you must resize the MSC in author mode and save it there. This works fine.

Use Dependency Walker to see which wrong DLL is loaded. This guide is for searching for missing DLLs, but the same way can be used to see which DLL is bad: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2010/06/25/analyze-application-failures-the-easier-way-with-dependency-walker.aspx

the ADK is the replacement of the WAIK and the new DISM has new features: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/153742-dism-improvements-in-windows-8/

You get this: // // MessageId: STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT // // MessageText: // // {Bad Image} // %hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. // #define STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT ((NTSTATUS)0xC000007BL) so it looks like a 32Bit DLL was installed were a 64Bit file is expected. When do you see this message?

ok, last time I only found links to the RTM WAIK. But now I'm only using the ADK.

I never change the sorting. But the size is saved inside the new MSC.

there was an update which includes WinPE3.1 WIMs, But MS removed it.

run DiagTools like HWiNFO, AIDA64, SiSoft Sandra or SIW to see which Graphic card you use.

which graphic card do you use?

yes, with XP you have admin rights. NEVER DISABLE UAC, 90% of the security vulnerabilities are caused by running with admin rights. So turn it on and use my workaround. I customized the Snapins once and if I reinstall I mount the WIM and copy the files in the WIM.

Win7 Starter is the most restricted edition and you can't really work with it. Get the Home Premium and you're fine for home usage.

You must run the MMC snapin in author mode, save the changes into a new MSC. Next you must take ownership of the original file and replace them in the System32 folder. Caution: This generates warning when you run sfc /scannow. It detects the files are damaged. I also gave it up, that MS stores the preferences in a better way. MMC needs to be replaced by a better way. It is simply too old (NT4 days) and unsable with UAC and TrustedInstaller.

this is afaik not possible. The loader must be outside the VHD. If you have an empty HDD, try this to boot from the VHD: http://reboot.pro/15815/

you still don't understand the UAC

I listen to the candidates of "The Voice of Germany"

you can install the programs or copy the portable tools wherever you want. It is only implemented to install 2 versions of the same tool (IE, WMP and 3 rd party tools which are 32 and 64Bit).

the old Theme is not GPU accelerated like Aero Glass, so glitches occur. This happened in older versions, too.

set LZMA2 and use a higher dictionary value.

use msconfig or AutoRuns to disable the Prefetcher and Intel driver utilitiies. I don't have any Intel board so I don't know why it shows up as IDE when you use AHCI (as shown in the picture)

The intel tool and ATI CCC are both .net tools which start slowly. And running such tools at startup slows down Windows a lot. I saw the issue with CCC on my system and removed it completely because of the slowdown. And loading drivers and tools (Intel) that you never use is not the best idea. The Adobe prefetcher is completely useless with a fast SSD. Any prefetcher makes no sense because the SSDs are so fast, so that Windows 7 also disables the Superfetch service if the WinSAT tool detect high HDD scores. I see the IDE/ATAPI because of this: AHCI would show up as SCSI\DISKOCZ. Can you show me a screenshot of the Device manager (expand the Controller node)?

under Vista/7 the order is unimportant.

Happy New Year!

ok and Happy new Year

The App-V fixes are only for App-V. For the Click & Run version MSFT releases different updates. So maybe in the future (when Windows 8 comes) you get updates for Office which may also include this fix. if you have a traditional HDD run the optimization from the other topic.

simply take the correct one http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28571
