Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Dreamweaver has its good parts. Now after using CS4 a little bit, I still find that it can crash when directly editing CSS files, which was a bug that goes back to Dreamweaver 2. But for me, the only things useful about it are the code coloring and the Site panel/link changer.

WinPE registry is similar to regular windows. You can try to change ownership of that registry key to say, a service rather than the main account. That way, the key can be read but not changed. I can't remember how to change that atm. Just an idea!

I agree, reposts from other blogs or forums should have their source URL included with the post. This not only will alleviate the problem Jaclaz had in thinking it was something you (gosh) was working on, but it also will stop the original authors from thinking someone is stealing their work. This has come up on other forums in the past, and it is best to cite your sources, although you don't have to go TOW crazy.

I don't know of a tool like this, especially not one with sounds. Moving to network forum, best place for this kinda thread!

The Chasm - The Eclipse: Monument to the Empire

There are two steps you can try, one is a test and the other is the fallback in case the test does not work. The first, which is your fallback, is in case you have to reload Vista and want to keep things like your settings, emails, etc. And that is to use the User State Migration Tool. It is designed to take your settings from one OS to another. Instructions are all here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...28WS.10%29.aspx Once you get your settings backed up, you can TRY to migration your OS in one of 2 ways, both involve using Sysprep. It is located in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep. Here are your 2 different methods: 1. Sysprep /oobe /shutdown 2. Sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown You choose the first option IF the hardware in the destination computer is very similar, such as having the same chipset but most importantly SAME Mass Storage Controller. For example, if your current motherboard uses an Intel ICH9 and your new one does also, then this may work. While the other motherboard components may not end up being installed, if you stay on the same Mass Storage Controller, you will at least be able to boot into the OS. Otherwise, if you are moving to a different Mass Storage Controller, when you boot up, you'll get a STOP 0x7b. Option 2 if for moving to different hardware altogether. However there is a caveat to be aware of. If your Vista install does not already have support for your new Mass Storage Controller you will have to inject the drivers into the OS. This would require capturing the drive with ImageX and injecting the drivers with the WAIK. NOTE: you can only use the WAIK version for your version of Vista. You can't use the current one for Windows 7 as DISM will give you an error. This would also mean you need WinPE media and another drive (external hard drive, network share) to put your image on. There may be other options that I do not specialize in however. I don't know everything! In addition, if you generalize, Sysprep will remove any PnP drivers from your OS and you'll have to create a new User account in Welcome. Of course you can always delete this account and log in with your original one if you want. You should get that choice on the reboot. After either of these options, you can transfer the hard drive to the new PC. Now, what to do if it won't boot into Vista and you get an error? Well there are a couple options left. If this is a hard drive from an OEM computer, it may have a recovery partition. You get to it (usually) by pressing F8 and there should be a Repair option in the menu. It may be another key. If you don't have this kind of drive then you can also fix the problem with a Vista install DVD. In either case, you would want to do a repair install, or it may say "repair windows" or something to that effect. So, whether you can migrate the drive with just sysprep, or you do a repair install, after you are all back up, you use USMT to restore your original settings. However, repair install is usually good enough at keeping your old settings, but some shortcuts might not work among other things. If this seems too much, then just start clean. I can make no promises that any of these options will work out perfectly, except for the USMT which will work in either case. Hopefully everything works out for you.

Welcome back! If you do not remember your old username, and want to see if we can find it, send me a PM.

That's how I started here I think... I actually can't remember.

I am sure you will!

Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

An old friend of mine had once created a Windows 95 simulator in all Javascript. I don't think that site is online anymore. It was called FAW: Fake "ERRRRR" Windows. I bet you can guess what the A stands for. It was mostly complete but I think he abandoned it after a while.

If ProcMon reads a registry key, it will do a Read (or open and read) of a key and have a Success. If it does a write, it will be the same. If it can't find something, you'll get the NAME NOT FOUND error. I agree, it can be tricky doing it this way and there may be other programs that will better show what a program is doing with the registry besides ProcMon.

Find out what the upload speed is on the receiving network. AT&T (like other ISPs) likely have QoS set on the modems in a way where maxing out the upload speed will kill the download speed. So in this scenario, I can totally see that happening. You may want to set up QoS on that site to only allow the VPN Tunnel to use a maximum of 50% of the upload bandwidth, which will make your VPN connection slower but should help with the other users.

Ooops I found out why, that domain is blocked by our firewall.

I remember making a post awhile ago when spammers used my website's email address and sent me emails "from" it, but it turned out they just put my email in the from line. I was going to post something else but suddenly thought it would be a bad idea.

So you have tried multiple browsers then? Also can you resolve the DNS for it? What is your operating system?

Are you installing a video driver or have it in your install image? I believe the default resolution for the Standard VGA driver is 800x600.

Its unfortunate that a lot of mods for games have content that is not redistributable. The only reason why it isn't brought up is because the modding community as a whole (not just authors) is such a small percentage that no one really cares. It isn't until something gets really popular (ie makes headlines) that you find out you aren't allowed to do such things. Some examples are taking files (models/textures) from one game and porting them to another and others like when Dragonball Z Quake was going to come out and they got shut down by the copyright holders... Saban I think? Others are when you redist mods that have music in them. So not to worry, there is a legal way to do it. It involves making a straight up tutorial, and not provide any files except any programs you have written that do not break the EULA for the product. This means that if you can't redist these types of files, you need to tell your audience where to find the files on their own, and how to convert them to this other format. So you can't redist these DLS files, but your target audience (if using XP) should already have these files on their system. Let them do the converting themselves, and you can tell them how to do it. That's the best advice I can give.

iirc, Windows XP and Vista allowed you to install on up to 3 computers even if you didn't have the Family Pack. Microsoft took away this option in Windows 7 for some reason.

Check out Windows shortcut keys. Make sure the user can't get access to the system with them or the mouse if it has one. I've done some Kiosk testing in my time... Stuff to look out for: 1. Ability to get to notepad, or any help (CHM) file. 2. Ability to get to the Accessibility Center (Windows + U or L?) 3. Yes ALT+CTRL+DEL of course 4. right-click and option for save as, view source, other browser type options. 5. Access to Sticky-Keys from holding down SHIFT too long. Now these methods aren't "back doors" they are more like security failures in image development. I am presuming you are just testing for ways to get into the system from the Kiosk itself correct? Are they connected to the internet? Do they have WiFi or Bluetooth enabled? Are there any exposed ports?

Have you modified your Windows 7 at all, or also do you try open Photoshop as admin? This is strange because I run Photoshop CS4 (I have design suite cs4) at work with Windows 7 Professional x86 and have not encountered that problem. Also, is your account a limited-user or do you use the Administrator account?

IQ tests are all different and they all score differently. A single IQ test means nothing. What is to be done is to take and average all your IQ tests scores from multiple places and get a total value. So for example, on this test I got a 120, but on other tests I have scored higher and others lower.
