[Vista Firewall fails to load.]

legolash2o I'm quite convinced that's the dependency, will be trying it later tonight.

[Vista Firewall fails to load.]

It's been thru restart, yes.

The firewall service was autostart to begin with. I didn't set it autostart, as you can see from session.ini no removing/tampering in that area.

[Vista Firewall fails to load.]

I just reviewed my session again and still can't find anything else that could be the cause. Can't possibly be IIS or Windows SAT... I'm beginning to be convinced WFW is dependent on ICS.

[Vista Firewall fails to load.]

I actually discovered it when I tried to enable Remote Desktop. It failed and complained that Windows Firewall is not running, therefore it cannot auto config remote desktop.

Next, I confirm it is set to autostart, but currently not running. I manually start it, failed with error code 5.

[Vista Firewall fails to load.]

I created an iso using vlite 1.0 final using the session.ini below, and Vista Firewall fails to load. Service-specific error code 5. Could it be ICS that is needed?

[pls; How can I get Remote Desktop with Vlite]

morglum,

Your instructions allows him to run the Remote Desktop CLIENT, but I think he wants to run the server.

[Windows 2000 change motherboard w/ diff ATAPI]

In XP I'm able to accomplish just that, by pre-planting 3x or 4x generic ATAPI driver files on the system, merge a registry file, then power off. Boot with the new motherboard, and it goes thru the process of detecting and the new ATAPI interface and loading drivers for it.

Does anyone have the necessary .reg file for Windows 2000 to merge with?

I have tried something that I read about on the 911CD forum, but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, does anyone have a working process that can allow you to change the ATAPI drivers offline using DOS or Linux, as oppose to while the OS in question is up and running. on the old motherboard.

[Flash Creation]

I've used SWish and it seems to be nice. Didn't realize OpenOffice has flash creation capability. Will have to take a look at it when I have time. Is it possible to just install the flash program w/o the office part?
