I may have previously confused a part of MS06-021 with MS06-022.The KB918439 does not break the .ART functionality; it fixes the vulnerability.

It looks like this starts being checked after installing MS06-021. I performed many tests to check which patch introduces the check.As of MS06-021: Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (KB916281), rendering of .ART images is disabled by default. The "FEATURE_IMAGING_USE_ART" Feature Control check is also introduced (silently) which may enable rendering of .ART images.

Recently I noticed that a Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer added the "FEATURE_IMAGING_USE_ART" Feature Control registry entry (at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_IMAGING_USE_ART]). No Microsoft documentation (even on the official list of Feature Controls) for FEATURE_IMAGING_USE_ART. The Feature Control is not publically documented by MicrosoftCorporation. I tried adding DWORD value "iexplore.exe" with value data "1" and DWORD value "explorer.exe" with value data "1" to the Feature Control key and rebooted. I was then able to view the .ART files in Internet Explorer. So it seems that a change in default handling behavior occured for which Microsoft had not published a means of how .ART image disabled feature can be reenabled.

The problem has been corrected. A different Internet Service provider was being used (AT&T) from one that was being used before. Using a different port for outgoing mail allowed mail to send agian. It appears that AT&T may block the port previously used for outgoing mail. I fould no official statement as to what ports AT&T blocks.

I want to automate Telnet commands. I was thinking of having it implemented via batch file. I want to emulate the procedure to set a mode via Telnet on a NETGEAR device with wireless radio. The procedure being emulated starts at item "10." on the following webpage: http://www.beatjunkie.de/Router_eng.htm Input to console from the keyboard would normally be the following (legend below): TELNET <CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS><ENTER>Gearguy<ENTER>Geardog<ENTER>wla<ENTER>set remoteAP <ROUTER MAC ADDRESS><ENTER>set oper sta<ENTER>..<ENTER>save<ENTER>reboot<ENTER> To understand the coded, the following legend of substitutions apply: <CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS>: IP Address of Wireless client being configured. <ROUTER MAC ADDRESS>: Router MAC Address. Contains colons and capital letters. <ENTER>: End of line character or "ENTER". How can the TELNET input be automated? EDIT: I think what I want implemented is done using the "echo" command with a pipe character ("|"), but I am not sure how it should be done.

It is "'coming from background to foreground'".

An Internet Explorer 6 with SP2 windows may come to front when working on something else (like typing a pot here for example). How can windows that are not at from be disallowed from coming to front on their own?

An associate of min has tried to send emails from Outlook 2007 (with SP2), but on attempt to send the messages, the messages got stuck in the Outbox. This happened on Windows Vista Home. I nor my associate not very familiar with Windows Vista or Outlook 2007. I have tried deleting the messages in Outbox and resending. Messages were only deleteable when Working Offline and resending cannot be done (messages get stuck again). What could be done to have Outlook 2007 send messages instead of retaining them in Outbox?

Rethinking about the problem after examing what the update is for, I have decided that the better solution is to remove the secdrv.sys driver/service (the service is hidden by default) from Windows XP with Service Pack 2. secdrv.sys is a third-party DRM driver, generally used to restrict use of games. DRM drivers for games has been reported to cause system instability. The commercial name of the secdrv.sys is "SafeDisc". It may be unwise to install the update patch and update the DRM (to SafeDisc V4.3.86); it would be best to completely remove SafeDisc from the system. More on SafeDisc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SafeDisc

It really is not so simple. The original file from the installation source should be deleted before starting the integration process. Otherwise, if deleting the file during the many patch integration process, there is a risk of not retaining versions of the secdrv.sys file newer than what is included in the defective patch.

So no Windows setup file has to be modified? Also, if an update patch is integrated into the installation source (and copy in SVCPACK directory), would the half-open connections patched TCPIP.SYS file be replaced (on Windows instance, not setup) with the update patch TCPIP.SYS?

How can half-open concurrent connections be increased in Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 without user intervention (unattended)? I have found patches and patched TCPIP.SYS files, but the concurrent connections do not seem to be applicable unattended.

From what I understand (please correct this if any information is incorrect), drivers and codecs must be 64-bit to function on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. 32-bit software that are not drivers or codecs and compatible with Windows XP Professional may run on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition through emulation. Are theme styles for32-bit Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (Luna, Windows Embedded Standard, Zune, Royale, Royale Noir, etc.) operating systems compatible with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition? Is there a software scanner or index that may be used to determine whether a software codec is 64-bit compatible?

I have examined the versions of QuickBooks and have determined that it does not truly require .NET Framework for the entire software suite(s). I did find that some things would use the .NET Framework (like QuickBooks database). I found it unusual that an application is designed to use .NET Framework, but not exclusively.

Your link appears to be defective. I am guessing you meant to refer to:http://www.netsetman.com/index.php?s=nsm I shall try NetSetMan 2.6.0. By "set my...printer", do you mean defining/installing a printer? It would be useful if the application could define printers for a user, but not for all users (Windows 2000/XP does not provide any easy way to do it).

I shall examine NET.EXE "USE" command.

I found no version of Microsoft .NET Framework installed on my computer.I attempted to remove files that may not have been cleaned up after an uninstall of .NET Framework using a cleanup tool found: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/1...r-cleanup-tool/ The tool produced a log. I have attached part of the the log. After cleaning for all versions of .NET Framework, I attempted to run QuickBooks 2005. QuickBooks 2005 ran without a problem. Would this indicate that QuickBooks 2005 really does not require .NET Framework installed? cleanup_main.zip

No. How is it that QuickBooks 2005 is able to run without Microsoft .NET Framework installed globally (Incorrectly specified system requirements?)?

Microsoft Corporation give the following description for "Common Language Runtime": Common Language Runtime seems to be related to Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. The QuickBooks 2005 system requirements require: I have QuickBooks 2005 installed on and running on a computer with Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 without any apparent versions of .NET Framework installed. There is no item in Add or Remove Programs nor shortcuts to Microsoft .NET 1.1 configuration in "Administrative Tools" in Control Panel. Is Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime 1.1 installable without installing a .NET Framework to the system (globally)?

I would like to map, reconfigure, disconnect, backup, and restore network drives without using "Map Network Drive..." or "Disconnect Network Drive..." Windows dialogue boxes. An example of reconfiguration would be: changing the login information (username/password) used to connect the network drive. I would appreciate responses with methods or tools to map, reconfigure, disconnect, backup, and restore network drives. If the mapping, reconfiguring, disconnecting, backing up, and restoring can be also done unattended, I would like to know how. Any other comments, questions, etc. are welcome.

Thank you bacon_boy.I have tried the patch. I did not think the patch would work because I believed that after installation of the new "update.sys", System File Checker would replace (the patch did not come with a .CAT file). The patch updated "update.sys" without a problemand System File Checker did not revert "update.sys". It may be possible to get new cumulative security updates for Internet Explorer 6 with SP1 working on Windows XP with Service Pack 1 by using the Internet Explorer 6 with SP1 meant for Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 (Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 and Widows XP with Service Pack 1 use the same binaries and version for Internet Explorer 6 with SP1; official support for Windows XP with Service Pack 1 has been discontinued).

A Microsoft Knowledge Base article existed that had a link or information to download a patch for Windows 2000 family operating systems that contained a newer version of "update.sys", the Intel Microcode Update Device driver (driver used to load microcode into CPU, not system EEPROM), than what came with Windows 2000 Service Pack 4. I cannot seem to find the article with the information. I would appreciate assistance in determining where the article may be found.

I do not understand what dialog boxes are in color.Please clarify.

I tried an application converted from the AutoIT script posted by MHz above, and it failed to unhide the dialogue boxes. Perhaps the setup with the billboards is not the same setup without the billboard (this seems true of setup or mini-setup invoked by sysprep.exe); the dialogue boxes may not exist as dialogue boxes until [shift] + [F11] is sent.

The problem describe in the initial post to this thread is not uncommon. I often occurs due to the inability of NTLDR from operating systems with an NT version of 5.1 or greater to load greater than 16MB (most of which may be the SYSTEM registry hive) to boot the older NT-based operating systems. The problem is a defect of design of NTLDR from Windows XP and newer.
