Not going to bring politics into this, but this was tweeted in February... titled "I spy" https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/302560295958749184 How strange, because "I spy" something that looks like Windows 8. Is Windows 8 an operating system for children?

The background color/image of the search field matches the currently selected color scheme. It might be helpful if it were set to an opposite color (white vs dark schemes) so that people know where it is. It does not immediately stand out that there is a search field up there.

I know that "hot" is subjective, I certainly don't feel hot, warm maybe. Its not intolerable. But we have to understand that our computers may be less tolerable to temperatures as we are. Here I was, sitting down to a relaxing game of Civ 5 when my screen goes black. Somewhere, in the background of ALT-TABs lies some message relating to the video driver having a problem. I sat thinking... well it is kinda warm today, I don't think I feel up to playing anything that requires more thought. Then I realise, well, maybe my computer is hot too? So I decide to take a break, while the words of a complete stranger from a parking lot once told me echoes in my head:

There is a problem with the post editor when you type some stuff. Then you press "Enter" (or Return for you oldies) and then put in manual IMG tagged content. While the hard return appears in the editor before posting and while editing the post, it isn't respected on the actual post. Sometimes I need to do 2 or 3 extra "Enter" between the content and the image. Proof in the test forum. EDIT: also, when clicking the number of topic followers up top, I can't see the users. I know I should be able to see the users that follow the topic because it has that function on reboot.

Hey, you can change some color of the forum. Way at the top of the page is a paint brush where you can change the color!

I know it is something a user probably doesn't care about... But I think it would be nice if the link to the forum rules were up top someplace. It took me forever to realise where the link was... WAAAY at the bottom. Otherwise, I think it looks pretty cool so far. Especially since the design is different than other boards of this version I frequent.

I am certain there is some language barrier issue here, but this made me giggle. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/16da0a17-e723-492a-9caf-b565ea3262f8/i-got-error

You may have noticed that your avatar has changed or reverted to the "blank person" picture when posting in the forum. This version of IPB puts your Profile Picture (the one that shows up in your Profile) as your avatar, unlike previous versions. So you would need to change your profile picture to change your avatar. And those of you who have an animated GIF as your profile picture, better remove that...

If you run /GET-PACKAGES, does that one you can't remove show up in the list?

What was the fix?

Not when you're playing quake 3 arena and it pops up when you're trying to get some frags done The Game issue has already been discussed many times on here, that's why I made a Toggle Aero with my installer so you can quickly toggle off aero when going to "Game mode" then toggle aero back on when done...DP That would make more sense. Why would you want Aero enabled if you can't even see it?

Here was my post that was gobbled up the other day. Apple found guilty of eBook price fixing! http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/10/4510338/apple-found-guilty-of-ebook-price-fixing

Well I can't quote apparently... And my editor bar is unusable. I am fairly certain (cannot be proved, opinion) that the "new" forum version is tested against their previous version in upgrading. And NOT tested on forums that have been through multiple upgrades, or in some cases, forums that migrated between board softwares. I think that is where some of the problem comes from when board upgrades are done and not everything works out, especially codeboxes. Also: It appears you can paste pictures into your post, I did by accident. This picture here, is NOT pasted (its on Photobucket) to show you how the Quick Reply toolbar is, well, empty. @Charlotte: I always expected many users would be "shocked" by what this IPB version looks like. It is a lot different. But believe it or not, MSFN is way behind on getting this version and I have been using it on other boards for quite some time. Reboot is an exception as they do it "strangely" compared to the other sites. BUT I do know that it is possible to use the old skin with the new board... I know a site that did it although they said it wasn't easy and ended up not being 100% functional (I think they got lazy actually). EDIT: Quick Reply looks normal now (but ugly) so I think sometimes it just doesn't load all the way?

From what I understand, HKCR is just a "viewing point" of keys kept in other places, including HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes. I think you should try working in the actual location in HKLM instead. But as for why you get a permission error, maybe the ownership of the key needs to be changed.

and the corresponding login page does what it is supposed to do (logging on): jaclaz Its interesting that you bring this up. For years (as probably with most people) I was interested in wallpapers, icons, screensavers, etc but as time went on I stopped bothering with these things. When I am using my computer, I rarely see my wallpaper. The exception is in the morning on the multi-monitor setup before I get my apps up. So what use is a wallpaper? I don't change it at home anymore. Icons went away for me a long time ago. It was the combination of two things. The first being that I was informed that having stuff on your desktop was actually bad for performance. The second was once I could put shortcuts to often used things on the Taskbar and much later when Windows 7 (I never really used Vista) had the Start Menu show the top 10 most used programs. Now I never go to the desktop except for rare occassions when I need to format a USB key, since that is where I have that program. And screen savers are a similar thing. The screen saver comes on when you are not using the computer and its probably because you are not near it. You wouldn't be there to see your screen saver since you'd be busy doing something else most of the time. Even the case of Shiva, who others have nicknamed "The Drugs Computer" because of its screen saver ended up just being a distraction you can see from the corner of your eye if you are doing something else in the room. Of course I would totally flip around on this subject if they include After Dark in Windows 8.1.

Not an 'overall' solution since Windows handles applications by filetype... However, take a look at this example: http://rhubbarb.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/vlc-dvd-w7/ We see in this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DVD\shell\play\command That the command is: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe” /prefetch:4 /device:DVD “%L So, in the example of DVD playback, I would imagine that changing the path from ProgramFiles(x86) to ProgramFiles would suffice to change it to the 64bit version.

Iceman's tutorial for WinPE is still relevant for ADK, obviously paths are going to be different. Regarding answer file questions, check out this thread:

ADK is the newest version of WAIK. It works fine with Windows 7, Vista and of course Windows 8. For some reason MS stopped calling it WAIK and just calls it ADK now.

It is not an option in Autounattend.xml, but you can still script it. If you have in your FirstLogonCommands, you can use intl.cpl and an XML file to set the date format. Here's an example of the XML itself: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2006/05/30/610505.aspx Here's two other pages that might help: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721887%28v=ws.10%29.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ie/goglobal/bb964650%28en-us%29.aspx

The WAIK is indeed large but I think it is worth it. But you should probably get the ADK for Windows 8 instead. I don't know about any of the tools that are out there, I don't use any of them.

No, there is no "Sleep" in modern ui, just "Shutdown" and "Restart" Looking at this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/41bb0d2b-5f84-4585-97b8-18528f53d486/sleep-and-hibernation-is-working-on-server-2012-with-started-hypervisor-i-do-not-know-why It appears that Server 2012's sleep ability (or clickable option) is dependent on the video driver.

Merged max's topic with the existing one in the Beta forum.

JFYI, we have a thread about ReactOS if anyone is interested.
