  1. Ok well the thing that moved around in those logs was the 9500, so focus on that and see where you get.
  2. I seem to recall that the ATI All-In-Wonder series have TV Tuners and are included on that link under ATI video cards.
  3. I have found that some drivers will not install on Windows 8 because the installation package checks for what is installed already. Windows 8, being so new, actually does have some signed manufacturer drivers in it already, not just random Microsoft ones. Depending on what the board actually is, I'd expect audio and video drivers to get an update at some point in the future, and then become available on that site.
  4. This is my new favorite.
  5. Not going to make a new thread for WinPE4 since it isn't too different. The build of the PE is the same as WinPE3 with some exceptions. - You can add Powershell package - You don't need to use the set-resolutionx64 (not compatible) and WinPE4 should set resolution to the optimal it thinks the display can use... I didn't test setres.exe because I don't work with 32bit WinPE anymore. - WinPE4 does not have BCDBoot.exe in it by default, so you will need to copy this in additonally. NOTE: You cannot use the basic functions of this HTA to work with Windows 8 or Server 2012 images. Imagex.exe does not do the job unforuntately. This still works with previous OSes the same. You'll have to manually use DISM to capture/deploy Windows 8 images!
  6. I am finding some online stores that have it, but not in stock. All these stores are either Russian or Czech. Plenty of drivers out there tho! Is there a specific reason why you need this one card? Does it offer something you can't do with other products?
  7. Oh there is a USB NIC on there too? Is it an external device?
  8. I think that Phenomic was making the point that his Linux system is less crash-prone than Windows is perceived to be. Why, I have a brand-new Windows 7 machine, and got my first BSOD one day into owning it when I tried to install the graphics card driver offered by Windows Update. --JorgeA Ha that's what you get! Device drivers from Windows Update. The reliability of a computer is solely dependent on how it is used. I've always wondered why people use the uptime as some sort of no-contest value in the OS debate. In the end, no OS is better than another in a general use standpoint so there is no reason to even have a debate. I see someone say Linux has uptime of 26 days, but this means nothing to me. I ran a Shoutcast/Quake 3 "server" on a Windows 98 PC that had uptimes of about 3 months before reboots that were needed. And even the workstation I am using right this second (Windows 7) has a current uptime of 1035:14:42 or 43 days.
  9. Take a look in the registry here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Erase the data in DefaultUserName key and reboot to see if that helps any.
  10. You could have SiB exist as a tray icon that is normally hidden. If an update is available, have change its icon and make it not hidden anymore. Similar to MSSE if your definitions are out of date, it will turn orange and become unhidden. If an update is available, in addition to the color change, your tray icon could use a tooltip notification at OS boot.
  11. There have never been AFAICR SCSI2SCSI "converters" (or at least they must have been peculiarly "rare"), I have only seen "passive" adapters (pinout converters) or "full fledged" ISA, MCA (SIC!) or PCI SCSI cards. Additionally (and I do have my experience with mixing SCSI things ) I don't recall any similar issue , as far as I know you can "mix together" all kind of SCSI devices, of course performance may depend on the "slower" device.... It would be interesting if you could provide some data .... jaclaz Unfortunately no data available. Just old tech support knowledge from jobs of years past. It has something to do with using a pin-adapter on some form of SCSI Iomega drive (Zip or Jaz) to adapt to either Fast/SCSI-2 or maybe SCSI-Wide. All I remember is that such things weren't covered under warranty because they had the habit of causing damage to the drives. Something about it running too fast on those controllers. Definately not about chaining drives, although I do remember that putting a Zip drive in between chained Macs didn't work.
  12. Are these adapters, or the drives themselves, smart enough not to allow the faster SATA speed to damage the drive? I seem to recall that some SCSI types using an adapter, connected to a newer or faster SCSI spec could actually damage the drive.
  13. No tricks, nothing in the hands.... Most times when we can't find something on google, its usually because we are using the wrong search terms. So a single search may not give you any answers. You need to look at what you do find and try different terms. It might seem like some magic trick!
  14. The only difference between those two lists is that these items: Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\WinUSB.sys Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\lan9500-x64-n51f.sys Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\lvuvc64.sys Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\usbaudio.sys Load earlier (after mouhid.sys) in the "failed" boot, and load later (after srv.sys) in the normal boot. Try these: - boot the OS without the NIC connected. - update your LAN drivers.
  15. Just so you know, using uptime as some sort of feature of Linux is an invalid argument.
  16. Does it not work in both x86 and amd64?
  17. Remove this from your XML and try it again. <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/Index</Key> <Value>1</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom>
  18. Out of the box, if using GPT format (even on a BIOS level), Windows 8 is going to automatically create the MSR and boot partitions. In this case, if you are using GPT on BIOS, you'd get a 2TB max GPT volume (even if the disk is larger) but the OS won't be able to boot because Windows 8 cannot write the boot files for a GPT disk on BIOS. But it is possible to manually install Windows 8 (not using Setup, but using DISM) to a GPT disk on BIOS, as long as the two other partitions aren't created. That, however, isn't a supported method of installing an OS on GPT.
  19. What is the difference between that and the Start Screen color? ColorSet_Version3 http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/145063-change-windows-8-start-metro-screen-background-color/
  20. And from that article: Enterprises won't go to it because the Enterprise support cycle allows them to skip products. Its no surprise that most skipped Vista and will go to 7, its because XP extended support lasted long enough for a new OS to come out. So unless the currently accepted (and incorrect, imo) business model changes, I don't see any corporations going to Windows 8 if they don't have to.
  21. I can verify that on both my desktop and my laptop that IE hasn't appeared in the Start Menu at all. On the laptop is a few days' old user account but definitely has used IE some, and the recent programs list isn't fully populated yet so I know IE wasn't just bumped off the bottom (I have it set to 17!). On my desktop there are programs that I've launched more recently, but only once ever whereas IE I have definitely launched at least one or two handfuls of times. v1.1RC is installed on both PCs. I haven't actually used the internet with Windows 8 yet, but I am under the impression that there are 2 implementations of IE in Windows 8. One that runs as a Modern Style app, and one that runs as a Desktop Style app. If this is the case, if you are running the Modern IE, it wouldn't show up as a recently used program. You guys probably have more experience in the day to day workings of Windows 8 than me by now.
  22. Wow glad I don't get alerts to my phone!

  23. It probably stores that setting in a cookie. As I mentioned, Yahoo does the same thing BUT it won't do it if you are signed in somewhere already. Yahoo (at least) still considers the IM and the Email separate. So as an example, while I don't really use Yahoo IM, I have all my Yahoo accounts signed in on an IM client (Trillian) and set to away. Then anytime I log into email, Yahoo can't connect the IM because they are already in "use."
  24. Ok, it may come down to your answer file. Are you specifying the location of install.wim? Are you sure your ODD is actually letter D?
  25. Have you looked into Process Explorer? I am not sure if it can create a log file. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
