You can try adding QTTASK.EXE into the AppLocker and disallow it to be run. I do not know if that would effect using QuickTime to play videos or not.

I have checked the compatibility, it is a Rev B1 and drivers are available. However, I was not able to get the USB drivers to work. I am using Win98 FE and any time I try to install the USB Drivers I get a BSOD. I will see about bringing a CD home from work. I've had USB working on this OS previously, but as noted it was with a different motherboard. I also had used Win98 SE USB files to get USB 2.0 to work. I have finally put Shiva where it will go. I still do not have a monitor for it yet so I used my trickery. Shiva is now a member of a (probably) insane setup. Here is the hook up: Shiva S-Video to AV switch box. Audio from green out on sound card (configured to run in 2 channel) to AV Switch box. AV Switch box (4 inputs, 1 out): Input1: DTV Satellite Receiver (Composite) Input2: PS2 (Composite) Input3: Shive (Composite Audio + S-Video) Input4: empty Output: VCR! Yes output everything to VCR, which can also play tapes still. VCR out to 4 channel (heavily modified by me) sound system. Video out to television. So Shiva actually displays to a TV, through a VCR. Maybe not the ideal setup, but it connects that way because the VCR handles all audio from all the components. When I get a monitor, I will use the TV as a second display. Also, because of the age of the TV, I can't read anything on the screen unless I set resolution to 640x480! I tested audio with Winamp (sound is better than from any other input) and some games. Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Diablo played, but Carmageddon 2 did not seem to like S-Video. Current task list: 1. Get USB installed 2. Playing movies problem! 3. Test out transparency OK weird issue about playing movies. I tried only playing movies in Winamp, did not try Divx or WMPC yet. But the videos play fine, no artifacts, sounds good but... they play UPSIDE DOWN! What can cause videos to play upside down? I've never seen this before, no idea where to start... EDIT: forgot to say I wanted to test out how well transparency works with the new hardware. I added that to #3.

The CPU itself isn't really where you want to focus on whether or not it is XP compatible. You want to see if the motherboard you have, or want to use, is compatible with XP, ie there are XP drivers available for it on the manufacturer's website. As an example. XP is supported on all Intel Desktop and Workstation boards currently available that support an i3 processor.

I wasn't sure about mentioning a program. My web server that runs Apache was installed with the XAMPP package. Also very simple. The only thing I had to do (besides creating logins) was change the port in the Apache files so it did not interfere with IIS. It was a 5 minute install, very simple. So with this WebPI you can run PHP on the same port as IIS?

I'm not sure if I am understanding you properly, but I can think of two things. 1. You can try pressing the Fn key + the F key with the trackpad picture with the X on it. Most notebooks give the ability to turn the trackpad off. I do this on my netbook because I like to use a mouse. 2. There may be software required in order for your trackpad to work properly in Windows. There can be both drivers or a helper program that allows you to use the extra buttons. Check the website to see if there is any new or missing drivers and software you may need to work your trackpad.

Welcome to the MSFN! Make sure to check out our rules. First thing you need to slim down that signature.

Today is the day! I will boot it up and attempt to get USB working. Once that is done, I will also try to get the internet going. I found a USB wireless "card". It is a D-Link DWL-G122 and there are Windows 98 drivers on the website. I hope that means that there are some on the CD it came with. But obviously if I get USB working, I won't have to worry about whether or not there are drivers on CDs in order to install them.

It would actually be VERY easy to do this, you wouldn't need anything besides the WAIK to do it. Once you realise the only thing about WinRE is it is a program that runs in WinPE you can put that program in your own WinPE. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to tell you anything more than that, but that little clue should be enough.

Right, Windows Home Server (its actually a modified Server 2003) is designed to run headless. Kind of like a super-NAS. More higher-end OSes may be Storage Server 2008 or SS2008 Embedded, but like WHS, they aren't designed to be used as a workstation. If you want to be looking at OSes that are going to be more PHP friendly, you may look at Server 2008 Web Standard. But honestly, I've yet to find any Microsoft OS (Server or otherwise) that is PHP friendly. IIS is such a pain to work with PHP (especially if you want .NET and PHP at the same time) and in my experience its just easier to use IIS for .NET and then use Apache (on different ports and DNS alias) for PHP on the same Server. However there may be a good way to do it, but I haven't been able to find it.

This script should get rid of both partitions. However I have seen diskpart act up before. Can you post the results of the following commands PRIOR to running the clean? list disk list vol sel disk 0 detail disk list part Oh also, if you run clean again does the second partition go away then? Also, lastly, if you use diskpart manually can you reproduce the same results? Moving to WinPE forum.

1. What is the name of the INF file you injected? 2. What is the output from diskpart LIST DISK?

Holy cow, I wish it was unlimited, that would be awesome!

In case anybody here is trying to do the same thing, I forgot to mention one thing; I needed to copy over "msvfw32.dll" from my workstation's Windows\System32 folder into the PE System32 folder. That's the only thing needed to get BIT Pro v6.0 working in PE3. Actually, if you look at the documentation for BIT on WinPE, you will note it is only for WinPE 2.x. Also if you look on page 2 of the manual, you will see a familiar name. If you find any differences between those instructions and how things are done with WinPE 3.0 (ie not using any third party apps like Make_PE, etc) I can get Passmark to update that guide.

I once tried Parachat, it looks like the newest version supports voice. They have more information that the link you posted, which means probably easier to get help if you try using it.

I was going to suggest ISA. SBS requires a domain, so if you aren't using one you don't want to go that route.

Oh I've never used any VMs for WDS, I use physical clients. I'm sure there is a difference.

I do not even know if our XP install would have worked on that notebook or not. I was able to read the HwIDs from Everest and just looked them up online. One of them was VEN_115D&DEV_000C which turned out to be the modem. The other thing I didn't write it down. Anyways working with that 98 notebook got me prepared to work on Shiva, which is great because I had forgotten alot about 98. It was SE on the notebook to answer your question. SE was the only CD we could find laying around, and it happened to work with the COA on the bottom of the notebook too.

Do you have an older version of Office installed? Remember that old app FINDFAST was responsible for PCs trying to read the floppy drive for no apparent reason.

What Burn-In program will you be using? I've made Passmark's BurnInTest Pro work in WinPE 2.1 if that helps.

It looks like its a DirectX 10 only game, and will not run on any (older) versions of DirectX. There had been some projects to get DX10 to work on XP but I don't think any of them ever worked well enough for anyone to swear by them. Note, Windows 7 comes with DirectX11, DX10 started with Vista. Your best bet, since there seems to be BIG news about this compatibility, would be to see if the game developer ever releases a patch to let it play on XP or not. http://kotaku.com/5478830/just-cause-2-wont-support-windows-xp

You can use any IP range on the NIC, say 192.168.0.1-254. Just remember that the computer can't have more than one gateway. You'll be using a gateway on the WLAN to get to the internet, so you won't be able to use a Gateway on your LAN port for the server. Do you need your wireless clients to be able to access the LAN clients as well? Or do you mean you want to use the Server as a Proxy Server so your lan clients can access the internet through the Server's WLAN interface?

Yes, the WinPE related passes go in the WDSClientUnattend.xml, the other passes are attached to the install images. Here is an example of my unattend file that is for the boot image. Yes it is for Vista but the passes are still the same.

Do you get this error on the client? I've gotten this error only when there was a network bottleneck OR if the Server (well my old server) ran low on memory.

Yes those Radeons do work in 98, but it can be tricky. There are no 98 drivers for the X series, I tried the X1650 PRO HD and no luck with drivers.

For both COMPUTER SETTINGS and USER SETTINGS, The values of "Group Policy was applied from" and anything under the "Applied Group Policy Objects" section. It may either have content (including a domain which you can edit the name of if you wish) or it may say N/A. If you do not see this, use GPRESULT /R. For example, I am using a computer that is a domain member, but I am logged on as the local administrator. Under COMPUTER SETTINGS, the Group Policy Was Applied From shows the domain controller. My Applied Group Policy Objects are: However, under USER SETTINGS, I have N/A for both of those. Even so, since I am using a computer that is joined to a domain (even if not using it) the Computer Settings GPOs still are in effect.
