  1. Yes - Going For The One
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. What is the error you are getting? Does HP have drivers available for this model on their website?
  9. Greetings Crabdance, I merged your two topics.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. While coming to MSFN may help your typing English, it probably will not help with the spoken language. Then again, it might not help with the typing either... have you seen how some of these guys spell?!
  13. Indeed!
  14. Unfortunately, Verizon isn't here in Eastern Europe... Well Verizon isn't the only one doing it. I think from all fiber based TV providers are doing it for competition reasons. When I worked for Verizon (4 years ago) they had the tech but it was still in testing, I think it still is. However a client of mine was having a conversation a couple weeks ago, he said they have that where he lives. I forget the name of the company, it isn't Verizon, but he lives in Canada. How lucky he is! But I've seen recently at stores some high-end HDTV routers but they don't seem to be good sellers yet.
  15. I'd like to do a little research here and see if anyone else is having this problem. So far I have encountered 4 Intel motherboards that run memory at the wrong speed. I am limited in what boards and memory I can use. Also on our non-Intel boards we cannot see what speed the memory is running at. It is possible that some of you guys may have this problem too and not even know it! Symptoms 1. DDR2 800MHz memory is read properly (SPD) in the BIOS but the actual running speed is 667MHz and the timings are wrong. 2. Windows 7 Recovery environment and/or Windows PE 2.x - 3.0 runs very slow. At first we did not notice that this was happening until WinPE ran slow on a couple machines. Normal boot time (PXE) for my custom WinPE 3.0 x64 is 3-4 minutes. On machines running the memory at the wrong speed it would take over an hour. Oddities Let's take a machine with 2x2GB sticks of DDR2 800, total 4GB. Of course this runs at 667MHz. 90% of the time, Win PE does not work properly. Then take out one stick and then Win PE works normal speed. Also works fine with 2x1GB sticks. It is determined that the memory is not the problem, but the board OR in some cases the BIOS version. We can take the memory and put it in another board and it runs at the normal speed and timing. We have since realised that Win PE does not always act slow when the memory is at the wrong speed, so we now check the speeds on everything, and we are finding too many with this problem. Now, if we decide to "overclock" the memory to the correct speed the system will run fine with 4GB. However this is not a viable option, as if you were to load defaults in the BIOS, it could cause big problems! And who knows what the end users do with these things once deployed into the field! It occurs to me that this may not necessarily be an Intel only problem but it may also be related (in some complex way that i could not explain) to other boards that have had the 4GB memory issue. Platforms that do not run properly 1. Windows PE v2.1 x86 from CD-ROM 2. Windows PE v2.1 x86 from PXE 3. Windows PE v3.0 x86 from PXE 4. Windows PE v3.0 x64 from PXE 5. Windows 7 Recovery Environment The last part, #5 was only tested because I did a full system check early on. So we start with a machine with 2x2GB. WinPE runs very slow. Shut down the machine, take a stick out, Win PE runs normally. Then put a Windows 7 image on the hard drive. Shut down the machine. Put the stick back in. Boot into Windows 7. At this point, Windows 7 runs fine. Then I sysprep the machine, reboot and set up the user. Everything runs fine unless I do a "repair" via WinRE. Affected boards - Intel DG45ID with stock BIOS: updating to current runs memory at 800. - Intel DG41TY all versions - Intel DG43NB all versions - Intel DQ45CB with stock BIOS: updating to current runs memory at 800. Boards not affected - Intel DG31PR all versions I would like to post the memory used but I don't have specific part numbers. If any of you find your memory is running at the wrong speed, please post what memory you have, perhaps this will help. We have had this problem with Crucial and Micron (Avant) memory so far. We do not stock any other kind to test. OK that's enough typing! Let me know your ideas, thoughts, or other useful information. Also if you have seen this issue too, please post the board, BIOS version and kind of memory used, even if it isn't an Intel board.
  16. What is in your setupact.log file? There may be more information there. Also, did you remove that DLL either physically or in the registry at all? Also, what programs are you installing before running sysprep? Would one happen to be anti-virus?
  17. Well some things never die I guess. It looks better than the original, but only for the hardcore fan or those still stuck in HL2 land.
  18. I bet you're going to love it when Verizon releases the WiFi HD TV equipment to the public! Just think, TV signal from the FiOS router wireless to any TV!
  19. Are you asking how much it would cost to write a program similar to that one? Or looking for similar programs and their costs? I only know Total Video Converter, which handles audio files even if the name nor website says it does. The Audacity project on SourceForge also can do audio conversion and has plugins to get other features.
  20. Crosspost: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mp;#entry906517 Verbal warning about crosspost, read the forum rules please.
  21. Did you get it on the first try?
  22. Welcome to the MSFN!
  23. Try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310426 WinPE has a regedit built in, but you probably need to load the hive and edit the PE's registry from another machine.
  24. Hey, I am having the same problem. Can someone show me step by step how to use drvload.exe "location of driver.inf" and wpeutil initalizenetwork. The drivers are realtek RLT8102 by the way, I am not sure i inserting the message correctly. I am tired. Well those ARE the commands. drvload e:\folder\driver.inf wpeutil initializenetwork You type that in the CMD in Windows PE.
  25. You could use AppLocker to block the ability to run Netsh.exe from any user or group on the computer. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...28WS.10%29.aspx
