[emphasis added]That would be quite a revelation, that early on Microsoft was promising that you could install Windows 8 without Metro. Breaking that promise can only have contributed to the anger and disappointment that has met the version of Windows 8 that eventually got released. Agreed. It sounds like the OEMs were led down a primrose path and believed the next Windows would not cause upheaval, but quite the contrary, be the proverbial shot in the arm. I'm not sure what conference he is talking about, it might be a workshop at //build/ 2011 which is also around the first time I remember hearing about this disaster, it was summer 2011 ... Microsoft has never really made concessions to OEMs regarding the desktop OSes. All that stuff about custom appliances and GUIs are always licensed under the Embedded side of things and would have nothing to do with the run of the mill Windows. I don't even know what Windows 8 Embedded can do, no one wants regular Windows 8 enough to have that kind of demand. And when you want to say "yeah but the touch support" and that's just that Start Screen. ISVs would be in the same spot as if they were using Windows 7 Embedded since they still have to write their own software because they won't be using Modern apps or the Start Screen for their custom software right? Anyways, that discussion must have been from early on as obviously it sounds more like how Server 2012 operates.

It doesn't really work like that. You could technically run an old version of IPB for as long as you wanted and shouldn't have a problem. I have also seen some formatting changes when going from page to page, etc... It is possible for some formatting to be "missing" if an include loads the Driver Error, for example some had seen that show up in the Attachment section below composing a post. Also, I say in GD sometimes the board will mark threads as read even if I haven't looked at them yet.

What were your temperatures like before the fan controller started malfunctioning?

I recall a time back then I had a dual boot with XP and Server 2003. Feels like a lifetime ago.

It looks like your camera uses the Apple implementation of MJPEG. As noted on Wikipedia, Microsoft expects these types of files to be AVIs. However, it also appears that this type of media file isn't used enough to have contined support to be included for WMP in Windows 7, as TechNet also shows it won't play the AVI type either. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpromedia/thread/66b7ebfb-76f7-4a1d-bf68-f76ba3e852c9/ Here is the homepage for FFDShow, maybe it will help for this kind of file: http://www.ffdshow.info/ Or maybe it still works in Quicktime.

I'm not sure that searching for EXEs and MSIs is the way to go. I use a "control file" to determine what is listed and executed. For example, an INI or XML file. So you have the paths to your applications stored in the INI file, which you can change just the INI to show different options over time. I use this INI trick to control my app installer, which is an EXE that is in WinPE, and the INI file is on the server. Also, I'm sure you meant it but you need Checkboxes for multiple selection, as radio buttons are for single selection. Moving to appropriate forum.

Thanks for the solution.

I had a feeling that was it. I don't have any of my motherboards in chassis when I test them, but I remember this being a problem a while back. As far as multiple sound cards, the only OS I got them to work in was XP 64bit. I did some searching around and all I can find about the behaviours of the sound cards is driver related. Also I do see many complaints of people wanting the audio "streaming" to go back to how it was in XP. Apparently, something had changed starting with Vista, which might be related to the other issues some of us have encountered going from XP to 7.

Where do you want this topic to be moved to? I am not familiar with PSF (PStream) files either.

Are you connecting to the rear or front panel audio? I just tested with some cheapo speakers, connecting to the green rear jack and it was detected as analog. Its not the same board but is the same audio controller.

It appears that Intel supports XP for this board, or at least has drivers available.

You might have to ask in the linked thread in Tihiy's post. I'm sure there was a reason for it.

I am suddenly reminded of that time I looked up a KB article on MS Support and it said I had a hardware or software problem. Similarly...

When they are saying "web page" do they specifically mean the first ever HTML file published to the internet? Or more specifically, the "www" which is only part of the internet but no one calls it the www anymore.

I've made the "Sega Saturn" comparison before, but back when the Surface and iPad Mini had similar product release "conferences" or presentations or whatever. Regarding the design of the consoles... I didn't mind the Microsoft one... the Kinect kinda sticks out and reminds me of R.O.B. in a way. XBox One seems to be trying to add the features of Smart TVs into their console, maybe for people who don't have Smart TVs. But this could end up backfiring on them as time goes on and more and more TVs are Smart TVs. The features would be redundant. The ability to watch TV on XBox One is interesting, but it sounds more like its a Tivo without the recording feature. I've never wanted to play on Xbox because most of the games were also on Playstation or on PC. With the Xbox 360, I never really liked the controller and again the games were available elsewhere. I don't see any reason to buy an Xbox One. I don't care for the games or the Smart TV features. I think the Kinect technology is really great, especially if you see what people have been doing with the dev kits outside of the gaming console. Now for the PS4, I think Sony really killed at the presentation. The only part that was difficult was when the Japanese guy was talking. The console design was the real surprise I think. It reminds me a lot of the PS2, but then again it probably would have been a good design for the Xbox One instead. Since it kinda reminds me of the old Windows flag. The only one I couldn't stand was Ubisoft, showing off boring (read: kiddie) games and their presenter was making the worst jokes (read: no one was laughing) ever. Battlefield 4 looks great but I'll only try it on the PC. Playing a first person shooter with a controller is too alien for me. Overall, I really think that not being backwards compatible is a mistake for both consoles. They are basically saying that all that money you spent on their products over the years is now junk. They could have come up with some way to profit on used games. In fact, I think that the current gen (PS3/360) already have this method built in through DLC. Maybe I'm just too old fashioned when it comes to that. For me anyways, I just keep my old consoles (or buy them later) to play old games on, but I think in the grand scheme of things, most people aren't like that.

Sony just Sega Saturn'd the Xbox One.

To the best of my knowledge, the gray rectangle is from either one of these subs, right at the very end of the VBScript. Sub objWIM_Progress(Percent,TimeRemaining) On Error Resume Next objShell.Popup Percent, 1, "Title", -1 If Percent = 100 Then progress.innerHTML = "<table border='0'><tr><td>Percents completed: </td><td>100 % </tr><tr><td>Time remaining: </td><td>0 min 0 sec</td></tr></table>" Exit Sub Else Call ProgressHelper(Percent,TimeRemaining) End If End Sub Sub ProgressHelper(pr,tr) On Error Resume Next intFMin = (tr MOD 3600) \ 60 intFSec = (tr MOD 3600) MOD 60 progress.style.visibility = "visible" progress.innerHTML = "<table border='0'><tr><td>Percents completed: </td><td>" & pr & "%" & "</td></tr><tr><td>Time remaining: </td><td>" & intFMin & " min " & intFSec & " sec</td></tr></table>" If pr = 100 Then window.clearInterval(iTimerID) progress.innerHTML = "<table border='0'><tr><td>Percents completed: </td><td>100 % </tr><tr><td>Time remaining: </td><td>0 min 0 sec</td></tr></table>" Else Exit Sub End If End Sub As a way to replace that, I can think maybe change it to show a pop-up HTA similar to the Diskpart/format select screen, but instead the HTA would be fairly simple and have a Style Body object that has this: background-image:url('resources\imagex.gif') This is only an example. If you have any questions relating to VBScript, ask them here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/66-programming-c-delphi-vbvbs-cmdbatch-etc/

Also, it looks like some posts from mid-week (when the forum was working) appear to have been lost. I suspect a database rollback was done.

Uggg apparently there was a database rollback and my reply to this was lost. I will post again on Monday and see if I can reconstruct that reply.

Fortunately, that link still works! This is probably (or definately) the first time I've seen a mediafire address in "print." Is this an actual/physical book? Isn't the nature of mediafire links temporary? Anyways, its pretty cool.

Yes it sound like your AC Unit is initially drawing faster than what is made available when it turns on, causing a mini-brown out. Its possible that using a larger circuit could fix that, or making sure the AC unit is on a different circuit than your PC. I don't see a real problem with the PC being on the circuit when the brown-out happens. The worst case scenario is that the computer would turn off or reset. Is that happening? FWIW, I've seen PCs stay on even when no power is available to it for a short amount of time... say less than a second. I've also seen a PC stay on for about 30 seconds without it being plugged in at all.

64bit WinPE can do both, its the only one I actually use. The only problems with 64bit WinPE is that the client needs a 64bit CPU to boot. Also requires nearly 1GB RAM (its less than that but I don't know how to test it) 99% of the time and 2GB on some boards with RAID enabled. In other news, I've been working on trying to get the HTA to deploy via UEFI but it isn't working out yet. As it stands, this HTA can't deploy to UEFI and it can't deploy Windows 8.

There must be something more to warrant a whole revision number...

Hasbro!

Sure it is possible. What platform are you developing for?
