What is the purpose of this information? What does your application need to do with the different information, such as if it is MP or UP? With Vista, this information isn't needed at all, since you need to generalize an image before it can be redeployed.

0xc0000005 means access denied. So the game tries to access a file, but that file is locked or in use by another program, and so it crashes. Have you tried this forum? http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=594933 It is their (EPIC) official support forum.

If you have other USB devices connected to the computer, try disconnecting those and see if you still get disconnected. Check Device Manager to see if the USB Device that represents the Livebox has any Power Management options. And try to disable sleep and hibernate on your computer to see if this is causing a problem also.

Have you also updated the BIOS?

Do you only get this error when you press F9?

Win PE only supports Uni and Multiprocessor ACPI enabled environments.

You've obviously done some extra setups to your computer. Is this a work computer or did you get it from a business? Security Auditing is not enabled by default.

I hope it comes with a wireless mouse. It would be bad posture to use the track pad.

It does not matter where you put the files. I would recommend that you do not use a relative path to your files from your scripts or other programs. This will make things easier for you in troubleshooting I think.

THis thread is for you to submit ideas on what type of things you want covered in the new Win PE FAQ. I am going to write one up and consolidate both of the two current locked topics that are stickied. Here is a list of things that I want to cover, but want feedback or help on more stuff. - licensing - how to build PE media - requirements - PE projects and apps What else should I consider?

I do not even use the XP Theme anyways, I use the Classic one instead, so all the buttons are just flat. Have you tried that option? Also there is a program called Windowblinds that has a demo or you can buy it. You can use different themes with it. The demo will work forever, as long as you can deal with the box that pops up every 24 hours.

What was the Event Log? Also, Adobe updates using its own program, and not Windows Update. You usually get an Adobe prompt if you go to a site that uses Flash and you are outdated, or you open Acrobat.

Our Network admin is also trying to set up a new Oracle backup server. It is to run the same OS as mine. He had problems getting RAID to work with his board and upgraded to an S5000VSA. So he gave me his backup board, which included memory, CPUs, heatsinks and IO Plate. I went through and pulled out the old board and installed the new one. I updated the config in the first post for PHOBOS. That name will likely change. The new board is an Intel SE7520BD2SATA2. 2x Xeons and 4GB RAM. We are going to try installing Server 2008 on it later today or sometime soon hopefully. I checked the specs on this board and it was tested to work with 64bit Server 2003. I do not require it to be fully funtioning or to be officially supported by Microsoft like the Oracle backup server does. So this is why I am fine with using uncertified hardware with it. If we have problems using the SATA driver for onboard, I know that we can always use the Beta RAID driver for the 3Ware card. I am now wondering what is to become of the old parts that I took out. I doubt they could be resold, maybe I can buy them on the cheap!

Trying to install Server 2008 x64 Standard onto PHOBOS. Which means it will probably get renamed again. Anyways, the install DVD throws an error claiming the CPU might not support 64bit instructions... This is so bad. Here's the specs via CPU-Z, but I gotta find out if I can install x64 on this. It has x86 on it right now, but it was never activated, as it was the DSP copy. It boots up and says it isn't genuine. The x64 version is VLK. Hmm, two different speeds of memory isn't a good idea. I guess this is what happens when you rescue a server from the garbage, you never have any idea what is in it! The CPU appears to be this one: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL72D This might turn out bad. Also here is from the TPS: I might have to do an upgrade or trade one of my extra machines for another server? We shall see...

If you have Vista installed, then you should use BCD to allow the boot into the PE. There many posts about using BCD, both in here and the Unattended Vista forum. Take a look around and see if you can find something that suits you. My method of booting into the PE is with an XP partition. I haven't tested this with Vista yet. Ah, another project for me!

After I mount the WIM, I usually put any "tools" (aka programs I want in there) in the Windows folder.

Geezery! I got another feature idea! I do most of my image administration from within the PE and not the server. It would be handy if, in the main display of the images within the wim, that the image index number is also displayed. Currently, all images are arranged alphebetically by their image description. This means that the images are not in order based upon their index (the order they were captured/appended) value. It is easier to perform image maintenance with the image index, especially if there are long image descriptions. Also, if you have a lot of images, it would be easier to acquire the image index value, otherwise I have to use the following: imagex /info z:\xp_intel.wim > c:\wim_info.xml This has to be done because sometimes the XML information is more than be fit into the PE Command Prompt window.

That code post reminds me of this old Civil War wargame I used to play on my 486.

OK I think I need to better understand your set up. Please respond to the following questions: 1. The computer that loses the connection, is it the one connected to the USB or to the Ethernet? 2. What is the make and model of your router? 3. What is the make and model of the "livebox"? 4. Is the Livebox connected to the router? If you can post a link to the product page for questions 2 and 3, that will be helpful Also, for further troubleshooting, please with-hold any information relating to the computer that is not having this problem.

It appears right now there is a problem between the PC and the modem. Your concerns may be valid or justified, but try not to give the OP too much stuff to work on at first.

I'll take a look at that spreadsheet in a little bit. As far as the article, I've seen things like that also, that specify the /align flag, but the document refers to setting the /offset tag. The document falls under NDA (Non-Disclose Agreement) Rules, and is in Beta/Draft stage. This is the rules from Microsoft, not from my company. They provided this doc to us. I cannot post anything about it, not even the name. Sorry. The document speaks directly regarding Windows 7, Vista SP2 and 2008 SP1. An idea that the image should be applied to the outmost part of the disk as possible, as that is where data starts to be read. This is comparative to how a record (LP) works, as opposed to how a CD or DVD is read, which is from the inside out.

So a summary is that you have the same symptoms with different NICs? Also you have tried new cable and new modem. 1. When you lose connection, and it says media disconnected, check to see if your Link Lights are on both the NIC and the modem. 2. When you lost connection but not media disconnected, do a ping to your modem. 3. Is this cat5 or cat6 cable? 4. Check the environment that your network cable runs. Make sure no transformers around it (like a subwoofer). 5. Check the power setup for the modem. If the modem is on a high utilisation circuit, you could experience a small brown-out for the modem and not know it, but enough to drop the connection. 6. Make sure the modem and cable are not getting hot. I know some modems get very warm, or if you have another thing that gets warm right next to it. This is a hard situation. I would rather think your video card is a separate issue entirely, but you should make a new post just for that issue, so as not to confuse the two.

Sorry for late reply. I would like to comment that using XP 32 bit I had no problems at all with scripting SAPI with AutoIt or VBScript. Under Vista 32 Bit is little joy as the sound drivers that I have are not good in certain sound generation methods used. I use the Creative card and drivers that are not quite there yet for the card that i have. Perhaps some similar issues is your recognition of disappointment with using scripts to using SAPI? For me, the UDF by itself was not a good enough problem. I eventually disabled that feature of my program because it had certain memory leaks. For example, sometimes it would play sound, sometimes it would lock up the computer or the sound would skip. It was because my program did not give the ability to stop playing the audio, so there was no control of it. Another thing, you couldn't close my program until the sound stopped playing, or end process caused instability or sound wouldn't work anymore until a reboot. I do not have the source code handy that I used, it has been archived to DVD a while ago.

Thanks. I am not using a DVD. Let me post some pictures of my environment: These are the boot images in WDS: These are the install images in WDS: These are the install images in Explorer:
