I tried to make this file size as small as possible, but PB had actually shrunk the image size down. Originally it was 3840x1024... I hack-jobbed this background myself and set it to repeat

Honestly, I've only used WSIM once... to create my first answer file. All the others I've made were done in Scite or Notepad, using that one I created as reference. If you are cool with not having something check for errors for you, then feel free to try it that way.

Indeed Vinifera... I see you are using WindowBlinds yes? If you remove the selection color (effectively making it a null value) how can you know if something is selected? Doing something like this could cause some errors to occur.

The other thing I thought of would be to have your wallpapers in all the resolutions you need, then run a script to determine what the resolution is and use the appropriate wallpaper. I seem to remember the loss of the wallpaper alignment options from back then, but I got used to it.

I'm fairly certain that the setting in Autounattend will choose the network location for the network connected at the time of install/sysprep. That being said, it should prompt you if you connect to a different network afterwards. Or, say, if you do your install without being connected to a network, then at some point later you do connect it to an internet.

Is this a wallpaper that is to be used on multiple resolutions? You can just create a larger image with a single color, and then paste the wallpaper at 0,0 and save a new image.

It may be possible that a reinstall won't really solve your problem. Most notebooks that came out with Vista's release were underpowered for the OS they came with. Notebook manufacturers were previously running XP on fairly low-powered systems and were force to switch to Vista, thus barely meeting the system requirements. So let me ask a couple of questions first. 1. How much RAM is in the notebook? 2. What is the make and model? Notebook manufacturers had stopped providing the recovery media (due to the cost) and provided a recovery partition instead. There should also be an option within the OS to burn the recovery DVD.

Can't you use the Shift trick at disc insertion in that case? Of course learning to do it properly without triggering filter keys is another story.

What version of Half-Life did you install? I know the original version, like the GoTY 4 pack and earlier versions did not work properly in XP. Is yours this version or older, or is it a more recent one or from Steam?

I think, how that works, is google will have already cached a page to know what words are on it, then it will display what it thinks is "appropriately related content" for the page you are on. I can see how Google can "get it wrong" quite easily!

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:

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.

Have you tried any of the online options like TurboMeeting, WebEx, Gotomypc, etc? I've used the first two I listed, but only tried file transfer on TurboMeeting. Sending along a 200MB file took about 3 hours tho.

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.

DISM from Win7 WAIK can only service Win7, Vista SP1 and 2008 and 2008 R2 images. If you are using Vista RTM, you need the Vista WAIK. Also try manually running without the batch file (or check the DISM.log) to see where the error is and what it is specifically.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah those pictures aren't really URLs... the only thing in common seems to be data:image/jpeg;base64,/ Then a big scary string of numbers.

However, google video search has a unique value in the URL, which you may be able to block URLs that contain the following: tbm=vid&source=vgc

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.
