  1. I see it is disabled. Try enable the image and then delete it. But since it is disabled, it will not be an option for a PXE boot anyways.
  2. I believe that Windows Setup will ignore this code you posted. Did you build it with WSIM? The reason I am asking is because you are missing a few things. Compare the above quoted code to the following: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> Setup looks at the answer file to match the arch of the install to the XML. So since you do not specify an arch, it will skip those components. I do not know if Setup requires all of the information that WSIM puts in, but anytime you are having trouble with an Answer File, you should check it in WSIM after loading the appropriate CLG. Now, from the documentation it appears you can only use thes options in WindowsPE and Specialize passes. Source

  4. I'm not sure. The DNS Suffix is a domain name that a DHCP server can send to a client. Not all networks do this, or most home networks do not by default either. This can be important only for a few reasons. Some networks will not resolve DNS requests if the DNS Suffix does not match the domain the system is on. I've only seen this happen on ISP's ISDN and DSL systems, but I imagine you could configure an enterprise domain to do this also. I am not certain how this option is used with the XML, but likely this is also something you can do on a deployed system with the NET command? Does this mean this is the list it goes through for every request or just when it accepts the IP information it is given? Does this mean you can override DHCP information?
  5. The XML in the WIM format is actually compliant. However, any command you use to export it will put a text header in there that (technically) should be in a CDATA. So if you export it to TXT, take the header out and rename ext to XML, it will open in an XML editor. This comment is presuming we are referring to the same thing.
  6. It all depends on what type of media it is. As an example, third parties are not allowed to sell OEM Recovery Discs (yet they do) without a computer purchase. They are not allowed to sell OEM/Disty CDs (yet they do) without a hardware purchase. However, Retail media should be just fine. The reason you may see lower prices on Retail media is if they are EOL (end of life) or no longer being stocked by the distributor. You may also see lower prices on SP2/b media as compared to SP3 media. The real problem is that some websites that sell OSes do not use the real picture, but a stock photo. I never buy anything with a stock photo unless I have a history with them. Also, they do not list the part numbers on the media. Some Windows media do not come with COAs and some do! This would be helpful information. Or let's say (for example) you already have a COA but need the media. Well, the part number on the COA needs to match certain part numbers on the media. This is more true for XP and older OSes, Vista and 7 are a little better since you can install those without a product key and just call the Activation Center. Oddly enough, I found one website selling XP media that is listed as "refurbished"...
  7. What you are referring to as a User Account Picture (which was previously referred to as a Start Menu Picture) is actually called the User Tile.

    Hi

    Welcome to the MSFN!
  9. You can also do this with the Windows Boot Menu. However this option does not exist in SBS, not sure if 2003 or 2008.
  10. That is normal for the most part. It doesn't make sense sometimes, such as the keyboard and mouse working prior to this screen coming up. I think that Windows might actually unload the default drivers it used for your devices during install, and re-detect and try to install the ones from the installed files.
  11. The requirements say minimum Vista or XP SP2. You can see them here: https://www.mesh.com/Welcome/howto/reqs.aspx Have you tried to install it already?

  13. There is a bug in the skin in at least the Hardware Hangout. See this picture: Oh I forgot to mention specs. I am using Firefox 3.6.12. I will have to check how it looks at home, I have a different browser there.

    vLite topics go in the vLite forum.
  15. Use Google Translate. That probably doesn't make sense.
  16. Doesn't Gmail have a POP3 or IMAP option? I remember once configuring OE to use Yahoo with POP3.
  17. I was having some real problems with devices getting disconnected. My router uses DD-WRT so the first thing I did was go on their site and see what all those options did. I didn't change much, but the biggest one I made was I did a Site Survey. This option scans the area for other wireless devices, shows what speed they are using, what wireless channel, and the device names. Found that a few Wiis are on my street this way! Anyways, I noticed that all the devices were connected using A/B/G so I changed my router to N only. I also took note of what channels were being used and then set mine to use a channel that wasn't being used. These changes have increased my connectivity rate big time. Of course my PS3 hasn't been able to go online since the switch-over but that wasn't important enough for me. One plus on that is that Blu Ray movies no longer have all that crap that comes up since the PS3 can't go online.

  19. Nooo I want the old skin

  20. I made an update to the current version to v7.3. The Code has not been changed, I just changed the readme file. The SkyDrive link should still work without a problem.
  21. Drive burning speeds depends on what speeds the drive reports to the OS, as well as what speeds your particular program supports. Not all burning programs are equal, some may display different write speeds for the same drive as compared to others.
  22. Ah learning, this I can help with. Lesson #1: The rest of the forum rules are here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules Enjoy your stay!
  23. Also, if this notebook is has your school Asset Tag on it, you need to make sure that you are allowed to change the system.
  24. Yes or perhaps... who uses that blue field? That blew my mind when I first saw it. Reminds me of this skin a little bit.
  25. From what I can tell, you can't specifically share (or bookmark) a link and specify one skin or the other. You can if you copypasta to your own browser (you can see a hash in the URL at that time) but this compares against the cookie on your PC to pick the skin. If you pasted into another browser, the board default would appear. That being said, IP.B used to use something called "lo-fi" option which would actually generate a separate URL that always showed a skin very similar to the IP.Mobile skin. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any current IP.Board use that option, so I am not entirely sure it even exists anymore.
