So, I got myself a Zotac ION ITX-A Mainboard (Intel Atom N330 and Nvidia 9400M) and while it certainly isnt a gaming rig, it does quite well for the little price. I have to say I'm impressed. That thing leaves my trusty IBM T42 (Pentium M 1.8GHz) in the cold. What I am not so impressed about: no fan control in the BIOS (yet), thus the fan is running at 3400 RPM all the time. and having that thing in the box on my desk, it gets on my nerves. some bug in the BIOS that halts the boot with a "keyboard not functional" error, reproduceable with PS/2 and USB keyboard. Anyone else here using that hardware?

OpenBSD prides themselves in this: "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!" (to quote OpenBSD.org) I did a quick stab with google trying to find the default package/application setup, but I didnt get lucky. However, I didnt spend much time on it.

I have been trying running setup.exe without parameters (as there seems to be nothing but a '/uninstall') and a simple inf install. that is, using the "update/install driver" option in device manager. Either way it keeps asking for the file even though it is in the folder with the rest of the files. The last thing AVM told me about this was that they dont support installing that driver unattended.

funny I don't see anyone mentioning the 2 year old bug in Office Web Components. http://www.h-online.com/security/Microsoft...e--/news/113994 that was a hole known since 2 years. whereas your 8 year vulnerability seems to have been brought to the attention of the kernel team around july. not defending anyone, things like this can happen in projects of that size. I'm just saying even if you are a fan of MS you should sweep before your own door before you pull jokes about what MS (now) calls concurrents. oh and BTW, MS seems to have a history of their own with problems from the past creeping up on them: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-P...SP3-97742.shtml http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/1126...nerability.html I dont remember a big fuss about those either.

I got a little problem with this driver. I want to install it unattended, however, for some reason I dont know it keeps asking for "avmcowan.sys" which is inside the same folder as the inf-file. If neccessary, I will modify the inf to get rid of this dialog box. I would prefer that to using AutoIt or the likes to try to click away the dialog. Maybe someone here can give me a tip where the problem lies. the inf-file: ; ; W2K/XP/Vista-INF for AVM ISDN-Controller FRITZ!Card USB v2.0/v2.1 ; and AVM CoNDIS WAN CAPI Driver ; ; Copyright © AVM Berlin 2007 ;

the users here do neither know the day, nor would they care. they only get annoyed when the system doesnt work like they are used to.

Try using something like AutoIt3, KiXtart or VBScript. http://www.autoitscript.com/ http://www.kixtart.org/

Tremulous and Wolfenstein:ET mostly. I just wish my hardware wasnt a 3 year old IBM T42. Could get better FPS, but whatever.

if you are using Windows 7 RC (7100) and the matching WAIK, peimg was replaced by dism, at least as far as I know.

I figured it out by now... brackets without storing the value = BAD. one reason why I like AutoIt over vbscript... but for what I am working on I am trying to work with what comes in the box with Windows, since I dont want to add too much additional stuff. (Thin client system= XP embedde)

Option Explicit Const strConnection = "RAS" Const strUsername = "UserXYZ" Dim oShell Set oShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") 'run command and wait for it to exit oShell.Run("rasdial.exe " & strConnection & " " & strUsername, 1, true) OK, I'm new to vbscript, can somebody point out what in heck is wrong with that script? it looks good to me... seems to be ok until WSH hits the "oShell.Run" line, there I get a compile error "no brackets allowed in subroutine call" or something like that. (german windows xp)

I'm at home now, so I cant tell you which version it was or copy it from the USB stick (which is lying around at work). My best guess is that the version of chain.c32 is not much older than maybe 4 or 8 weeks. If I were you I'd just get me the latest syslinux distribution package (v3.82) and work with that.

do you use a recent version of chain.c32? can not say my setup doesnt do that, but I have no floppy in the PCs, so I can't really tell.

LABEL winpe COM32 /boot/chain.c32 APPEND boot ntldr=/bootmgr thats how it works for me. chain.c32 is part of the syslinux distribution.

you want to look into using the "chain.c32" module. it allows you to chainload ntldr bootloaders from syslinux. (bootmgr is a ntldr style bootloader too) I can give you the exact configuration statement tomorrow when I am at work.

Do you seriously expect end-users to use surun and the like? Besides, most people seem to think just getting a prompt (allow/deny) is already too much of a hassle, now ask them do run things from the command line instead, and see how that'll turn out. I see, someone didnt read my post to the end. I dont know if "system menu" was the right phrase, what I mean is the context menu you get when you right-click a programs title bar. Hope that makes it clear.

well, I'll try to reduce it to people who KNOW what they are doing. We have at least one person in every department that has sort of a "1st level support" clause in their job description. They keep a lot of work away from "internal services". I can see them having an admin account for the machines in THAT department. But the normal user with admin rights? sorry, the situation as it is is total chaos. nobody asks IT about what they install on their machines, in contradiction to the written rules. that IT doesnt come down hard on them upon discovering that doesnt help either.

same here, Ubuntu user at home. at work we will hopefully upgrade from XP to 7, as long as our computer centre doesnt force Vista upon us... for having matured for one year or whatever bull.... (hopefully we will get rid of all those users with local admin accounts on the way)

Security vs. Usability: someone explain to me why there has to be an autoelevation? If I know what I am doing, I can as well elevate the program on my own. With SuRun it works like this: run "surun program.exe" or you can "restart as admin" from the programs system menu. (I am not thinking SuRun is perfectly secure, but the way it works (unless you enable its own autoelevation options, I disabled on my machine) looks more sane than MS UAC IMHO)

UAC disabled, using a normal user account together with Kay Bruns's SuRun.

Windows 7 looks promising so far. Hope now that they got XP mode they will cut off old stuff some time soon. (backwards compatibility back to the '80s and that) ok, this is probably OT, but I didnt really bother with PowerShell until I tried windows 7. And I really have to say, they are catching up to the shells in the rest of the world(*BSD, Linux, Unix etc.) (anyone ever used BASH here?).

Adblock Plus All-In-One Sidebar Firebug + FireLogger Stylish Web Developer Toolbar

I wouldn't laugh so much about this. With this idea, Microsoft may have finally found a way (after 20+ years) to cut off backwards compatibility back to the '80s from newer incarnations of Windows. And all I have to say about that: HELL, ABOUT TIME!
