There are multiple ways to make it run only once. In your bat file, you can write to the registry before performing your commands, then also check for the presense of this value before running those commands.

You are likely battling network permissions. I never tried to run an HTA from a network share. Use a USB key (or WDS) to have your boot image on, so you can easily mount and edit it.

For order #2 (your IE9 install) you have the path in description. Windows can't find your IE9 exe.

What OS are you working with?

On my 98 I have no antivirus either, but just a firewall. Of course I don't use a web browser on it either. For a newer OS, I agree most AV are resource hogs. The lightest ones are MSSE and Avast.

If you boot and press F8 you can get the boot menu. Choose Safe Mode to see if you can get there. Or in F8 menu you can choose "Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure" so that you can read the Blue screen.

I've not used this HTA before, but I know I had to make some VBScript changes in mine to work with WinPE 3.0. I'm not sure what would need to be changed in this one.

Well I certainly can't leave this topic in the wrong place... but to Office or Win2k?

It looks like you are battling your hard disk and using workarounds to make your PC usable for a period of time. What HDD do you have? Have you run the appropriate HD Tool (SeaTools, WD Tools, etc) on it?

Are you using WinPE 2.0? Some code changes may be needed for 3.0. Also, did you build your PE using the HTA and Scripting packages?

Driver authors being lazy still exists today. Either they make a "Windows 7" driver using the Vista version (because Windows 7 will install a 6.x driver) or using generic sections instead. Its concerning when I encounter such drivers as I often do not even want to use them. Of course, by "driver authors" I don't speak specifically of companies, as even companies that have nice INFs can also have ambiguous ones too! This is a 32bit mesrle: [Intel.NTx86.6.0] Oh but let's be lazy with 64bit [Intel.NTamd64] Some things never change.

There could be many reasons why this file is becoming unusable. I'd recommend choosing to open it, and do a Save-As and save it as another name. Simply renaming the file does very little as far as Windows is concerned. Also, depending on the size of the file, you may choose to save it somewhere else besides the Desktop.

Welcome to the MSFN! Unfortunately, very few people will revisit the Introduce Yourself forum often, so I'll put this topic in Windows 7 so people can see it. You'll probably want to tell us what programs you are using to do these things you can't get to work.

Well this type of topic is best suited for General Discussion because it isn't directly related to any hardware or software product. As for what benefits you could get, I'm not sure. There is an FAQ here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/msrc/collaboration/mapp/faq.aspx I would imagine that once you applied for the program, you'd be assigned a rep. JFYI, MSFN is not an official Microsoft website, we just like discussing (and sometimes arguing about) their products.

Do you mean Volume License XP?

Hmm well I guess that site isn't around anymore... but seeing how Windows 7 is almost the same as Vista for unattends, check out these topics: As for this, I suppose to unpin this topic.

So this is still a DOS program... have you tried using DOSBox to run it? I wonder if that would behave differently.

BTHPort is a service for Bluetooth. It appears that it is OK for this to be detected by Gmer. There is an update for it http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26736 Possibly what needs to be done is to enable your system to create a crash dump, and manually force a bugcheck (if possible) when the system locks up. Short of doing this, you'll want to note the time your halt occurs next and check out Event Viewer for any Warnings or Errors around that time.

Have you determined if this is a problem with your computer and not with your service?

Does something appear on the screen during the print? It sounds like another application is taking focus away. And when you say "full screen" do you mean a maximized window or do you make it full screen with ALT+ENTER?

Trying to think of one that isn't in use already is pretty tough. BSODs R US?

Certainly not FULL compatibility by any means, however I spotted a lone Windows 98 program/driver for the MSI NF725GM-P43 called AMD Cool and Quiet Driver.

If anyone wants to install their DevPreview in audit mode...
