  1. Is there no unattend/silent install option for that product? I got away from using coords in AutoIT early on because of resolution differences. Or you can use the Info Tool to get button names instead.
  2. Welcome to the MSFN!
  3. Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
  4. I typically do not update this too much regarding hardware changes or interesting stories. I should actually go and take out the systems I do not have any more. Anyways, Uncle Socks was the idea for this thread so here we go! 7Server and Uncle Socks have been off for a few weeks because they weren't needed. Well I've been working with my lackey on a new project, mostly discussion of, how to bring back the old Linux imaging via WDS idea. Well we got to the point where we wanted to try some things out. The original project hit the shed because I couldn't get WDS and AD to work together to pre-qualify systems to boot into the Linux bootrom vs WDSNBSP. Because I am fairly confident on my ability to recreate WDS servers, as well as the stability of our existing systems, I did not see a reason why we can't just convert 7Server to natively use the Linux bootrom. But things are not so easy just like that. So I had pressed the power button on Uncle Socks but it did not turn on! I took the system out and tried another PSU. The computer would then boot. Great! I say, except that the chassis it is in is severely EOL to the point where finding a replacement PSU to fit the custom form factor would be impossible. So I went on a journey into the warehouse and found a 5 bay chassis that would fit the board and a new PSU. I also was able to find a brand new motherboard layout sticker to put inside the new case. I started rebuilding it at about 9am, went into a meeting for 1:30 and then was able to finish it in about 30 minutes. So with the meeting in the middle, it felt like it took 4 hours to rebuild it! I also went and got the label maker to print 2 new "Uncle Socks" and "Chinese Warlord" stickers for the front of the new system. As far as labels go, all I need to do now is get a new Asset Tag printed for it, but that will have to wait until next week. Next, I go hook it all back up to the KVM and turn it on. The system boots! It gets up to the "configuring network" part of Windows and I realise that since it has the Infrastructure FSMO, it is probably looking for the 7Server. Hit the switch and (unlock) turn on 7Server. It boots, sees all the ram, has a healthy RAID5 and boots into Windows. I log into the system, then switch back over to... Uncle Socks is not on anymore. Go press the power button, the motherboard makes a wacky beep... Thermal Errors! Oh no! Try to go into the BIOS and system powers off. Everythings plugged in. I had a (real) builder look at it, seems fine. Its lunch time now, so after wards I will see what else I can do to make it work. Uncle Socks will live again! Update: The CPU paste was all old and crumbly. In the process of reseating the fan, I busted the pins. So a fan replacement fixed it.
  5. Well, even Microsoft doesn't really support IE9. I would think that if a particular forum feature doesn't work properly in Beta software, IPS would be a better place to report it. I am sure there will be a forum update when IE9 goes RTM!
  6. I noticed you also said LocalVariables. Have you tried using Global variables for those?
  7. You may be able to find those drivers in the XP DriverPacks but you are going to need to do a hardware inventory of what is needed on the system. If it doesn't hurt, you can install the OS and see how it works out.
  8. Presuming that works, other USB devices such as keyboard and mouse should not work either. When I get a system with one of these card readers (presuming not a notebook) and I have to use an XP CD on it, I just unplug the card reader from the USB header on the motherboard.
  9. The drive that Windows is installed on needs to be C. And change the reagentc command to point to the correct drive letter where Windows is. Unfortunately for the masses, the technet info is amazingly vague/complicated and missing some important steps. I wonder why MS even bothers putting it online like that.
  10. If you are going to such lengths to protect your system, might as well just use BitLocker or a related technology...
  11. I've closed the topic in this link. Try to keep all your questions about multibooting USB in one thread. Do not make multiple topics for it.
  12. Please read the forum rules! I will close this topic
  13. this isn't a competition! ;)

  14. Based on the picture, I don't think CSS alone will be enough. My first thought would be moving towards JavaScript/AJAX, Flash or even SVG.
  15. I found out why Fallout 3 wouldn't work on Windows 7 for me. It had nothing to do with anything I posted before. I was bored yesterday (bye week in NFL) so I thought about playing Oblivion again. The first thing I did was look up if anyone had problems on Windows 7. The biggest thing I found is that Oblivion would not open if you had multiple monitors. So on a whim, I looked up Fallout 3 on multiple monitors and found it had the same problem. So I reinstalled Fallout 3 and migrated my save file over. And then disabled my second screen and YAY it works! The sound is a little goofy (its using the wrong surround channels) but besides that it is fine. I hope that New Vegas doesn't have that problem... I will need to upgrade my RAM for that anyways.
  16. See if it has a windowed mode instead of full-screen.
  17. I've only used WSIM to create answer files for it myself.
  18. Windows XP can use N speed. Some notebooks do not support N Cards. You need to post your notebook model.
  19. I'd first try using another keyboard. I have no problem using either ALT key. Also post what Win7 you are using including locale. There are some programs you can use to remap keys on the keyboard, but I don't think that will be a fix.
  20. I think they license different packages based on the size of the company? Similar to how there are different versions of Office.
  21. I can imagine. Some people hate that I have a password on my home PC and absolutely let NO ONE USE IT, but then again it has no problems operating that way.
  22. I noticed that first link does not work in Firefox (it complains about plugins) but it does work in IE8. I believe it requires Silverlight. Have you tried it that way?
  23. If it is actually not a Perl file and the PL is a country code, try using _pl in your naming scheme.
  24. I would need the HwIDs for these devices before I could try to find INFs.
  25. Welcome. I removed the link that you posted. Please go read our forum rules. If you want feedback on your website, and it is not a commercial one, you can post about it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/4-websites-and-boards/
