I've noticed this a lot lately also. It seems like everything worked fine in older version of Firefox. I have the Chinese and Japanese packs installed so I can see those characters, and Korean at home. Ever since upgrading to FF3 I am seeing these characters a lot. It also shows up a bunch on Wikipedia also. I would be interested in finding an answer to this question too.

You could use network logon with roaming profiles, or use the default document location to be on a file server.

I found this on another site:

I haven't gotten to test a W7 deployment yet. However there are some things missing in the RC that will be there in the RTM, such as the ability to install a license.

Nice. for me: Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed

Is there anything more entertaining than finding Engrish in computer software or manuals? Mostly these are systems that come from Southeast Asia. I have seen such things with AOpen, MSI and ASUS. Do you know any good ones? First I would like to note that most AOpen miniPCDuo documentation is full of broken English. The main example is a drawing of the world that they did. I will have to try and scan this so I can post the picture. It is a horribly rendered picture of the continents in the world. Also to note is the "plus" / + or "minus" / - shape screwdriver mentions. Or this gem: "Take the chassis Module. Detach 6 screws of the CPU cooler by the "+Shape" screwdriver. The sequence of operationis 1-2-3-4-5-6." "This socket supports FCPGA6 package CPU (Socket P), which is the latest Merom Core 2 Duo (Santa Rosa) package developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in." Also the term "anticlockwise" IIRC the Digital Engine manual says to listen to "the click voice" when you put in memory. These may be old classics... I may have even posted about them before. Today I found a new one. While trying to update the BIOS on a notebook, I was greeted with this message: I roffled.

OK is your WIM of a Win PE or is it of a drive image? If it is a Vista image, you should add new drives in manually and modify your sysprep.xml files or unattend files inside the image to work with the new drivers.

I am still "struggalang" with my Vista Unattend project. I found information that you can install additional drivers and programs by using DataImage, and a WIM on the server. The problem is that the WIM is neither copied nor extracted to the client during install. These components are necessary as the later Client Unattend updates the drivers and runs the programs that are supposed to be copied present. I have no validation errors in WSIM and there are no errors in the setupact or setuperr log files. I can't figure out what might be the problem, maybe I can get some help. For anyone who notices there are some parts missing from the XML, its because this is only the WDSClientUnattend file. I can post the Setup Unattend file if needed. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <WindowsDeploymentServices> <Login> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Credentials> <Username>kdineen</Username> <Domain>shark</Domain> <Password>ZarleyZalapski33</Password> </Credentials> </Login> <ImageSelection> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallImage> <ImageName>Windows Vista BUSINESS</ImageName> <ImageGroup>Vista</ImageGroup> </InstallImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </ImageSelection> </WindowsDeploymentServices> <DiskConfiguration> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Size>20480</Size> <Extend>false</Extend> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Extend>true</Extend> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>system</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> </Disk> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration> <ImageInstall> <DataImage wcm:action="add"> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> <InstallFrom> <Credentials> <Domain>shark</Domain> <Password>ZarleyZalapski33</Password> <Username>kdineen</Username> </Credentials> <Path>\\unclesocks\RemInst\dataimage.wim</Path> </InstallFrom> <Order>1</Order> </DataImage> </ImageInstall> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>en-us</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-us</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-us</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-us</UserLocale> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim://unclesocks/seafood/distribution/installs/vista_business.wim#Windows Vista BUSINESS" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend>

I am going to wager a guess that your WIM is of an XP image?

You should be using the PE designed for Windows 7. Why are you using this old one?

Welcome to the MSFN! I am hoping you read the Unattended Windows Setup Reference CHM. I have some questions based on that info. 1. Is the D: formatted NTFS? 2. Does the D: have another OS on it? Also note: For ProgramData, do not use c:, use %SYSTEMDRIVE%

You need to sysprep Vista in order to image it, no exceptions. You can get away with a standard sysprep if you are imaging it and dropping it on the EXACT same computer, and I'm not talking same hardware model. If you are going to move the image to another physical computer, even if the same hardware model parts, you need to do a generalize. You get 3 attempts to run sysprep, however you can get additional sysprep attempts if you change the ReArm in the registry. Look up how to extend activation in Vista, which is a side effect of extending sysprep attempts. Also to note if you upgrade your Vista using the SP1 installer, it does not use up a sysprep use.

If you mean the ability to see or use an additional language, then yes, but if you mean a different Windows translation then I do not think you can. I believe you need a localized Windows. As far as language support, search for the language packs for Office.

I would not recommend installing Windows on a drive of that size. If you are doing high end storage, your system drive should be a separate physical disk, at least, or on a separate controller, and ideally a RAID1. This is a best practice in the case that if your OS crashes your data is safe because it is on a different volume or disk. Even though this is a best practice, I've experienced this recently on a server I inherited. I lost over 1TB of data (customer files) that has been requested at times recently. When I redid the server, I used 1 HDD for OS (onboard) and a RAID5 on RAID card.

I used to use MHT files alot back in the 90s. Typically before they had large USB keys or email accounts. I could save a webpage as an MHT and copy it to my zip drive. I always wondered why it never really got adopted, but I am thinking PDFs took over their power. Alas, I figured someone knew of it already but we need a thread here for those that don't!

I've always sysprepped Vista before doing a massive hardware change like that. Especially if you set up your XML to include other mass storage drivers.

I had this problem with Vista when it came out, but not all programs. Some would not install or take eons to copy the files. I haven't gotten that far into 7 yet, but does it use the Link Layer Topology mapper like Vista and 2008 does? I had to use Group Policy on all the Vista Business and Ultimate images to disable that function, and networking became viable again. However another consideration is that the file server on the domain runs Server 2003.

I would imagine that changing the picture of the start button wouldbe similar to how it is done for Vista. But ah, you can't expect there to be graphics mods out for 7 already! It just RCed recently!

That article is for the older version of Diskpart. I wonder if includes the one that comes in the WAIK now.

OK so here is the function in the VBScript. It runs imagex just fine but obviously it is failing to run diskpart. I doubt the reason it fails is because of the fully qualified path. But maybe I should try it out? Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ObjShell.run "cmd /c x:\windows\system32\diskpart /s x:\windows\system32\full_diskpart.txt",0,True ObjShell.run "cmd /c imagex /apply c:\sp1.wim 1 d:",0,True Or perhaps its the cmc /c interacts different with diskpart than with imagex? Any other ideas? I'll compare to my deployment code to see if I can find any differences. Actually my other code (I didn't write it) uses the following: ObjShell.run("&chr(34) & "cmd /c diskpart /s" & chr(34) &" &chr(32) & TempTXT) As you can see it uses a var called TempTXT but I am not going to use a var. Also I don't quite understand the chr(34) usage.

This would be a better starting point for nomnomnom:

Have you tried the User State Migration Tool?

I use the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool on all my USB drives. However you could use diskpart to do it as well.

No this isn't what it is. It is in a lot of torrents and in fact its being seeded. The google search results has a weird truncation of the webpage's text to make it seem like it say the txt file tracks torrents. If you go to the website instead of reading the results, you will see it. I've seen this file before but I forget what it is.

I searched here and came up with nothing. Today I received my RC copies of Windows 7 in 32 and 64bit at an official sales training. One of the things talked about was PSR or Problem Step Recorder. You older folks might remember Windows 95 and the Macro recorder. This is very similar. It is also similar to AutoIT's pointer code generator. You start it up, click record, then go about things. When you are done, click stop and it will ask you to save someplace. It creates an MHT (a not-so-often used embedded web document format) file that records all the stuff you clicked on, INCLUDING SCREENSHOTS. To start it up, type 'PSR' into the search field on the start menu. It is designed to be used for troubleshooting, but it looks to be a good training/walkthrough tool! http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd464813.aspx
