Take a look at this thread for determining booting speed issues. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/140247-trace-windows-7-bootshutdownhibernatestandbyresume-issues/

The fastest deployment I have personally seen is deploying an XPe image to an SSD using DISM took just over 40 seconds.

Windows 8.1 has not been RTM yet. It is likely it will be after this August 23rd date in this "report" http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-81-final-internal-testing-date-is-august-23rd-rtm-to-follow Its a misnomer (sic) in these articles that refer to MS as "shipping" stuff to OEMs. They don't ship anything anymore by default like they used to. If after something hits RTM you can special order it on physical media, but there is a delay of a few weeks. I don't know why anyone would need to order it since you can just download everything and make your own DVDs and CDs.

Office 2010 is a retail product. You will need to purchase it to get a product key. If you want to be able to use Office for free, consider looking into alternate products such as Apache's OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org/

Diablo 2? There are a couple things you can try. Set the properties of the shortcut Compatibility Options to Windows XP SP2, then Run the Video Test application. You can also try running the game in Windowed mode.

To do the booting you'll need a "server" of course. If you don't have a Windows Server, you can use Linux like PXELinux.

Windows 7 had this problem too with some updates. You didn't get an error from DISM on the CMD screen but buried in the DISM.log you'd find the error. Which updates are you specifically having a problem with?

1em = amount of pixels that the default font size of the browser uses. So if the browser you are using has a default font size of 16px, then 1em = 16px. So it is possible that ALL browsers are rendering the size correctly but some are using different default font sizes. I've always used px instead of em.

Some programs have an options to disable that from happening. What program is it?

At first it sounds like a virus, or a system that was cleaned from a redirecting virus. What is the operating system on these computers? (this isn't the forum for technical discussion)

Some guys on Technet are saying they are not getting this error when running ADK for 8.1 from Win 8.1 Preview as their OS.

Reviews on this aren't good. First it doesn't have NoScript and it uses TOR. Running Torrents through TOR will slow down the service.

I need to get myself a new phone, this one I have is becoming unreliable for day to day use. As long as this current phone survives, I may try to put Windows 98 on it after I get a new one.

I'm sure id Software would have signed off on it if Mozilla just asked for permission. Too bad. Also read some interesting thing about the Doom source code release. Apparently only a Linux version was released and the DOS version couldn't be released due to some copyrighted sound driver. https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM

Sometimes the virus is dumb... You could try to make a copy of taskmgr.exe and rename it and see if the renamed, copy is able to open.

It is a familiar issue and I seem to think maybe I had seen this problem a few years ago on XP. But I believe it was more of a "https never works" rather than it stop working after a few minutes.

WinRE in Windows 7 will locate where the Windows installation is, create Windows.old and copy everything into that directory. Then it will reinstall Windows using the answer file and the install.wim onto that partition. It doesn't change anything with the partitions, which would still allow WinRE to be run again. I've not seen a case where diskpart needs to be run prior to running setup.

Here is an example WinREConfig.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><Recovery> <FactoryRecoveryTool> <RelativeFilePath>..\..\setup.exe</RelativeFilePath> <CommandLineParam>/UNATTEND:X:\sources\UNATTEND.XML</CommandLineParam> <AdminOnly>No</AdminOnly> </FactoryRecoveryTool></Recovery>I never made any changes to ReAgent.xml, is that unmodified from the one that already exists? As far as the icon goes, you can't change it if you are specifying your custom tool to be Setup.exe. It just uses that applications default icon. Also remember that there are 2 setup.exes in winre.wim.

I thought I was being funny when I set my Android phone signature to say "Sent from my Windows 98 phone" but apparently such a thing is now possible! http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/tablets-in-the-enterprise/how-to-run-legacy-windows-with-limbo-for-android/?ftag=TRE684d531&s_cid=e101&tag=nl.e101&ttag=e101

Its a minor inconvenience for standard users, however it could be a problem for the mods if we need to view such a profile for some reason.

I will try to test after I reload this notebook and see what happens. Update: I confirm this behaviour on a notebook. Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 Firefox v23.0 using Flash Plugin v11.8.800.94 Chrome v28.0.1500.95 using whatever Flash plugin that is built in I set plugged in power settings to dim at 3 minutes, turn off display at 4 minutes, put computer to sleep at 5 minutes. I chose a relatively annoying 10 hour video on Youtube to test but I turned the volume down. And the display did not even dim and I let it run 15 minutes for each browser. Also to note that the wireless NIC drivers were not installed and using Ethernet connection. My Chrome at home should be the same version, but a difference is that I am using a 32bit OS. I can test turning off the monitor later, but I won't be changing my power settings to put the computer to sleep.

So. You said your OS ISO is English, but you are passing non-English values in the autounattend.xml. Change those to English, then use FirstLogonCommands to execute the command I put in post 5. Obviously the lang.xml needs to be in the image.
