  1. Back when switchable graphics first came out and worked with XP, you had to change the default video adapter in the BIOS. Modern OSes (and drivers) allow the change to happen in the OS. This might also be the problem. See in your BIOS if you can change your video adapter.
  2. Good you got it fixed! Sometimes when this happens Windows will actually show a message at login about profile corruption or use of a Temporary account, or sometimes the username is actually Temp.
  3. See if this thread helps any: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/154025-connecting-a-windows-98-and-windows-7-through-a-network/
  4. There doesn't appear to be XP drivers on HP's website. Can you post the Hardware ID of the Intel video card?
  5. It sounds like the main user account is corrupted. When this happens, Windows will log in with a temporary account. Look at the possible next steps here: http://superuser.com/questions/138402/temp-profile-used-when-user-logs-in
  6. For all the Windows 10 Upgrade (from Win7) testing I did, I was never asked to log in or create a Microsoft account. So the local account from Win7 was the default account then in Windows 10. Maybe it has to do with situations like that?
  7. The yellow triangle means something. If you look at the properties of the device, what is the code number in the Description box? When using a notebook with multiple video cards, make sure that you are installing the Intel Mobile driver. The desktop driver will install on a notebook but won't work properly.
  8. Noel, the ID there is related to your MS account. If you log into Windows 10 using a MS account, the ID is apparently written into the registry in that location. Are you logged in as a local or MS account to yours?
  9. In your view, does the Surface Book (also) offer no competition for Apple? --JorgeA I think the Surface Book is intended to be competitive towards Apple notebooks. Whether it ends up being successful is another story.
  10. Welcome to the MSFN!
  11. There are multiple levels of notebooks in the market right now. 1 cheapies 2 mid-range 3 designer 4 gaming/engineering 1 and 2 there is not really any money to be had. These are popular products due to their cheap cost, often for people who want to just go online or buy something for their kids. Due to the amount of competition in the market on this end (and adding in Chromebook and tablets) the prices on these are relatively low. This means that the profit per system is quite low and is also why most are bundled with crap/trialware. When an end-user decides to buy after the trial, the OEM gets a royalty payment. Designer notebooks are the ones that fit into the part of the market that Apple has a grip on. This is also where the Surface Book falls. While other OEMs do sell notebooks of this type, they cannot compete with Apple. The gaming/engineering notebooks are the only ones where a good profit is made. These are the $1-3,000 systems with multiple CPUs, tons of RAM and expensive video cards. OEMs make their (notebook) money with these systems. So I do not see the Surface Book as being any sort of competition or war against the OEMs at all.
  12. The Administrator account already exists. Name the account you are creating something different.
  13. This is from a guide on how to connect your new Honeywell Thermostat to a wireless network. If said SSID has been present "for a while" then it is likely a case where a technology is enabled by default where it probably shouldn't be. Maybe it's a case where the user never did the Wi-Fi Setup but just hooked it up and figured they didn't need to if they were only going to use it "manually"? Of course, that is possible. Now consider this one example and apply it to all the other network-integrated devices that is being sold. What percentage of those are being setup (not to mention secured) properly?
  14. You should be using the Lenovo recovery media to install Windows 7 and not some other source. No.
  15. You don't need any of that. Just set Reseal to be Audit and it will log in with the Administrator account automatically. Also, don't change the password for the Administrator account.
  16. Well specifically: " Windows has a 256 character limit on commands ran from the RunOnce registry in HKLU or HKLM"
  17. The only time it is safe to remove a PCI sound card is when the power is off...
  18. Have you tried your answerfile against a clean source?
  19. Your second one ends like this: .\""but your first one doesn't.
  20. The CID is tied to your MS account. It would make sense that if you use your MS account to log into Windows 10, then that ID is stored somewhere in the OS. See here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174208-windows-10-deeper-impressions/#entry1109597
  21. This isn't news and isn't even related to Windows 10. Skydrive URLS have been formatted this way since it was released and OneDrive is the same. My SkyDrive bookmark I have in IE is from 2010 and has the CID in it.
  22. This video is primarily about how current laws in the US cause problems with computerizing everything and the IoT and how security is handled.
  23. 2. OOBE is set to always appear unless you provide answers for it. If you want the user account page to show, then do not specify the creation of a user account.
  24. Case in point as to why IoT is a bad idea... This is from a guide on how to connect your new Honeywell Thermostat to a wireless network. If said SSID has been present "for a while" then it is likely a case where a technology is enabled by default where it probably shouldn't be.
  25. It sounds more the fault of Chrome having certain capabilities. Having Aeroglass be written to disable it from working on Chrome is approaching it from the wrong angle. Is it similar to how on Windows 7 with default Aero enabled, some programs when they are opened will cause Windows to change the theme to basic? I always run into this problem with Fireworks and never found a way to stop it from happening... although I haven't looked into it in a while.
