  1. To get back into the feel, I just reinstalled Morrowind again!
  2. If you do not need to change this key at every boot, or you only need to do it once, you can edit the offline registry.
  3. This was atop the Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/26/co...ation_analysis/
  4. Welcome to the forum! I had a PCI USB card in my old computer and I could not go into the BIOS with a USB keyboard. This was a long time ago, so your motherboard might allow you to do it. You'd have to try it and see.
  5. It may be hidden via the MBR also. I have found with recovery partitions in this case, diskpart's ability to set or clear hidden is useless.
  6. I do not use the WAIK. My company is not licensed to use it. We use the OPK Tools instead. My files are proper as they are downloaded from the OEM Channel sites that I have access to. Please be aware that the documentation is still largely incomplete, and in some cases incorrect. This is still a beta afterall. And I will say that perhaps the OPK and WAIK documentation have different wording. I do not have the WAIK documentation to compare to. This was the title of the page: Walkthrough: Create a Custom Windows PE Image I had the OPK Tools installed on a computer that was not fast enough. If you look at my servers, you will see that 7Server is currently my Technician computer for Windows 7 Beta. Unclesocks is my Technician Computer for XP and Vista.
  7. Try telling that to MS! 'Windows PE 2.0', 'Windows PE 2.1', and 'Windows PE 3.0' are the terms used by MS in the Documentation accompanying the WAIK. You should have a browse through the Users Guides. They're quite informative. For example, page 1 of the 'Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) Users Guide for Windows 7': Also, everywhere on the web. For example: http://www.svrops.com/svrops/articles/winvistape2.htm I understand what you mean, but it is possible to have an older version of the PE with newer functionality. And this specific combination could cause problems in certain instances. I will use the PE I maintain as an example. It is a Windows PE 2.0 (hence my version number) but it has the 2.1 Servicing module installed into it. A PE 2.1 and my hodgepodge PE 2.0 would be different. So to say that I have a Win PE 2.1 with a Win PE 2.0 version number. Do you see what I mean?
  8. From the imagex.hta file. I didn't know if I was allowed to post the code snippet, so I just referenced the line numbers.
  9. IIRC, ATI drivers require .Net Framework 2.0 to be installed.
  10. You might want to contact their support department to see if they know of this issue. Their support page isn't well organized, you can try looking through there but it may take you a while. Does it give you this message at install and not allow you to continue? I am going to download the demo as well and see if I can replicate the issue.
  11. ...
  12. Also, AOL should have the ability to connect to their service without using their software. When I had AOL a really long time ago, I only connected into their telco and just opened the browser, not actually their software. Or if you are using it on broadband then you also wouldn't need it, although if you are using a PPPoE setup you might have to do some additional configuring.
  13. Is it possible to embed a private video like that? Maybe if you were logged into Youtube and then posted it in another tab within the same browser?
  14. I have confirmed this. You need to be logged into the domain in order to add a WDS. Simply having the computer added to the domain is not enough. I'm struggling with the User Account control however. After adding a boot image to WDS on 2008, I wanted to add it into my WDS console on 2003. It adds properly, but a message comes up about how either WDS is not installed or there is no access to the other computer. I cannot any way to add a local user of another computer into the Member list on the Server 2008. I can add domain users however. I'm going to play with it a little more. EDIT: I didn't need to add a local user. I forgot that the domain controller logs on with a domain account. I still could not add the 2008 to the 2003, but I could add the 2003 to the 2008. I guess this issue is resolved for now.
  15. This is the full error code: 1. What version of the Win PE are you using? 1.2, 2.0, 2.1 are not valid version numbers. For example, the version I use is v6.0.6000. You can get this version by either booting into your PE and look at the command prompt, or adding your winpe.wim into the Boot Images container in the WDS Snap-in. 2. Are you attempting to update a WinPE image using a different version of the WAIK or OPK Tools than the one that intially created the PE? 3. Are you attempting to inject the driver into a Windows XP image? A better clarification: 1. INF files tell Windows how to install the driver files. 2. DLLs are resource files that the driver needs to make its calls to the OS or other programs. 3. SYS files are the actual driver file. And I agree, make sure you are only using Vista 32bit drivers for your PE, unless it is a 64bit PE. Do not use XP or other OS drivers.
  16. Have you tried a different display? I get different resolutions on different monitors, including different LCD displays. I've never had to install a video driver. Also, Geezery uses the following VBScript to set the screen resolution, however it runs after wpeinit, so I am not sure if it actuall will resize the actual screen, or the HTA that contains the script. On the current version, this info is on line 63-77. This also requires you to include the Scripting and WMI packages into your PE if you haven't already.
  17. I'm guessing that program has misidentified your OS. Is that software a new version? Windows Connector is one of the CDs included in the pack for Windows Home Server.
  18. USB Drives aren't known for lasting very long, especially if a lot of writes are done to them. I've seen this behaviour before also, but if a format does not fix it, we normally smash them to little peices and get a new one. Then again, our drives are 2GB at the most. You can try in other computers. Or you could put MSDOS files onto the key and boot off of it and see if you can delete them in a pure DOS environment.
  19. Welcome to the MSFN Can you verify that txtsetup.oem is located on your floppy disk?
  20. I am willing to bet that they are tooltips that are staying on the screen longer than they should be. This is definately possible if any part of AOL stops responding during its closing process.
  21. Wasn't there a way to get duplicates if you have "leave a copy on the server" enabled?
  22. It is good to get more information!
  23. RAM was sort of a surprise. Their second-to-last issue had a preview of the next one, but it said only that there were some big changes coming.
  24. I wondered about that also, but do not know the answer.
  25. I found that if you right-click on the WDS Server container, choose properties, click client tab. You can choose a generic x86 Unattend file to put in there. This file must be in Reminst or you will get an error. I am looking into being able to use different ones, because if this is the only option then I can only install 1 OS this way. I'd like to at least be able to do Vista Business and Server 2008.
