  1. LOL. You're still using a modem with a dial-up ISP? Or is it for PPPoE?
  2. It is possible to decompress the IO.SYS file from MS-DOS 7.10 and then "deversion" and/or change the version number to 8.00? Like you can decompress IO.SYS from MS-DOS 8 using IO8DCOMP?
  3. Is it possible to remove the hack known as XMSMMGR from the uncompressed (using io8dcomp) io.sys in Windows Me? And how about the boot logo? Or at least a way to prevent it from loading at startup? I'm using the diskcopy.dll patch for Windows Vista/7 that enables real mode DOS.
  4. Post here so everybody can use them
  5. DosProbe: Can you please post a reg or zip file of all the 200+ tweaks you use? Or a link to drop box, etc with the above zip or reg file?
  6. Could you specify which network components not to remove in vlite to prevent the install from failing?
  7. Yes. By default on an upgrade disc it's set to 1.
  8. File attached. Name and product key removed. unattend.xml
  9. It seems, YES! I tried, and it didn't work Any other suggestiojns
  10. Whenever I put my unattend.xml file in the root of the DVD, it always displays the dreaded "driver needed" screen. Without the XML fle it installs fine. What's even more wild is that I created it using the SIM in the ADK and it still does it. File is as follows: Also, the initial language selection screen still shows (with the "Repair your computer" option). What do I need to change? All references of "x86" to "amd64"?
  11. Whenever I try to play a purchased video from the Video app, it gives me the following error: I'm running VMWare Fusion 5.0.1 with the guest tools installed. Running dxdiag, it says it the video driver only supports DirectX 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3. Movie trailers play fine. I've tried increasing the VRAM of the virtual machine from 2MB to 32MB to no avail. Does the Video app require that the video driver supports Protected Media Path and or Protected Video Path?
  12. I have removed 66 packages from the Windows 8 install.wim. When I try to remove additional packages I get the following error: I have tried restarting the computer to no avail. What can I do?
  13. When using DISM to remove packages, do I need to remove the associated lanaguage packages first or are they automatically removed when removing the main package?
  14. When explorer.exe is not the default shell (as specified by the Winlogon key) metro apps don't work and I get a "class not registered" error when trying to launch them. Is there a way to use them with explorer as the default shell?
  15. What about "upgrade" versions like the $70 Windows 8 Pro being released October 26th?
  16. Will a retail product key work with the RTM ISO when it comes out on October 26th? Or will I be a able to do an install on an empty hard drive when it comes out using the DVD?

    SP1 Question

    Is it possible to use a retail Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 DVD without getting the dreaded winload.exe error?
  18. Do I remove the SP1 packages (17514) before I remove the SP0 packages (16385) and when do I remove the MUI (language) package for said packages? Before or after the main package that goes with each language package?
  19. When I specify the get-pacakges parameter, everything's not showing up like it should. The output is: [qupte] Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Image Version: 6.1.7601.17514 Packages listing: Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Language Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:29 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-Client-Refresh-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Language Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:29 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-CodecPack-Basic-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Installed Release Type : Feature Pack Install Time : 11/21/2010 3:40 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Installed Release Type : Foundation Install Time : 11/21/2010 3:40 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-IE-Troubleshooters-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Language Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:29 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-IE-Troubleshooters-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Installed Release Type : Feature Pack Install Time : 11/21/2010 3:40 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~8.0.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Language Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:29 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7601.17514 State : Installed Release Type : Feature Pack Install Time : 11/21/2010 3:40 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-LocalPack-AU-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Local Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:30 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-LocalPack-CA-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Local Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:31 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-LocalPack-GB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Local Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:31 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-LocalPack-US-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Local Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:31 AM Package Identity : Microsoft-Windows-LocalPack-ZA-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 State : Install Pending Release Type : Local Pack Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:32 AM Package Identity : Package_for_KB2534111~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0 State : Install Pending Release Type : Hotfix Install Time : 4/12/2011 8:18 AM Package Identity : Package_for_KB976902~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.17514 State : Installed Release Type : Update Install Time : 11/21/2010 3:01 AM The operation completed successfully. Notably missing are packages like "Microsoft-Windows-Shell-HomeGroup-Package" and "Microsoft-Windows-Shell-MultiplayerInboxGames-Package". What do I do? I'm using the Home Premium SP1 refresh ISO (X17-58997) from Digital River. I've tried download it multiple times, and double and triple checked the SHA1 sum. It matches perfectly every single time. What do I do?
  20. I bought the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium a week ago. Does that mean SP1 is already included in the install.wim on the DVD? I haven't installed it yet because I haven't gotten Parallels Desktop yet.
  21. I will be installing Windows 7 Home Premium into a Parallels virtual machine at the end of month. I just bought a full retail copy of the OS, and was wondering if it's possible to use vLite from Windows PE. Has anybody used vLite with Parallels? If so, what components are required for Parallels tools to function? I also have a LightScribe drive, and was wondering if it the LightScribe system software would work in a Windows VM in Parallels. Also, do recently bought copies of Windows 7 come with SP1 plus all updates that were released up to the manufacture date of the disc already on the DVD?
  22. You should make a copy of it first, and then modify the copy. Then boot up into the recovery environment and replace the existing file with the edited version. Just be sure to make a backup first!
  23. Let's make a deal. If you post how you use the 'chainloader' command in XP to pass control to the mbr of another partition, I'll show you how to do it under Vista :ph34r:/2008/7. jaclaz C:\SUSE.MBR="openSUSE 11.3"
  24. I know in XP is was possible to use the 'chainloader' command to pass control to the mbr of another partition. Is this possible with the Vista/7 boot loader, and if so, how?
