BANNED! Oh i guess it's Elvis' birthday too. I almost typed Evils....

I updated the driver for the NIC to the latest, which is still over a year old, and rebooted. Now I do not even have an Advanced tab, although the device still has the same name. How can I determine that these features are not being used? I won't be able to see if the issue is resolved as we won't be using Ghost likely until early next week. Hopefully this driver update was enough.

OK i had to make sure you made system req, and it seems you do. I will move this topic to Gaming Forum. I did some research and found that this game uses a file in the data folder (from the install disc) with custom cursors, and if that didn't get copied over then you won't see an arrow. It may also be a localisation issue. I see that this game is in multiple languages but also from Steam. What language is on the box, or maybe you got it from Steam. Also what language install of Windows 7 do you have?

I tried to both apply the hotfix and disabling the options manually. Both the same result. This occurs during the two scenarios: 1. Running the hotfix, before the screen with the Finish button comes up 2. Deselect/disable the offloading options in Device Properties, click OK and before Properties screen goes away DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP: 0xD1 (0x141, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFFADF8EF179E2) e1e5132e.sys <--- this is the Intel Pro 1000 driver Address FFFFFADF8EF179E2 base at FFFFFADF8EF0D000 Datestamp 45f08ad6 I stopped the machine from doing a memory dump because there would be no feasible way for me to get the DMP file off the drive. Both times I restarted and booted back into Windows using Last Known Good Config. So it seems Server 2003 doesn't like turning off those features. I did notice in the Intel NIC properties, concerning TCP/IP offloading, that it should not be enabled if servicing DOS clients, which we use the DOS client of Symantec Ghost. Any other ideas?

Can you post your system specs, such as video card?

Actually, Windows 7 went RTM on October 22, 2009.

I've got some questions about which Counters I should be using to determine the problem with our file server. This server is not listed in my Servers thread, but here are the specs: Server 2003 Standard x64 SP2 Intel Server board (likely 3210SHLC or other entry level Intel Server board) 4GB DDR2 533 2x Xeon quad-core E5320 1.86GHz healthy RAID5 array on 3Ware 9550 8 port A main concern is that the OS volume is also in the RAID5 as well as the data volume. They are as follows: C: is a 50GB partition and has 6.34GB free D: is a 1.7TB partition and has 287GB free While under load (load meaning an active GhostCast Multicast session is in progress) doing anything on the server is very slow. Examples are: navigating the Start Menu, opening Windows, traversing folders, connecting to 3DM2 (using IE6) and even the GhostCase itself is slow. Network throughput out during the Cast sits around 1%, and average perhaps 100Mbps. The network is not the bottleneck of the system, as our WDS Server has no problem achieving respectable speeds, and of course the physical system seems to suffer. After load is released from the server, it returns to normal. I ran the following Counters and all results appear nominal: Disk Current Disk Queue Length: < 1 (I did not get to capture this value before the load was released) Avg. Read Queue Length: 0.229 Avg Write Queue Length: 0.116 % Disk Time: 20.104 Network Output Queue Length: 0 CPU CPU Time: 21.870 What other Counters should I try to help determine the problem?

Network shares too I beleve, you can't share a DIR with Starter "out of the box". Nope, that's not true either. I can share a folder just fine. It has the context options of "Share With" Nobody (default), Homegroup (read) and Homegroup (read/write). If I do a properties of a folder, I can see Sharing tabs and Security tabs, which look the same as it does in 7 Pro and Vista. In fact, I've already used this ability and done network transfers of files.

Ah you guys are getting carried away here! If you want to capture the image off the drive, you only capture the second partition, NOT the System Reserved. Then on the new disk, you create a 100MB system reserved partition but do not assign it a drive letter. Make it the same size of 100MB. Then create a second partition that takes up the rest of the drive, assign it the C letter. Apply your OS image onto the C drive. The scripts I posted are for deploying the OS partition. Notice it doesn't do anything to the System Reserved partition except for creating it. When you first boot into the OS, Sysprep puts the correct files into the System Reserved partition. So... um make sure you sysprep you image before capturing it! Either /oobe or /audit should be fine.

Also, verify what your suspend state in the BIOS is set for. Some motherboards have S1 as the default, but the best practice mode (since XP) is for S3. It still is likely a driver, but figured I'd throw this in as well.

Would have never guessed this quote came from 2010.... I've gone long periods of time without watching TV or having TV service that was besides over-the-air. TV isn't a huge thing for me. Now that I have it, I'm only watching sports and movies. I don't particularly like television because I don't like commercials. I think the longest I went without watching TV was two and a half years.

The recovery partition is on disk 0. So if he did a clean of disk 0, that partition would be gone. A 1GB volume (run diskpart list vol or diskpart list disk) sounds more like a USB drive or possibly a card reader. If you do a list vol, you'll also be able to see the optical drive, but you won't see it if you do a list disk.

I'm a baseball fan. Haven't ever seen a Major League team play before. Closest I got was when I won Mets tickets from a box of Frosted Flakes, but couldn't make it there to see them play. Now that I have TV service at home, maybe I can watch some games on TV this year. Also I've been watching a bit of the MLB Channel, that thing is great.

On larger /INFOs, if I need to find an Index, for example, I'll do an command such as: imagex /info d:\images\temp2.wim > d:\images\temp2.xml Which is the old "print to file" command. On the server it has OPK for Vista SP1 (Win PE 2.1), not sure how it equates to WAIK version. If I just try to open the XML with IE, it will return a parse error because PE 2.x has a header on the file before the root node. And these first few lines are not escaped out or put into CDATA or anything, so the XML parser fails. Now I would just print to .txt and open in Notepad. Oh interesting that /xml switch you are using. I have not used that before.

Fallout 3 finally! Not too bad, its running on Medium. I also bought Katamari Tribute for the PS3 but I don't have a PS3 yet.

No Aero theme (means no taskbar peek, etc) No multiple user switching - one one can be logged on at any one time No multimon support No DVD playback support out of the box (you can install a 3rd party codec, of course) You also don't have things like domain support, streaming media support, or XP Mode or Media Center, but I figure those are obvious. Given that there's no real overhead difference between Starter and at least Home Premium, I'm not entirely sure why you'd run 7 Starter unless it came with a netbook (in which case it'd make some sense). That's actually interesting about multi-mon. I was able to use "twin-view" on this netbook already. I had that turned on when I was installing Vista in the VM because a monitor is larger and easier to read. Of course, this was done solely using the built-in external monitor function key on the keyboard. And no, it did not come with Starter. I installed it myself. Unfortunately, that 10k license thing with Starter is the only reason why I have not installed it anywhere else. I had to at least verify it worked on the netbook just in case.

When you deploy, you should create a system partition like I said. Then create a second partition that takes up the rest of the drive. Put Windows 7 on the second partition. Don't put anything on the system partition. Diskpart script example: sel disk 0 clean create part pri size=500 sel part 1 active format fs=ntfs label="System" quick create part pri sel part 2 format fs=ntfs label="LocalDisk" quick assign letter=c exit Then this is the imagex command example: imagex /apply z:\7PRO32\w7oobe.wim 1 c: bcdboot.exe c:\windows

It may be helpful to know your PC config as well.

I found this by putting "Windows 7 Language Interface Pack" into the technet search box. http://www.microsoft.com/unlimitedpotentia...ograms/llp.mspx

There is something in common to all the Windows OS and not in common to Linux concerning system time. All Windows OS will use W32Time to contact the Microsoft Time Server in order to get the correct time. Make sure this service is running, and also that your firewall isn't blocking it or the address it wants to go to.

I was sick that day and slept most of the time!

If you are lucky, Winamp might be able to see it.
