Welcome to the MSFN!

It should work, but don't forget to update to RTM!

It is starting to sound like a hardware problem. Especially since you had problems before and reinstalled Windows. Did the computer guy test the memory or hard drive? The wireless message isn't really an error, its just a configuration thing. You should be able to configure the NIC's power settings in the Device Manager.

I see the confusion. I don't believe that Altiris actually has its own imaging component, or at least it didn't the last time I used it. You can script Altiris Notification Server to launch imaging software, such as Ghost or Imagex, or any other program. So what program actually does the imaging from Altiris?

Is the update the same language as the OS? Also how are you installing it, downloaded the file or using Windows Updates. Lastly, did you vLite your Vista install?

You should be able to find lots of information!

Have you tried opening the programs in Safe Mode? See if they appear the same or differently there.

Well like I said, you need those three things to maintain activation. Its possible the update removed or changed one of those (Windows based) items, which will switch off the activation. The problem is that you aren't going to have the required files to fix it. So either do a repair install or a recovery would be your best bet. Also Lenovo isn't going to be able to give you those files either, but they may be able to get you a key to activate it.

You could check out this program http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/200.../30/611355.aspx I haven't used it myself.

Greetings, earth man! Post us some specs, example: 1. How much RAM 2. How much free RAM 3. How much free HDD space 4. What video controller, driver version (and supplier) and memory size 3. What version of Windows.

That's a tricky thing. I encountered a similar problem when trying to register a font. It is possible, I couldn't figured it out, so I just scripted it to restart the computer after running the script.

I'm pretty sure you can't activate MAK keys. When we do OA2 activation not only use slmgr to put in the product key, but also install a license file as well. So basically you can only activate the product if the license file is present, and the SLP also but don't know if you use that. Any one of those missing will cause it to fail. That's all I can tell you about that.

It should work either way really. If you are using a domain account to log into the network share, you don't have to use the DOMAIN\USERNAME. You would only need to if you were using a local account to login, such as COMPUTERNAME\USERNAME. If your systems are not on a domain at all and you are using a local account, you don't have to specify COMPUTERNAME first. Either way it doesn't hurt to fully qualify your logins.

Recently, I have noticed a change in the Intel DG31GL behaviour in the BIOS. It has not had a BIOS update since 5/14/09, which was version 0009. Here are the symptoms and maybe someone can make sense of them: 1. It comes with BIOS 0005. Everything is normal except that it detects 2 CD Drives when there is only 1. FYI the CD Drive is SATA. 2. Update BIOS to 0009. It still sees 2 CD Drives, but the Boot menu shows 4 Boot Order options. That's 4 separate ones. If you set the order on one of them, then go to the next, it reverts your changes. 3. Using the BIOS recovery option to downgrade to 0007, it says the BIOS is already at 0007. This is wrong because it is at 0009. When 0007 is installed, the Boot Order screen looks correct but still sees 2 CD Drives. 4. Updating to 0009 makes it look like it did in #2. Any idea about this? Since its in the BIOS, I can't take a screen shot, but here is a basic attempt to show the 4 boot orders: (top half only) Boot Menu Type [Normal] Boot Device Priority [Floppy Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] Boot Device Priority [Floppy Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] Boot Device Priority [Floppy Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] Boot Device Priority [Floppy Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] [Ethernet] Hard Drive Order [SATA: ST3160813A] CD/DVD-ROM Drive Order [SATA: ATAPI iH] How it looks on 0007 Boot Menu Type [Normal] Boot Device Priority [Floppy Drive] [Hard Disk Drive] [Ethernet] Hard Drive Order [SATA: ST3160813A] CD/DVD-ROM Drive Order [SATA: ATAPI iH]

One stop shop! http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx Windows 7 RC AIK for W7 and Vista SP2. RTM coming soon! http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...35-d30ead27ef72 AIK for Vista SP1 and Server 2008 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...a5-5b50c657de08

Basically when you are new you need to do a ton of reading on the documentation that comes with the AIK. It is confusing at times. Don't I know it!

Verify that your account or group has both Domain and NTFS permissions set for the folder.

What is the name of this "portable" version you installed?

You have posted this question already and gotten answers here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=131076

You are right about the simplicity of the program. I am going through right now trying to upgrade our production server to use the v9.1 HTA. As I noted it currently uses the v7.1. I have a duplicate environment that I am testing in at the moment. Originally, 1.exe was called 'error1231.exe' and was only used from the cmd to fix a specific networking issue with Intel boards. I later added it to the button instead. The use of it has depreciated, since I have worked around the issue by adding additional code in the startnet.cmd. So technically, we do not even use it anymore.

I have a feeling that those programs may require a cmdline parameter to stay open. For example, in this post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=121316 The user can't launch imagex.exe in a similar fashion, but can launch notepad. Imagex can't be run by simply typing in the name of the app, it needs parameters. However, you can try an alternate method of launching the program to see if that has any result. In this example, the "1" is actually "1.exe" http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=870462 I'll give this a little time but I'm probably going to move this into the scripting forum.

What is the error you got? Also, is there a specific reason why you haven't upgraded your PE version?

Windows 7 x64 Intel SEC Installer = does not install Norton 360 trial = installs, don't know if it works. Nero 8 Essentials Suite 2 = installs but does not uninstall, also some parts won't work like licensing. Of course x64 is always a guess with some programs.

Ah that helps alot. I wasn't sure at first. Thanks.

Exactly. Thanks sooo much dude, honestly, you've helped me a tremendous amount. I've been troubleshooting tons of stuff for about 4 hours. Thanks again ONNNE more little question and i PROMISE i wont bother you again lol. What software do you recommend as far as creating the image? I use two different programs for imaging. Most of the time I use Imagex (comes with the Windows Automated Install Kit), WDS (part of Server 2003 and 2008) and Norton Ghost for incompatible NICs, recovery partitions, etc. Imagex is free to use, WDS is free if you bought Server, and Ghost has a per use royalty as well as the software price. After it shuts down, it is at that point you capture the image. If you boot it up and then capture it, you can get errors.
