MSFN Forum Webpages in Neverending Load Mode
Tripredacus replied to Radish's topic in Site & Forum Issues
Java and Javascript are two different things. -
Well consider it this way. When you get the free upgrade to Windows 10, you are then no longer using the OS that HP put on your computer. Even the recovery partition/software will no longer work. If the OS became un-usable, you'd still have to roll back to your previous version of Windows to run recovery. And if you can't (past 30 days, etc) then you're stuck. Even during my days at Sony (the 2nd time), if a customer had changed the OS they put on their VAIO, then the support was only limited to the hardware unless you were feeling nice/bored that day.

Here it is with ftp you can run from cmd. Note you actually type in the word anonymous when prompted for username. -
MSFN Forum Webpages in Neverending Load Mode
Tripredacus replied to Radish's topic in Site & Forum Issues
Each forum page may scripts from 3 companies: - Facebook (3) - Amazon (1) - Google (5) Any one of the scripts could load slow, causing this. In this case, your browser should show a "loading/waiting for" in the lower left saying what it may be stuck on. FWIW I don't get this happening here either, but I've seen it on other sites from time to time. -
Downgrades are at the time of purchase. In order to do a downgrade after the fact, the entire system would have to be returned to the effect that it was purchased with the wrong OS installed. Downgrades after the fact (of which I am uncertain why MS even decided to write rules for) are totally in the hands of the end user.

What happens when you uninstall the program that fortimon.sys is included in? It is difficult to say without a .DMP file. Also what OS are you using?

When you click on the speaker in the taskbar, then click on the slider, it makes a ding sound.

Do some websites out-right block connections from IE6 browser?
Tripredacus replied to Nomen's topic in Windows 9x/ME
On a related note, I recently set up a Vista computer for someone. IE7 does not work to even view the page to download Microsoft Security Essentials. It gives an operation cancelled message. In order to view that page you have to use Firefox or another browser. You also need another browser to update the IE version on Vista x86 as anytime you try to use IE to get it, you will be directed to download the x64 version. -
AsynchronousCommand runs on every logon

The video shows playing sound clip 1 in WMP, then stopping. Then play sound from Windows volume control. Then play another clip in WMP. Sound from clip 1 plays for 1-2 seconds before actually playing sound from clip 2.

Welcome to the MSFN!

There are things that can cause an activated OS to enter into Notification mode. When this happens, Windows usually is still actually activated. This behaviour is caused by certain system files being changed or corrupted, as indicated by a File Mismatch reported by MGADiag, among other things. Any reports of Windows becoming de-activated with MGADiag (or the relevant info for 8.1, 10) can't be automatically judged as being something nefarious happening with Windows or Microsoft.

Hard drive not explorable
Tripredacus replied to AmazingGecko's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
The partition detail tells us what state they are in. All 3 are marked hidden, with MBR type FDh/0xFD. https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Partition_Types This is the main reason why you can't see the contents from within Windows. Your common Windows partition (such as your C drive) is MBR type 07h. You can change this with Diskpart, however I do not know how safe that is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type This wiki page says that FreeDOS may be able to read these partitions.- 14 replies

I've had it happen to sites other than MSFN. It is possible it is picking up on keywords or something. I don't know, but I blame the email web/client in any case.

Hard drive not explorable
Tripredacus replied to AmazingGecko's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
OK do this next and past output. sel disk 1 detail disk sel part 1 detail part sel part 2 detail part sel part 3 detail part Have you tried right-click on each of the 3 partitions in Disk Management to see if you can assign a letter? You can even try it manually in Diskpart, example: sel disk 1 sel part 3 assign Were these disks in a RAID array in your NAS?- 14 replies

Hard drive not explorable
Tripredacus replied to AmazingGecko's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
First thing you can try is to right-click on the 1858 GB partition and see if you can assign a drive letter to it. Otherwise, open an elevated command prompt and run these and post results. diskpart list disk (note the disk number the 2TB disk shows up as) select disk # (select the 2TB disk) list part list vol- 14 replies

Yes you can start a .cmd/bat but it needs to physically exist. Here are 2 examples that may be helpful. Multiple FirstLogonCommands http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139572-ask-your-seven-xml-here/page-4#entry951826 Set variable on 1, command on 2 http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139572-ask-your-seven-xml-here/page-5#entry953464

I have an idea of what causes this, as it happens to me as well with my non-aol email. I think it is because many times I use email to notify me of certain things but do not necessarily read the email. For example, when I get an email from a forum, I then make a note to visit that forum. What I physically do is just delete the email. Delete emails from the same sender without reading them enough times, appears to trigger something that indicates those emails are unwanted and then end up in the spam folder.

Pre-install of the old OS doesn't usually last this long. It would usually go like this: - Windows 7 pre-install EOS date (say 6 months after new version GA) - Windows 7 pre-install (OEM Facilitated Downgrade) EOS date 1 year after new version GA. From the get-go there was never an EOS date for either type of install, always set to TBD. Also, there wasn't a spanning downgrade available across 3 versions like there is now. You can get a PC with Windows 7 installed if you buy Windows 10 license. For example, you couldn't get XP installed if you bought Windows 7. Another consideration is the current hardware market. Whoever sets future plans for hardware in the backrooms of the tech industry may well deliver us computers that cannot use Windows 7. We are already seeing that with the Intel 150/170 chipset where the new USB causes Win7 install issues. Although this new thing (look up EHCI handoff) also impacts Linux installs like CentOS. I've already seen 1 motherboard where you cannot disable that setting to install/use those OSes.

Is it possible to add Google Search to all Windows context menus?
Tripredacus replied to jinkazama's topic in Windows 10
I see this as a 2 part problem: 1. You need to copy the selected text to the clipboard or store in a variable. 2. You need to put that variable in the search string. If you do not specify a browser to launch the URL, then your default browser would be used. Here is a sample Google url: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=notepad So the "hard" part is to determine how to get selected text to appear after q= in the URL. -
"Windows 7 will be available to buy for longer than Windows 8" Well really they mean 8.0, if you look at the sheet. Seriously no one pre-installs Windows 8 anymore since 8.1 came out. There would be no point to sell a PC with a fully-patched Windows 8 OS and the first thing the customer got to do would be to update to 8.1 through the Store.

At this time I don't think so. Even KMS licensed Windows 8.1 is still usable after it is out of communication with the KMS server for too long.
