adobe flash player renenders my mouse pointer "frozen"
Tripredacus replied to leoliver's topic in Networks and the Internet
There is a way to set your Flash player to prompt for storage. I don't remember where you can set this but I have that enabled myself. I agree that actually being able to click on the Yes/No is quite difficult. I don't have the problem of not being able to click other things tho. Regarding the 2 Flash players thing... There are separate plug-ins for IE or Mozilla browsers. If you have both open you can see the separate plug-in containers running in Task Manager. I do not think they are conflicting. -
Is there a way to reserve Win 10's without IDENTIFYING the machine
Tripredacus replied to crashnburn4u's topic in Windows 10
I can't say for certain. I doubt it is actually tied to the license and more or less just enabled on that current installation. So reinstalling Windows would make it so you didn't have the reservation anymore and you could prob get GWX to install and prompt for it again. -
This thread is for software or drivers that one would reasonably suspect should work on Windows 10.... For example, it may have worked/installed on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, but doesn't install/run on Windows 10. Also this is for any Windows 10 builds 10240 (RTM) and newer. So far I have found one program that does not install: Norton Antivirus 2014

One Note trying to open when connect to a remote Terminal Server
Tripredacus replied to ardjanzen's topic in Microsoft Office
So these Win7 PCs do not have One Note installed? What about Office? -
Do you already know what this device is?

No floppy drives you say? Something to test! Regarding C drive, it seems Windows can handle the letters well enough* nowadays. Most of the headaches regarding what letter the OS was using was with older versions of Windows. *except for the habit of Setup putting boot files on other physical disks or USB keys.

Is there a way to reserve Win 10's without IDENTIFYING the machine
Tripredacus replied to crashnburn4u's topic in Windows 10
I believe that during the reservation process it asks for an email address. I'm not sure but it also isn't mandatory. The reservation I did couldn't possibly be accessable as I neither registered, nor kept that OS installation around. How can I explain... I can't get my reservation because I formatted the hard drive about 5 minutes after making it. -
Two complaints so far, both pertaining to Audit Mode. 1. Start Menu does not work. Fortunately the right-click on the Windows logo still works, as well as Win+R. 2. MS removed the Change user and Power options from the lock screen. This means if the PC goes to sleep then you must fully remove power in order to boot back into the OS.

The biggest pain I ever dealt with when trying to get a version of Windows to boot from another drive letter, was software or drivers. Either they were hardcoded to install on C: and you couldn't choose another installation location, or some part of the software was hardcoded to look in the C drive.

Is it possible to 3d print a Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment to keep startup costs down?

Yes/no. There is an RTM build (DVD image) that the PC Maker gets and there are "hotfixes" that come out post RTM date/pre GA date that need to be added to a Windows OS that is deployed to a PC. However, MS does not go about and update that DVD image. So to me, that is still the RTM version. This isn't even anything new. Most of the time, the hotfixes are for things no one notices. One example of a post RTM/Pre GA hotfix was to correct this behaviour: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158189-netcfg-log-files-in-system32/ So it really isn't anything new, its more likely that no one wrote about it or was interested in it before.

Noob Question - Slipstream with Stand Alone installers?
Tripredacus replied to Myagi's topic in Windows 7
If you mean the updates that you download from the Update Catalog that are just .EXE and not .MSU files, then I don't know. I usually just ignore those. i know it is annoying that you still have updates left to get. One possible way is to grab those updates manually from Audit Mode, then make your image. Be warned, sometimes a conflict may occur and cause the OS not to boot. -
Windows OS ISOs are not redistributable. Link to that site has been removed from your post.

The only thing that's really not an incremental improvement would probably be the apparent ability to stack VRAM. Example: You have GTX 980 Ti's in SLI. Normally the machine only sees 6 GB of VRAM because each card is using its own VRAM. However, with DX12 this would become 12 GB of VRAM... apparently. DirectX 12 will add new capabilities that game developers can make use of to make graphics "better" however it is MS who restricts which OS can use DX12. So yes you can potentially get better graphics in Windows 10. The same was true of how Oblivion had better graphics on Vista than it did on XP but that was only because DX10 was only available on Vista. It is a way for MS to force gamers to use the newest OS if they really want to play some new game.

The word "better" is a word of opinion. I'd like to know what made someone say it is "better" (than what) at gaming.

Windows 10 RTM Unattended

That is referring to the TH1 build that the Insider Previewers use. -
Windows 10 RTM Unattended
Tripredacus replied to Orsi's topic in Unattended Windows 10/11 Installation
Specifying an invalid language shouldn't generate a bugcheck. Is your Windows 10 image natively in that language? The stuff I am seeing is that RTM is en-US and you add a LIP to get other languages. Is that what you did? Also try just using en-US locales and see what happens. I have to say, I have had mixed results with using an unattend file while installing. My first attempt caused a 0x80070017 error (bad media) but install without XML worked fine. Then reinstall with XML worked fine. That was with Win 10 Pro x64. I haven't gotten to test Win 10 Home yet. -
It is usually the case that the build at RTM is what ends up being released at GA. There may be some additional updates made available however.

What if you paid 20 bucks to delete your profile ....
Tripredacus replied to jaclaz's topic in Technology News
Even if you were to pay actual money, there would be no garauntee that your information had actually been deleted. -
The new default wallpaper is pretty cool tho.

I feel win 9's gonna bring us a "surprise" like metro
Tripredacus replied to aviv00's topic in Microsoft Beta Discussion
I didn't know that was in question. -
RegisteredOwner seems to be available in any pass. The documentation doesn't say so you might need to experiment. If it were me, I'd first put it in Specialize. IDK about Mysysprep. One way I know of people using the Serial number from SMBIOS is using a VBScript that runs on first boot. It would be nice if MS made it so someday you could read from SMBIOS and set things in the XML. I'm surprised we haven't seen this yet as many companies would certainly use it.
