Any time your bridge or team network interfaces, the "bridge" is the one that reports its online status. As long as you are able to get online and do the sharing, you can ignore what the old connections say in Network Connections.

If you have no other drivers or software to install, you do not need to deploy the image into Audit Mode.

It used to be that sending people black faxes would just use up their ink and cause them to tear their hair out. Now its bad for the environment?

Macromedia Shockwave was the precursor to Flash back in the olden days. It was originally made so that people could make animated movies in Macromedia Director and publish them to a web page. Flash was an upgrade that allowed greater user interactivity, especially with ActionScript. I'm not too sure what Adobe Air is tho.

first the "lol probloms" is a memory of a past user... You shouldn't be activating in Audit mode, as Sysprep resets activation. Listed as a benefit of sysprep. I'm not certain of a way to activate in Audit Mode. The systems I work with are activated in Audit Mode but sysprep still resets the activation. Anyways, never had a reason to activate Disty Windows since it is not allowed per the license I am bound by. MSFN isn't meant to be anyone's personal storage. Even us staff have unlimited space for uploads I think, but I do not upload anything large here, because web space takes more money and potential to slow the forum down. You should check out Microsoft Live SkyDrive. I don't know a link to go to set one up, but here is the link to mine. I'm sure there is a way to set them up that way. What specifically do you need to upload?

The downloading of an OS isn't about whether or not you have a COA or license. Its more related to a product that is only legally available from one source. As everyone breaks their Windows EULA by modifying their OS, but even more so by redistributing it outside of official channels.

Spanish was originally removed by someone else, with note to read forum rules. I removed the Spanish again. In addition, you cannot redist portions of the WAIK as you cannot transfer its license. Changed link to MS download of the WAIK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696dd665-9f76-4177-a811-39c26d3b3b34&displaylang=en

You could try searching the stock INFs for the Hardware ID of the NIC. When you find that file you can remove it, change its extension or move it to another folder. Have you tried injecting the newer driver into your install image?

I have removed your duplicate topics.

It looks like the XMP spec is for overclocking your memory. It may be that this chipset cannot handle the additional voltage used by dual channel (think 3 sticks vs 6 sticks of RAM) when overclocking? Since this is fairly recent for Intel, it may become possible in future chipset revisions. It also looks like the ability to use XMP memory is highly dependent on the CPU you are using. Some say you need an i7 Extreme series CPU.

The official instructions have you copy the winpe.wim into sources\boot.wim. So you have the "original" and untouched winpe.wim, and your production boot.wim. You could just skip that whole step and use the winpe.wim. It doesn't need to be called boot.wim either, you could call it bananas.wim and WDS isn't going to care. Basically, if you did the xcopy winpe.wim sources\boot.wim, AND you mounted and modified the boot.wim, then you need to add that one.

Microsoft recently released a tool called Express Deployment Tool that I checked out the other day. After going through everything, it turned out to not be of any use to me, since I already have a custom setup that does everything it does. Concerning a "Cloud WDS" is a subject I'm interested in, however I already have a working Cloud WDS model and can't particularly share it because it would be a "business secret." However, this tool from Microsoft may give you some ideas or potentially be just what you are looking for. The link above does go to MS OEM but it doesn't require you to be logged in to get there. It does say it requires the OPK Tools, but I am wondering if maybe it will work with the WAIK as well. At worst, you may need to have a standard Partner account to log in.

I believe that bootfix.bin is the file that has that prompt. However, I find lots of info on how to put it on a CD/ISO but not a USB key. You can try just putting it there and see if it prompts you.

You can use Windows Backup that is in the Control Panel. I can't find the appropriate documentation on TechNet at the moment, but you can use Windows Backup to create an image of your OS. Then in case of failure, after running recovery or reinstalling the OS, you can load the System Image Backup back onto your system. What is Windows RE?

Oh really? I ran Windowblinds on a 133MHz Windows 98 PC with Transparencies enabled, and yes it was a little too slow. It would lock up after 10 minutes of moving windows around when transparencies were turned on. However my current Win98 PC has no problems running Windowblinds (it has the same HDD in it that was originally in the 133MHz) as can be seen here: Anyways, we have a forum about modifying Windows appearance, so I'll move this topic there.

The only problem I've encountered so far is that some websites that "say" they need to install Active-X controls, the prompt doesn't actually show up. I only use IE for MS websites, and have only seen this on the Update Catalog website.

Its because of bootfix which removes the "press any key to boot" message. Also BIOS differences can cause different results. Some BIOS will see a USB key as a removable drive, or as a fixed disk. And you can change these settings. Some BIOS have a "boot USB devices first" option as well. So you could see there would be a lot of differences in people's personal experience. Here is one example: On an Intel desktop board, it will see the USB key as a hard drive, and will boot off the USB key if the hard drive is blank. After the install is done on the USB key and reboots, it will boot off the hard drive because the Intel BIOS prioritizes HDD to UFD for booting. If you still needed to boot off the UFD, you can change the Fixed Disk boot order in the BIOS or use the One-Time Boot Menu. I currently do new installs using a DVD and a USB key that has an answer file on it.

This is one of the greatest misconceptions about that screen shown during Safe Mode boot. It doesn't FAIL at MUP.SYS, but whatever loads AFTER mup.sys. If you do a Step-By-Step boot instead, after you choose Y to mup.sys, it will prompt for something else. I would start looking there. Also you can try to turn bootlogging on.

There looks to be drivers for this model, so that's a good start! Win7 Drivers

I believe that MED-V is more on the lines of XP Mode for the Enterprise, which lets you run XP in a VM on Win7, but managed on a Server. There is a comparison here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff458350.aspx

Firstly, Hirens is warez and you shouldn't be using it. Second, disconnect all external drives, including any USB keys or whatnot. Also make sure you optical drive does not have a disc in it. The blinking cursor usually means that it is having trouble using the bootloader. Have you tried safe mode?
