It is possible that the game may have its own log files. What game is it? (Don't say Skyrim)

You have mismatched Path elements. Why is there two of them to start the object?

Have you looked into Event Viewer at the time of the freeze?

It would not be ports being closed. If a port was closed (80 or whatever) the browser should show a fail message immediately. Proxy settings in Internet Options only apply to IE and not Firefox. What type of sites fail? Is it all sites or is it just HTTPS, HTTP or FTP type connections? All three types of addresses should be tested, using domain names. Alternatively you should also attempt to connect to a website via IP address, such as http://74.125.200.102/ (this is Google.) This also works https://74.125.200.102/ but you should get an Untrusted Connection type message. Try disable any active protecting antivirus. What happens if you turn off your wireless and try to reproduce the problem with a wired connection?

Woah. The new Yahoo mail is really buggy and annoying. Maybe I will just install an old browser to see what it looks like.

Oh ok, I had seen other similar things while searching. This, but uses shortcut schenanigans: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/how-do-i-tweak-windows-explorer-to-open-in-a-directory-of-my-choosing/816/ All I can find is this type of thing, which I don't think would work for browse boxes generated by other applications. It may be possible to change the explorer shell path in the registry but that should be tested on another system before attempting.

A question came up about the background image in the Win8x PEs v4 and 5. In previous versions it was just a wallpaper type design but in PE4/5 it is a blue square that is either set to tile or stretch. Has anyone done any testing with getting a custom image to display and display properly? With PE4+ we can do a UEFI boot. Any PC that has GOP capable video will do automatic scaling of the display resolution which causes a headache for getting static background images to look correct. Even in the Gimagex HTA, the HTA background doesn't conform to the HTA itself on widescreen displays when booted UEFI. I did a small test to see if it was indeed no longer possible, as an MSFT CSG stated on Technet. Well it is definately possible! I only did the UEFI test so far and at least in that mode I believe it uses a "stretch" mode for the winpe.jpg. Here are those results: The original image ix 357x500 and it looks like the PE is designed to only accept a square image. It stretched it to the screen width but did a proportional resize. The top and bottom of the image are outside the boundaries of the screen. EDIT: I did a legacy test. It seems that using a square image would be best. I minimized the cmd window so I wouldn't have to edit out the connection strings.

Some beta version. The main page has an extra /div tag in it.

Birthday deluge coming up. Look out. B)

No, but I have (somehow) completely removed the Recycle Bin before! Anyways, I found this which might help: http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/8682-cant-remove-my-documents-windows-explorer.html

It is likely that the update may require some version of RDC 7 to exist on the system already. I looked with ProcMon but couldn't find where the check failed. It was also not in the update logfiles that Procexp showed WUSA.exe to be writing to.

Could you maybe test that? I'd be grateful since it's kinda difficult for me to test 64 bit software with my current setup. It does not work, but the stock install has RDC 6 on it.

I forgot to mention that the update I found, there is one available for Vista-based x64 OSes, which should work on 2008 SP2 x64 but not x86.

What are you doing when the bluescreen happens?

Sure, "someone" has the experience and the list of commands. It does not help, however, because we currently do not know what the original state was. Ideally, one would need another Surface to gather valid disk and BCD settings.

I didn't even hear of it. I was inside by that time of day... if the clocks in those videos are correct.

I've played that game where you are a bear driving in the woods. It is really strange.

I was able to find security updates for RDP7 client that lists Server 2008 SP2 as a compatible product, so there must be an update somewhere. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813347 However, in the catalog, it does not appear to have one for 2008 SP2.

To make matters worse, a DISK (in mathematics) is the surface area surrounded by a circle. This entire object (the DISK and the Circle) is called a DISC. Also Wikipedia says this: The terms we are used to as in Hard Disk Drive may even be outdated? Isn't the usage of Disk in that name referring to the platter itself and the drive is the mechanism that spins the platter? Of course now we have HDDs with multiple platters, so should it be Hard Disks Drive now? Either way, the only one that is really at fault is the SSD. It has no disks and it has no drives.

I had a test build yesterday to see what kind of drivers were available for Intel 81/87 chipset boards and (as expected) ran into problems. Has anyone else had any luck trying to get XP drivers for these types of boards? For my testing, I had no problem installing XP SP3 x86 on an Asus H87I-PLUS board. I did manage to find the video driver, Intel made GMA XPx86 drivers for DEV_0402. The newer Intel HD Graphics may or may not actually have support for others, such as teh DEV_041E mentioned here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171462-need-intel-hd-graphics-4400-driver-for-windows-xp-32bit/ Only thing about the Intel GMA drivers is that it will not install for the HDMI audio device DEV_2807. Chipset drivers will work, although I don't know about the installer since I just used INFs from my drivers archive. The rest of these I cannot find any XP drivers for* Realtek Audio VEN_10EC&DEV_0887 Intel I217 NIC VEN_8086&DEV_153B Intel USB3 VEN_8086&DEV_8C31

I have my old drives from when my PC had XP in it and I used to have this problem. I had to take ownership of everything, as running applications as Administrator sometimes was not enough.

No problem "Newbie" - Tripredacus

Me neither... until NOW! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161318 It was the first one I found. I think we need more information... 1. What video card? 2. What operating system? 3. What power supply (might be needed, not sure) 4. What model display?
