I thought only the ISO was pulled, not the update itself.

I have seen in XP before (on an EEE PC) where if you set a 4:3 resolution on a 16:9 display, the desktop will scroll. A better analogy for anyone who doesn't understand this behaviour, it is akin to using a VM or windowed RDP session where your own resolution is not tall enough to display the session at full screen. I wonder what exactly is being displayed in Win98? Take a full screenshot in the Win98 and we can see what resolution it is actually using. It doesn't make sense to say you have a wider display with a 4:3 resolution on Win98 than XP. It should be the same.

Well, I downloaded an iso through the Media creation tool. Are there different isos somewhere? Yes there are ones on the VLSC. The other one you can make from your own using OEM System Builder or Retail media. I don't know if there are MSDN versions.

Have there been any good tests of running HOMM3 in a VM? It is still a 2D game so it shouldn't run into the problems you sometimes see regarding video drivers. It wouldn't hurt to try at least. I was able to find some reports of the GOG version of the game works on Windows 10, but that would require re-purchasing the game.

jmonroe, our developers can make and post what they want. You don't have to use it. Also your signature is too large. Please see our forum rules for guidelines. You can post the specs (and pictures if you like) of your computer here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/67112-post-pictures-and-specifications-of-your-computer-here/

The ADK works fine with the usual releases of Windows 10, just not the free upgrade ISO.

The BIOS related boot entries may be used by Windows in Advanced Startup. If Windows 8+ is installed onto GPT disk, you can instruct Windows to restart into the BIOS/UEFI setup automatically. You can see the relevant option here: UEFI Firmware Settings

I wish it were true that Server OS couldn't be used on Desktop boards and vice-versa. Would make my job a lot easier. Generally, there isn't much difference between the two. The only big ones would be video and audio support. And don't confuse what works with what a company may support. Overall, the one we can say generally won't fly would be Notebooks with Server OS. A couple of clients have had this thought cross their mind since Xeon support has been made available on gamer models. Fortunately, most of the other add-on software needed for notebooks refuses to install or work properly on server OSes.

Welcome to the MSFN!

You can't use ESD because DISM can't mount it. I suspect MS made the free upgrade into ESD just because it can't be serviced by DISM.

A lot of people use it because the only way they know to buy a computer is go to a retail store.

From your dpc.txt, the ones on high end are relating to these: - networking - usb - hard drive - McAfee

When a raster image is shrunk and then saved, the now unused data is deleted from the file. This is why you can't resize then afterwards. There are *some* cases where the information is retained but typically unavailable. For example, Program1 can read this data and the image can be resized in Program1 (or only if in the native format) but cannot by other programs. A practical example of this behaviour is with Fireworks PNG files (as a vector format) can be re-opened and changed in Fireworks but not by other PNG capable programs like Paint or Photoshop. Image (like video) upscaling does exist and is described here: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~raananf/projects/lss_upscale/paper.pdf But since you are relying on a program to enlarge the image for you, results may vary. For use on a webpage it may not be ideal because you can see the blending effect up close. Same would be for photo printing, but poster printing may be acceptable as long as you don't get to close. However, some people are more sensitive to image quality than others. An example is that some can live with connecting a VCR to an HD TV but others cannot stand it and would insist on using a VCR on an SD TV or maybe using an upscaler on an HD TV.

The install.wim from Media Creation cannot be serviced with DISM (or related API) as they are ESD files.

I mean, I think you can with SBS or similar OS. The user's complaint of not being able to stop the OS from going online prior to first boot up is wrong too. You just disconnect the Ethernet cable (or use a private LAN) and choose skip when asked to connect to a wireless network. I do that every time when I do Win10 testing.

When was the last time Windows let you set a static IP in OOBE?

There are 2 methods I use for adding files. One is to mount the wim and put the files in there. For a quicker way sometimes I have files on a network share or copy from a deployed image in order to run. As for drivers, I only add what I specifically need in order to keep sizes down. Some others like to add driver packs for mass storage or LAN, especially if they are going to be using their WinPE in a repair shop type scenario and may not know exactly what hardware they are going to be running on.

Does Windows Update show the size of the update correctly? A lot of times I will see an update appear that is already in the image, but it will be smaller. For example, on Windows 7 images, SP1 may appear but be 4MB.

My install doesn't have fonts for that locale either. Also there is no appropriate localisation for DISM, which you can find in the Deployment Tools folder. I also checked my ADK 10 install but it appears to be English only.

It is the wrong DISM.exe. The one from the OS doesn't have /capture-image. In your AIK install, you need the DISM files from Tools\{arch}\Servicing. However you can also use the DISM from newer ADK too.

If you make your own WinPE, it will boot to a command prompt by itself. This is handled by the startnet.cmd where you can put in your own menu. For modifying a Setup boot.wim, I'm not sure. I never figured out how that worked exactly. For using a winre.wim, you can add custom actions to the RECENV menu, as mentioned here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/142990-installing-windows-7-from-recovery-partition/#entry918385

Perhaps due to all drivers having certificates, and Windows checks to see if certs are valid?

You should put words that are not yours into quotes. I can't tell what is your writing without them.

RocketTab may also be an extension added to your browser. What steps have you taken already? Malwarebytes should be able to remove this.

Try doing a capture with DISM instead.
