Newbie problems i think...

I want to change desktop resolution, because parameters in winnt.sif doesn't work. So, i put 1365VidChng.exe into my unattended install folder ...$OEM$\$$\System32\1365VidChng.exe

And added such line to winnt.sif -

[GuiRunOnce]
1365VidChng.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q
%Systemdrive%\Install\XPlode.exe

When i wanted to reinstall windows, a message poped up - it said : error in line 160, (so i counted, this line - 1365VidChng.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q ), setup cannot continue, and will exit...

What's the problem? Maybe i need to create some batch files? So can somebody say how to make it work? What procedures should i take? Maybe some examples how to make 1365VidChng batch file and where to put it?

Thanx in advance....

I change the screen resolution at the 13 min mark using cmdlines.txt and a batch file.
In the UserAcount.cmd I have a this entry, I have change the name of 1365VidChng.exe
to this VidChng.exe. I have all of this in my $OEM$ folder.
Cmd I use to use VidChng.exe

In my Winnt.sif I have this

YResolution=768
Vrefresh=60

By the way can i use this command in winnt.sif Like this -

[GuiRunOnce]
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\1365VidChng.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q

If my 1365VidChng.exe is in ...$OEM$\$$\System32\1365VidChng.exe ? It gonna work?

Try this
Save as ChangeRes.cmd

Quote

@Echo Off && CLS && Mode 65, 5 && Color && F3 && Title Change Screen Resolution
start /w %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\1365VidChng.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q

Then place that in ...$OEM$\$$\System32\ChangeRes.cmd so it gets copy to there.

1:\ Does this get copy to %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\ChangeRes.cmd
2:\ Does your Video Card support the resolution, and how are you installing drivers for it.

1. yes i thinks so...cause i put ChangeRes.cmd in $oem$\$$\system32 also 1365vidchng.exe

2. Yes cause after the installation i manually change it to 1024x768 and it works fine....
