Welcome to the MSFN!

I haven't had a problem with Flash so far but, now that I think of it, I never used it in x64. Flash for me in WinPE was in x86 and using Projector. Not sure if I have ever tried to make an x64 Projector or if it is possible. Currently, I do not have the resources to do WinPE testing like I used to, since my dev environment has changed radically. My only testing option is WinPE x64. The only reason why I am concentrating on x64 is becuase it can handle everything concerning deployments, with very few exceptions (such as creating recovery partitions with MBR.exe) so naturally I want to be able to do everything in x64. SVG is Scalable Vector Graphics. It was something I worked on back in 2003 or so, building regular graphics and also interactive graphics. I had found in the IE9 platform previews that SVG is making a comeback. The reason why this is cool (and a good competitor for Flash) is that it is written as XML files. Originally, you could only use SVG files in IE using the Adobe SVG Viewer Plug-in/ActiveX control. In recent years, SVG has been viewable without a plugin in newer IE (I think 8, not sure about 7) and Firefox and Chrome. The problem is that you still need the plugin in IE to use interactive SVGs but in FF they will remain mostly static! I had originally written a website that was all XML and had no pictures except for SVG. I ended up killing that site because it only worked in IE with the plugin, so it wasn't a viable option. Even with today's browsers it doesn't display properly or at all in anything but IE. The answer to this may lie in the IE9 beta for x64 but I don't have a system to try that on. I have uploaded an example of an SVG I made earlier this year for fun (also to show off to a guy at work who was trying to out dev me lol) http://tripredacus.net/test/svgtest.html You can see the differences in this between IE and Firefox, so even using Firefox files to render SVGs is not an option, and there is no x64 SVG Viewer plugin from Adobe. Wikipedia uses SVG a lot as well, especially for any articles with maps for countries, cities, etc. Their page is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svg

I see by your screenshot that you can access the internet (and use flash) in x64 WinPE. I'm not too concerned with IE, but can yours have the ability to view SVG files in IE? I've tried working on this (presumably if SVG can work in IE, then it can work in MSHTA) however the DLL that is used is 32bit and cannot be registered. Or is there perhaps another source besides Adobe to be able to view SVG in IE? FWIW, IE needs a plug-in for SVG files that are interactive. As far as I know, other browsers like Firefox (haven't tested Chrome) do not fully support interactive SVGs, although that may change once more adoption of HTML5 and IE9 hits RTM.

Moving this to Software Hangout for now.

You should find the answer in one of the Panther folder logs.

AFAIK, there are only 2 supported methods of getting into Audit Mode... Using an answer file during install or the Ctrl+Shift+F3 method. That being said, you CAN get into audit mode by running sysprep from a system that has already completed OOBE, but that could involve some issues. Careful doing anything with the Administrator account. Sysprep expects that the Administrator account is disabled when you have it boot into Audit Mode. I've seen Windows become corrupted this way!

There are only a handful of people that post here that can read minidumps! So if you don't get a response (you did post on the weekend and a lot of us are more active during the workweek) its probably because one of those people hasn't seen the thread yet. Minidumps are not usually helpful, and you will be requested to capture a full dump. Instructions here: While you are waiting, you can run memtest and an HD tester (WD or SeaTools as appropriate) to see if they reveal anything.

Maybe with your stay here we can get you interested in development too!

If you are going to be using audit mode, you should install using the autounattend.xml. There wouldn't be a situation that I would recommend running sysprep /audit from any other mode besides audit mode.

Some Intel motherboards have onboard dual-head video. So in these cases there will be two display adapters in device manager. The ones I've seen with this have the DVI-D, DVI-A and HDMI port. I think the DH57JG and another micro-atx I've seen that does this... Perhaps the D510MO but there are more than just those two. It is these types of boards you may have problems with if you do end up putting a video card in the system. Even if you set the BIOS appropriately, in the end the IGFX chip still decides what to do (the Technical Product Specs call this a "feature" rather than an "annoyance" but whatever) and you'll end up getting a Code 10 on one of those drivers. This is especially true of cards that either do not report themselves properly to the BIOS, or that the board doesn't have full support for, like the Matrox Parphellia series.

I know you can export out your NIC settings, I don't think you can save the logon settings, but honestly its not to hard to do. After you reinstall x64 your Network Admin (or whoever) joins the PC to the domain, and then Windows will automatically use a logon screen when you start up. This logon screen is the behaviour that XP changes to once added to a domain.

It also has a lot of warez in it as well. Refresh on the forum rules.

Look into the User State Migration Tool. Different versions allow you to move User Profiles between different OSes.

I have installed Nero 9 with this, it might be similar: (@ComSpec & " /c c:\temp\nero9u\nero9\Setupx.exe /i /qb /NS SERIALNUMBER=" & Chr(34) & "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" & Chr(34) & " REBOOT=" & Chr(34) & "REALLYSUPPRESS" & Chr(34) & " EXCLUDEAPP=" & Chr(34) & "unit_app_75,unit_help_75" & Chr(34)) This is in AutoIT. I'm lazy to convert it to normal words... Anyways, if you use /NS you still need to specify a serial number, which is used just to install. After the product has finished installing, the product key is automatically removed. Does this help at all? FYI the excluded item is the Ask toolbar I think.

Is this a video card in the system?

We have all sorts of things in the WInPE forum. I'll move this topic there.

This is interesting, I never really thought about it. I used to maintain USB keys that booted and allowed for BIOS updates and using Ghost clients. Originally we used the Win98 bootfiles that is in every version of Windows format tool since 98, but had to go to DOS 7.1 in order for certain NDIS drivers to load properly. We didn't run into any problems with creating these keys until we tried 4GB and 8GB keys. All the normal ones were 1GB keys and they always worked fine. Now it seems that USB Keys under 4GB are becoming a rarity. I never put 2 and 2 together and figured out why the 4GB+ USB Keys wouldn't boot into DOS 7.1 until I read this. If 1 and 2GB Keys end up going the way of the Altair, do you suppose there could be a way to fix this, at least for DOS 7.1?

I'm not entirely certain how to categorise products under the Live Essentials umbrella, but best guess is to relate them to Office. This idea that Live Mail is the evolution of Outlook Express, the stripped down version of Office product Outlook. I'll move this to the Office section, may see more action there since no one seems to like Vista anymore.

Might be this? net start SSDPSRV From here: I wish I knew a site that listed all the service names to use with Net Start.

These are different. The domain in UnattendJoin is when you want Setup to join the computer to an Active Directory domain automatically. The DNS Domain is likely the DNS Suffix, which is a domain name that is appended to the computer name, also it will search first within that domain for servers. Some network setups will require that the correct DNS Suffix is assigned to the computer, but this is only for static IPs. If your network has a DHCP server, you can have it send along the DNS Suffix with the IP address when the client requests it. So to better explain the DNS Suffix in a real world situation, we will use the example in the help file of FABRIKAM.COM. When your computer needs to go somewhere on the intranet/network, let's say you have a computer on the network called \\HELPDESK. Windows will send a request to the DNS Server for the IP Address for HELPDESK.FABRIKAM.COM. Also, your computer name would be COMPUTERNAME.FABRIKAM.COM (the FQDN) and usually the DNS Suffix is going to match the AD Domain the computer is on, but as I mentioned before, networks can be set up differently so this isn't always the case.

Different versions of Server 2003 have support for different amounts of physical processors. For example, Standard supports 4 physical CPUs. Does your vCPUs have multiple "cores" or are they being reported as 4 single core CPUs? There are also other versions of 2003 that may have a different CPU support printed on the install media. For example, remember that NT Server came in 1-2 CPU and 4 CPU install CDs.

There are two directions you can go with this: 1. Find out which program is causing the problem. 2. Ignore the failing program and decrease the wait timer. Both can be resolved in the following link from social: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7performance/thread/fb35a679-c9b8-4a97-95c4-39c60e218130 For the timer, search the post for this registry key: WaitToKillServiceTimeout
