Did you do the recommended restart after installation but before trying to delete the files?

Program is 32bit AutoIT compiled .exe.

UCyborg, I put into my specs the consideration that the average user would be wanting to use the popular, poorly optimized websites like Facebook. Using that specific example, my Win7 x86 PC with 4 GB RAM and a quad core is not powerful enough to use Facebook for more than 5-10 minutes before the browser takes up all available RAM and stops responding. That's not Windows 7.

For files outside of the protected paths, this is not a normal behaviour. I would check for malware, encryption software, or backup software.

Windows 8.1 is a SFF/tablet/emerging market SKU, which could only be the reason why it was installed on that HP. As an example, in the US, that OS would not be allowed to be put on that hardware, as can be seen in the specs which primarily shows Windows 7. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03364089 If you had purchased this PC new from HP and it came with this OS, then you would need to get the recovery media from HP. Otherwise, you'd need to get a new license for an OS, Windows 8.1 or otherwise for reinstall. Because Windows 8.1 with Bing is not a retail edition, the installation media is not made available to the public.

Done

Uhhh changing Mojang accounts to MS accounts? Does this mean I'm going to have three MS accounts or will I get to merge the Mojang account with my personal account? Also, I had thought that Minecraft had even worked on Windows 98 up until now. When did that change?

I don't see any list.

FWIW jaclaz post is in regards to the picture bphlpt posted and not what dencorso posted. Now we are talkin 1971 in Brazil, what do you suppose the possibility is that it was a local product? Searching for "abridor de cartas" doesn't seem to help much... was this what the thing actually was sold as, or is this something that you have just been using it to open envelopes but was actually designed for something else?

The English requirement on the forum is for text posts, not for screenshots. Our users are from all over the world and we have no expectation that the language on their computers is in English. If you see something in a screenshot in another language and you do not know what it says, you can use an OCR translator, or transcribe it yourself into a translator program, or worse case, just ask the poster to translate for you. Otherwise, ignore it if you do not want to go through the effort to try to help someone.

Serial port doesn't discount VM usage. Is the SSD a SATA SSD, M.2 or NVME?

Perhaps you can copy /b them all together into one file.

Well, Reddit and their derivatives killed off traditional forums, not Discord. As I put earlier, Discord is a chat program. The design of it is totally foreign to the layout of a forum and using one as a replacement for one is unwise. I've been a member of a forensic/archiving discord and being able to find any information that isn't recent is a nightmare.

Any reason to not use a VM instead?

There are various posts about this error already in this section, have you looked at any of them? Such as this one: https://msfn.org/board/topic/163657-asms-missing/ Since this is your first post into this section, perhaps you can talk about what steps you followed to create your install source.

Well, for one, you can easily change the firewall rules from the OS. For example, in Windows you can create/modify/delete rules in the Windows Adv Firewall with netsh, or using an API call. Certainly a hardware firewall isn't some magic foolproof thing, but a virus or malicious actor is less likely to be able to change rules on a dedicated firewall vs the one that is just a program on your computer.

Stay on topic or fare thee well.

I will get back to you on the disk that is inside. I looked at what that BIOS offers and doesn't seem like something I need.

I have an R61 which is a bit different than the T60 that I am in the process of setting up to be my secondary notebook. It will have Windows XP Pro SP3 x86 with RAM Overlay, and I also want to see if I can dual-boot it with a Windows PE v10. The reasoning I figured to have an XP system is specifically due to the inability of modern OSes to connect to certain websites that use old TLS or sunsetted certficiations, such as what you would find in older network hardware. With the RAM overlay, it would be "safe" to use this XP system on the modern internet. Here is a post that compares the model you talk about and the one I have: Ref: https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=625145&sid=2275748362f2f4a630518fb0e8bbc120#p625145 The only real downside I currently can feel with this notebook is the weight. Since my notebook bag has this Thinkpad, as well as the MSI MS-163K and a wireless router in it, in addition to the three power bricks and whatever else is in there, it is quite heavy to be lugging around.

This post reminds me of a strange (business) decision that my local ISP which is a cable company has taken up. Having had worked within the system in the past (but not the current company) I have some additional insight into how it works. For the cable modem that is given, the "speed" that the modem can attain is defined by a QoS Template applied by the CMTS. The ISP has a list of templates supported by each modem type (normally depending on DOCSIS standard) that matches the service plans that they offer to residential or corporate accounts. Info on QoS here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/cable/cmts/config_guide/b_cmts_Quality_Service_Features/b_cmts_Quality_Service_Features_chapter_010.html#con_1060803 Now to consider this situation, which may sound familiar to anyone with a cable internet subscription. The fact that the current offerings by your ISP do not match the plan that you currently have. For example your ISP offers 100/500/1000 options, but you are currently paying for 10 or 20. The company does not remove a QoS Template once they stop offering the service, otherwise your modem would either not work or you would be getting a speed different than what you signed up for. This was the situation that I was in a couple years ago. I was paying $70 for 20/1 and I called up the ISP to see if I could get 30/10. The minimum I could get was 100/10. A person may think then, how could I only get 20 if the minimum is 100? Well, that QoS Template applied to your modem is still active, and they do not go through any sort of effort to balance out the speeds when service plans cease to be offered but continue to be billed. And the reason for this is highlighted in a previous post: Comcast is a cable ISP as well, and the cable system still runs under the original design of sharing bandwidth. The reasons why the speeds can change at different times is based upon node utilization. The node is typically going to be limited to the geographical area that is connected to the Head End branch location. Someone or a group of someones are utilizing more traffic than usual, so the speed will decrease for everyone else. These days are different than when I worked at a cable company, modems nowadays are using data compression to push these large (over 50 Mbps) speeds. The slowdowns are miniscule when a higher priority connection is using more bandwidth than usual, due to the compression. Most people would notice a change in download speed on this type of network, but IIRC there is some mathematical formula that relates to upload and download speed, and what determined what the upload speed can be besides what the QoS on the modem says it is.

There are various ways you can block MsMpEng.exe from even opening, have you tried anything relating to that? For example, using the DisallowRun registry key.

My own personal thoughts on internet-only PCs with 64-bit Windows are these minumums: 2 core 2 GHz 8 GB RAM SSD or 7200rpm HDD, 80 GB Now for maximums, yes a regular person buying a PC just for internet isn't going to actually make use of a CPU with more than 4 real or fake cores. They would see a difference between 8 GB and 16 GB RAM on a 7200rpm disk but likely not on an SSD.

I have a different question and perhaps I am just mixing up terms. Would this allow DOS to boot in UEFI?

It is worthwhile to point out that the "Capacitor Plague" was a current issue, where failures were occurring within the warranty period of the hardware. Most computers will get a 1 year warranty, while volume orders can potentially get up to three years depending on the manufacturer. This is not relating to the fact that capacitors can and do wear out, or that any computer (or electronic device) with a failed capacitor today is any way related to that situation. The unfortunate thing about this is that while the actual brands and models of capacitors have likely been identified, it would be impossible to know what computers or devices they were used in. This is because capacitors are typically one of the components that are not locked in to a particular PCB design, and that the manufacturer will change the ones they are using based on pricing and availability. This is why you can end up finding motherboards or video cards of the same hardware revision using different components. So if x capacitor is identified as potentially being faulty, and it is found in x board, another of x board may not have it. Since the issue was from back then it stands to reason that there would be a greater risk of coming across an board with these bad capacitors if it is purchased as new or NoS, still sealed boxed retail or tray/bulk. A used board or computer is not likely to have this particular failure because if it were using the faulty components, it would have failed by now. But that doesn't mean that it would be worry free, as capacitors can go bad for other reasons besides manufacturing defect.
