Are you trying to install IE7 from a standalone installer or from Windows Update? Have you done any fiddling with the registry, such as that method to make Windows Update think that XP is an Embedded OS?

Split out this whole discussion out of the original AeroGlass thread, as promised.

Your posts have been merged. See this part of rule 2a: Rather than replying to your own reply (within 24 hours), edit your previous post instead to add additional information.

In the Task Scheduler Library, you can select the appropriate task on the top and then look on the History tab. It allows you to see the success or failure of a task in an Event Viewer type look.

Now see, you said browsers don't matter. As a matter of testing, it does. If you can provide some browser versions, others might be able to see. And give some link examples so we can go there and see what could be the problem.

Reboot.pro is giving me Bad Gateway error today.

I am aware, My1, however your link was readily available for quoting.

It seems to be a scare article. I was certain that everything has millions of organisms living on or in it. Doesn't even the human body have tons of itty-bitty things living on the skin and in the hair?

There are two reasons why you get that place holder image. First is that it is in a typeface or language that your computer or browser cannot render. It doesn't have a character to display so it shows that. In the early days of Firefox, it would show a ? symbol instead. The other reason why this happens is if you are blocking scripts. Many websites rely on javascript being enabled on one or other domains in order to render the page properly. When they are blocked, these symbols will appear on the "vertices" of the menu function. This is only a more recent thing I've noticed. Since your picture is showing unknown characters grouped together, as in it looks to be sentences, I'd say it is reason #1. See here for a reference: http://superuser.com/questions/526680/why-only-some-unicode-characters-are-visible-on-firefox As for how to properly approach your solution we'd need to know what browser you are using, language/locale of your PC and a URL where this happens.

I seem to recall that Windows 95 could be installed in two ways. One, which I never did as the software available to me in my early computing days was the result of hand-me-downs and stuff found in the trash. So my way of installing Windows 98 is to install Toshiba DOS 5, then installing Windows 95, then Windows 98FE Upgrade. I had always heard that it was preferrable to install DOS prior to installing Windows 95, as it is possible to install Windows 95 on a blank disk. Is there any sort of different working in the DOS/95 relationship if DOS was installed first? Or is that just an old-wives tale?

If it is still the corners question (your last post in this thread) See the link in my previous quote and look for this word: RoundRectRadius

That seems to be common. Are you using SiB 1.7+? Tihiy had updated it with preliminary Windows 10 TP support, but I have a feeling he is not doing active development on those versions just yet. If you follow other's reports of using Win10, each new build seems to break something else. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163489-startisback-17/page-46#entry1089066

DriverPacks XP Mass Storage set has a match for VEN_1002&DEV_4380, which is ahcix86.inf, however the SUBSYS is not found. There is also one for DEV_438C, which is usable (does not limit with SUBSYS) and is called atihdc2.inf. It would appear there are 2 controllers in this PC and you may have been loading the wrong driver set. Then again, I downloaded these from Driverpacks in 2010.

I do not use your language, however the theory would be the same. So the website itself will close the browser window. Your program can wait for the window to close. And then once it is closed, it can then kill the iexplore.exe process before exiting.

BAD BAD BAD! It could have been anything. Make sure to specify what an attachment is next time! @OP, you say you have Windows 7 on there and it is OK. Can you post the HwID of the SATA controller? You can find it in Device Manager, under the properties of the device, Detail tab and a drop down will have Hardware ID. It will look similar to this: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_E0361631

Ideally, your usage of taskkill should be run from within the EXE itself, rather than potentially leaving something behind in Task Scheduler. Hopefully you won't run into a situation where this task runs when it shouldn't.

Judging from their past behaviour, I would expect the next version will be 9101010.

Welcome to the MSFN!

The only possible issue with running on 64bit is that your registry entries may end up in the wow6432node of the registry. This may or may not cause problems, it depends on how the software works.

Is this one of those "you must use this language and this method only!" type of assignments? I always hated those. Maybe the teachers hate those too when I would solve the problem using something else. Even today, if I were tasked with changing an IP address with VB, I would have no idea where to start. Well no that isn't true. The first step is always to determine what is permitted within the network. If I do manage to change the computer's IP, what am I allowed to change it to? Do I really need to use something more than netsh? What it the address range for accessing this or that network? If I change the IP to something in that range, will it cause a duplicate IP and make some other device loose their network access? We can't provide a solution to your programming assignment or fix your code example.

Well something is rechecking it. It could be a network security program or antivirus, or something in scheduled tasks. I have heard that even malware can do this. I read maybe 3-4 different ways to get around it on this other site: https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/threads/15558/cant-turn-off-proxy-server-in-my-connections-setting

I agree. Someday I expect to move to Imgur myself, Photobucket gets annoying at times. Either way I see this concept in two ways: 1. Uploading tons of (mainly) 1 time use things to the forum only takes up server space and could make it slower. 2. Uploading images to an image host allows me to use images on other sites if need be. There have been times where I had used a picture here and months or years later I have found a reason to post it on another site too.

There are indeed 2 Desktop.inis. One is in your profile, one is in the public profile. Having them both appear indicates you have set to show hidden system files in Folder Options.

There is a topic in Site & Forum issues for this.
