  1. I'm not sure how old that system is, but it used to be common practice to have onboard RAM. Of course the last system I encountered it on had 4MB onboard...
  2. Yep this is the place!
  3. Its not funny at all, its horrible. But let me add my own to this topic. - Laibach - Drvaza - Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia - Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science - Billy Idol - White Wedding - Iron Maiden - Wasted Years There's way too many, so I just picked the first few I could think of. SCIENCE!
  4. I agree. Its a big mix for me too. I now use Maxtor ATA and WD SATA at home, and at work its Seagate and WD.
  5. Please, PLEASE, let Microsoft Bob RIP
  6. The Final Countdown is done by a band called Europe. as for myself: Soulfly - Tribe
  7. I wont know about the Win7 PE until it hits RTM. I have the Beta installed but no time to use it yet. 2008 R2 isn't RTM yet. I'm not entirely sure, but you may be using the packages wrong. You may be adding WDS packages to a straight PE maybe... I haven't tried using those packages yet, but to do an unattended install from WDS you need two answer files. I have/had a project on this here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=130994 But until 2008 R2 is RTM i can't proceed further because I require DataImage to work.
  8. Its true of most programming languages. I think the problem stems from the fact that we know multiple languages, and each one is a little different and we seem to forget this automatically. Its perfectly normal to have to look up syntax, because sometimes we just make mistakes. This is true even of things you may know very well. I recommend that you make notes of what things fixed certain issues, as this will help you learn it faster. Or at least it does for me. Also, if you are unsure of how to do something specific, see if you can find an open source or example program that does a similar thing. Take a look at how that person coded it and adapt those ideas in your code.
  9. In some cases it may be cheaper to get a whole new system, or if its an older unit, perhaps another of the same model.
  10. Try to find out what versions of Acrobat the PDFs were made in. Compare the working ones and the non-working ones. Also compare it with the version of the Reader you are using. Sometimes Acrobat will give you problems if your default Printer isn't an actual printer. For example, if your default Printer is the Distiller or the Office Image Writer. Also I think you can have multiple versions of Acrobat Reader installed, so you may need to use an older version for some files.
  11. Some website I found had this to say: Emphasis added by myself.
  12. NIC is RTL8111, Server is 2003 Standard x86. The NIC is onboard the MSI G31M3-F V2. http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbsp...od_no=1573#menu Basically the thing is, it works for me but not for the customer. At some point in the past, it didn't work for me and I did something to fix it, but I can't remember what it was.
  13. OK. Did you know that Newsid changes the SID everywhere on the computer EXCEPT the SID attached to the logon account on a Scheduled Task? This means that if you have existing tasks on a system, then run NEWSID, the tasks will not be able to execute. This means that after the SID is changed, you need to execute a command(s) like this (you can use a batch file too) c:\windows\system32\schtasks /CHANGE /tn TASK_NAME_1 /ru Administrator /rp password
  14. I'm trying to tackle a problem with a customer that I had once experienced before. It concerns the fact that a client can't do a PXE boot to a 2003 Server with DHCP and a relay to a separate WDS. Typically the error PXE-E52, deals with subnets/ip ranges/other security, but sometimes it doesn't. I can't remember how I fixed my problem, which occurred slightly after I joined this site. Long time ago yes? Anyways, for some reason I have this idea stuck in my head that I had to do something to the server in order for it to respond to some clients. Like a support file, or a driver. But I can't even find the info in a search anywhere, and unfortunately I did not post about it here either. Any ideas?
  15. As far as actual speed vs garauntee speed, it can only be truly tested within the ISPs network. Normally this is tested by uploading a file and downloading a file via FTP to another computer. This other computer must be accessable (see traceroute) without leaving the ISP's network. If you use CLI FTP, turning on bin and hash, it will give you the speed. Files should also be large, like 5MB or so. Online speed test sites use very small files to do the tests, and they are not accurate this way. You need to know your average speed, which requires a larger file. You will notice if you download something, it starts out pretty fast and then slows down to a certain speed. This is why small files should never be used for speed tests.
  16. Is it possible that you have multiple machines with the same SID on them?
  17. This would be the best place to start: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=153
  18. That's ok! You are not alone.
  19. Indeed.
  20. I'm not going to quote you. If you didn't know, MSFN gets high rank on google because we have so many visits. Posting your email address in a thread isn't a good idea. Also, advertising your site should be only done here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=4 Otherwise, have a good time.
  21. Take a look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=104
  22. To suite my current state of mind. A prize (ie free sig) for anyone who can guess the 2 bands referenced.
  23. I usually just use a motherboard box as my "station!"
  24. Why is your system volume on a RAID0? RAID1 or JBOD for system volume only, I recommend.
