In this case, no, because during the initial install we use a default username (bob) for setup and load all the drivers and apps and finish testing. After we sysprep the system we noticed that after the OOBE is completed the setup name is never removed.
After installing Winxp Pro SP1 either manual or automated, we load all drivers, applications and verify all hardware.
When done we run sysprep, but it fails to clear out the default user created during the original setup.
If we go back in after we sysprep and fill out all info (username), we...
Solution Found!
MS confirmed to me that sysprep in XP does not clear our usernames as it did in W2k. They said that the only way to clear the username was to install by unattended text files.
We found a work around to this allowing us to not have to make these files.
After fully installing...
1.) Loaded Windows XP Pro SP1
2.) Filled out user info with default info (username CL50)
3.) Loaded all drivers and applications
4.) Tested all hardware and apps to make sure they are functioning
5.) Ran Sysprep.exe
6.) OOBE fails to ask for username
7.) Windows resorts back to default username...
After installing Windows 2k, or 9x, when you first attempt to access the internet you are prompted for your internet settings (LAN, Modem, etc.). We routinely start up explorer to load all of the updates from Microsoft and would like to be able to reset the IE wizard after we have finished. Does...
Hi all, I've got a stumper here (well for me anyway). I'm trying to do an end-around on our server which won't allow me to send regular html forms so I found a javascript to get around it... only problem is now the script collects the information, sends it to outlook and it sits in the Outbox...

Microsoft specifically addresses this problem.

Boot your computer, go into the CMOS and make sure your boot order is set to boot from the A:> drive (floppy) first. If it is not, you will always get the Invalid Disk message. Once you can boot to the Boot Floppy, SYS the c: drive using the "sys c:" command.

TVDUDE714,
Gateway lists this part number as belonging to the Brooktree TV card they sell. You can find Win 95 and Win 98 Drivers here: http://www.gateway.com/support/product/drivers/video/6000402a.shtml

Bill,
The only other thing I can think of is that some older drives had different settings for "MASTER", "MASTER WITH SLAVE ATTACHED", and "MASTER WITH ATAPI COMPLIANT SLAVE". You may want to go to Western Digital's web site: www.wdc.com and search out the jumper...
It has slipped out that there is a problem with VIA's "Super South Bridge" chip the VT82C686B. The problem shows up under large file transfers (such as installing programs, or copying large files from cd to HDD and Back). The problem is currently known as the VIA Latency Bug, and is...
We see this problem all of the time with almost any SCSI controller and Win NT or 2k. For Win NT 4.0 the easiest way to solve the problem of the drives not being recognized is to use the 3 boot disk install instead of installing from CD. Insert floppy 1, let it complete, insert floppy 2... wait...
If the systems are on a network, you may want to try disconnecting one of them to see if the problem goes away. I've seen systems that synchronize their clock to the server time and therefore may be different that the machines around them.

I believe what you may have is a Bus Mouse. They are not very common anymore, but I believe that Logitech was one of the main manufacturers. They made the Bus Mouse and also an ISA card to plug the mouse into.
