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?

If the manufacturer of the computer's name is on the Windows COA, it should activate on its own if you run a recovery.

Also stop making duplicate topics.

Oh yeah, every component should have that in them.

It looks like it will replace the existing one. Also I find that you also need to have the photo viewer program installed as well since they share components. There is a package called Windows Essentials 2012 that apparently has everything included, but installing that will remove Windows Live Mesh. So if you use Mesh then take that into consideration. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/essentials-2012-release-notes?T1=winlivemoviemaker http://www.liveside.net/2012/08/07/windows-essentials-2012-microsoft-updates-windows-live-photo-gallery-and-movie-maker/

public DNS couldn't find MSFN yesterday, however the IP address on record didn't work manually either.

Yes different manufacturers are definately different. For example, Intel's UEFI boards are easier to work with than Asus'. Its mainly about how their "BIOS" screens are laid out. Asus has more things you need to enable/disable to get UEFI boot working. Most manufacturers using UEFI now have a graphical BIOS that supports mouse and even the scroll wheel. There is typically an option to enter Advanced Mode which lets you see the screens in a more familiar layout. Intel, Asus and MSI BIOS screens are like this. About the SATA port isolation, I'm not sure what you mean. Typically you only get to disable the eSATA ports, but some higher end boards have multiple Storage Controllers letting you disable the onboard ports assigned to them.

Also if you want to code you own using VBScript, take a look at the HTA in my sig. The original author (Geezery) had written code to do probably what you are looking for.

Probably. MSSE installs for all users, so I don't think it matters. The only one it doesn't have this problem is with XP, but obviously you can image that without using sysprep.

For my case, sound from TV not so good. Receiver doesn't support HDMI port.

The MSSE OPK doesn't disable it. MSSE is sysprep aware and there is no official way I know of disabling that function. I'm pretty sure it is an intended function due to how MSSE is licensed.

So is this true that a Microsoft Account can only use a maximum of 3 IP addresses within a 24 hour period? http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/7dc30c8c-765c-41d0-a173-d9062760043d/microsoft-accounts-have-ip-daily-limit

Well you'd normally see things like that in ProcMon with the advanced filter set. They are basically just operations that are performed. I think maybe AVG is marking them just because of the unknown aspect to them, but that is hardly a cause for alarm. You can maybe try running Gmer on the system to scan for rootkits. Note: Gmer doesn't specifically know if something is bad, so some things show up as rootkits that are actually OK. For example, a computer with Sentinel HASP driver installed will show a false-positive result for a rootkit infection. http://www.gmer.net/

You should have the backup in the WinSxS folder. In a cmd, run this to find them. dir msvfw32.dll /s

Looking at the Firefox screenshot, it looks like styles aren't enabled, but it is interesting that the advertisement shows up. I wonder how only certain pictures can be shown and not others. That doesn't seem to be the case in IE, since you do have that styled Sign In button. Since you say "Orb" being missing, you can right click on your Desktop wallpaper and choose Personalize. This should open the themes box. It looks like your current theme is High Contrast White. Change it to an Aero theme, or the Windows Basic theme.

What is the make/model of the motherboard you are using? Also, edit your topic title per Rule 12.

3. In basic practice, you will not "see" a meaningful difference booting a PC in IDE mode vs AHCI using a standard spindle drive. 4. Boards that have UEFI do not have a BIOS. Those with UEFI do BIOS emulation to handle legacy devices. It is comparable to how there is no DOS in Windows XP but you can still use the command prompt.
