The only error I am seeing is on KB2079403: 2011-10-26 14:58:32, Info DISM Compatibility Manager: PID=3260 Processing the top level command token(add-package). - CCbsCliParser::Private_ValidateCmdLine 2011-10-26 14:58:32, Info DISM Compatibility Manager: PID=3260 PackageManager command is being executed: c:\mount\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_676975d87cc9b6e6\pkgmgr.exe /l:"c:\wim2\slipstream.log.pkgmgr" /o:"c:\mount;c:\mount\Windows" /ip /m:"c:\cabs\Windows6.0-KB2079403-x64.cab" /s:"C:\Users\LPATTE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\92859898-98F2-4D36-9316-3678DE9FB403" - CCompatManager::InternalExecuteCommand 2011-10-26 14:59:29, Info DISM Compatibility Manager: PID=3260 PackageManager return code = 0x5 - CCompatManager::InternalExecuteCommand 2011-10-26 14:59:29, Error DISM Compatibility Manager: PID=3260 d:\w7rtm\base\ntsetup\opktools\dism\providers\compatprovider\dll\compatmanager.cpp:970 - CCompatManager::ProcessPackageList(hr:0x80070005) 2011-10-26 14:59:29, Error DISM Compatibility Manager: PID=3260 d:\w7rtm\base\ntsetup\opktools\dism\providers\compatprovider\dll\compatmanager.cpp:589 - CCompatManager::CompatExecuteCmdLine(hr:0x80070005) The previous update to this, KB2505189, is successful.

It was my understanding that if I set up the PC in the DMZ, both the wired and wireless clients could see it.

Can you share the log file?

Check in the RT 7 Lite and 7Customizer topics that are pinned?

After the update to Yahoo, including yahoo Mail (not sure about other sections) it is obvious they are moving to embrace AJAX. So it would seem normal that Yahoo wouldn't work properly with Javascript disabled.

You need to create a user account on the Win7 PC. You should put a password on it. Then share a folder on the Win7 and select that user account you made. When you connect to it from the Win98, you will be prompted for credentials. On Windows98, Guest access is enabled, which is why you can just go there and see the shares. On Win7, guest access is disabled and you *should* create a user account to access the files with. It is possible to enable guest access on Win7, but I recommend against it.

When you demote your old DC, will the system be taken out of service? If not, after you transfer the roles and forest over, you could just use that system as another file server or somethng else without demoting it.

What services did you turn off?

Er... what is it? Can you post your score? Here is mine, just for fun as you said! More expensive doesn't mean it has higher performance either... I wonder what card that is (knowing would probably solve that mystery) We have a topic about those, so I'd not derail this topic into a "share your score" thread. I considered pinning it but there are already so many pinned topics.

Work PC (Skylynx) WEI Score:

I have also had no problems transferring between Win98 FE and Win7 Pro through a router. I just had to create a user account on the Win7 to share the folder with. I didn't bother seeing if the PCs were visible to each other in the Network browser, just directly connect to the UNC path using IP address. IE: \\192.168.100.101 You should not have any problems doing basic networking with Windows 7 Starter, however it looks like yours is modified (Aero Glass) so this may not be true. Here is a pic of my netbook copying files from a Win98 share:

Do you get your DNS server info from DHCP or are you using Static info? If using Static, set your internal DNS server as the first, and the 4.2.2.2 as the secondary. Is this network your own personal network or is it at a school/business?

It is just for fun. I don't think I've seen any sort of research done to show that the WEI Score is directly related to performance... or that WEI would ever replace benchmark tests. In other words it is just a general indicator of what you have. And of course gaming graphics get higher scores than workstation graphics, and as CoffeeFiend points out, you can get a higher score with a $60 video card than I get with a more expensive card, such as the one I have in my work PC.

Daniel Bernstein - Pestis Cruento Its the first (second) CD track from the Blood game for DOS. The music from that game is great for Halloween time. Also the memories of being able to put your game CD into your CD player and listen to the music!

I just want to toss in there that some BIOSes are configured like this. I had encountered a Compal notebook and another board (some mini-ITX I forget which one) that wouldn't allow a boot to ODD or Network if an OS was on the HDD. Also, the notebook I am working on now (MSI MS-1761) will NOT allow a boot to anything except the HDD (even it will ignore a boot menu request which is F11) if the OS is in Hibernation. Not to confuse the issue...

Wiederherstellungsvorgang = RecoveryOperation. On a fresh install, while still in audit mode, the Recovery Operation value is 4 and the BCD Id is all 0s. After sysprep /oobe, Recovery Operation = 4 but the BCD Id has a new value. I can't do a recovery test on this system because I need it for other things atm. I wonder if that BCD Id ever changes after a recovery... but its obvious that Sysprep makes some changes once it goes into oobeSystem pass. Anyways, I don't think ScheduledOperation state is the amount of recoveries run. Perhaps 0 is an invalid value? I've seen online some examples of 3, 4 and 5. Also Reagent.dll has the ability to write XML, so maybe if it sees an invalid value it changes it to whatever the default is?

It gets the information from the BCD. If you type BCDEdit into your command prompt, you will see the data. Here is an example I had from previous troubleshooting. Has a recovery partition: Doesn't have a recovery partition:

I am working on getting my media PC up and running and getting it prepared to be put into service. I plan on having this in my network's DMZ so I figure I'll need a good firewall. I'm interested in something that blocks EVERYTHING except what ports I want open. It has Win XP Pro SP3 and 1GB RAM if that helps.

Post your operating system and sound card. I'm sure those will be factors.

You would normally run Reagentc /info from Windows and not the PE. What version of Windows 7 are you using?

That looks like a good tool for alternate uses. Unfortunately, I can't use it in production since we need to use the official programs. Even MSI doesn't list LockIndicator as a required program, its an optional utility. However, after using this notebook for a couple days, not knowing the lock status is annoying. At the moment (if it can't be figured out) I've sent along instructions to manually install it during deployment. I'll take a look into InstallRite and see if I am allowed to use it in this case, but I still haven't heard back from MSI yet.

It has nothing to do with Documents. Those shortcuts with the arrows show you that there is a history of using files with those programs. I'm not sure if you can "create" those types of shortcuts. I can see from my own Start Menu that not all programs support this function. Of the most "active" programs that appear in my Start Menu, these can be expanded to view recent documents: Notepad, SciTE, Word, Excel, Fireworks, etc, but my other apps like Leetch, the in-house RDP app and my compiler do not have those arrows.
