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...

Did you build your WinPE with the MDAC package? There's not a lot of info about how to exactly use it but you can find some topics about using MDAC in WinPE to talk to MSSQL. such as http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/33312294/problem-using-ado-in-the-winpe-image-from-mdt-2008.aspx

I can think you could easily make one in AutoIT. I looked at their example scripts and couldn't find one to do exactly what you wanted.

There is a Microsoft Agent present in your system! My first experience with this Agent is your little search friends like Clippy and the Dog/Cat/Wizard. Of course the Agent has since involved to encompass more of the operating system... B) But yes, some files will "return" if they are protected system files. Such files would give you a warning if you try to remove them... but these are more like shortcuts. If you want to get rid of some extra things in your new XP install, you should look at Add Remove Windows Components...

Personally, I've found rootkitrevealer to be lacking in some respects, as I have used it on an infected system and it wouldn't find anything. In addition I would recommend adding GMER to your arsenal.

Fortunately, Google has no such limitation. In order to search MSFN for terms less than 4 characters (or otherwise forbidden such as "color"), type this into Google: site:msfn.org usb

Hmm not exactly the same but closer... EC80R - Alien

Imagex will lock the file for writing/moving but not copying. If you look in the PXE Response tab on your WDS properties, you see an option for "Require Administrator... blah blah" which basically means only allowed clients can get the appropriate PXE response (ie download wdsnbsp) and be able to be imaged. This is more of a manual process however. I've never used this setting, but try out the Configuring the Auto-Add Policy on TechNet.

Searching file contents doesn't seem to work... I did find that installing a program makes it appear (as well as the uninstall option) on the Metro desktop. Also, the CPU beat me in Chess.

This is how to do it. I am not surprised that an MFC icon was not present. So this leads to something else. Possibly you have any programs that allow for customized icons like WindowBlinds (or associated programs), or have you made any modifications to your Windows files in order to have a custom look? Usually, if you end up with the "wrong" icon, you can get the pre-loading "default" icon that would appear before Desktop loads the correct icon, but unless your OS' default icon was changed to the MFC "blocks" icon, it shouldn't show up with that.

It seems most of the DV series has had problems with overheating. Of course in all the cases I've seen this as being the issue, it begins with problems with the wireless card. Does your BIOS have a system monitor option where you can see temperatures? I'd check it after the system locks up and you need to do a reboot. You can try running a memtest on it too. Else, keep track of what programs you have open at the time of the "halt" to see if there is some pattern.

By now you must have found the Win9x and 2k forums! Hope you like them.
