I don't think this (Windows Desktops Screenshots) forum is active enough to going to so much trouble over it.

Are you serious here? XP every few days? You must be doing something wrong there. Even Windows 98 could be on for a long time. My record for 98 is 3 months. I can't prove the 98, but I can prove the XP.

This can be done with WDS, as outlined here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=841983 Also check the post above that, which has more info.

Since I put this thread in the FAQ, and do not think this is enough for its own thread, I am posting the licensing info for Win PE 3.0 here:

There are some audio hosting services that let you build playlists and then it makes code that you can post on your webpage. I can't remember the one I used to use.

Welcome to the MSFN!

Welcome to the MSFN! Have you checked out our nLite forum?

Yes, these guys are people not bots. Also they aren't likely to show up in the spam list because they are not just spamming us. They are angry at us for banning them so they come in and make a mess. They don't do that on other forums.

I used to work at a college and one day we had no work to do. So my co-worker took a Hard Drive and decided to just format it all day. At first it was fine, but soon it started getting bad sectors. After 10 hours (yes he was kinda a weird guy) he got the bad sectors up to 41%. The only thing was that this was back in 2001 and HDD technology made have improved its resiliency (sic).

Welcome to the MSFN! Have you seen our vLite section yet?

Recently, I was playing Quake 3 on my normal server and a conversation came up about something about women. I then used the common meme of "there are no girls on the internet". Well wouldn't you know it, there were two girls on the server that day and one happened to have been an admin. To make matters worse, neither of them had ever heard of that term and didn't know it was internet schenanigans. So they took it personally and I almost got banned.

When you first make your PE, you should prep it before unmounting it. Make another one as a test, prep it and unmount. THen remount and peimg to see if you get different results. I've never made a PE WIM without prepping it.

In case anyone is confused, this is for soccer teams. I was going to vote the 49ers... PS: this should be in the Poll forum.

Back in the early days, we used to have monthly topics for people to post screenshots of their desktops. Nowadays, people post in a sticky for the year and, I guess, post other screenshots of their desktops in new threads if they want to change/improve something. <WWII rant>you see.... years ago... when roosevelt was president.... we had to post our screenshots in six feet of snow.... for thirty miles... up a hill...</WWII rant> Regular topics might include people who are making changes to their desktops, working on projects, designing wallpaper. Not necessarily those of us that just change our wallpaper every now and then and want to show it off.

Have you tried connecting it to another PC or another OS on that PC? Or boot using a LiveCD, a Win PE cd or NTFSDOS to see if it sees the proper size.

Yes but it is still in Beta. Its the Windows 7 Beta WAIK with Win PE 3.0. See the following: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128772

I get all my drivers nowadays for specific devices from DriverPacks.net. I have them all saved onto my workstation, then if I need to find a specific file, I search the whole folder for the Hardware ID of the device. They have Vista packs now, but you'll need to go into their forums, I don't think they have it on the front page yet.

That would be a step backwards. I seem to remember Windows 98 or 95 came with a separate IE install CD. I still have one somewhere.

I wouldn't say its terrible. Its very bright and colorful. My eyes hurt looking at it too long.

It was actually running fine anyways. I just decided to see if it had anything.

you might want to play with the attribute flag, in which you can specify file types. examples: /a:s = system files /a:h = hidden files /a:sh = hidden system files etc This works with the dir command as well.

Did you prep it after you initially made the PE? Also, did you happen to have upgraded or installed a new WAIK version since making that particular WIM?

I'll check it out. I've actually seen a lot of mention of PCcleanUp before on other forums. I only use MBAM because I found it could find rootkits. Oh and I knew I said I would run GMER but I don't have it on my keys, so I'll have to copy it tomorrow.

I figured that Malwarebytes would find something. I must confess however. A long time ago I had purposely infected my PC with an AIM trojan so that I could learn how to remove it. I did this because a friend of mine had gotten it, but I didn't use AIM. Of course it did nothing on my PC but perhaps one of these are its remnants: Mirar Adware.Mirar attempts to find Web pages that are related to the Web page currently being viewed. It also displays advertisements based on the URLs and search terms used while navigating the Internet. It will also attempt to download and install the Mirar toolbar from a predetermined Web site. This toolbar is also detected as Adware.Mirar. My current settings block all domains unless I say so, especially scripts. This being present doesn't cause a security breach for me. You may have noticed I have IE as my default browser, however, I only use it to display local files and my website, nothing else. Netmon.exe netmon.exe is a process which is registered mass-mailing worm. This virus is distributed via the Internet through e-mail and comes in the form of an e-mail message, in the hopes that you open its hostile attachment. The worm has it's own SMTP mailing engine which means it gathers E-mails from your local computer and re-distributes itself. In worst cases this worm can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system. With exception to the Microsoft tools of the same name (sneaky they are eh) but I have not installed netmon on this computer. Alas, STMP port is blocked by the hardware firewall, and even so, I have no default Email client anyways. But from its own log, you can see it hasn't run in a while: 06-09-28 11.23.13: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.27.13: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.27.14: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.27.14: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.31.14: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.31.14: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.31.14: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.35.14: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.35.15: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.35.15: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.39.15: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.39.15: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.39.15: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.43.15: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.43.16: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.43.16: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.47.16: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.47.16: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.47.16: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.51.16: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.51.17: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.51.17: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.55.17: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.55.18: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.55.18: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 11.59.18: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 11.59.19: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 11.59.19: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 12.03.19: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 12.03.20: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 12.03.20: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 12.07.20: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 12.07.21: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 12.07.21: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** 06-09-28 12.11.21: *** FETCHING *** 06-09-28 12.11.21: *** SKIPPING POST *** 06-09-28 12.11.21: *** WAITING 240 SECS *** This makes sense, if you ever look in your spam folder. You get a lot of emails with the wrong year on them. Probably coming from trojans like this. Too bad they are still out there. Only makes sense for Tbird, and OE/Outlook clients, perhaps others. Webmail clients (as I exclusively use besides at work) automatically sort these incorrect year emails into the spam/bulk folder. Pretty stupid for the worm to log that info tho. atmtd.dll cmdService, also known as Command Service, is adware that displays commercial advertisements and opens annoying pop-ups. The parasite is usually installed through drive-by downloads. Its makers are able to partially control the compromised system by disabling or removing any other advertising-supported programs installed. cmdService runs a service on every Windows startup. This malware also appears to be non-functional. idt0.dll This is a "Quake" variant! HA I think I'll keep it.
