Install Real Alternative 2.02 to WinPE3 problem
Tripredacus replied to PE3MakerNewbie's topic in Windows PE
I don't think it adds DirectX by default, at least the one I made doesn't. Ask about adding DirectX to Make_PE3 here: -
Why doesnt SP2 show in Add remove programs?
Tripredacus replied to skalis2000's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Updates that are included in the source are not removable from add/remove programs, hence why it doesn't show up. The same is true if you had slipstreamed hotfixes or other updates. -
Install Real Alternative 2.02 to WinPE3 problem
Tripredacus replied to PE3MakerNewbie's topic in Windows PE
It would appear that file is for use with DirectSound, but have you tried to integrate DirectX into your PE? What method are you using to build your PE? -
That's true, but wouldn't that be a bad idea? Would the FBI really want people to know all the techniques they use for code breaking? Probably not. I am going to guess that they tried all the applicable types on the wikipedia page for cryptanalysis, plus probably some techniques that no one knows about.

Do you like those movies where the characters have to figure out some kind of code in order to solve some mystery or get some place? Well those types of code exist in real life, but sometimes they can be nearly impossible to figure out. Want to give it a try for yourself? Well there is an unsolved murder case where the victim had "encoded" notes in his pocket. Its been over 10 years and still no one knows how to decipher them. I gave it a shot, and ended up with a headache. Sure I can see patterns in there but can't make heads or tails of it. The victim was said to have come up with this technique when he was a child and authorities are hoping that if they are deciphered, then they can get a glimpse into his past just days before he was found, or maybe even identify a suspect. You can see these two notes here: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/march/cryptanalysis_032911/image/gallery Note: some members outside of the US may or may not be able to go to this website.

A couple of Windows 7 questions that I need answered.
Tripredacus replied to clivebuckwheat's topic in Windows 7
You'll still need to know how to select it. You can select it by the disk # or the volume letter. For example, if you are having problems with the item showing up as 0 or 1, but it always gets the same letter, you can offline it that way. I just tried this in the WinPE: sel vol c offline disk If you need to bring the disk online, replace with online instead of offline. -
I'm going to say you probably should find a new source of information, as the operators of that website had their account suspended.

RAID volume healthy but empty
Tripredacus replied to Tripredacus's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
Interesting thing. It turns out that somehow every file and folder on that volume became hidden. I am backing it up right now in another system. However, it doesn't explain why the C doesn't show up in Disk Management. -
Spam inside my e-mail using MSFN forum
Tripredacus replied to myselfidem's topic in Site & Forum Issues
A user had replied to a topic with spam. It happens a lot. Unfortunately it was one you set to watch, so the forum emailed you that a new post arrived. This was normal. The posts have already been deleted and the user was banned. I do not think it is really possible for us to stop spam from being emailed like that. If we were to add a delay on the email in order to check them, people would complain they are not getting notifications. Do not worry about that Abuse header, that is normal. -

I am not familiar with 2004's settings, can you change the FOV value? This also helps with being able too see "farther." In my experience, FPS (and even ping/lag) can be overcome by timing adjustments. Of course if you have the ability to remove these hurdles then that would be better.
-
You may want to look into any programs that can read HwIDs out of the system. Or you can *try* using Devcon (on 32bit) to install the audio driver. I am sure some of these other guys may have better ideas.

autounattend with access to winpe command prompt
Tripredacus replied to sscoop's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
You can build a WinRE install by Customizing the WinRE Experience to allow the ability to launch a custom "tool" or installer. -
A co-worker of mine was having problems with reliability of his computer, using Windows 7 Pro x86 on an Intel DX58SO board. There were two volumes set up as: RAID1 OS RAID1 Storage He went back to a previous Restore Point, and the Storage volume appears as healthy, shows its usage % but the folder appears empty. The current RST driver is installed. Here is the view in My Computer. Yes I am not sure why System Reserved shows up with a drive letter! It is on the RAID1 OS. Also note how it does have files at least in the usage indicator. Of course you didn't believe me, but the drive is empty! Another issue, in Disk Management, the OS volume DOES NOT show up. Only the second RAID1. Curious, it shows the System Reserved on the second RAID, but it was on the first RAID? What is the possible cause for this and how to be able to see the data? Also I can't seem to find the RST software for this board yet, but the board level software shows that both RAID arrays are healthy.
-
Why exactly are you opposed to a repair install? I had done a repair install on my old XP system and it saved all settings and everything was exactly the same. I even had used the wrong media type to do the reinstall so I only had to activate Windows and it was just like before.

A couple of Windows 7 questions that I need answered.
Tripredacus replied to clivebuckwheat's topic in Windows 7
The reason why Windows sees it is because the motherboard is enumerating it even while disabled. This isn't really a Windows 7 issue, as not all motherboards are created equal. I've seen many instances where something can be disabled at the BIOS level and still appear in Windows. Here are some examples: 1. On an EEE PC (700 or 900 series) you can disable the Wireless in the BIOS. It still appears in Device Manager but is not usable. 2. On the D510MO, you can specify to use PCI-E video (which on most Intel boards will disable the onboard video) it indeed uses PCI-E video, but still leaves the onboard detectable in Windows. And as you can imagine, this can cause some video configuration issues! So basically, I am not surprised that you have disabled something in the BIOS and Windows still picks it up, but this is the fault of the hardware and not so much the OS. -
Can you be more specific as to what equipment you are using, Operating System and software?
-
800x600? Try the native resolution of your display instead. Framerate should be at least 80 I would think.
-
That's for sure. Good graphics aren't for competitive games unless you can get away with it, or you are skillful enough to play at a lower framerate. Most competitive players I know try to make the game as fast as possible, even if that means the game ends up not looking as good. For some people, after you get really involved in doing tournaments and other match types, you are more interested in getting better scores than just playing the game.

Integration Versus Audit Mode?
Tripredacus replied to alvinkhorfire's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
Thanks for this info, I always thought (wrongly I guess) that if you use no compression your install would be faster It probably is, and also might depend on how you are deploying images. I am always deploying on gigabit networks, from a high-end server with a RAID10 volume, multicasting, etc. So for me, perhaps an uncompressed image may deploy a second faster? No idea, whatever the speed difference is, in my environment at least, the difference is negligable. -
Yeah I think the only reason you would need a "current" gaming machine is if you used shader and high-res graphics mods on your game. But since you're playing UT (I can relate to it because I still play Q3) I can tell you there is a plateau for older games like that. For example, I ran Q3 (all max with frame limiter removed) on 6 different hw configs. For that game the performance level just stops as soon as you hit 2 cores. That being said, no further improvement in gameplay (speed or otherwise) after a P4. To say that Q3 runs the same on a P4 1.7GHz + 512MB 800MHz RDRAM and a Quad Core + 4GB DDR2 800MHz seems strange perhaps. Yes Q3 is a bit older than UT2004, but I am sure that it also has its own height of performance increase at some spec or another. So like was already posted, it is entirely possible that you can get the same amount of performance from a (current) low-end system than you would get from a (current or even budget) gaming system. In my opinion, the only reason you should consider buying a new gaming system is if you want to play some newer game. Then you should tailor your specs to running that game, instead of the one you currently run because anything newer is going to make UT2004 better, BUT only up to a point.
-
Even the version I have only let me extract one at a time, but there were less than ten files in that one particular place. Another option you may have is to Deploy the OS to the notebook. Then install the driver update manually. Take note of the HwIDs of the device, or check the log file. Then you can use a tool like DriverForge to extract the driver files. Then you can inject those. Only problem seems to be DriverForge is obsolete. I haven't tried the new program yet.
