Using the exact same XML and using an un-named virtual machine?

The common rule of thumb is to keep a coax cable at least 6 inches from an AC power source, including power cables up until DC transformers. I do not know what the range is per AC motor (what would be the culprit in the air conditioning unit example) as it will vary by device. In situations where you cannot keep a coax cable away from an interference source, that is where you would install shielding. Shielding should be easily DIY if you didn't want to buy specific items.

It has occurred to me that the reason why a developer would go the route of stopping their program from launching on XP (rather than saying, it might not work properly from version x going forward) is that the companies are taking this step for data integrity. In other words, allowing people to run on an unsupported OS would mean that an exploit could be used in that scenario that they would not be able to mitigate. Shutting the door is the only way they can think of.

I used to run a Quake 3 dedicated server on Windows 98.

On my Win7 x64 PC, f I have the option, I install everything to my 1 TB disk. The issues here are: 1. AppData is still going to end up on C: including temporary files. 2. Data is still stored in the user profile which is on C: In a general sense, this isn't a bad situation, as the majority of the data is going to be on the larger disk.

Probably some loose connection somewhere. I have a similar issue occasionally with my DECA network.

If Bluetoothview is like Nirsoft's USBdeview, it may allow you to delete disconnected devices right from that.

The desired name already exists.

What motherboard is it?

I think I've been to East Texas. Does Houston count?

It seems to not be a file size limit relating to DOS, but a size limit set by the application itself. I have given up trying to determine how to increase it. Instead I have been figuring out how the data is stored and I have been making some progress in that. The data is stored in fixed sized regions, so replacing the "deleted" data may end up being easier than trying to figure out how to make the flat file database larger. I may end up posting a topic into the programming section later about it.

I've run into what is either a file size or address limit with a game that I often use. I had run into this issue many years ago with the same program using actual DOS, but I had figured it was caused by some other limit. I had been running the program again, under that impression, and did not run into the issue again until now. The program allows for entering new data into it, and it gets saved into a file. The size of the original file, and the modified file is the same. DOS reports that size as 50,991. The program allows for the removal of data, however I have found that it doesn't remove it from the file, rather it marks it as deleted. So there is a finite amount of additions that can be made, and previous data cannot be removed easily. There is no EOF marker that I can determine. I have tried to increase the size of the null portion at the end of the file, but the program just will overwrite the last section anytime new data is input. There appears to be some ID value that is stored, because when the data is overwritten, ghost entries appear in the data viewer. I tried to search for what the possible limitation could be caused by, but not able to find anything helpful. Making a larger data file does not effect the program's operation, so it does not appear to be a filesize limitation. Here are the details. Main application was compiled with IBM BASIC 2.0. It uses BASRUN20.exe for runtime but no library is present. No source is available. Program currently running in DOSBox with default config. DOSBox has upper memory set at 63Kb as seen in MEM command. Data range start of last entry in data file is c6e9 / 50921. Maximum position of the original file, as seen in a hex editor is c72e / 50990. Is there some address limit that matches up with this behaviour? If it is related to the upper memory size, how can I increase this?

A program that I wrote for Windows 7, that works in 8.1 and all versions of Windows 10 up to 1809, does not work in 1903. The one thing that is changed is running a .cmd file, and I am supposing what the "context" of where the file is run. This seems to be correct, but others can test if they want. In Windows 7 through Windows 10 1809, executing a CMD would run relative to the CMD or call origin to the cmd.exe. Example. On the desktop is a .exe and a folder. Inside of the folder there is a .cmd file. From the compiled .exe, execute a call such as: "cmd /c c:\users\Administrator\desktop\folder\batch.cmd" and inside of that .cmd is "cd folder." This would have to be done because the source .exe is sitting on the desktop, and you would have to CD into the folder to get to those files. A person writing batch would do this for situations where abolute paths do not work (because programs inside required relative paths, or other situations). In Windows 10 1903, the .cmd is run relative to the default CMD path? Example: same as above, but it will fail. Running manually from default CMD context (Win+R cmd.exe) which will default the path to C:\users\Administrator. Running the absolute path to the .cmd will result in the error of unable to find the folder you CD to. It is because now a direct call using CMD will be running in the context of C:\Users\Administrator, rather than C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop, where the initiator (EXE) resides or whatever the start path in the CMD is at the time of manual testing. If the location in CMD is C:\Users\Administrator, then the .cmd file needs to have CD Desktop\folder and it will work. Some small change but it delayed rollout of 1903 for some systems, because batch pathing behavior apparently changed. I hope I explained it properly. I can do a step-by-step breakdown tomorrow if someone doesn't figure out what I'm saying.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I have found it. The Tetris that was in the Entertainment Pack and the Best of Pack is not the original Tetris. It is a port of Mirrorsoft's DOS version, which was the first official release of the game on PC, the first overall being on micros. The info refers to it as Tetris 2.00. and is official insofar that Mirrorsoft sub-licensed the rights to Microsoft, who then put their copyright on it as you can see here: https://harddrop.com/wiki/File:Windtetrisstart.png

Well I don't have that disk, and the Wikipedia page doesn't help. In fact, it cites itself which I'm pretty sure is not how that's supposed to work. In any case, there are no details as to what Tetris that is, either.

I don't think so because you can't open the Emoji Panel from the lock screen. It seems like the Windows key gets disabled there.

It is also not the newest official Tetris for Windows either.

The Lock Screen is supposed to be designed in such a way that you can't do anything from it (that matters) except for logging into or changing the user account, shutdown/restart, turn on accessibility options, connect to wireless network or enable Airplane Mode. At least that is what we are promised. Quite by accident (and of course, I can't recreate it on purpose) I was able to open the Emoji Panel while in the Lock Screen. Through some miracle of timing, Windows had processed the command to open the Emoji Panel (Windows Key + ; /semicolon) and Lock the station (Windows Key + L) in some order which presented a usable Emoji Panel on top of the Lock Screen. Normally, you cannot access the Emoji Panel after locking the system, and if you open it before locking, it will be hidden. Fortunately, there does not seem to be any entry point into anything from the Emoji Panel, as it is not modal. It leads me to believe that it would be possible to (somehow) be able to use other keyboard shortcuts to get things to appear on the Lock Screen when they shouldn't.

I can't easily find which Tetris is actually included in that pack.

There is not much control available as an admin of a desktop host. You can only have the options to authenticate or to not. There does not appear to be a way to have both. Anon or Guest access is limited, and while it should allow access to shares without a prompt, the client only will get read permissions. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/network-access-sharing-and-security-model-for-local-accounts Microsoft has nerfed the classic Guest ability of past OSes This has nothing to do with getting the other computers to see that the new computer exists.

Presuming the computers know each other's host names, and all computer are logged in using local account... You should be able to add users from the other computers to the share permissions on the host. They user ComputerName\UserAccount format. Additionally, all computers can be within the same workgroup, which may help. Ideally, you want to create a user account on the host computer, with a password, and then use those credentials to log into the share. If you choose to remember the credentials, it should not prompt you for them again. Outside of AD/NN, this is what I do. Which basically what I am recommending is NOT what you are asking. The way to get what you are asking is to enable Guest access, which would need to be done to all hosts. This is a terrible idea normally, and certainly should not be done on any systems that are moved between networks.

Is this for home or business use? If in an enterprise environment, I would query the asset management system for the old computer name and then use powershell to rename the computer. No entry into WinPE needed.

I will use the other five connected directly, but the Micron Storage Executive had no issue with the first disk being on a USB adapter. After noticing Testdisk was still trying to do something after about 20 hours, I decided to kill that and install the Micron software. It does actually use an image (a crossed out eye) to signify that TCG is enabled, but the software does not make it obvious. It was only after getting the debug info for the disk, and the log file says "TCG Status= Activated" was I able to find Micron's guide showing that image. And the PSID Revert worked fine. Afterwards I had to remove readonly attribute from the disk using Diskpart because Disk Management and Diskpart showed an error about the disk being write protected. Then I was able to format the disk fine. The Micron PDF is here. Page 20 shows the picture of what the icon looks like.
