  1. Dibya, you've been a member here long enough to know to create better topic titles, and put topics in the correct sections. Renamed and moved. Not having the 4 pin connected won't allow the system to even get to the input stage. Having to reset BIOS default on a new CPU install is normal. The system powering off while in setup is not normal. I would check for grounding issues. Make sure all of the screws are in the board, and no extra stuff floating around in the case. Also that the case is not touching anything conductive. Seems from the picture that it is on a floor on its side (unless that was just for a picture). If you are operating it in this way, you can put wood or a book under it.
  2. I would suspect that the "definitions" are no OS specific, or at worst just architecture specific. Whereas MSE and Windows Defender use the same files. If that is indeed the case, Win7 would (or could) still get definition updates until such a time when Defender is updated in such a way that renders (then) current updates incompatible with MSE.
  3. You posted into the programming section, that is what I mean by language. My "code" is "code theory" and while it may be usable in certain languages, it is only an example. If you are not writing a program to do this, I can move the topic into the Office section.
  4. See if there are any wake options you can disable in the BIOS.
  5. Was it this? https://msfn.org/board/topic/177603-trouble-with-net-framework/ You can use this link to see the topics you have created: https://msfn.org/board/profile/46460-hoppalong/content/?type=forums_topic&change_section=1
  6. In general theory: $dataInsert = "2020." & $var What language are you using?
  7. IIRC, all SATA ports have to support hot-plug. It is the driver that specifies whether it shows this way in Windows. You may be able to solve this by using the registry, however you would have to do some looking to determine the correct key to change. In this example: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel0 you can add a TreatAsInternalPort entry. I put bold above to note that your hard drive may not be identified to this particular service. If it is not, then setting it on msahci will probably not make any difference. So then you'll have to find which service your drives are under. Without having a XP64 system to look at, I can tell you using Win7 as a reference. In device manager, find the section for IDE controllers, and inside should be your SATA controller. In the properties of that, under details tab, change the drop-down to service. That should be the name of the Service in the registry. Additional caveat: This may not work in XP64. Also I do not know if there is a 64bit registry or not (I never used regedit in XP64) Ref: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/my-internal-sata-device-appears-in-devices-and/722221d6-d59c-4cf7-803c-8203e6344b93
  8. There is no reason to delete the topic. Reply with how you solved it.
  9. I found it. The "placeholder" data that you created into the spreadsheet (mknewfiles tab) are written oddly into the game. Starting with team 28, it matches to the spreadsheet, there there are 5 pitchers and 15 batters: The five pitchers marked "tomorrow" and the batter marked "naturally on first" from team 28 are written into the slots for team 29. This is how they appear in the game (team 29 roster) So then team 30 has the 5 pitchers from team 29, and 4 of the forwardslash entries, for batters it has one batter from Team 29, a blank and then the first 6 batters (of 8) that are supposed to be on team 30. Team 31 has one forward slash pitcher and the first 2 pitchers of team 30, the last 2 batters of team 30 and 6 blank entries.
  10. I finally got back to this project. There is something wrong with the 2019 files in the zip attached earlier. I first noticed when looking at Team 47 Team 47 using 2019 files: Team 46 using 2019 files: Team 46 using 2016 files: The expected result is that the rosters for each team should remain the same between the 2016 files (generated by the game) and the 2019 files (generated by the scripts).
  11. WinPE has no Windows on Windows, so make sure that all of the binaries that your program uses match the architecture of your WinPE. Otherwise, you'll need to do so testing on your own. Using a ProcMon session on the .exe from within the WinPE may reveal something it cant' find. Otherwise, you'll have to run a dependency scanner of some sort on the .exe from within the WinPE.
  12. Of course you can expect new errors. It is because not all programs will use the environment variables in order to path to files. The safest place for known files that end up in the "wrong" place is to keep those files in the working or source dir of the exe. For example, if there is some program built for x86 that wants to use files in "system32" (but would hit up against some unsupported 64bit file) OR you want to say... run a program that requires an old version of a file (or a file from an older OS) then put it in the working dir. If the program is launched from a shortcut, and has a specified working dir, you can use that. You can use process monitor, attached to an .exe to see the search path for files on startup. Usually you will see an .exe look for files in the same dir that the .exe is in, but not be found. But again, this is only if the program is using relative paths. If it is using absolute paths, then it may be difficult to workaround.
  13. Another thing on the horizon of compatibility nightmares, programs or games being developed using Windows 10 specific APIs. While a program or game may list Windows 7 in the minimum system requriements, not everything will work correctly. Let us take for example, Borderlands 3, which runs fine on Windows 7. For audio it supports two mode: Stereo or Spatial Sound. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/spatial-sound Essentially Atmos or headphones only. There is some patch history concerning Borderlands 3. Using an actual Dolby 5.1 soundcard, when the game launched it played some sounds in the wrong speakers. After this first patch, the surround worked properly. After the most recent patch, it runs in "surround" mode but utilizing stereo (front left, front right) only. Is there any known wrappers to allow Spatial Sound (or emulated Atmos) to work on SoundBlaster 5.1 cards?
  14. I found this option: https://superuser.com/questions/1338822/how-to-create-a-desktop-shortcut-to-a-onedrive-file Google search terms: excel.exe shortcut online file
  15. https://msfn.org/index.html shows the centOS message. https://msfn.org/index.htm does the redirect to the news portal as it should.
  16. Sorry, by EOS I meant end of sale... which is the "Extended" period that included OEM Facilitated Downgrade Rights (Buy Win 10, get Win 7 installed). I do not remember exactly how long ago it was, I wanted to say 2 years but that seems to be too long.
  17. There had been numerous reports of Win7s automatically upgrading to Windows 10 ever since it became a thing. I haven't seen any reports of it since Windows 7 went EOS.
  18. I actually have one of those RAM packs, the 16K equivalent for the Timex Sinclair 1000... A system before my time, and even with the advancements available for it today, a system I decided not to bother doing anything with.
  19. Someone else has been trying this path it seems https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b698865f-f17a-4379-866f-833f6567320d/msdn-broken-download-link-where-to-find-the-quotmicrosoft-internationalized-domain-name-idn?forum=libraryfeedback BUT, we at least know a filename: idndlpackage.EXE It is not in the Update Catalog. It is not in MSDN that I can find.
  20. Even with a default "full" install, the Embedded OSes often leave some piece out, and then again there are SKU specific add-ons required in some instances.
  21. My first computer was an Apple IIc. My second was (I think) an IBM PS/2 Model 80.
  22. Remember that this is not XP, it is POSReady 2009. There are differences and it cannot be expected that programs (or even MS updates) for XP will work properly with it.
  23. We don't really have a collector section, probably due to no transactions being allowed. Although I'm sure many of us collect hardware as well. It seems to me that it is easier to collect than use, since the time required to use is so high.
  24. Low footprint on system is the main selling point to me. They stayed true to the roots of GIANT, which I was using for the same reasons before MS bought them.
  25. If by "unportable" you are meaning that if a portable exe is on a computer, if it is copied to a different location or onto another drive or computer then it won't function... then yes. There are multiple ways to approach it, one would involve modifying the portable program itself, which may not be allowed under license. Another option is to write a wrapper. This wrapper would do the following: 1. Check against some data on the local system (look for a file, contents of a file, WMI/DMI, etc) before execution. 2. If pass, then extract the portable exe into memory. 3. Execute exe from memory. In this scenario, the wrapper contains the portable exe within itself and the original program does not exist separately. There would have to be some work to determine how to get the exe into memory and/or whether or not to make use of temp files as installers do. NOTE: this is a theory post. I have not made a wrapper like this before, and this is just one example of how it could be accomplished.
