You can test your video card with OCCT: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=214

Here is the list of switches for BCDEdit including Server 2012. My Server 2012 runs headless so I wouldn't be able to test on mine.

Which progress bar?

Not sure if this is what you want. Here is an example that might help: c:\folder\dotnetfx40_full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart

I've never done that, since ReadyBoost ate all my USB drives (3) I've used on various computers. If you are using this key on multiple computers, I think FAT32 would give you the least amount of headaches.

I guess browser games are "freeware", might as well add Quake Live to the list then huh? And all those sites with Flash games?

You can't inject an nVidia (or ATI) inf as-is because of how the INF is written. If you install the driver manually then use a driver extractor like Driver Magician (or similar) which backs up the INFs, you can then inject that one. I had done that once on Vista, but since installing drivers that way are not supported by the manufacturer, I haven't done it since.

Alternatively, here is how to do it using AutoIT: FileCreateShortcut ( "c:\program files\folder\file.exe" , "c:\users\public\desktop\File Name.lnk" , "c:\program files\workingdir" , "" , "Description" , "c:\program files\folder\iconfile.ico" )

Sometimes Sysprep or the /Generalize switch reverts the video driver. I run into this occasionally with different chipsets and have not found a solution.

It's possible you are having a problem with your video card. I have used this tool OCCT to test video cards. My last one had a few hundred errors after running for 1 minute. Maybe it can tell you something as well? http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=214

Post what TV tuner it is in case someone else has the same problem.

yes, msfn now works fine. How can this happen? Hopefully not like this:

Does anyone know of any USB 2-3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapters that are capable of doing a PXE boot? I found this one on Dell's website: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=a6003700 But I talked to Startech tech support and they say that it doesn't support PXE, nor do they sell any that do. Any suggestions? I know that Argon sells one but it is only Fast Ethernet.

If it is prompting you to select an image, it probably doesn't like your product key. It should be enough, but you may want to add the ImageInstall object: <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 ULTIMATE</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> And specify the image name as it appears in your WIM.

The nVidia software will like to override the Windows settings. You should make the changes in there, presuming that software is installed.

Oh this is gonna go over like a ton of bricks. Hey if you don't like it, tough. Get Office 364. Go to the cloud! This is from TechSpot, it is not yet over at NeoWin. Looking forward to see the creative rationalizations from the MicroZealots. I think I know why this was done. Those transfer terms exist in Office 365 and actually allow for installation on 4 computers and 5 devices. I can't find a copy of it online.

Boots into what? and by WIM file you mean the install.wim?

It should be in the registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace The GUID to look for is probably this: {4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423} As seen in this list: Canonical Names of Control Panel Items (MSDN)

What good does a post count do anyways? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I should start posting this: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Instead of this:

It appears it is possible, but the steps depend on which version you are using. Here I found a manual method: http://community.batmanarkhamcity.com/forums/showthread.php/21582-Transfer-Save-to-a-Reformatted-PC And here is info if you have it with Steam: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2331974

Windows Defender is really just Microsoft Security Essentials, so that is what you should look up to do comparisons. If you right-click a file, does the option to scan the file show up in the context menu?

I think Intel uses DPInst to handle their installations. There are other methods I've seen from other install disks, for example AOpen had one where you could probably modify it. I don't have an AOpen driver disc anymore to look at unfortunately. I looked at an MSI disc and it looks like it uses Devcon. Also you can check the stickies in this forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/88-device-drivers/

There looks to be something called SCEREGVL.INF that you can try using. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/compliancemanagement/thread/dd66dd86-0c08-4f19-8000-b2bb75e37b4f/

Connect 1 PC via ethernet to the router. Configure to obtain IP automatically. Verify that you can access the internet. Drop to a CMD and run ipconfig -all, recording these for the Ethernet connection: - IP Address - Subnet mask - Default Gateway - DNS server Log into your router and change its DHCP IP Scope to allow at least 10 IPs it won't assign. So if it currently is set up to assign 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254, then Change it so the scope starts at 192.168.1.10 or so. After doing this, release/renew the PC and verify internet access. On the server, set a static IP on the NIC using an IP outside of the router's scope, for example 192.168.1.5. Use the Subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server that the PC had gotten. Verify access to the internet by pinging google.com (I will never recommend that you actually surf the internet with a server, but that's up to you). Now the obvious next step would be to run DCPROMO, but there is a problem where I can't help you any further. There are other things you are going to have to find out about your router, specifically: - how to add A record to the DNS so your clients can use FQDNs. You might actually need to do this before running DCPROMO. - how to allow wireless clients ability to see physical devices. Most consumer routers have an internal firewall between the different network types.
