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.

I think they license different packages based on the size of the company? Similar to how there are different versions of Office.

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.

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?

If it is actually not a Perl file and the PL is a country code, try using _pl in your naming scheme.

I would need the HwIDs for these devices before I could try to find INFs.

Mine does that also. I just ignore it. You can clear those "notifications" by clicking the down arrow next to the number.

The WAN Miniport is a virtual device. Because of how Safe Mode is (even Safe Mode with Networking) the drivers/services that creates these "devices" may not load. Also it is entirely possible that even if they were, they would not work. What is the reason for needing WAN Miniport in Safe Mode?

I am going to presume that the 3.99GB image is the install.wim or the Install Image. You cannot boot off of that. The process is you Boot off the Boot Image (Boot.wim) and that looks to Install.wim for the content. Is there a specific reason you are using PXELinux instead of WDS that comes with Server 2008?

Make sure your 2008 is R2 and not RTM in order to achieve the highlest level of compatibility. Regular Server 2008 is equal to Win PE 2.x.

I'm about to restart up a new/old PXE project myself.

I am wondering how you got DirectX 10 to work on XP... I remember there was a project to port it to XP but it was abandoned. Did it start back up again?

No body answering the post is not an excuse to make more topics about the same thing. here is your other one: Closing this one.

Hmmmm downloading the OPK. I don't like the sound of that. Typically Microsoft mails you the OPK... They come in big yellow envelopes... If you are not a Microsoft Partner in the OEM Channel, it is not legal for you to use the OPK Tools. You need to use the WAIK. If you are in the OEM Channel, you need to contact your TAM on documentation to use the OPK Tools, however this information is also on the Extranet.

I've only made one image with a MAK key in it and that was on Monday. I did a test and sysprep the OS, but it said I needed to manually activate. I am not allowed to activate KMS keys because they aren't ours so I didn't see if it needed to be online to do it or not.

Hoenstly, you should build your install media without the XML file in it. Then put your XML onto a USB key (in the root of course) and have it plugged in when you boot off the DVD. Server 2008, Vista and Windows 7 will look in the root of all drives for the Autounattend.xml file if it is not on the install source. This also gives you the ability to use different XML files with the same install media.

Also I think a problem is that not only does Explorer read all the files, but it then needs to figure out how to show them to you. The words are real easy, but then it looks at the file extension to figure out which icon to use. Not only that, I suspect that it actually does load the metadata into memory during this process as well (the info that appears in the hover tooltip) since that info usually appears quickly. I know there are ways in the registry to disable tooltips, but I do not know if it also disables the collection of that info or just don't make it appear. If there was a way to not show different icons for everything, I bet it would be a lot faster too.

I'm pretty sure this feature is enabled by default. All the Win7 systems I have used do this, in fact even better than XP. It may be something that has a dependency on something else, but frankly I wouldn't know where to start. Have you modified your install at all with vLite, RT7Lite or something similar?

It also works if you put the default install key into the WinPE phase, and then the MAK key in specialize. http://www.cluberti.com/blog/2009/08/11/default-keys-for-vista-and-windows-7-deployment/
