The only time I've seen a server in the DMZ was if it is running a web server app. What is the particular reason you have it in the DMZ? Also I'm not too keen on the idea of having a DC in the DMZ... sounds like a possible security concern.

What tool did you use to make this CD?

I'm taking a look at a driver example. You may want to play with the idea at least unless someone else can figure out something (did you look for any PowerShell cmds? ) Taking for example and Intel NIC driver, e1k6032.inf (and I am aware not all INFs are created equal) I can see something along these lines for where it builds the Reg file: ; EnablePME HKR,Ndi\Params\EnablePME, ParamDesc, 0, %Enable_PME% HKR,Ndi\Params\EnablePME, Type, 0, "enum" HKR,Ndi\Params\EnablePME, Default, 0, "0" HKR,Ndi\Params\EnablePME\Enum, "1", 0, %Enabled% HKR,Ndi\Params\EnablePME\Enum, "0", 0, %Disabled% One would presume that if you have changed the Default it would be enabled? HKR,Ndi\Params\EnablePME, Default, 0, "1"

You already posted one! But try to join other discussions besides just your programs too. We love smiting spammers. EDIT - I see why you asked about your application now... It falls under this rule:

The only vector objects are shapes and paths. Fonts do not count! Let me try to explain. PNG will do one of the three anti-aliasing types (strong, feather, crisp) applied to a group of characters. So say you have a 14 point font object with Crisp AA. It will only AA at 14point, so doing a normal resize on the image will cause the pixels to appear. Because the resize is stretching a 14point font and not making it like 18 point or something in order to make it bigger. I believe Photoshop works in the same way as far as font scaling. Now Illustrator will actually scale up the font point size if you try to enlarge the image, as will using an SVG format, since "fonts" or letters do not specifically rely on the client to render them but are actually stored in a coordinate system. And of course, since you flatten the image in order to save you end up making any paths or shapes (which you don't have in the guitar_mike example) raster objects. Or technically they cease to become objects since the entire image becomes the one raster object and can't actually keep any metadata in it in order for the JPG or BMP to do something else... except keep a RAR file in it, but that's another story.

Yes or you could just look at the actual slot on the board. Then compare against whatever pictures are of the video card.

Neither of those PNGs are truely PNGs anymore, except perhaps if they had any alpha transparency in them. These are already flattened and not longer maintain their vector properties! I've encountered this before trying to export items from Photoshop in order to work on them in Fireworks, I found the PNG format is not preferrable. Photoshop makes them basically act like JPGs, which is why the zooming makes them appear to be JPGs. Also the color difference isn't a fault of the browser, as Fireworks shows them in that color as well. IMO, PNGs should only be used when you need a high resolution image that contains transparencies. For this, GIFs are not a good use, use PNG instead. Otherwise, the complexity differences are negligable in the PNG vs JPG debate. AFAIK the browser does not do anything with the layer or vector metadata in a PNG file. I rarely will keep a PNG around unless I feel the need to work on something again in the future. In that case, I can re-open an old PNG and make changes easily, but only if the PNG wasn't exported or flattened. This is even possible between different versions and installs of Fireworks. However for some reason Fireworks isn't a commonly used program so you'd be hard pressed finding any PNGs online that were natively saved with it. Example, PNG created by a different Fireworks on a different computer, opened on this PC (after it wants me to replace fonts) shows layers and vector properties still intact: And I made a PNG just for test with 5 layers. Two are shapes and three are word blocks. If I download this "yarrr" (its on Photobucket) and open it in Fireworks, the layers and vector shapes are still usable.

Did this texture pack fix your display issue?

Be careful! Not all AGP are created equally. I found this out the hard way when I realised my Voodoo 5500 wouldn't go in my D850MV board. There are more than one kind of AGP slot. Be very certain you get the right one or else you just have an expensive paperweight. Different AGP slots on ToW

Strangely MS has the offline setup in the same place as the online setup. Here is my way to get it. Go here: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-xp Select your language in the drop down. Right-click on the "download now" button and copy link location. You'll get a URL like this: http://g.live.com/1rewlive3/en/wlsetup-web.exe??WLXID=xxxx&RID=xxxx&TID=xxxx= change the URL to use something like this: http://g.live.com/1rewlive3/en/wlsetup-all.exe??WLXID=xxxx&RID=xxxx&TID=xxxx= So I just changed "web" to "all"

You posted this on Social too? Are you sure it isn't necessarily Windows 7 fault and actually something in the NIC's driver? I am going to think that this isn't a general setting, instead its a per-device setting. Anyways, there may be some extra info in Implementing WOL code. For example, it actually checks the current state of a NIC's power setting. You could skip this step, but have you tried using that code?

You likely will! Don't forget to use tags. Stay away from the [codebox] tags tho.

Welcome to the MSFN! Moving to Polls forum...

OOBE is designed to create a user account, even if you have enabled the built-in Administrator account. Just have your XML create a user, but still log in with the other account.

Creating an Unofficial XP SP4 is a fine project and you can definately do it for personal use. If you want others to be able to have it as well, you can provide the necessary steps on how another user can create it for themselves. Any links you provide for where a user can download an update or hotfix must be from an official Microsoft website. For any hotfixes that require someone to use the MS hotfix request page, you can post those links also. Do not rehost anything, including whatever tools you end up using. Always try to link to their original authors, unless that specific product is redistributable under a specific license, like GPL or so where you need to include the license file.

Are these print servers existing systems or are you talking about new deployments?

Of course! Some people can create wonders with MS Paint Me either. Everything I make is in Fireworks What kind of avatars or signatures have you done before? Do you have some examples?

Can you boot off the DVD drive?

MDT is like a WAIK automation tool. WAIK is the bare essentials but is more a manual method. Having some knowledge of WAIK will make MDT easier to figure out, but it may not be required to learn them in that order.

You have to realise that the forum is not as active on the weekend, and notice the trend that it is most active during "business" hours. There is an option to hide the IE First Run screen altogether. Would that be helpful? Contact your ESET rep. They can provide you a version of their software installer that is designed to be installed in Audit Mode. This version will remain dormant and only because active once the appropriate registry settings indicate that the OS is no longer in Audit Mode and has completed OOBE. Since these systems are destined for use in a domain, you can specify these settings in your AD GPOs. For the visual effects, you can create a theme and specify it in the unattend. Ugg this. I am wondering why you are needlessly struggling with this at all. I can't speak for your volume or purchasing department, but you should be purchasing systems with Win7 Pro and then upgrading them to Enterprise. That way you just build an Enterprise deployment that uses MAK/KMS for activation instead of trying to reverse engineer Lenovo's image.

Good you got it fixed. I brought up the RAID question because I had similar problems on a server which would either have the screen go black or the system would turn off/reboot with no Event logs relating to the shutdown. In my case, it turned out I had both a failed RAID member AND a faulty port on the backplane. The end result after troubleshooting resulted in loss of all data! But anyways, I had just remembered that behaviour so figured I'd mention it.

I'm going to wager that you've never opened WMM before, since it is trying to install it. From these logs (there is one for wlsetup and one for a DLL) it looks like something is interfering with the installation. You main error is here: SQM :00000F8C (08/07/2011 20:56:03.892) Warning: Failed waiting for the SQM session data upload (hr=0x80070109). Unfortunately, I can't find any actual fix to that problem. So here is what I'll recommend. Uninstall and reinstall Windows Live. I can tell that the version of Live you are using was installed by Lenovo or whoever you bought your computer from. Before you try, you can try to just install WMM: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-movie-maker?os=other And here is where to download WL for 2011: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials?os=other

post the driver package name or the download link so we can try. Some IS setups are flagged to not allow recording.

Log file doesn't say too much really. The log file you posted, was it this one? C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium 1.0.log
