  1. Broadcom is infamous for using emulated NIC firmware, which has caused many a problem. Where are you getting these Hardware IDs? From Windows? Try running PCISCAN from a DOS boot to see if they turn out different. I've had a heck of a time with some Broadcom (and nVidia) emulated NICs and had to use Ghost instead. Not saying this is your answer but anytime I come across a Broadcom now I just want to go home sick.
  2. That's all the help you are going to get. http://www.msfn.org/board/booting-minipe-h...pid-882723.html
  3. Yet again I make the request to upgrade the network. Our main issue is that once any certain (uncertain) number of clients running at 100Mbps start using the network, the entire thing drops to 100. Even the gigabit clients, and heck the server drops too. Will using a smart switch be able to keep 100Mbps clients at 100 and Gigabit at Gigabit speeds? The purchasing guy balked at the prices of full-managed switches, but seemed to like the price of the smart switches.
  4. Hey, what's heppeneng?
  5. Please elaborate on this. As far as I know IE6 completely supports CSS 1.0 only if you count some proprietary features. Its an issue found in practice. Refer to this: http://www.msfn.org/board/fix-display-issue-t137717.html Which is about my old website design, which was a CMS I wrote myself before IE7 came out. It worked fine but unfortunately IE7 came out before it was completed.
  6. Need more infos from you before help can occur. 1. Service Pack? 2. Architecture? 3. Admin rights? 4. Also check event viewer for errors.
  7. MiniXP.... MiniPE? I'm locking this because of these words. If the OP feels this is a problem, the OP can PM me about it.
  8. I have to say that true mouse/free look spoiled me. Yes the Doom and Doom II engine use the mouse to move, and also move with the keyboard. But you can't say only look/shoot with the mouse and move with the keyboard. Also Strife didn't have an option to use Strafe Left/Right instead it was Turn Left/Right. And unfortunately DOSBox didn't emulate it very well in that if I played on the highest difficulty, the game ran way too fast. On easy, it was normal speed. When I played this game when it came out, the only difference between easiest and hardest is that there were more enemies, they were stronger, no difference in speed of the enemies or the player.
  9. You will see a HUGE difference between a 5.1 Surround and a 5 Speaker system. I have both of these configs at home, albeit one is hooked to a TV. I have a TV that has a subwoofer hooked to it. That has outputs to 4 speakers, two left and two right. The ports on the speaker say Left Front, Right Front, etc but its just for positioning. It actually doesn't support Surround Sound. This isn't to say it sounds bad, it actually sounds great when watching movies or I do a sound test. My sound test on the TV (for fine tuning) is to put in the PS2 game Black and just let it loop the menu parts. Now there is an insane difference between that and the speakers hooked up to the computer. Of course the TV only has 2 channels (bass and trebel) analog knobs on the front of it. My PC has a SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer PCI and a Creative Inspire (the first one ever) that uses DTS and Dolby 5.1. The SoundBlaster has software that includes ways to modify the channel levels and there is a 12 band graphic equalizer in there too. However the downfall is that the EQ is for all channels out instead of per channel/input/output. I am more used to having more control over my sound, but its good enough so I'm not going to complain. Now if I could only get that Pioneer subwoofer working... Its the size of a minifridge!
  10. There is a similar thread here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=137822
  11. QFT. This applies to not only browser but OS wars. However, there is still the issue that older code made to work with IE6 and worked perfectly, does not work with newer browsers. For example, IE6 properly renders CSS 1.0 and no browsers since have been able to do so. So, at least, in my mind, IE6 has some development use. Why develop for an outdated browser using an outdated standard? CSS 1.0 is the current standard. Note that Drafts and RFCs are not final versions.
  12. FYI Note if anyone doesn't know. PE Explorer is made by Heaven Tools. It has a 30 day trial period, but in order to use it longer you will need to pay for it.

    These files are compressed versions. In order to access them you need to expand them first. You will find EXPAND.EXE in C:\Windows\System32. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888017
  14. Dreamweaver.com does not exist anymore. Adobe finally phased it out since they purchased Macromedia. Dreamweaver as an application is just fine for development, but it has its flaws and limitations like all programs do. Then again, you can even just use Notepad or some other text editor to make a website. I personally use UltraEdit to write my webpages. I used to exclusively use Dreamweaver but now only for layout testing. Secondly, the idea of purchasing website layouts has never sounded like a good idea to me. Firstly, you can get free layouts if you search for them. If you aren't into learning how to write your own websites, you can also just get a CMS. While a lot of CMS are not free, most have a free limited option.
  15. Yes I thought I could play Strife again, but it looks and controls so bad! And like Redneck Rampage, it also uses the Build Engine, so the controls suck with that too!
  16. I hadn't researched it so much, but this makes sense. You need Win7 WAIK to do it. Its not only BartPE that acts this way. Also WinPE for Vista SP1.

  18. No, I personally do not use CCC. I read on other sites that sometimes going to previous versions worked to resolve the errors. Take that as you will.
  19. We have a few unattended forums, as you will see. If you haven't seen this link above, here it is again. It may be of interest. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

    PLEASE

    fiki, in the future try to be more specific. OK Fun time's over.
  23. IIRC, Code 10 in 9x (or all versions) is 10% of the time a bad or incorrect driver, and 90% of the time failed or BIOS disabled hardware.
  24. I've noticed this at work as well, but also at home. My PC at home has a newer version installed somehow, an update that made things a little better, but the one at work doesn't see that update available.
  25. If you want to change anything in the registry, you can use a WinPE CD or the slave drive idea to load the registry hive of the affected system. I mostly use this method to interrupt automation during testing by removing RunOnce commands but you can change anything you need to. If your setting is usually in a CurrentControlSet, you may want to read up on that because it will not appear the same as a loaded hive as if you were viewing it from the host RegEdit.
