You can do this with WinPE 2+ http://www.msfn.org/board/wds-winpe-and-ha...ta-t115243.html http://www.msfn.org/board/6-t101383.html

I've never gotten a BSOD on my XP computer. @JustinStacey.x: You know you're flame-baiting as well as I do. And I don't like it at all. @all: Don't let yourselves be drawn into yet another OS war. We've already had enough of that! Indeed. Who really cares what OS someone uses? We can all brag about what we can do with our computers, such as: - 3 month average uptime on my Win 98a pc - never BSOD or reformatted my XP since 2002. But who cares really? What is important is that we all use the same stuff. If someone has better success at something that me, that's my cue to find out what that is. Because I am mostly interested in making things better and more efficient. I couldn't care if you use 98, ME or OS/2 3.0. I've never understood the "wars" because nothing can ever come from it. It is fine for a technical discussion, especially considering what some talented people have been able to do with old OSes. Remember, you use what you use because of whatever reason you have. Maybe you don't have a lot of money, maybe you play around with it because you happen to have another computer, or maybe you use it because you don't run anything that requires an upgrade. Those are all fine answers. This topic is to say why you still use 9x. It isn't "why do you use 9x, or if you don't we get to tell you why you are stupid". I still use 9x for things that work better in 98 than in other OSes. That doesn't mean I don't use other OSes. That is something to keep in mind. Many people who still have Windows 9x systems also run other stuff too.

I have some questions... 1. Can the server access any network shares? Can the clients? 2. What roles does the server have? 3. Can the server access the internet? 4. What is your network topology?

Can you post the error you get exactly? Also check the Event Viewer, it may provide additional information.

If you are not familiar with programming, or just starting out, you may want to look into AutoIT. I have found it is, by far, the most versatile and easiest to learn, scripting engine. You can create programs with it that can run on computers that do not have AutoIT installed. There are other alternatives, such as KiX but it is limited in function, or WSH (Windows Scripting) which isn't quite as easy.

I am not aware of such a thing, but it seems to me that you would be better off using a backup program that offers a Differential Backup option. Differential backups only save files that are different, be it filename, file size or modified date from the files it has already backed up.

Project Pitchfork - Existence I always thought this would be an awesome song for an Hyundai commercial.

You need to register the DLL in the 7.1 version. V9.0 and 9.1 never fully passed development stage and should be considered alpha or beta versions. I have never gotten 9.x to work properly and still use a 7.1. Make sure your PE is using the HTA, Scripting and XML packages at the minimum. Also this works with WinPE 2.x x86, I have not seen or tested it in WinPE 2.x x64, or either build of WinPE 3.0.

Hi Tripredacus, Thank you for the reply. However that will not serve what I'm looking for. Nevertheless, really appreciate your reply. I mentioned it because it has been brought up at multiple companies for an intranet training solution. All the early demos for it (when it was still run by Macromedia) and tutorials were all geared towards using it for training purposes. I know the Wikipedia article makes me think it is for other sort of web development, so may Adobe changed the focus for that product.

Replaying Strife. Wish there was a graphics mod for it tho. update: Civilization III. Found the CD in my basement and realised I never played it yet. I have a bunch of games like that.

Indeed, but honestly, your ripping program should be automatically tagging your files for you so you don't have to go this extra step.

Haven't had the time to back to this project yet, sorry.

Where do these DVDs come from?

Presuming that a USB drive connected to the computer would always be drive d: ... Write a program that would be your shell app... generic code example if exist d:\music then custom.exe else normal.exe endif

There are very few ways to fix this: 1. Change to manual resource allocation in the BIOS if you have this option. 2. If the device is a hardware card, try it in another slot. What resource is it missing exactly? If it is a Memory resource, upgrading your RAM may help. Not sure about I/O ranges. Hardware IRQs you can't help, virtual ones you might be able to, but I haven't had this problem since Windows 98...

I had that problem also but I uninstalled CCC and use the standalone drivers. Have you tried this or do you need to use the CCC?

The easiest way to optimize the boot of Windows is to use MSCONFIG. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck everything you don't want to start. I have not used Bootvis so I can't help you with that. Basically, anything you can disable to start won't affect the core Windows in most programs, also CCleaner can do this. There are some things that always come back like QuickTime if you have it installed... My computer boots to only 20 processes. For average users, sticking below 30 processes would be your goal. You can check them in Task Manager, but remember to subtract the Taskmgr.exe process from the total.

Yes, we all know about computer problems here!

Welcome to the MSFN!

lol, they should do the same ads now. then change the code to go from blue to lets say red., lol, no more blue screens, now its a RSOD i think they actually tried that out in early versions of vista too! You are right. I remember that also. Too bad, its better than the bSOD they have now.

I believe that Flex was made with this in mind but who knows what Adobe did with it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flex

Verizon support's hold music, which is a bad edit of a Tchaikovsky piece, mixed in with Microsoft Anna telling me the hold time.

These are uncharted waters for me then. I have not modified a standard BOOT.WIM besides injecting NIC and Mass Storage Drivers. All other modifications are via unattend file, or for me WDSClientUnattend.xml.

When I speak of "supported" I am referring to official support. What I am able to do is limited by our licenses and support from Microsoft. I understand it is physically possible to do many things with XP and Imagex. For XP, our solution shall continue to be SoftThinks.
