I am aware of that user's page. Also, ViewPoint doesn't seem to be the company those assets were sold to. Unless you can find where exactly those assets (Transitions) are held by, you cannot be certain that the product is indeed abandonware and in the public.

When you use Ctrl+Shift+F3 to enter audit mode. After you boot to the desktop, close the sysprep box. Then from start -> run you type: c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot /unattend:path_to_unattend.xml. You probably should make sure your XML is validated, or else you may have to reinstall again if Setup/Sysprep doesn't like the file, or if it isn't built properly.

Let's start with some info from you. 1. What OS version? 2. RTM or SP1? 3. x86 or x64? 4. Any warnings or errors in Event Viewer? 5. What size volume is this occuring on? 6. Using RAID or JBOD? 7. What file system is on this volume?

Yeah come to think of it, this forum is pretty old.

I wonder if the excessively long topic title may be related.

Yes, wrapper worms are very old. Lucky you got past it. I first encountered one when I worked in college. It was possible to remove the virus but then nothing worked anymore!

Not going for the original joke I saw that Vista is malware... It is definately possible that some accounts have malware that is only started when their account logs in. So it would be safer to scan on each logon. For example, it is possible to modify the properties of a malware so that it cannot start or run properly. In this case, a malware scanner may not be able to find it, even though it is still present. I'm not sure how concerned you would be about having remnants sitting around.

It was explained to me that the Amps are drawn from the notebook (or device) so a power adapter that has a max potential of more amps than needed isn't necessarily a bad thing. That is, the adapter does not force those amps upon the device it is attached to. Of course the voltage is another story. Personally, I will discontinue use of this adapter once I get the correct one for it.

There seems to be an x64 putty available (among other things) here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/links.html

Its being worked on currently. Hope to see it back shortly.

I remember I used to use the practice of First Step: remove anything not needed. Of course, over the years I've forgotten to do that as often. It would have worked out well in your case I would imagine!

I am not able to locate who is the current owner of the Transitions product. This product first appeared as a demo/shareware in DirectX and IE 5.5. Just because we cannot find who owns that particular product now, doesn't mean that it is actually abandoneware or in the public domain. To err on the side of caution, we can only take the stance that brand removal on a product is illegal. Please read our forum rules. We don't have them to be mean.

Yes you should. Use Imagex /info to view the images contained in install.wim. Then use imagex /export to export the specific image you want. Next create a new DVD, and instead of the normal install.wim, use the one you exported. It must be called install.wim however!

The only way I have found is to install the drivers onto a system. Then use one of those Driver backup programs to get the driver off of there. I did this with some nForce notebook once and it worked.

Agree. I can confirm that Putty works in WinPE, or at least the telnet ability. I got to a logon prompt on my Server VM at least. I tested only x86 WinPE, do not have the ability to work with x64 at the moment. PS: Putty has always been portable.

Here's a good example of a mis-matched adapter in every day use. My MSI Wind U100 wants 20V and 2A I use a MSI MS-163K AC Adapter that gives 19V and 3.42A I don't normally have this, but a co-worker stole my regular AC Adapter...

All the people I know that work with such activities (converting records or tapes to MP3) do it manually. If there was some magic program that could do it for you (oh and hope your tape deck isn't set for continuous auto-reverse) it would probably not be free.

Is it normal to be putting in such large reg files. Have you tried splitting this up at all? Also, your example has an extra code tag at the top. I hope your reg file doesn't have that in there.

Unless there is a WAIK for Vista SP2 (I don't work with Vista anymore so not sure) use the one for Vista SP1. Do not use the WAIK for Win7 for Vista, there are some backwards compatibility issues.
