I was not I was expecting it to complain about calc.exe being newer on my system (wasn't silent but hey thats how INF files work), possiable to fix by using WinRAR's SFX commands to delete the 3 files U copy manually. Ok now the unexpected thing, mmm run after the install opening the main windows for it instead of hanging out in the background not an issue for me - but is it really needed to be ran straight after it's installed? cause it gets ran every boot after then anyway. I am happy with it as it is - just mentioning about things I spotted.

YAY! - Thanks - would be good to have a kel approved silent exe over a bodged up RON release Your packs ARE the only pack I install every OS (even vista) they are beyond good now - they are ESSENTIAL - if I sit at a computer without it I feel like an idiot trying to do things from the context menus etc - must look a real joke with people watching me if they have a clue on what I am doing - right clicking things all the time only to click off it and going the long way around Staying tuned in here for more. . .

Thanks Kel for putting in the basic Inf install support - but 1 thing about it - it's not silent like your previous versions were. Doesn't effect me cause I just go in and edit the inf file - just thinking for the sake of others who want to use this as a silent installer again - it's simple to remove the prompts - put the files into a i386 folder and the inf in the root - then you call the - rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 %FullINFPath%\InfName.inf even do the cheat and extract to temp using SFX rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 %Temp%\InfName.inf still it's your release and you can do as you want. Just saying what I have noticed - fact is tho, if you can't install it from your WPI then your losing 1/2 the people who use this as they don't always want your pack integrated for every install - no way I see my mother using all these tools (well without making more work for me to repair later). Hmm just realised nothing useful in this post, ahh well I'll post it anyway and you can consider what I mentioned.

Hello. . I've been contemplating adding sp3 Pre beta to my disk but heres the things stopping me, if anyone can say otherwise just for the benifit of others, then please do. 1.SP3 may have a time bomb hidden to stop XP eventually. 2.The keys ment for SP2 may fail to work with SP3. 3.MS Updates may fail because SP3 is detected. 4.When the final SP3 comes out it wont allow you to apply it to the system if the Pre SP3 is detected. So the main concerns here are the future proofing. . . I've put alot of time into my disk and it means I somtimes don't see PC's back for years. . so knowing it's safe for updates is most important. Rick, I know it's just a project/hobby/test this update pack. . . but please consider NOT doing it, you time is to valuable to waste on this project. . about 1/2 my Disk mods are your's, so keep up the good work, but don't extend this Post SP3 Pre BETA update pack to more than a learning experiance, cause I don't see it mattering in a few months when final appears. Sorry if I sound disrespectful, but I've spent my share of wasted time on projects like this, so think of it more as advice. RON
