May be a good idea to zip anyways. I have seen some log files that are huge! Maybe that's why.

The WinRE in vista is in a separate WIM. How do you boot into the Recovery?

For IE, you can download AutoIT and look up RegWrite in the help file.

Full driver package is available here: ftp://ftp.wsisiz.edu.pl/pub/pc/drivers/modem/cobra_win_95-98.exe Individual files (for inspection) are here: http://ftp.slavka.kiev.ua/pub/programs/DRIVERS/MODEM/CONEXANT/56K%20CONEXANT/WIN9X/ I found these by way of searching for the correct INF name (S215DT9.inf) like so: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=S215DT9.inf+ftp HOWEVER these will not install in Win7 x64 because these drivers are not only not signed, but they are not even for Windows XP. You can see it is all VXD (the old driver model) and not a CAT file in sight.

This is more of a programming question... You could try automating Devcon, or come up with another idea.

You can try ccleaner, but it only will get rid of registry entires that are linked to things that do not exist, so it won't get rid of everything.

Max compress on max doesn't do anything. You can do max compress on a fast and get results. Honestly, i tried some compress tests last friday and found I would only save about 300MB on my Win7 image from no compress to max compress. In our case, we were concerned about size on DVD (for x64) but after recompress at max for an hour and only saving 300MB it became obvious it wasn't worth it.

The basic Windows firewall is fine to start with. I use it but not the Advanced Security option. I also have a hardware firewall as well. For what I do at home, I don't really need anything more than that.

Discussions regarding the circumvention of legal Windows activation is againt the first MSFN rule.

There will be some duplicate items as I've been making Frontpage News topics and Forum posts with the same titles to link them.

There are thousands of fax modems out there. Could you maybe provide something more, like the HwID of it, or even the make and model?

Of course. You can do a max compress on a no compress, but you can't do a fast on a max. The article is on the Partner network.

Are you sure your program isn't executing? Or are you checking for its "run" by whatever it is supposed to change?

I'm wondering why this is in the web development section. How exactly have you set up your PXE boot? What is the server?

The amount of reboots do not matter while in Audit Mode, but you don't want to leave a system in audit for more than three days. I do not use MDT, but I know HP and other top level OEMs do not like to help make images for their customers. So, if you recreate your image from the DVD, you can try to do an unattend with it to boot it into Audit Mode (not use Ctrl+Shift+F3) that would be better. You should do some testing to determine what the best option is for you to use.

Yes this is definately possible, in fact you probably have seen it already. As you know inside the Install.wim (let's say index 4) already has another WIM in it already! It has winre.wim inside of it. MS Best Practice says that you should capture your first WIM with no compression, then your "wrapper" WIM can use the compression you want.

Its Mr Snrub's time again! http://www.msfn.org/board/calendar/1/event-12 I always spell that wrong.

Merged these posts. Do not post multiple topics for the same thing.

I am wondering if this isn't just a problem here. I have noticed users complain of this on other IPB forums I am on too. Everytime I click it, it works for me, but I do not use this feature enough to know if it is working properly or not.

Sometimes people just use what they know. People out there are still using Publisher and FrontPage to make websites because its what they have on their computer. You could also technically make websites with Word if you wanted. If you look at the code on that page, you'll notice there is a lot of extra stuff in there, which is a major complaint against webpage builders from Microsoft. There are other programs out there, some might be free, some not. In my past I had used the webpage builder included with Netscape's browser, and also used Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver isn't a free program, but there are free ones out there too.

I am going to guess (based on how I make recovery media) that the image on the Recovery DVD only has 1 generalize left on it. At least the ones I make do because they are based off a production image. So I can see it working the one time and not the second time. You are probably going to have to start over and not be able to update your current image that way. If you have any images that have no generalize left, you can only do offline servicing via updates and drivers injected with DISM, or registry changes. Any other actions would have to be done post deployment.

This page is written in VML (Vector Markup Language) which is a deprecated language supported in older versions of Internet Explorer. Seeing the code, it would appear that IE is actually displaying the page properly, while Firefox is ignoring some of the code. For example, a lot of the content not displayed in IE is wrapped with things like this: <!--[if gte vml 1]> This is asking if the browser has VML installed. IE is returning a false condition to this, and as such is not displaying the code inside. It is displaying all the objects marked with: <![if !vml]> It would also appear that VML has had some security issues in the past, and its language has been updated to newer versions. I would hazard a guess that your friend is using an older version program to make these pages that doesn't use the newer language. It typically isn't a good idea to create a website that requires plugins (especially ones like VML and later versions of SVG) unless you can garauntee that the target audience is going to have them. For example, if this technology was to be used on a corporate intranet, or launched from a CD, that would be ok.

Link removed. How do I get the OEM certificate? Its in the operating system. If you want to figure out how to do this type of thing exactly, you are going to have to do some searching. Users here may end up giving you generic information because this topic (while it does have its legitimate uses) treads very close to the "no bypassing activation" rule we have on the forum. So let's go back to your original problem, which didn't really have any hard info in your first post to go on. Have you already started something or are you looking for ideas? Where are you getting this HP image from, is it on the recovery media or from the recovery partition?

An important note, only settings in the OfflineServicing pass will be applied. I learned this the hard way a couple days ago.
