I use the old System Internals (now Microsoft) Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

If you can access the drive your setup is run on, you can see in Panther what step it stopped at. Actually I hope Panther saves your files if you reset it. Things like WinPE or NTFSDOS or NTFS4DOS can get you access to the log files. Since you made a screenshot, I imagine you used a VM.

I'm going to start by clarifying that the chat support guy mentioned "subdomain" but you said it was not a subdomain. Its a terminology issue for that. Example: Domain = domain.com subdomain = mail.domain.com or subdomain = anything.domain.com However, when I did email forwarding, I did not have to deal with the actual mail server address so this might be how they do it. For my webhost (this does not work now so if you email this address the message will NOT be EVER received) I said I want my domain email address info@tripredacus.net to be forwarded to MYEMAILADDRESS@yahoo.com. I had this set up for 3 different accounts, each pointing to specific email addresses. It was set up as info@ goes to yahoo1, musik@ goes to yahoo2, (else)@ goes to yahoo3 account. (else) meaning anything not info or musik.

I don't think a restore point is going to help you. You'll need to backup your original tcp.sys before trying to change it. A restore point isn't like the Recycle Bin, it can't restore missing or changed files. I'm wondering what you are doing with this PC that the connection limit has become a problem.... Are you running it as a server?

There are three Seagate threads up there. Which one exactly? EDIT: Nevermind, I see it. Lockey Lockey!

Win PE x64 does not have a 32bit emulator. Any assemblies used must be x64 ONLY. I do not see a 64bit native VNC to download on their site.

In the past when I've dealt with email forwarding (I did domain->yahoo) I dealt directly with my webhost, and as such I am going to recommend you do the same.

Ethan, this error you are getting (State 13) is a 550 Relay error. I have not seen a webmail service return this message. Send me a PM with an email address that I can send an email to, to see if I can get more detail out of the error. Also, make sure you comply with the rules listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;841091&Product=exch2003

Moving to WinPE forum.

If your not admin or so maybe you should remove it yourself from your quote ? I removed the product key from everyone's posts. They did not match any of the keys in Cluberti's links. In the future, if you see someone has mistakenly posted their product key, instead of making a (searchable) post like "remove your product key", use the Report button instead.

You can try running ProcMon on the game's process and see why it exits. That would be my next step. It is possible that an assembly is missing that it requires, like from an older VC Redist or some older programs needed the Common Controls patch.

Welcome to MSFN! Hope we can be of help and that you enjoy your stay.

I think it is. I only used FP2000 once and couldn't stand it. Never learned too much about it. Newer FP and Impression uses FTP in the background but as "Publish" option. For some reason Microsoft made it have to use an Extension to be put in IIS for this to work. Its also a good idea to know how to use DOS FTP, which you may have to in emergency (you are not at your own PC) situations.

OIC you got the audio working using the generic driver... I might play with this later. Putting it on my list! Well I'm stumped about it. I must be missing some steps. For one, where is this pnputil.exe come from? I can't use your program for this, I am wanting to enable audio for one of my existing PE, which people will freak out because I labelled it as "Virus Installer" in WDS.

Make sure your port is still open for the mail coming in. Telnet to it. Do you get any errors anywhere? Event Viewer? If you send an email from a gmail (or whatever) do you get a response from the mail demon? Also I think you should check to see if your domain got blacklisted... It does happen.

I suppose you could be right, except for the Hyper Threading part. The P4 used in three of those examples was the same CPU, it did not support HT. I was going to buy one that did but then I came across the Core 2.

that url doesnt work i hope to see this thread continuing I'm not sure what link it was supposed to be, here seems to be a start I found on TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd919179%28WS.10%29.aspx

If these games are the DOS versions (since you mentioned W98) you are going to have problems. For example, the DOS version of Warcraft II (Tides of Darkness) will not execute under Windows 7. However they made a different release (Warcraft II: Battle.Net Edition) which WILL work in Windows 7. The difference is that the BNet Edition was a "Windows 95" game rather than ToD which was for DOS. You can try using an emulator to run them if they are DOS Games. For example I used DOSBox to run WC2:ToD, which worked (even the sound) but had to configure it to detect the CD Drive properly. Some problems you may encounter running DOS programs in Windows (even with the command prompt) is it can't find the sound card, video plays in a resolution/refresh rate you can't see, or the program pins the CPU at 100%. Ah, Mr Snrub, I did not know about turning off DEP for making games work, I'll have to remember that one.

Is Windows smart enough to hide that program if it does not think you have a DVD writer drive in the computer? I haven't tried burning a DVD at home yet, but I do know that 7 sees my DVD-RW as a CD-ROM (which means I can't burn CDR with Explorer), but at work my PC sees DVD-RW Drive. If your Explorer sees your drive as something other than what you have (it could also say DVD-RAM Drive) you may have a generic driver installed. Just an idea.

I have an awesome printer that I've printed maybe 5 pages ever with. The ink is probably all dried up. I don't really have a need for printing, almost a waste but it has a scanner on it too, which I use all the time!

I do not see a problem with it being in Customizing Windows. While your method does involve unattend technologies, it would leave a bad example by keeping a Customization topic in the unattend forum. People already post way too many custom topics in the other forums, I think its best to keep it where it is. If your responders are asking too many unattend questions, you can edit your first post to put in a disclaimer to see other topics relating to DISM or WAIK or whatever.

Some notebooks use their cameras differently. I have tested cameras on MSI, Uniwill/ECS, Intel and Asus. Here are possible things that can cause this problem: 1. The Camera option is disabled in the BIOS. Some notebooks (Asus, some MSI, 1 Uniwill) will not fully disable the device if set in the BIOS and Windows can still detect it but not make use of it. 2. The notebook requires a firmware update to enable extra button features. For example, original MSI notebooks made for Vista needed a special update to use the buttons in XP, as HotStart was a Vista only endeavor. My brain wandered (aka i went away from this post to eat lunch) and I forgot what else I was going to say. Hopefully this is a good start.

I have no idea how you'd even "evaluate" that in the first place (swap RAM for some faster clocked in the same computer, and then see if something in flash somehow works better?), and I don't see how memory speed would affect it in any perceptible way. It's usually either network bandwidth bottleneck (wait for it to download before it does anything), or otherwise a mostly CPU-bound process (i.e. decoding HD H.264 streams and the like). You got me curious on how you got to that conclusion. Once a flash is loaded, it runs from the computer, not from the server. I'm not talking about watching videos like Youtube or JTV or something. Say we take a flash game (which I play on Facebook) and talk about the animation speeds. I've run 4 different configs in the past year and can see these differences in how Flash works. These results may seem strange but I can see the difference! Here is a list of configs in order of fastest to slowest: 1: Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz with 1.5GB DDR2@533MHz (7) 965 chipset 1: Pentium 4 2GHz with 512MB RDRAM@800MHz (xp) 850 chipset 3: Pentium 4 2GHz with 1.5GB DDR@333MHz (xp) 865 chipset 4: Pentium 4 2GHz with 1.5GB DDR@233MHz (xp) 865 chipset Flash speeds between the RAMBUS and DDR2 is basically equal. Although the Core 2 seems to make up the difference between the memory speed with the RDRAM vs the P4 CPU without HT. I went from the RDRAM system to the DDR and it was horrible. I didn't have a choice because my board died. It was an upgrade on the Motherboard side, but a downgrade in the RAM. Going to 333 from 233 was a HUGE difference in speed on Flash. Not as fast as the RDRAM, as noted in my little chart.

Do these products use MSI like the older versions do?

Putting drivers in the BOOT.WIM is for installation only. Put drivers in INSTALL.WIM if you want them to be installed in Device Manager. If you use your BOOT.WIM over a network, you need to put the NIC drivers in it, if you are not (like a custom DVD) you don't have to put in the NIC driver. If you look at the unattend.xml file, there are 2 main stages. The WindowsPE passes are the install portion, like formatting the drive and copying the image onto the drive. After that phase is done (all the stuff is copied), then it boots up and does the install from the hard drive. The same basic process was in XP as well it just looks a bit different now. You remember when you install XP, it copies everything off the CD to the hard drive, then it reboots and does not use the CD anymore, it uses the files on the hard drive. Its the same principle
