I am starting to understand this whole "getting slower" thing as you age.

Welcome to the MSFN!

Welcome to the MSFN!

I guess it also depends on where you are located. I am sure that in China, Chinese is the top language! Or say, if I call someone in Taiwan, they speak English but usually not very well. I am certain they would be glad if I could speak their language instead.

Did you try using bootsect.exe? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749177%28WS.10%29.aspx

Easy, just don't go to the site anymore. If you want to make sure you don't log back into the site. Log-out and then delete all the MSFN cookies. Then if you ever come back to the site, you will be a Guest.

I can't find what the full path is that this folder is shortening. It would appear to be a legit path. Can you post the full path?

Try running the program off the RAMDISK. This means that if you do not have this app in your X:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 then you should copy it in there. But this is interesting, I use 1 PE (Win PE 3.0 x64) to deploy XP, Vista, 7, 2003 and 2008 with out even having to write to the MBR.

There are a bunch of wireless posts in my Project thread, maybe some will help you. I'm not at that stage yet myself.

This may not exactly be an XP question, but a software question. Basically you are looking to create a keyboard macro to do a certain task. You have multiple ways of doing this, but there are a couple things you'll have to figure out: How to set a specific key to run a program. For example, you may have a key you can press that opens your Email, or opens your browser. You may have some generic programmable keys, or the ability to change how those other keys work. Your keyboard should have come with software to manage these keys, so check in there. Alternatively, there are third party programs you can try that will remap keys, or even key combinations. Second you are going to need to figure out what your program is going to do. This could be a batch/cmd, or a program created from a scripting engine (AutoIT, Kix) or a programming engine (VBasic, C++) or a script file (VBScript, Powershell). Each one will be different as to how the script works, and not all of the above may be capable of doing what you want. I'm pretty sure this topic should be elsewhere, but not sure if Software, Hardware or Programming. I'll leave it here for now to see if any replies can help determine what direction this topic will go in.

The profile appears to also count posts made in "non-counting" forums, such as the Introduction forum. This would also explain why my post count is 100+ in my profile than on the board. This is something that *might* get fixed by resynchronising the database, but its such a small issue I wouldn't even worry about it.

We are well aware of the link issue. In fact it was around in the last version. I don't think there will be a major upgrade like this for a while, since we are now up to date. Xper has a bunch of things to work on already, this is one of them. He can only do one thing at a time. I personally do not like the "friendly" mode, I preferred the showtopic=xx method, but as long as the board works, I'll deal with it.

This line looks suspect: I know it says Office14, but note your other office14 paths are in the correct folders, not this MIF5BA~1.

You should definately report this to your bank as well.

That key is for their recovery media. You can't use the COA (sticker) key along with SLIC, or at least it isn't supported. I think there are posts about how to get the key from the install. You'll have to search for it. I can't tell you anything about it myself.

It looks like you dropped a folder or a bunch of shortcuts into the taskbar? or maybe Quick Launch? If possible, right-click on one of those and do a Properties, and find out where those shortcuts are. Once you find them, either shorten up the names or remove some of the items.

I haven't tried any games yet because I am currently running without a video card. Before I had installed Win7, I made sure to find my sound card drivers on Creative's site. It was not very easy since looking up the model number had zero results. I found elsewhere it was an Audigy 2 equivalent. After I installed the driver, the computer wanted to reboot. After the reboot the Creative update wizard opened up and it downloaded new Audio HQ and Alchemy versions. Also I had to set my BIOS to disable onboard audio, and had to configure 7 to use my card as 5.1, because by default Windows Sound wanted to only use 2 speakers.

You can select a post icon as well, but its a little different here. We also just went through an upgrade so we haven't figured it all out yet. When you make a topic, you have a Post, Attachments and Options section. In the Options section, if you click the + "Click to configure post options" you will see where you can select an emoticon.

i guess

I see this domain is blocked by NoScript, so I do not see it. For your question, yes the board will have ads that appear. I do not know if Xper has them enabled for revenue or if it is because of how this new board is.

Firstly, I don't understand what you mean by "a file" and second, what program are you using to burn the disc? You can get the boot image (boot.wim) from the Vista install CD, or possibly on a recovery partition if you have an OEM computer.

That is interesting, as I am using a Creative card in Win7 without any problems, even full 5.1 surround works. Anyways, you should change your Windows Updates to download but let you choose what to install. That way it won't install anything you don't know about already. I just set up my home PC with 7 today, and saw right away it wanted to download an update for Creative but I chose not to since I had just installed the Win7 drivers and everything works fine. Which sound card do you have? I am using a Sound Blaster Gamer PCI. I bought it in 2002.

This is a hardware related issue, as such, moving. A Windows install cannot make the hardware act up like this. Such as keyboard not working, POST related issues, or system resets. Once your hardware problem is resolved and you are once again starting out with Windows 7, make a new post in the Win7 forum.
