You didn't look very well then. Look in their forum, and on the dedicated unattended website. The links to both are located on the main page.

I'm not trying to brush you off, but there's no way I'm going to rehash the wealth of info they have.

You will be surprised at how easy it really is once you get a basic unattended disc working. My advice is to start with just getting windows to install unattended without any custom stuff. Then slowly add custom stuff and test often.

I would avoid silent installing apps, but it's a personal choice. I prefer to use portable software as much as possible on a different drive. That way when I do a clean install, I don't have to install and customize everything all over again, plus I avoid the work of making silent installers and such. I also don't have to backup anything before formatting because I keep nothing on C:

Why not ditch XP and just straight plain windows 7 since you say at the bottem you are running windows 7 thus just run windows 7 why bother trying to make windows XP Look like windows 7 or vista for that matter . yea ya can simulate- Mimic the look sorta of windows new look but you wont get none of the features or functionality let alone the Performance gains you will get from it

For your silent install programs use add-ons. You can make your own with nLite Add-on Maker or find some at these URLs...

Reg tweaks can be added by using the $OEM$ folder and GuiRunOnce that's located in the unattended section of nLite.

You say you have your XP updates already. Make sure to check what you have against this list...

what is the specification of her PC cause i installed windows 7 ultimate on my moms AMD Athlon XP 32bit 2200+ system with 1.5gig ram and a 8400GS graphics and it works just fine it works better then XP with SP3 and that is both having a fresh install

well it's and amd sampron 1.8ghz with 768mb memory and ati 8mb gfx card very old pc needs to be updated but as she only uses it for card games and internet then it's ok for her, as last time she got my windows 7 pc she killed it with downloading games :angry:.

P.S i am hoping to build her a new 1 but i need a cpu for it an amd am2 as it will also take ddr2 memory, i have a few spare an a old ati readon x850 gfx card to have but, can't find any cheap sites or shops it get a cpu from.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
