the problem is not the driver for the video card per se.

I belive the problem is the video card drivers support for your monitor see this thread...

It seems from your screen shot that you might be useing a wide screen?

It may be that this is a result of the image that you used is not the correct size / format, and can not be fixed without replaceing the image itself. It seems that you have changed the default image used for boot and shut down and it may be that you created your own problem by changing it.

Hey Siginet...

It takes most (but not all) of my spare time to code base.
I would be honoured to donate what time is left to your incredible projects.

Now that is what I'm Talking About!!!!

I don't intend to run Vista as my primary OS i just need to be able to install and test it efficiently.

i think the key is in the $OEM$ (or network install equivalent) folders

any progress on a cheat sheet "learning pains" for graphics... he asks with baited breath...

I feel pretty comfortable with doing it, or assisting with it, but... you are the "master"

try running a tracert
i think you will find the fault is not with the server...
we (the driverpacks admin's) have not altered anything.

i have gone to MS and gotten the WAIK and documentations
step 1 - i will be reading them tonight.

step 1.1  polishing some rough edges on base rc3 so i have clean code to start on vista.
(if xp sp3 goes live i will offer rc3 on the news page for a few days or a week 
and if it fairs as well as its predicessors publish it officialy)

step 2 if jaak is correct it will take me a month of evenings to code.
too bad i need to make adjustments for the different versions of vista or it would be quicker.

step 3 and possably the stopper. we need testers...
XP users outnumber vista users at least a 1000:1
We have about ten testers for XP
applying what we know i will have .01 (or less) people to test vista packs.
it will be tough to maintain our quality control when our vista testing team is a severed left foot. wink big_smile tongue

that warning is associated with method one
if you use method two then it will not appear or affect you.

well everyone has been after me to get on this - and i am ready, willing and ATM have the time.
i was hoping someone would toss me a bone... i guess a "messy" pack is kind of a bone.

perhaps reinventing the wheel has the advantage of possibly not heading down the wrong road to start with.

are you sure it's not white out... wink (very old blonde joke sorry) big_smile

no problem

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.x … f9dc439e6/

use steps one and four...

since your original machine is useing standard IDE your already half way there.
in most cases setting the driver to standard IDE before shutting down / imageing
is the forgotten and most important step

did you notice your title?...

you need to give us some details to go on... or nothing happens

can you get to the download page?
are you running a software or hardware firewall?
which version of base?
what packs do you have?
what is your OS?
do you have internet connectivity? (it would seem so)
are you behind a proxy?
what do you mean it is "connecting"???
if you were connecting then you wouldn't be posting for help???
do you assume we can read minds?

it is working for me right now...

yes check out these two posts.

mass storage instructions http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2461

3rd party DriverPack instructions http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5

Remember that mass storage drivers for text mode,
the ones required to create / choose a partition at the start of the install. (the F6 drivers)
are only added from the mass storage pack.

we do have a search feature available in the menu bar at the top of every page wink

have a nice day.

Muiz i don't think we are communicating well.

I thought the idea was for me to add the required code to base ?

I had not planned to add the tool to the base code...
so that means i will have to start from scratch with no documetation.

so i guess you are not in a hurry for this and your not intending to help?

unfortunately that is a no no... and we can't recomend it to others.

licence violation.

Sorry that is not supported.

you were right jaak he is a pie rat...

Love to hear the whole story...

I just thought of a better way for you to do this ....

select custom for the finisher method then add this line to your cleanup command


   cmdow @ /HID
   start /wait %SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe
   shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."
   DEL ***some stuff here for cleanup***
   EXIT

I updated the title of this thread.
I think that is it completely obvious to 98% of our users that:
IF you shut the computer off in the middle of a task then it won't be completed.

OK, if you have:
1) DP Finisher set to GUIRunOnce and
2) KTD enabled and
3) Have a reboot set at the end of RunOnceEx (I do in a Cleanup.cmd I found on one of the forums).

this will fail every time since guirunonce runs after runonce exe.
this means that there is just enough time to start the finisher (60 seconds into the GUI)
i am aware there is some documentation that says they run at the same time... but humor me anyway.

switch the order of operations.
1) DP Finisher set to RunOnceEx and
2) KTD enabled and
3) Have a reboot set at the end of Cleanup.cmd run from GUIRunOnce.
