  1. That particular site uses Dreamweaver's default rollover script. Either way, Firefox doesn't see the composite images as being "loaded" as they do not show up in the media view. The only way to get Firefox to do it is to save as webpage complete, then download each individual composite image and put into the files folder. That won't give you a single file to use like an MHT.

     

    It looks like you can use wget as well.

    I know of other programs that can scrape content off a site, but I don't know how to get them into a single file. Maybe there are MHT or MAFF editors?

  2. It looks to be that your application is expecting a certain version of (at least) MSVCR120.dll and you don't have that one. I would run Depends on the program to see what it complains about. Also, run Procmon on Stella.exe at launch to see what its search order for MSVCR120.dll is. If the first place to look is the home or working dir, you could put the correct version into that folder and no effect anything using the one in the Windows folder.

  3. It is most likely that the INF you injected into your image does not support the actual hardware. In my own usage, I will verify what the storage controller HwID is before attempting to add drivers. There are multiple ways to do this:

    1. Install an OS on it and look in Device Manager

    2. Boot to DOS and run PCISCAN. If the device does not show up or is virtual then...

    3. Boot with Make_PE3 (or alternatively a ChrisR project) and use the Device Manager.

     

    Verify the HwID in the INF, inject the INF.

     

    I do believe, that WinPE will let you run drvload on a storage driver without requiring a reboot. You can test your drivers using drvload and then use diskpart to list disk to verify you have found the correct driver.

  5. I have seen some instances where a password will expire after 30 days. Which is why I keep this little command around:

     

    wmic useraccount where "name='UserName'" set PasswordExpires=false

     

    However, I have not seen this happen on any systems I have personally used, just client PCs. I also do not use blank passwords.

  6. I haven't used this myself, but the SDK documentation implies that the path is where the image is being applied to. So the partition you are applying to would need some sort of extra space beyond the size of the image. As for how much space is used, I'm not sure how you could tell. I could be wrong in my interpretation of the help topic. :unsure:

     

    Help topic from MSDN (matches content in the SDK helpfile)

  7. I haven't seen this problem, at least here. How many hours is it off by?

     

    I have had this problem on other sites before, but I just change to whatever time zone makes the board time match my PC time.

  8. I always wondered about the photos people can take where you can see the milky way. On some nights I can see a "blur" in the night sky that I suspect is the galaxy edge. I can see stars fairly well in the city. I used to hang around at an observatory, but it was at a time before I knew viewing the galaxy was possible.

  9. It is possible that something is incorrect within the construction of the system, or that the power supply isn't 100% ok. I don't want to use a power-outlet comment as I don't know what country you are in. But in the US, just because we have outlets with a ground plug doesn't necessarily mean that the plug is grounded. But I don't think that is a problem.

     

    I did a fair amount of unplugging and replugging things in yesterday (relocated equipment to another room) and I also can often see a little spark or hear a sound when plugging things in. This is because the outlet is active and it is a natural phenomena that the electricity will jump that gap on insertion. HOWEVER, I do not get zapped. That is the real concern, not that you can see a little spark or hear a sound.

     

    I wouldn't recommend a towel, cloth or paper. You would want to use anything rubber, even one of those rubber things you use to help you open jars. :w00t:

     

    But that is just a work-around. What is the environment like where your systems are? Do they sit on carpet?

  10. The power plug specially makes sounds when I try to insert it correctly, and touching the cable gives me shocks.

     

    Well that certainly isn't good. Does it do this connected to any outlet? Do other power cords connected to those outlets do the same thing?

  11. I've heard that CFLs have had greater lifespan if left on 24/7 and that their "early failure" is due to turning them on and off. I heard about it on the radio, and I haven't researched it myself. I can say that the one I have installed in my back hallway has been on 24/7 (barring power outages) for the past 5 years or so. But the other ones that are in the switchable lamps have been replaced more than once during that time.

  12. There is the potential of electrical damage with any of these plugs, primarily the power. It DOES happen but is usually a rare occurence.

     

    The only real problem you'd likely run into is those one or some times of not inserting or removing a plug at the proper angle.

  13. Well that link wasn't cited, as Tow users should have marked. I don't think I've used eSATA before, except for accidently plugging a USB mouse into it.... And I'm skeptic of that 50 connections thing with a standard SATA port. I've surpassed that on many boards, cables and hard disks. The only casualties have been some HDDs where the plastic around the connector breaks, meaning the locking clamp has nothing to grab on to.

     

    When hardware designers do these tests, they probably aren't using people. So I'd guess that it was on average 50 connections before the robot tester would break the connectors. :)

     

    Anyways, I think these values relate to physical tolerances of the plastic or metal.
