Welcome to the MSFN!

Probably not, I think it might be a forum default. It just makes you have to be more creative. Here is an example: I was talking to this id*** and he didn't even know how to restart his computer! Here is a more creative way of saying the same thing: I was talking to this guy who blew his brain gasket and he didn't even know how to restart his computer!

The change you are seeing is probably because the intro movies, game menu and the game itself run at different resolutions.

I really need to find people that are taller than me...

Not sure about the real answer, but the whole "same driver" thing is for support purposes only. For example, I got a system to work with 4 different sound cards using 4 different drivers but it was not supported by Creative. So when I had a problem getting that to work in Vista, Creative couldn't help me, but I eventually figured it out.

You are going to need to get your hard drive string back in there. The OP was able to do this by copying the MBR of someone else's notebook hard drive and apply it to his. You'll have to read through this thread and try to find the answers, but you can ask questions if you are having problems with a particular program or concept. I understand how the recovery system works, but I can't give you any specific details or tools to make this work again. My hands are tied in that respect.

Well this is definately an OS problem. You are going to want to get a memory dump like Cluberti said, instructions here: At first glance, your STOP Error 0x24 would indicate a file system problem. Try mounting your WIM into a different volume. Also, are you running all NTFS disks?

I believe both of those programs are just a GUI for the underlying WAIK applications such as Imagex and DISM. There is really no harm in installing WAIK, I just wish that they made single language versions available as it would cut down on the download size.

You can also change the Specialize pass as well. If you do a test run, you can look up the GC Unattend folder, in there is a log which tells you where the sysprep file is. It is NOT always where you copied it (sysprep may move it), but I typically just keep it in the sysprep folder.

You aren't going to find a whole lot of info about WES7 online because most of it is behind passwords. If you downloaded this from your Partner account, you should contact your rep to see if they can find some documentation or other sites to get help from. There may also be a section on MSDN Social, but I'm not sure since I don't use that site. Microsoft does have an Embedded specific site, however if you are asking about it here you probably won't be able to access it. Also, MS doesn't typically handle Embedded support directly, they farm that out to licensed Embedded Partners.

Patches for Win7 usually doesn't matter what edition you are using with exception to specific updates regarding MCE or Bitlocker or anything else that is in Ultimate. Try using the Microsoft Update Catalog: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ You need to use IE to use that site. It also will install an ActiveX control.

This one doesn't even show up. Well to be specific, it appears if I just open the stock WSIM, but disappears once I load the webserver clg from the install DVD. I figured those other items couldn't be done via Unattend. I'm not sure how much responsibility I will have in getting the rest of those done, as I am not working directly with the software, only creating the unattend and the recovery partition. If I end up having to do that work on that part, I will take this info into consideration. Thanks

Why would you want to rename the Sources folder?

Which WE are you using WEE (Windows Embedded Enterprise) or WES (Windows Embedded Standard) ?

That's a fitting avatar.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I pulled a prank similar to that on my friend. He never really paid attention to his desktop icons before I did this. One time I was at his house, I renamed his My Computer icon to Your Computer. Well a couple weeks later he had to call his ISP tech support when he couldn't get online. We've all heard stories about the My/Your Computer thing with people, but it works a whole lot better if the icon is named Your Computer. Too bad you can't rename it on Win7.

I am working on an unattend.xml for Windows Web Server 2008 x86 and have just about everything figured out. The main issue I have is that I do not seem to have the ability to specify the Computer Name in the XML. You can see it if you highlight the component in WSIM: However, once you add the component, the Computer Name option is not there anymore: Is that just the way it is? Also I have questions if any of these can be done via the XML. I couldn't find any way to do them: 1. Turn of UAC: the Disable LUA option is not present for Server it appears 2. Disable screensaver: the Screensaver option under themes does not carry over when you add the component. 3. Customize what options appear in the Start Menu, such as the Run or Logoff buttons for example. 4. Set Visual Effects Performance Settings 5. Set Virtual Memory sizes 6. Set Windows Explorer options like View Details, full path display in address bar, show hidden files 7. Set the Event Viewer log file size limit 8. Add exceptions to Windows Firewall. 9. Set Local Security Policy settings 10. Add MIME types to Application Server Right now my answer file works properly except the Computer Name prompt comes up. Those additional things I'd like it to do will end up having to be scripted if the XML can't do it, and I'm cool with that.

Did you look at the sticky?

jaclaz I know, I remember that and also remember rebuilding the poll later.

The check for the recovery partition is when the program looks for a string in the MBR. If the string is not there, it will say that. I do not know what the MBR string is for this model. I am also not familiar with seeing this Ramdisk settings option, unless this is a translation.

What source folder? Sources?

What happens if you try to manually run it from the Tasks screen? I am betting you are getting an access denied when it tries to run. Can you try changing the account that it runs from, to say SYSTEM or something else just for testing?
