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.

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.

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.

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.
