See if this link works for you: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications

Seems a bit overkill. Seems to me that guy might do better unplugging his network cable. IMO NoScript and a hardware firewall is enough to stop just about anything from coming in.

Well vertical stands are novelty. I'm not sure how the ODD could be designed "wrong" or to not support that orientation. Even the ODD on the PS3 can go either way (and Sony sells a vertical stand for it and the PS2) and can the actual drive be that much different between the two devices?

Looks good

I'm sure there's a more official story behind it... http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsu/g/usb-1-1.htm

Well let me know if you find something to do with it!

Well what about your second AIO? I presume you didn't make either of them? We can't help you with warez.

Well how did you make the original one?

Seems OK to me.

I can't reproduce the youtube thing. I fixed your post by editing your post, cutting the link out, going into the advanced editor, paste it back in and save the post. But when I made a test post and pasted the link in the Quick Reply editor (not the full) it worked the first time. Also, I think "show all" is supposed to do that. I never use that tho, I always click the arrows on either side of the smiley bar to see the other ones.

AFAIK the UUID field can only be written to if the field is empty or is all FF.

It may depend on the board. But if you go in the BIOS, you may see a way to see events in "Advanced" if such a section exists. Although I have seen cases where the event logging isn't enabled by default. Also, I think you need to be clear as to what you mean by "shut down." Is it a normal Windows shutdown? As in, does it look like what it would if you chose to do a shut down through Windows? Or is the computer just turning off? If the computer is turning itself off, does it make any different kinds of beeps when you turn it back on? Such as maybe a French Police Siren sound?

Welcome to the MSFN!

I hate searching for things with Google. I wish they had an advanced mode that doesn't search for related terms and also supported boolean.

No what I mean is that the user wants to change the UUID for some reason, which means something is using it for a specific reason. I mean there may be some other way to accomplish taking care of whatever that problem is without fiddling with the BIOS. From how the post sounds, there is a valid UUID in the BIOS already, but he wants to change it to an invalid one. The only cases I can think of wanting to change to an invalid one is in an Enterprise environment where inventory or deployment systems will reject an invalid UUID as it is in the common blacklist. For example: http://capawiki.capasystems.com/display/CI4SU4HELP/Non-Unique+UUID http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/76198d2e-5957-4518-afd2-fe5ebee88dc0/getting-sccm-to-ignore-the-uuid

It may have set some different defaults when you flashed it. Unfortunately I am not familiar with Asus notebooks, but I suspect the combination of CSM settings were changed. I personally find Asus BIOS settings to be annoying/confusing and I don't know what they should be set for.

Ah well I would stick with Gateway BIOS. As for the sound, make sure it is enabled in the BIOS.

Your image has IE10 integrated. I already said on TechNet you need to remove the IEWelcomeMessage object from your answer file or else you will get this error. See here for reference: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/f1978c86-3639-489f-b105-5591e59325f7/setup-offlineservicing-error-windows-7-homepremium-sp1-64bit#8edd3366-26e9-4be6-9486-690cf1dfa0d2

Check Event Viewer for any errors. Also check and see if any events are logged in the BIOS event log.

F only does not mean not set. It is just an invalid UUID. If it were truly not set, a properly structured WMI query would fail the object check, aka there is no value in that field, or in other words a null return. And regarding changing items with WMI, you can only change operating system objects. Windows can only read enumerated hardware values. WMI is not so picky on generating an error when you try to write to an unchangeable field. It *seems* to work but as you note the value doesn't actually change. Yes the UUID is stored in the SMBIOS of the motherboard, hence why you'd need to either use a custom BIOS or have the appropriate SMBIOS editing tools. I am wondering if there is another way to accomplish what you are trying to do rather than editing that information on the hardware level.

It is definately possible to change the UUID on your own, but it comes down to having access to the correct tools. Gigabyte would probably be more likely to give you a corrected BIOS rather than the tools to write into the UUID.

Well the drivers are on Intel's website. I would not use their installers except for the chipset. For the other ones, I'd extract those packages with Winrar or 7zip and do the update drivers manually from Device Manager. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=Intel%20Desktop%20Board%20d865GLC You may need a BIOS update. They have a ton. I would look at the versions above the one you currently have, and look at the Release Notes to see if there are any Win9x specific fixes, or fixes for problems you may have encountered.

I know very little about this, so I did some search. Does this help any? Its from here: http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=235324 The only thing on MS about 8k I can find is refering to DOS. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/67321/en-us I checked that since in that forum thread there is a link to a 4k OS support article, but makes no mention of 8k.

Yes. Email for thread subs doesn't seem to be working. It does work for PMs and other things. See here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163472-ipb-update-july-2013-to-version-345-bugs-only/?p=1049063

Did you reboot after replacing the file?
