There are many ways to do this, but they usually have a lot of work involved. The domain set up that Allen says will work, but there are other options. XP Embedded (maybe even 7 embedded) has a feature similar to DeepFreeze called Ram Overlay. It is a function of the OS and not a separate program. Another thing possible to consider is setting the PCs up as Thin Clients, or using something like Microsoft VDI.

What operating system are we talking about here? Are you using MDT?

That topic isn't locked, why not just ask your question there?

You should be able to do this with PowerShell, but you'll obviously need to have that installed on all the clients. I found a script that looks like it will do pendinging updates from WSUS and then you can reboot/shutdown. I have no experience with PowerShell but if you want to go down this path this topic can be moved to the scripting forum. Here is that link: http://poshcode.org/1932

I merged your posts. No reason to delete as it may help someone if they search for something similar.

Hmm that would be tough because I bet most of the games you can get from Steam wouldn't work on 9x, unless you just want to use the community part. I've got little experience with Steam myself.

I'll be getting more heavier stuff to listen to at work. I already did a transfer as I am (still) slowly building my HTPC but doing all the sorting during downtimes at work. I'm more than half done, but still going to get more "normal" types of things for quite a bit. Bob Seger - Katmandu

I have one of those giant platters in my basement on the wall. I've always wondered what data could be on it!

Hallo!

This is something I have yet to test out, since I am in the same boat as you. Seeing how I'm prepping for a move, I haven't the time for it. I did a little bit of reading, but the other router you need to look up how to use it as an Access Point, or as a bridge. So your main router that is connected to your internet would end up being your DHCP and work like a regular router. That was my idea at least. You may want to look into custom firmware like Tomato or DD-WRT in case those types of options are not present on the stock firmware. Anyways, its a bunch of research on your router models.

Are you saying that while troubleshooting this issue, it became the one in your new thread? Or are you saying that you are experiencing two sets of issues?

Just pick one image to troubleshoot for now instead of all of them. You are getting an error saying there is something up with the answer file. Make a copy of your XML, and change the sensitive data to xxxxx and attach your XML so we can look at it.

I just extracted those and they are definately XP/2000 drivers. No 9x in there. You can probably uninstall them if you can. Tracking down this driver is tough since all the links to ATI's website do not work anymore, and it looks like ATI does not have any Win98 drivers on it? I found another driver package that definately is for Win98, but neither of the INFs I found have your HwID listed in them. The file is located here: http://globalfilesearch.net/download.aspx?path=ftp.peliplaneetta.net/ajurit/naytonohjaimet/wme-8-03-98-2-041020a-018705e.exe If I can get any other ideas about what the old ATI driver was called, it would be easier to find... hopefully. Anyways, the path that led me to this particular driver package (to get the idea of how I found it) is. - Asus had a notebook with FireGL (same HwID) and had released an ATI driver v8.06 (haven't tried to find this yet!) - This driver package is based on the ATI Catalyst 4.10 for Win98/ME. - The original link from ATI's old website was: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wme-8-03-98-2-041020a-018705e.exe - Another search term possible: TS64MVDR7 Obviously, I took the route of finding the EXE file first.

First you need to check to see if the HwID for your device is in the INF you are pointing to. When Windows looks for drivers, it looks for the HwID in the INF. For the most part, Windows can be tricked into using a driver by just putting the HwID in the INF. However there are a few problems you can run into: 1. The driver components may not work properly with the device, some functions may not work like power save, or the signal might not be great. 2. The driver may not install properly because the hardware is different. You'll end up with a Code error on the device description. Worst case scenario is that you could experience a lock up or a crash. 3. Windows isn't that dumb tho, because it will end up saying the the best driver is already being used. This could be because of multiple reasons, such as the subsys being specified, a driver is signed, or the date/version is higher. In order to force Windows to use a driver, the best option (without having to learn exactly how Windows handles drivers) is to uninstall the current device and delete the already installed drivers. Even if you were to just uninstall the device and try to update with the "forced" drivers, Windows will reject it because it will still look at the other drivers on the system to find a better one. So you need to make sure those aren't there.

I feel that the timer is related to the screensaver timer. However if you miss your transition, it will change at boot up. By that, I mean I had thought the background changer in Win7 was related to my lock up problems, so I had noticed a couple things about it. If my PC locked up during a transition, the new wallpaper would change after a reboot. There is an option to have it choose wallpapers alphebetically, so you could arrange your images in ascending names. But the timer isn't exact as such that you can gaurantee that all of your PCs are going to change their wallpapers on the hour, every 3 hours. The DWM isn't really designed for that purpose, its just a neat little add-on. You may want to look into third-party implementations of changing the wallpaper.

What are we talking about here? Out-facing servers? Notebooks? Internal theft? Each of these have different needs and options.

Add a local user account on the Win7 PC to use for sharing. Share your folder to that user. When you go to view the drive from XP, type in those credentials you set up. Win7 has guest access disabled (not related to Guest account) since it is built off the Server platform.

I'm seeing that the version that Cnet has for Windows 98 is a v6.14.10.6521. I'm reading that some users (had) used sp30403, which isn't specifically for notebooks but designed for their workstations. I'll presume that it is possible for you to use this package on the notebook. Firstly, both sp30403 and the prior sp28806 are for the following: [Operating Systems] WIN2000=OEM WINXP32P=OEM [Devices] VEN_1002&DEV_5148&SUBSYS_01521002=ATI FireGL 8800; VEN_1002&DEV_4154&SUBSYS_00021002=ATI FireGL T2; VEN_1002&DEV_4174&SUBSYS_00031002=ATI FireGL T2 Secondary; VEN_1002&DEV_5B64&SUBSYS_01021002=ATI FireGL V3100; VEN_1002&DEV_5B74&SUBSYS_01031002=ATI FireGL V3100 Secondary; VEN_1002&DEV_5551&SUBSYS_15511002=ATI FireGL V5100; VEN_1002&DEV_5571&SUBSYS_15501002=ATI FireGL V5100 Secondary; VEN_1002&DEV_4E47&SUBSYS_01521002=ATI FireGL X1-256; VEN_1002&DEV_4E67&SUBSYS_01531002=ATI FireGL X1-256 Secondary; VEN_1002&DEV_4147&SUBSYS_010A1002=ATI FireGL Z1-128p; VEN_1002&DEV_4167&SUBSYS_010B1002=ATI FireGL Z1-128p; VEN_1002&DEV_5B60&SUBSYS_0F021002=RADEON X300 Series; VEN_1002&DEV_5B60&SUBSYS_04021002=RADEON X300 Series; VEN_1002&DEV_5B70&SUBSYS_0F031002=RADEON X300 Series Secondary; VEN_1002&DEV_5B70&SUBSYS_04031002=RADEON X300 Series Secondary; If your HwID is listed here great. If you don't know it, PCISCAN (among other things) can get you this info. Also, going by the sp28806.cva, we can find this line also to help us find the actual files we need: [Install Execution] SilentInstall="FireGL-8.043.1.1-WHQL-040907a1-017905C-HP\setup.exe -k HP's FTP does have the SP28806.exe on it, and you can try it out. ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp28501-29000/sp28806.exe Going further back in the versions, none of them (even the first) mention Win98. Maybe searching using the partial name in the SilentIntell section might be able to find something?

There is one on Cnet, but it goes to an outdated link on ATI's old website. So there should definately be one out there, but its not on HP's website.
