turned my pc into an HDPC but bluray discs skip!
FrankE9999 replied to ceez's topic in Hardware Hangout
This seems like overkill for a HTPC. The MSI Media Live DIVA 5.1 AM2+/AM2 AMD 780M HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail is about $170 after rebate. A AMD Phenom 9350e Agena 2.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 65W Quad-Core Processor - Retail is also about $170. With this morherboard and processor you don't need a video or sound card. http://thedigitallifestyle.com/cs/blogs/st...htpc-video.aspx -
Internet Explorer 7 + all Cumulative Updates?
FrankE9999 replied to zaqxsw's topic in Application Add-Ons
These are the ones I use. Note you only need the latest Cumulative Security Update. If you look in the KB article it will tell you if a patch replaces another patch. For XP SP3 IE 7 MS07-050 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127-x86-ENU.exe) patch shows that it replaces MS08-045 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB953838-x86-ENU.exe), MS08-045 replaced MS08-031 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB950759-x86-ENU.exe), MS08-031 replaced MS08-024 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB947864-x86-ENU.exe).

You can use 'tasklist /v' to display a list of all programs loaded into memory. Use a program like AutoRuns to disable programs that are running at startup that you don't need. You can download Start_ups.exe which lists most application that run at startup and what they are for. Also it wouldn't hurt to run a program like CCleaner to clean you hard drive and Wise Registry Cleaner to clean out the registry. You can also use Eusing Registry Cleaner to clean out the registry. Run a spy ware checker such as Ad-Aware 2007 or Spybot - Search & Destroy. If none of this works you can upgrade t

Windows XP has several vbs files for configuring printers. The Prncnfg.vbs, Prndrvr.vbs, Prnjobs.vbs, Prnmngr.vbs, Prnport.vbs, and Prnqctl.vbs commands. These need to be run as an administrator and can be used to install network printers on a system. These will be available to all users on the system. Add an IP based printer rem create port cscript c:\WINNT\system32\Prnport.vbs -a -r IP_192.168.1.5 -h 192.168.1.5 -o raw -n 9100 -me -i 1 -y public rem add printer cscript c:\WINNT\system32\Prnmngr.vbs -a -p "Network Printer HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL6 (192.168.1.5)" -m "HP LaserJet 4000 Seri

We are using WIM images to deploy Windows XP. I am trying to integrate the latest updates into the image without having to recreate it. The only information I could find was for doing this under Vista (http://www.minasi.com/newsletters/nws0709.htm). Does anyone have information on how to do this with a XP WIM image?

Just to verify that WindowsUpdateAgent30 was installed correctly. Check the file version on the following files (They should all be version 7.0.6000.381). %SystemRoot%\system32\cdm.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\wuapi.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\wuaueng.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\wucltui.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\wups.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\wups2.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\wuweb.dll I haven't got this integrated and am installing it using RunOnceEx. I extracted the contents of WindowsXP-KB905474-ENU-x86-Standalone.exe to a folder using 7zip. This file contained a file called WGANOT~1.EXE. I extr

Make sure you have the latest version of WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86. If you extract the contents of WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86 check the file version on some of the dll files (They should be 7.0.6000.381). I think you also need KB905474 Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications WindowsXP-KB905474-ENU-x86-Standalone.exeand the latest LegitCheckControl.cab.

If your looking for a deployment solution you can try Business Desktop Deployment 2007. There is also Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) which works with Windows XP. This is much better for small orginizations which don't need all the features of BDD. You basically build a WinPE 2.0 bootable CD and use it and imageX to create/restore hard drive images. o You can create multiple HD images in a single file. This results in a single file that is much smaller than multiple images would by as duplicate files are only stored once. o You can mount the image and edit the file contents. o Y

The Removes Hotfix Backup files web site states "NOTE: This utility does NOT remove application specific hotfix backups (Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Media player and etc.). It will only remove hotfix backups that are specific to the Windows XP operating system". CCleaner may remove some of these hot fixes (You need to selest Hot Fix Uninstallers). However I haven't found any programs that clean out the $hf_mig$ folder and you can't just delete it. Note: rmdir is included with Windows XP and does the same thing as deltree.

not setting default printer script
FrankE9999 replied to dubsdj's topic in Networks and the Internet
You need to run the portion of the script that sets the default printer using User Logon not Computer Startup as this settings is configured per user in the HKCU portion of the registry. You can try creating two scripts one that installs the printers and the other that sets the default printer. -
