Right, yes that post does talk about WSUS and SCE, but if you look at the MS KB links, they will talk about using GP to push updates. I put the link for the main topic because you didn't really specify what you had access to, so WSUS may have just been enough, otherwise you'll need to dig deeper.

Can you post your server config, including what RAID levels you are using?

You need to specify the path to the INF. You can't just tell DISM what folder it is in or use wildcards. Also, um why are you using Powershell? Use the PE Tools Command Prompt from the AIK folder in the Start Menu.

I got bored with Starter on Wind so I formatted it and installed Windows 7 Pro x86. And somehow it is actually running Aero! Man this thing never ceases to surprise me. Just imagine what it could have done had I actually decided to put Windows 98 on it!

You can use Group Policy from your domain controller to push updates like that. Start here for more info: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums...3b-a8baac35b36a

What has the impedance of a voicecoil to do with the strength of magnets? Not sure, but it seems the speakers with higher impedence have a stronger magnetic field.

DevShed seems to be working now. Not sure if you'll get a response tho, that site is not as big as it used to be or so it seems to me. http://forums.devshed.com/hire-a-programmer-57/

This explains why everyone is editing their posts... Reminds me of IE8 Beta 1. Oh is this new Firefox faster now? I was wondering if I should update. I like how fast Chrome is but it is not as secure as my FF.

For some reason this thread just reminded me of MicroHouse. Alas, if i am ever trying to find a HwID, I do a string search in my drivers folder. In there I have all the downloads from DriverPacks and can usually find just about anything I'm looking for.

Right, well if Device Manager doesn't see it, don't bother fooling with the drivers or install package. It won't do you any good. You are probably experiencing a hardware problem or a related incompatibility.

I can think of, off the top of my head, an idea that may work. You can use Microsoft Security Essentials (free) on all clients. Then on your media server you install WSUS. Not sure if that is free or not, or how to get it if you are not in the Partner Channel. Anyways, then you can tell your clients to get your updates from WSUS and not from the internet.

If you are on Windows, you might have an option in Device Manager to let Windows power it down during sleep. Of course then you probably wouldn't be able to wake up the computer with the keyboard. But it Windows does put that device to sleep, then the lights might go off.

Ah yes, the old "bulk-eraser" trick? If you are fortunate enough, you can find a very powerful magnet inside a subwoofer! Other uses for such powerful magnets are to create magnetic field antennae for tv or radio. Oh, ah subwoofer should have at least 6 ohm written on it. Make sure the speaker can at least pick up a screwdriver, or if you stick it on your fridge you find it slightly difficult to take it off. But yes, no garauntee that will work to fully erase the data. I know commercial bulk-eraser does not even have a 100% success rate either, but if you go with a service like was mentioned before, they may have some sort of gaurantee.

Well, we don't have anything that allows for that kind of discussion here on MSFN. I know there is a "Programmers for Hire" type section up on Devshed.com, but their forum appears to be down at the moment. Check out that site when its back up and look for that section. Its 2/3rd of the way down on the index I believe.

Yes - Going For The One

It is possible to take a VHD created in Virtual PC 2007 and open it in Virtual Box. I've done it with XP Pro SP3 as the client OS and Server 2003 as the host. I don't remember if I had to do anything special to get it to work tho. I know that Virtual Box does have an import option however.

Well HP's website does not mention support for Windows 7 at all. It stops at Vista. That still shouldn't stop it from being detected. Try checking the hidden devices in Device Manager to see if it shows up there instead. Do any USB devices work on the port you are connecting the printer to? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...product=3339741

You are better off posting in that thread. Tech Support is strictly forbidden in the introductions forum! Actually it probably isn't, but still, use this place instead: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=137891

I can think of 2 options: 1. Have your install copy the program to install to the hard drive. Then write a wrapper (you can use AutoIT) that installs the program and then deletes the install files when it is done. 2. Put your app on a network share. Map the drive and then your drive letter shouldn't ever change.

Check the Sound Control Panel. Look at the scheme and see if the IE sounds are there. You can tell because it will have a speaker next to it. Look for Start Navigation, which should play the sound Mr Jinje posted. Edit: also look to see what Group Policies are enabled.

This fake antivirus is a pretty tough thing to remove sometimes. Other anti-virus programs won't work likely, as they get flagged and get put in the registry as not being allowed to run. They are put in keys that you cannot see, ie it uses rootkit exploit. If you can get into the desktop ANYWHERE, you can do 2 things: 1. Install Malwarebytes. GO to the folder it is installed, and rename mbam.exe to something else. Then run it. If this doesn't work then... 2. Copy Combofix to the machine. Rename it and run it. It may take up to 30 minutes to run. There is the possibility, depending on the level of infection, that either of the above fixes will break Windows. These programs are tougher to remove on XP than on Vista or 7. A Repair install may be your final option.

What is the error you are getting? Does HP have drivers available for this model on their website?

Greetings Crabdance, I merged your two topics.

You can install the media on another computer, but you would need to remove the OS from the existing one first. And technically, by "removing" it, you could simply delete the Windows folder. Make sure you delete the right one! Then you can go install it on another one, but when you activate you'll likely have to call the Microsoft Activation Center number for your area. If you get to talk to a person, you'll need to tell them exactly why you need to activate, which is you deleted it from your old computer and are installing it on a new one.

Yes, Windows 7 uses NTFS by default. I think that it is possible to install it on a FAT32, but your live CD should definately be able to read this file system. Of course there are a couple ways that Windows 7 can lock down its NTFS. One if NTFS permissions, they would have to have been changed from their defaults. Also EFS (Encrypting File System) or BitLocker or using the Trusted Platform Module.
