How? Sheer magic? jaclaz

loosely, C80003FA is more or less connected with "general" connectivity to the internet: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows/windows-update-error-80244016-8024402f-c80003fa#1TC=windows-7 i.e. it could be an issue connected with some settings in your antivirus/firewall/router, but it could as well due to improper configuration of some service in the OS. 8024000E on the other hand is more likely to be due to some (corrupted/modified/whatever) system files, my guess is that it is the cause of the other. Can you try running SFC and post (compressed in a .zip file) the resulting CBS.log? http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-run-system-file-checker-analyze-its-logs-in-windows-7-vista jaclaz

I guess that listing the "everything" you tried would be fairly longish, but you could - even without being verbose - provide some more details, "it does not work" means "nothing", you should have one or more specific errors which is important you report. Even "latest updates" mean very little, each update has a number/name which is/are the one(s) that fail? jaclaz

Which "Title" are you using for it? DId you try the nircmd.exe? jaclaz

I had the feeling that the devices were many, but I didn't expect this amount. http://opensignal.com/reports/2015/08/android-fragmentation/ Distinct Android devices seen this year 24,093 (Distinct Android devices seen last year 18,796) Particularly, the number of different screen sizes is (IMHO) a sign that the industry is gone insane, almost 200 different screen sizes! jaclaz

I don't get it. None of the commands contain switches (independently from if they do work or not). I would check (double check) if the file actually exist, "doesn't install" means "nothing" is the file found, does it run but errors out, what happens? Something *like* this may provide some more info @echo offSETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONSCALL :do_install "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\jre-8u51-windows-i586.exe"msiexec /i "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\7z920-x64.msi""%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\ClassicShellSetup_4_2_1.exe""%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\CyberLink_PowerDVD_Ultra_12.0.1905.exe""%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\Firefox Setup 19.0.exe"CALL :do_install "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\install_flash_player_13_plugin.exe"CALL :do_install "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\RocketDock-v1.3.5.exe"CALL :do_install "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files\setup.exe"PAUSErd /q /s "%WINDIR%\Setup\Files"del /q /f "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd"GOTO :EOF:do_installIF NOT EXIST %1 ECHO FILE %1 does NOT exist&PAUSE&GOTO :EOFECHO Running %1%1:GOTO EOFjaclaz

Yep . JFYI: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/07/preventing_the_software_defined_moronocalypse/ the drink driving analogy is nice. jaclaz

You use strange math (or English, or both). If you increase you SUM a quantity, if you decrease you SUBTRACT a quantity to what you have. Let's keep the 100 "base". If you increase that quantity by 100% you have 100+100*100%=200 the "increase" is the + sign If you increase that quantity by 200% you have 100+100*200%=300 ... The value of the increase is what you have after - what you had before, i.e.: You have now 300, you had before 100, the quantity was increased by 200, which you can express as percentage of the original 100 as 200%. If you decrease that quantity by 10% you have 100-100*10%=90 the "decrease" is the - sign. if you decrease that quantity by 20% you have 100-100*20%=80 ... The value of the decrease is what you have after - what you had before, i.e.: You have now 80, you had before 100, the quantity was decreased by 20, which you can express as percentage of the original 100 as 20%. "Shortening by" is not the same as "decrease". jaclaz

Well, if you use path or filenames with spaces you will need to wrap them in double quotes. The syntax for the -addoverwrite command is different if you use it "on it's own", like: -addoverwrite ExeFile, SaveAsFile, ResourceFile, ResourceMaskResourceHacker.exe -addoverwrite MyProg.exe, MyProgNew.exe, NewImage.bmp , bitmap,128, or as a ResHacker script: But a Reshacker script is intended to run multiple commands on a SAME file, what you want is instead seemingly to run a same command (or a few of them) on multiple files. You need to make a batch (or vbs or autoit or other scripting language) capable of running the reshacker program on a list of files (or on all the files inside a given folder) or capable of creating a number of Reshacker script files and then run them. If you provide an EXACT description of what you want to do and how you have the file arranged, then someone could assist you better. jaclaz

Well, your memory is not bad , only partial, the exact same happens not only for 2K, but also for NT 4.00, and - had you taken the time to read my post just above yours - you would have seen that one can use also a "virtual floppy". jaclaz

Actually there is not really-really a "Windows install". The whole point about the method by fujianabc that this tool automates/betters/etc. is that the Windows is not "installed" (i.e. "setup.exe" is not used) but rather a "generic/generalized" image is deployed. What happens if you actually choose "Safe Mode"? Does it continu to boot, does it freese, do you have (say ) a STOP ERROR, etc.? At first sight it seems like a driver or configuration issue of some kind. Describe your setup/environment and the actual hardware involved. (EXACTLY) including how you partitioned/formatted the hard disk. Check that the port to which you connect the USB hard disk are USB 2.0 (and not USB 3.0). Re-run the tool and just before clicking the "Setup" button press CTRL+s, which saves the settings to a WinntSetup.ini file and attach the file so that we can check which settings you chose. jaclaz

It seems like a few corporate users aren't happy : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/07/windows_10_auto_injects_itself_into_windows_7/ jaclaz

And if you look inside it, can you find an install.wim file? You need to either: a. mount the .iso to a drive letter using *any* "virtual CD" or "iso mounting" tool or "virtual disk" driver, IMDISK is advised: http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk or: b. open the .iso with any suitable tool like (advised) 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/ and extract the contents to a local folder on your hard disk. A good idea (generally speaking) when using these tools is to use simple paths, example: C:\mynice7iso\ and not a convoluted long path with spaces or strange characters in it. jaclaz

Well, time is different from chicken, it is the fourth dimension, and has no legs . By extending the properties of thiotimoline to the wait times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiotimoline they can well have you serviced BEFORE you actually asked for it, or in the case of the senior card, they are going to issue it for the baby the same day the pregnancy test comes out positive[1]. By analyzing the DNA of the couple and cleverly social engineering the data they got on them, they will be able to know if male or female and how you are gonna call the baby. There is already an underground movement making use of random generators for names of babies (from idioms) as a form of civil resistance, in a few years when you will meet an Aussie that will say to you Senderdownhughie or Shellbeapples it's not you that are not understanding, it may be the actual name. jaclaz [1] A new Law to make Wi-Fi connected pregnancy tests mandatory is in the works.

And now it is zigbee turn: http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/07/critical-flaw-ided-in-zigbee-smart-home-devices/ and let us not forget Insteon: https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-23/dc-23-speakers.html#Shipley jaclaz

Naaah lasers (or phasers) simply don't have the needed power, one will need photonic torpedoes : http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Photonic_torpedo jaclaz

Yep, an adapter (or stripping the original cable and soldering to it a USB connector) is needed: http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbox_wiring.html If you want to use a XBOX 360 you can try this derivative project: http://www.matt-land.com/xbcd/ or this one (Japanese page by our friend Backwingcat you'll need some patience and Google Translate): http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1104543.html The actual download page is dead, but the new one should be this one now: http://lavendy.net/special/driver/x360c/ jaclaz

What about: http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html jaclaz

Better than Windows 8.1? Very possible Faster/smoother than 7? Can you try performing this test? http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174160-guide-disable-data-collection-in-windows-10/page-2#entry1104539 jaclaz

Maybe what you remember is the nice thingy by IcemanND : http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/83960-utility-driver-backup/ jaclaz

No, as said I have no idea how the mechanism works now, the link is to how it used to work on XP, and historically MS never made things simpler than an earlier release, that's all, it may well be the exception that confirms the rule and - seemingly - the only simplification introduced since Vista times of course . jaclaz

Yep , that option is already in Windows Phone and in Windows 8: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/metered-internet-connections-faq I guess that our good friends down under (Australia) where metered connection is I believe very common will have an advantage, as long as they disconnect the lan cable and use Wi-Fi instead. Next useful tool (besides the nice one you mentioned) might be *something* that allows to include cable connected NIC's as "metered connection" . jaclaz

From what I can understand more "kind of ..." than anything else. A "better" article: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/07/new-attack-on-tor-can-deanonymize-hidden-services-with-surprising-accuracy/ including the reply/comments from Tor project leader Roger Dingledine and a link to the actual paper: http://people.csail.mit.edu/devadas/pubs/circuit_finger.pdf jaclaz

Yep jaclaz

Yes , of course, you are missing some "improvements in the overall Windows Update client" (whatever they are ) and, JFYI, that's "why it was released as Important" http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/archive/2015/04/14/windows-servicing-releases-april-14-2015.aspx jaclaz
