I'm not sure this is a WinPE issue. Exactly what version of Windows XP are you using?

Using your run of the mill USB keys, 1-4GB, I've lost 3 of them. They kick the bucket while being used as a dedicated ReadyBoost device. Gone so far that they either stop being detected by any computer, get detected as a generic USB device of some sort or can't be formatted. This is both on home and work computers. I've used 3 different types of them. I didn't try other methods like a CF yet. edit: All my experience is with Windows 7 ReadyBoost.

I connect to the Internet using a wired DSL router. I do not know how to connect via the command prompt... I know you said to connect using a client and not a web browser, but out of curiosity I tried using Internet Explorer 9, which triggered a Windows Firewall notification! Open a command prompt (cmd). Using the username of 'Anonymous' and the password of your email address, you can attempt to connect. Here is my example I just did. C:\windows\system32>ftp usftp.clevo.com.tw Connected to usftp.clevo.com.tw. 220 Serv-U FTP Server v7.3 ready... User (usftp.clevo.com.tw:(none)): Anonymous 331 User name okay, please send complete E-mail address as password. Password: 230 User logged in, proceed. ftp> Of course, it won't show you what you are typing at the password prompt, so hope to not make a typo! You shouldn't even get to the prompt for the username if the port is blocked tho.

It looks to me you want to customize your install graphics? Look in here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/40-customizing-windows/ and here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/42-logonui-boot-screens/

What kind of environment do you have available to you? Having the ability to use a network, or even better, having access to an AD DC will get you different options with better manageability. Also, is this for home, small business or corporate use?

I use the snap feature all the time. I was surprised how much I had relied on it. I was recently working on a Vista notebook to clean up for someone (this also happened to me when using an XP) where I tried to snap the window and it just didn't work. It was like when I tried to go back and play GTA Vice City only to find out/remember that you couldn't swim in that version. I also had good experience with ReadyBoost, except for the fact that using that feature seems to eat USB keys. I'm not using it now just because I don't have any large keys I'm willing to sacrifice to the cause right now.

How does the computer connect to the internet? The reason I am asking is because that website would say I had ports open that I do not, simply because the interface it detects is not my computer, but our outbound interface which is the router. Ports would be open on the router, but any connections into my network would fail at the firewall which sits between the router and my computer. (Yes it is a separate device) Instead of using that, since you say you have those FTP ports blocked, try to connect to an FTP site using a client (not a web browser) or even the command prompt. If you need a site to go to, you can connect to Clevo's website to see if you can get in: ftp://usftp.clevo.com.tw/

What is your OS? What kind of mouse option are in the control panel?

I'm not familiar with this version (or SCCM) but is this one of those programs that makes the "this program has closed incorrectly" message in Windows 7?

System Builder version of NAV2012 uses the same switches as above. Edited topic title again.

Try to fully qualify the path to regedit.exe and reg.reg.

It is unfortunate that by the time SP1 came out, so many people were scared off from Vista. I remember working with one particular client who was looking at switching to Vista but they couldn't get enough performance for their platform. So they shelved the project. When SP1 RTMed I tested it with their demo system and it was a lot faster. I told them but at that point they had gone to "waiting for Windows 7" or switch to Embedded mode.

If these computers are designed to only run this one application and nothing else, then it would be an appliance. If this is the case, you should use Windows 7 Embedded.

What led you to conclude that downgrading the OS on the server would be your fix? Did you create a Server 2008 R2 domain functional level instead of one of the older types when you set it up?

Juno Reactor - Angels and Men

Well no one here could help you activate. Once you get your product key, you'll have to try to activate online and if that fails call the Activation Center.

Wireless? Nice_Guy, verify for us you posted the correct picture that is not showing up. The picture you posted is the EULA that appears during Setup, which should be skipped by the SkipEula object in the WindowsPE pass. Or do you mean the EULA in OOBE (where the Wireless screen also appears) ?

Do you have an operating system on the notebook now?

I like the second one more, but those topic icons make the image kinda busy. It might be because they are clashing with the theme of the rest of the image, ie there are blues in there, etc.

Corporate? You mean VLK?

No disintegrations!

Well I'm not sure about mixing the "K-Mart-ian Legend" with MSFN... but maybe another term that defined my normal day to day activity here... Topic Mover

Many projects have added Audio support. You can look at Make_PE3 as an example.
