R2 is a separate product SKU altogether. AFAIK you cannot upgrade a 2008 RTM to R2. Its like how 2003 Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter are different SKUs. You can't do an in-place upgrade. If you need to go to R2, you are going to have to build a separate server, install R2 on it, and them migrate all the roles over. I ran into this question when we got our R2 media in.

This definately seems to be on the right track, but .txt files have a different registry layout than Zip or Compressed Files do. For example, it has: - OpenWithProgids - PersistentHandler - ShellNew Would I export ShellNew? Not sure how to continue with that. No Cluberti, I do not get UAC prompts, it just says access denied. The files are on a separate data drive. I do not save anything into my profile.

This particular problem is with certain Broadcom and N-Force onboard NICs. An example of a device (Broadcom) was posted earlier: Any Physical hardware component gets a physical hardware ID that typically starts with PCI\. Other hardware (including this Broadcom) are virtual devices, or to say they have their roots as being software emulated by the BIOS or elsewhere on the motherboard. Other types of virtual devices can begin with ACPI\ (ie: TPM) and USB\ (ie: laptop webcam). With the exception of specific driver support, I have never found a physically mapped NIC to not work in WinPE. Another possible way to detect a virtual device is where its IRQ is outside that provided by the motherboard, typically above 16. I had first encountered a similar problem with Ghost, which is what I had used to deal with these NICs. Ghost would reveal to me that the actual device is not always "present" or enumerated at the time I would load the driver for it. This is to say that the NIC has a different HwID at the time of POST, then the BIOS enables the device and then registers/enumerates the virtual HwID. This process could take any sort of time, depending on other components, quality of RAM, and motherboard model. Typical time is 10-30 seconds. Of course my Ghost implementation boots to DOS, which is a LOT faster boot time than any version of WinPE. However, perhaps a lead for you guys to try out. This may not be the correct page for you, so make sure you check it out first. But I find this info: Of course this is for NetXtreme II NICs. And in addition, it only refers to RIS, not WDS and only provides drivers for Windows 2000, 2003 and 2003 x64. The trick will be to find a Vista or Windows 7 "monolithic" driver to inject into the PE. http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php

This isn't a critical issue, but just a curiousity. Also decided to post it here in case other users wanted to comment as well. When you reply to a News post, there is an option to enable signature on reply. This box is checked by default. However (as it should be) the signature does not actually come up. I am wondering why this option is even there! Also, it says that I am a moderator, instead of Super/Global Moderator. Oh, maybe I got demoted and didn't know it!

This means that it comes in the mail on CD or DVD. You won't be able to download it. If you were supposed to get it, DHL would have delivered it. If your company is a System Builder, you should contact your Microsoft Rep to see if you can get it sent to you. If you are not an SB, but still within the OEM Channel, still contact your rep to see if there is any way for you to get this.

Moving to Win 7 Unattend...

So far I've got no problems with Windows 7 except one. Some programs I open won't let me save files unless I run them as Administrator. Its not all programs. Here is an example: I open a text file by double-clicking it in Explorer and it opens in Notepad. I make some changes, then do File->Save. Well it asks me if I want to replace the existing file, I click Yes and then it says Access Denied. The only way I can edit a text file is if I run Notepad as Administrator and then open the file I want to change. Other programs, such as Scite and Flash are not picky like that and I can edit things and save them without running as Administrator. How can I make Notepad work the way I want it to?

When I encounter this type of behaviour, I end up doing the following: 1. Change the DHCP range on the router to be less than the full scope. For example, if your scope is 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255, Then change the scope to 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.255. 2. Grab the following info from an ipconfig -all when the internet is working: - subnet mask - dns server - gateway 3. run the following commands: "ipconfig -release" then "arp -d". Disregard any information that is returned after pressing enter. 4. Pick one of the IPs in the range you've excluded, such as 192.168.1.5 and set that as a static on your NIC. Use the subnet, gateway and DNS addresses you collected from the ipconfig. 5. Reboot the PC See if this makes any difference for you. Sometimes, Windows ends up having problems when the IP lease from a router expires, and what happens is that Windows either doesn't make a discover to renew its IP, or does not send the ACK back to the router. I'm not entirely sure why this happens, but have seen it on numerous router brands and firmware versions. I've actually seen this happen on Mac OS 9 as well. Again, this isn't to say that this is the real problem. You should check event viewer for any network related messages (you may only see warnings or infos and not errors) and also check the logs in your router as well.

Someone wrote a program in AutoIT but there is a coding error. If this is indeed part of a virus you are lucky because the program is not running. Try using an anti-malware program to remove it. Look here for info: http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Anti-Malware_Toolkit

In my experience, you are going to need to know the exact hardware ID of each monitor, including the GUID and enumerated ID that Windows assigns to the device. I tried to do this for a client, and it ended up being impossible to use in a solution meant for multiple different configs. I was able to do it for ONE computer, but it did not work on another because all the values were then different. Perhaps there is another way to do it, if so, I'd like to know as well. Also I cannot divulge any of the steps or info I accumulated during my attempt to make that work, as all of my notes were retained by the client.

You didn't get a result likely because the filename is "randomly" generated. There are two ways to find the program that is starting: 1. MSCONFIG on the Startup Tab. 2. In the Registry "Run" If you are not comfortable with editing the registry, you can use CCleaner. On the Startup section, it not only shows you things from the Startup Folder, it can also show things that do not appear in MSCONFIG.

The home of knowledge Where People Go To Know

This means that a Windows service is crashing when Windows loads. It will then either restart normally, or not attempt to restart itself. You should find more information in the Event Viewer as to what service this actually is. Also note I have seen this behaviour occur on infected systems, but I'm not going to just come out and say that is what the problem is.

Definately get the updated Chipset driver package. If GIgabyte does not have it on their website, the Intel drivers should be fine. If the Intel installer has older driver versions than what is included on the XP install, you can definately have this problem.

You have a couple options. First look into the Event Viewer under either Application or Internet Explorer and see if there are any events with some detailed information. Also, you may have to install the Debugger and get the Symbols for your OS to get a memory dump from IE when it crashes. Does it always do this on the same website? Or maybe when you are on a page with either Java or Flash?

I never liked the idea of buying a website design or layout, or paying a company to make a website for you. Some exceptions exist, such as if you are a large company that can afford that kind of expense. Usually, that way is a lot more expensive than doing it yourself. And lastly, in my experience, once you make a website, you're never really done with it. There are always things to add, or fix if something breaks.

Indeed....

Wikimedia is ok. They are the same company. I could not find this link with google, thanks for posting the real link. B)

I've done a bit of research on Codebox with this version of IPB and there is no easy answer. The "code" concerning Codebox formatting and use is all over the place in the source, and would require a major modification in order to make it work properly. With a possible move to IPB3 in the future, any extra effort in fixing a complicated bug like this may well end up being wasted time.

Actually, in my initial tests, both my "new computer" and my "old computer" had the same video card. The only reason why I have a "new" computer is because my old motherboard died. Everything else (well besides memory) was the same. I only recently upgraded the video card. I'll have to pick up GTAIV soon and see how it works for me.
