    USB _________ (fill in the blank)

    in The Poll Center

    Posted · Edited by Nephilim

    well it would be USB-Stick for me here in germany. but we always have the dumbest names for thing just imagine what we call "mobile / cell phone" .... it is actually "handy" and that isn't even a translation.

    actually "pen drive" will be what most stores will call it here, but "usb stick" is more common

    just take a look here

    Problem AFTER adding users

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    One question comes to mind: What groups have the users been added to?

    If you are unsure what exactly your users are ("Users", "Administrators") you may verify that at "Control Panel" -> "Adminstrator Tools" (Title may differ) -> Computer Settings (May be different aswell) and there you go to "Local Users and Groups".

    multilanguage windows

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    No I was talking about an SP2 for MUI. The page you link only translates problems for WMP and Movie Maker etc. But the "Security Center" and the "Wireless Wizard" will still remain in english!! Atleast that's what I caught roughly reading the page ;-)

    But I don't know anything for sure ATM.

    multilanguage windows

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    There is something that is called "Multilanguage User Interface". I don't know about the prices in other countries, but in germany a Windows XP pro MUI version only costs about 4 Euros more than a standard XP pro licence. I am using this kind of installation at work and it works perfectly fine. It works like this:

    • Install Windows XP pro (english)
    • Install any language pack you like (I can't find a list, but you may start looking here:
      Windows XP Home and Professional Editions)
    • Set your regional settings to the standard language (this is a per user setting, although you may define a default language)

    Microsoft says that merely all languages that are available at these 4 cds will change 98% of all text boxes. I can confirm that for german, englisch, polish italian and spanish. A great thing to do, but be careful with service pack 2 as there is a lot of new text in it. I heard that MS will be releasing the MUI version a month later that SP2 which means that it will be appr. at the beginning of september!

    P.S.: BTW, Office 2003 also features this MUI installation. Other programs and tools, may set their language within the registry for CURRENT_USER. So there you have you MUI installation!

    Questions about Outlook Web Access 2003

    in Microsoft Office

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I just noticed that there is a nice piece of Software that is called "Outlook Web Access 2003". I tried to google for some information and it seems that I need an Exchange Server running. Is that true? Could anyone tell me what I really need to get this thing working? Do I need a server or such? The thing is that I would like to read my E-Mails when I am not at home.

    Thanks in advance,

    The Best anti-virus

    in Malware Prevention and Security

    Posted

    I am using Kaspersky ATM, although I am already thinking about switch again. I don't like NAV's patch behaviour, although I am not able to tell you why ;-)

    Kaspersky seems to be a very good AV program, but it is anoying to see my hardisk working overtime at every windows startup. I need to wait 5 minutes before I can even think about using my computer, which is kind of odd as I am using a notebook. A quick workaround is sending my NB to hibernate, but I usually forget to do so ;-)

    Problems w. Agere Modem (unattanded install)

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    I think the problem is that Agere has written such a bad driver that windows doesn't want to recognize it as driver for the modem. I already tried everything of what you said, but nothing worked.

    Furthermore I think that "DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore" is not the right place to start. Sure Windows will not automatically install an unsigned driver, but the driver isn't just unsigned it's "inappropiate" as far as Windows thinks. Although it works very well when forced to be installed.

    Problems w. Agere Modem (unattanded install)

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    Yes it has! Why?

    Whether I install using the setup routine, or if I use the OEMDriverPath version with my unattended installation, it doesn't make the slightest difference. Windows will add the driver to its drivers library but won't install the driver properly. The device manager will show "PCI Modem" with an exclamation mark. If I update the driver then it will work fine, although windows tells me something like "the driver wasn't written for this hardware. do you want to continue? (y/n)"!

    Website about virus and worms statistics?

    in Malware Prevention and Security

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I have no idea where to ask this on MSFN, so I though "Windows XP" would be as good as any. If I am at the wrong forum, I would like to excuse and ask a moderator to move this thread.

    Okay, now for my real question: I am currently writing an article about computer viruses, worms etc. and therefore I would you to ask if there is a website with statistics about those things. A friend of mine came across one a little while ago, but doesn't remember where and how.

    Is there anybody out there knowing some page like that? I already tried to google that up, but after 3 hours I am completely exhausted now!

    Thanks in advance,

    Regtweak, WMP9, and Privacy pompts, oh my

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    I have a theory on this:

    If you set the value at the HKEY_USERS\.Default it is the default value for all users that will be added in the future.

    If you set the value at the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software it is, as it says, applied to the CURRENT user. If you add this registry entry during setup, you will most likely set it for the Administrator account, if for any at all.

    Well I haven't tested this, but I think, this could actually be correct. I will try to verify this with my current unattended installation, but this could take a little while. I would appreciate it if you could post your results if you are faster than me.

    P.S.: Well atleast I answered :)

    Program to Do all of the unattended stuff.

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Well I think that would be a great idea, too. But you know these programmers everybody is unsatisfied with the otherones doing and they cannot get along with each other. ;-)

    I think the biggest problem would be to find a common programming language. Some stuff is written with .net, most likely C#, others is not. I have heard that some other stuff is Visual Basic and maybe some is even written in Delphi. The problem is, that you cannot mix these things.

    When to copy wpa.dbl?

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I am currently trying to get an OEM version of WinXP pro Sp2 to install unattendedly. Besides some small things everything runs smoothly by now, but there is one bigger thing that I'ld to you guys about:

    I would like to automatically activate my installation. I already tried to place the wpa.dbl into the $$\System32 folder of my cd, but it appears that it will be overwritten during the installation process. So my question is at what point of the installation process can I copy this file, without it being overwritten again?

    Thanks in advance,

    Nephilim
