I did a quick search and found some grumbling about this problem, but most common in 2009-2011. Also it doesn't seem to be a 100% across the board problem and only happens in certain circumstances. Neither my work PC nor my home PC have this problem. However neither of them are set to go into suspend. I can tell you these scenarios: 1. Work PC, streams a radio station via Flash in IE9. PC will turn on screensaver and put monitors to sleep on time with no wake problem. OS is Win7 with Aero disabled. 2. Home PC. Flash (Youtube specifically) in Pale Moon works only 10% of the time due to some problem I haven't figured out. So all my flash video work is done using Chrome. Whether on a paused Youtube video, or a streaming twich video, screensaver and monitor sleep happens and resumes without issue.

I never download the video drivers from Windows Update. Also I have my PCs set to notify but allow me to choose which updates to download and install.

No I am saying that if he has a SATA HDD and ODD, you can't specify use AHCI on port 0 (for HDD) and IDE for port 1 (ODD).

No it won't use it automatically. Hence in my example (it is not 100% spelled out in the post but I am limited) I had to create the custom option that runs setup using the /unattend switch. The custom option is the 6th item shown in RECENV, which you can see an example here as "Recovery Manager". http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163632-computer-will-not-boot/?p=1046788 FactoryRecoveryTool is in WinRE. For deployments it is a little tricky and I'm not particularly fond of doing it. What you end up doing is take your image you made, mount it. Mount the winre.wim that is inside of that, put in the XML file and make the Tools folder. Then unmount the winre.wim then unmount the install.wim. Then you can deploy that image. You don't call reagentc from XML. It happens during deployment. So its like this: - prepare parts with diskpart - apply image with DISM - run reagentc commands - set disk id with diskpart - reboot

Alternatively, he could test for a while with the ODD not connected. But he is correct if you disable AHCI in the BIOS, Windows will give a 0x7B bugcheck. I have not seen a board that allows you to select the SATA type per port on the motherboard. Usually it applies that setting for every port.

This website has some various ways to force a suspend in Windows. Make sure to read all of them since some of the ones posted are said to cause some corruption. http://superuser.com/questions/39584/what-is-the-command-to-use-to-put-your-computer-to-sleep-not-hibernate

2. WinRE uses Setup.exe to apply the recovery image. Indeed it doesn't seem to care about the answer file used if one was applied with sysprep prior to capturing the image. Take a look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/142990-installing-windows-7-from-recovery-partition/?p=918385 3. Reagentc commands are written to where your BCD is located. 4. You use Diskpart to set the partition ID after you run the Reagentc commands.

It isn't because it is XML. It is not read on the fly and is loaded into the parser when the file is first detected and loaded into memory. So the order of elements really has no bearing on the file, only that both of those objects are child objects of MetaData. The usual conformity you see in XML is because of human nature, or because the XML is written by some automatic means. And even so, WSIM is kinda "dumb" in this respect and you can build 2 XML files with it, using the exact same settings and get each file having the objects in different orders! More on the subject, basically saying that it is in the "design" that objects should be in some kind of order, but (as IBM notes) no parsers seem to actually care about the order unless a schema is specified. And I think that schemas are primarily used (when ordering is important) for applications that are unforgiving and need a specific order for things. This could be the case where a legacy program adds XML ability where it didn't have it originally. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-eleord/index.html

I have not seen that type of behaviour. What browser are you using or are you using the Projector? Does it do this on Youtube too?

Just a question, does your monitor power save when a flash video is open?

Yahoo had announced a new logo as well. Some version is shown here: http://gizmodo.com/yahoo-is-changing-its-logo-but-its-not-this-one-or-s-1050513519 But that isn't what I'm seeing it as Yahoo already has a new logo in the Fantasy section at least. http://l.yimg.com/rz/l/yahoo_sports_en-US_f_pw_119x34_2x.pngNOT IMPRESSED!

Actually, Megrez already posted how he got it. He got a copy from the school he used to go to. So in this case, the media is technically warez but the Megrez may not realise this case. So either way, we can't talk about it anymore.

Back to the original concern, I experience a similar "problem" with my computers. But it is because I have the power management set to put my disks to sleep. Phaenius, how are your power settings configured concerning your drives?

There is no such thing as "Corporate XP." Its a term that people use to describe a warez copy of XP. Typically this type of media is actually a VLK version of XP that is only available to corporations that have a Volume Licensing Agreement. So in either case, no one here could help because of these two possible reasons: 1. nLite is licensed for personal use only and may not be used for business purposes of any kind. 2. talking about Warez is a bannable offense on this forum.

Oh try reverting your Autounattend.xml (that contains the portion in your first post) to use en-US for everything, then try to add the XML using the intl.cpl, reboot and see what happens.

A topic in the beta forum and a link to it from a post in this thread would be neat.

How are you integrating drivers? I have had little problems using DISM offline. Some drivers don't work... I remember some LSI driver didn't work.

Did that work for you? Since you have an EN-US source, I thought you needed to add the English InputLanguage ID in the XML as well, but in your case you could leave it default=false.

There are always more appropriate places to speak your true feelings.

I would design the image to deploy in Audit Mode, deploy the image to the PC and then QC it. The final part of the QC process would be to sysprep the machine. I have seen various computer manufacturing methods and that is typically the process that those facilities have used. I have actually seen one place that did a pre-QC but they said it was extra work they had to do to maintain some sort of "standard" (like ISO or something, I forget what exactly) they had to adhere to.

I personally would mount the boot.wim and inject the driver with DISM and then reburn the DVD. Did you mean some other method that allowed you to use the existing media?

You should still QC the PC. You can't accept the Windows EULA for the customer either. I am unfamiliar with the particulars of the Refurbisher Program, but I would imagine that your company would have some sort of Rep assigned to their account at Microsoft. I would recommend that you contact that person to see if they have any documents such as a Best Practices or Policy Requirements.

Supposedly, Microsoft is saying the Xbox One has an MTBF of 10 years. http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-one-is-apparently-designed-to-stay-on-for-ten-995116212

The unattend file doesn't make prompts (or pages as they are known) appear, but only surpresses them. You can specify the time zone in the answer file but not make OOBE prompt for it.

Only to call the command to launch the intl.cpl during FirstLogonCommands. As I said I couldn't get it to work reliably otherwise. Also, Windows 8 has new language codes too. control intl.cpl,, /f:"c:\folder\lang.xml" And a better looking xml <gs:GlobalizationServices xmlns:gs="urn:longhornGlobalizationUnattend"> <gs:UserList> <gs:User UserID="Current" CopySettingsToDefaultUserAcct="true" CopySettingsToSystemAcct="true"/> </gs:UserList> <gs:InputPreferences> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0409:00000409" Default="true"/> <!--Chinese Simplified Microsoft Pinyin ABC Input Style--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0804:{81D4E9C9-1D3B-41BC-9E6C-4B40BF79E35E}{FCA121D2-8C6D-41FB-B2DE-A2AD110D4820}" Default="false"/> <!--Chinese Traditional New ChangJie--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0404:{531FDEBF-9B4C-4A43-A2AA-960E8FCDC732}{F3BA907A-6C7E-11D4-97FA-0080C882687E}" Default="false"/> <!--English Australia US--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0c09:00000409" Default="false"/> <!--English UK UK--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0809:00000809" Default="false"/> <!--French CA CA FR--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0c0c:00001009" Default="false"/> <!--French France French--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="040c:0000040c" Default="false"/> <!--Germany German--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0407:00000407" Default="false"/> <!--Hindi India Traditional--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0439:00010439" Default="false"/> <!--Japanese Japan Microsoft IME--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0411:{03B5835F-F03C-411B-9CE2-AA23E1171E36}{A76C93D9-5523-4E90-AAFA-4DB112F9AC76}" Default="false"/> <!--Kannada India Kannada--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="044b:0000044b" Default="false"/> <!--Spanish Mexico Latin American--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="080a:0000080a" Default="false"/> <!--Spanish International Sort Spanish--> <gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0c0a:0000040a" Default="false"/> </gs:InputPreferences> </gs:GlobalizationServices>
