To my knowledge there are 2 installers; one for IE (_ax) and one "non IE" (Firefox, Chrome, etc...). Each is for both x86 and x64. If there is any reason they went from 2MB to 20MB in a few years, this might be one (not that Adobe needs any ).

Submix, as you state yourself earlier, he's using Outlook, not OE. OE does not support pst files and is very different from Outlook, so your 5 points plan does not apply. He's following a Microsoft procedure,not "some sort export/import method". He has a pst, to begin with, that is not from OE either. The article he links to is all about Outlook 2010, so I guess he's (now) using Outlook 2010.

I don't think you can show (read "stop on") the "Welcome Screen" with only one active user and no password. You'll have to enable Secure Logon instead of "Welcome screen". Run "netplwiz" and check the Advanced pane.

I don't know where you get the link from. Here ? http://www.mdgx.com/drv.htm

OK, so "it empties" only refers to the fact it takes time to move all items from one pst to the other but it's you that do it. Have you checked in the properties of the old pst (Advanced) if it says "Outlook Data File (97-2002)" ? There must be a reason why Outlook won't deliver mails to that pst.

Maybe the old pst is a "non unicode" pst ? I'm still not sure what you mean by "the old one empties". Is it emptied by Outlook itself without action from you?

If you have the files, then what is the problem? Is it just that you haven't tried anything yet? Outlook Express has an Import function that lets you do exactly what you ask about. It's pretty simple. It all depends on the version of the OS and of the program you want to get on with (WinXP, Win7, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird...). You need the .wab file as well (Windows AdressBook).

If the 1st screen is really all you see, you need to get into Bios and to reset the configuration.

There might be a problem with nLite's EULA as well. That one says nLite is "for personal use only". What you describe as a computer "coming in" looks commercial use to me. This forum has a consensus of respecting this part of the EULA and has always refused to give support to people using nLite in a professional environment. Feel free to say if I'm mistaken.

50 posts should suffice to swap a PSU.

Can you link to the said "How To" so we can understand what it is about ? What do you mean by "it has created a new .pst and is filling up that one from the original"? Is it transferring data from one to the other? What do you mean by "Outlook Files" directory?

How many times can you start Outlook "for the first time" ? If AutoArchive is activated, Outlook will create an archive pst in your profile, until you tell it to auto-archive to an other pst or to not auto-archive,

I have the same outcome on a normally working Win7. I'm not sure what your problem is at first (I mean why you need to run that command). There are some solutions to this error on this page.

Is it related to the OutlookExpress version or is SP3 too big in diskspace?

You meant this ? http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171540-xp-eol-post-sp3-updates-downloader-udc-released-xdottk/#entry1087651

No, the usual suspect here is the PSU. I'd think a MoBo with leaked capacitors would still show some signs of life, but it may depend on which ones are busted and how bad.

There seems to be a typo in your link as it adds "%C2%A0" at the end of it. (It works if you remove it)

I once had a notebook which network card would not work at cold boot. Warm boot F10 to Bios (HP) then Ctrl+Alt+Del would have it working. You can imagine how much reboots it tooke me to find this out... I "solved" the problem surely more than 10 times by reinstalling the driver, updating the bios, trying with/without docking station, trying from WinPE...I was getting mad, it was always working after reboot, of course but for hours it felt so random!

This is not clear from the description. He could test and restart (once fixed) a few times more to see if it has to do with temperature or power laziness. What I mean is that it might happen again (one in 4 times?) when warm. What you could also try is to let the PC on Bios screen for a minute or two before starting XP to see if "warming up" really helps.

You'll need to make a bootable USB drive that has tools that allow you to launch a repair of Windows7. Did it just happen out of the blue or is it following a "smart move"? You also need to know if the system was running a 32 or 64bit Win7 and have a DVD or an iso available. There might be easier solutions (a WinPE on USB could be enough) but I can't say with the info that we have for the moment.

"POS Ready" is a flavor of Windows XP, like you have "XP Embedded" or "XP MCE". POS Ready continues to receive security updates while it is officially not the case for "Windows XP" (that Microsoft would like the world to ditch). It appears those updates are applicable to the XP most of us still use. You do not need POS Ready but you might want those security updates. The "trick that is included" probably allows you to get those updates as if they were meant for your system.

Yes.

Try running DDU in SAFE MODE to remove your drivers. After reboot, Windows might even let you use the card (as "standard VGA") at higher than 800x600.

If ... if ... if any. That surely excludes major additions like the OP's suggestions.+ "marketing suggestions" ??? nlite is free and its market (and its forum) is pretty dead.

Try these steps first (this is for Win7 but the key is probably the same for XP).
