It is due to the nature of the data, which was not alluded to here. The string has been posted in the private section of the forum. It is a best practice to not leave bugged code in public view once it has been identified. That was the reason it was removed.

Ok the next thing to determine is what exactly is happening when the connection is lost. Does the NIC report media disconnected? Is it possible that connection still exists but name resolution fails? Are there any relevant logs in Event Viewer when the connectivity issue arises? It is extremely helpful if the no-connection situation can be replicated, otherwise troubleshooting can be a bit difficult. The simple test is to run pings. You want to know if the issue is at the machine or somewhere else down the line. I would run 2 cmd windows set to run ping on two different IP addresses, using -t option (which will make it run until a break (Ctrl+C) is used, or CMD is closed. The two addresses would be first, a popular website such as google. The IP address might be different in your country, but at the moment for me it is 172.217.12.206. The second address would be one within your LAN. If not the cable modem, or a router, or perhaps another physical computer/device on the same subnet. ping -t 172.217.12.206 ping -t 192.168.0.1 the second being an example address, you'd have to determine what IP to put. Note: whichever IPs you use for the outside and inside addresses, make sure you get replies to them first by using regular ping (no -t) to make sure you get responses. Then run them using -t for the recurring ping. Then you can leave these up on another monitor, or just minimize them. When you are accessing the internet and the connection stops working, then open them up and see if they are both still getting replies or not. If both still have replies, but your internet doesn't work, you can try to ping a domain name, like google.com (not -t required) or use nslookup to see if name resolution is working. If the ping to the internal network is working but not the one to the internet, then you know where the problem lies. If both pings show no replies, then we know it is a problem with the computer itself, be it hardware or software.

I've never had to use drivers for a disk, only for the controller. You'll need a way to see the devices without drivers, use a program like NirSoft's Devmanview. Make sure to get the one for your WinPE's architecture. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html Unfortunately, when I search for y460p on Lenovo's support site, it says it can't find it.

1st post general question, 2nd post general answer. Hey Vits USA, let's try to be more specific around here, we don't post general links and hope a user fixes their problem by reinstalling Windows or disappearing from the forum forever! What type of networking are you referring to? Is it wired or wireless? We can start there.

It would be helpful to post a picture of what you are seeing.

The timeline appears correct. It was around this time that Sony had been putting wireless built into their VAIO notebooks (and unfortunately RAID1 on their VAIO desktops).. but those were not rosy times. In fact it had major problems back then and my own experiences with wifi made me sit on that technology until draft-N products were being sold at retail. Remember those early days of wireless, before smart phones but a large majority of households had cordless phones... that ran on the same or similar frequencies (including microwaves) as the wireless devices in VAIO notebooks, meaning you could not access the internet while you were on the phone or cooking a snack!

^ Confirmed! Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the words. Changing them still has the error, but something like 1::2 doesn't cause a problem.

IDK but any website that changed your mouse cursor into a dragon can't be that bad.

Your picture with the 995 message is not loading for me, it shows a blue "image not found" image.

Bad word filter is working properly. This new version is even "smart" enough to no longer censor Fukushima!

There seems to be some information missing from the report... BUT it also notes the service is not available. You need to revert any changes you made in regards to the Software Licensing Protection Service, and then run the report again. Based just on this, it would appear that the active product key cannot unlock the OS. It will not try to activate if LocalGenuineState says anything besides Genuine. Does this computer have a Windows COA on it or does it just have the Windows 8 sticker? examples: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx?tab=PCPurchase

You can see what the program is doing by using Process Monitor. Open ProcMon, add the process names to the filte, then you start monitoring and then run your program that generates the error. As soon as the error appears, stop the monitor. If this is the first time you are running ProcMon, sometimes it will start as soon as you open and/or accept the EULA. In that case, stop the monitor, then clear the log, then add the things to the filter. If there are no leads from that, you may want to enable the advanced output (under Filter). However, using ProcMon may be a problem concerning some games. It may be useful enough for detecting an OS check error, but some games have DRM that will not run if ProcMon is active, or has been run at some point during the current Explorer session. Something I ran into when trying to debug NHL 08 many moons ago. So there is the potential to get an altogether different error when trying to run the game, if that game has any detection response to programs like that.

Certainly install media may have some in there. I do not remember exactly, but it is likely the image I used had some updates in it already, more than stock DVD would. You will likely find that OEM Recovery DVDs will not have a lot of updates in them, because those increase the ISO size and it is more expensive to have the Replicator press onto Dual Layer discs...

Since Windows 8.0 was released. MS originally didn't want to release a 32bit OS with Windows 8 and later, but the business community (aka their customers) reacted as expected aka badly. So now we have 32bit OS still around thanks to that.

What hardware are you testing on or are you using a VM? I remember not seeing any systems with UEFI capability in the desktop boards until 2011, so there was no way for me to test these capabilities when Vista (or even SP1) came out. It was a thing on Server boards, but the ones I remember having UEFI 2.0 would only allow an EFI boot with RAID enabled. And then by 2011, I was only trying to get UEFI PXE boot to work. I recall those "early" days of UEFI 2.3.1, it took manufacturers a bit of time to iron out the bugs in their implementation. If you are using hardware for testing, you probably want to use something from 2013 or newer.

I only install updates as need be. On my newest build, it has just the service pack for Windows 7 in it, and any updates that were "required" when installing specific programs, or any that were redists that were installed by programs.

Since it only has 2 GB RAM, I can guess it is going to be architecture locked to booting 32bit EFI applications only. So make your USB key using the boot media for Windows 10 32bit OS, and set it to boot EFI.

Yeah, there are tasks for each of those, but you cannot see them. You would need to impersonate our favorite security context, Trusted Installer, to even see them. But seeing the output like this, all in one place, is better than dealing with the Task Scheduler, which buried everything in a bunch of folders... Which is the "folders" you are seeing being referenced, not folders on your hard drive. Start first with disabling tasks that you know are relating to services or options you have disabled. Even if something is disabled, a task may exist to attempt something, and when it cannot (or a child process cannot) then you can get a log in event viewer. The Task Scheduler in Windows Vista and newer OS is one thing I never cared for. It seems like everything got way more complicated for some reason.

When you say XP Emulation mode, do you mean the "XP Mode" virtual machine? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh859554.aspx When I upgraded to Windows 7, I just basically put a blank hard drive into my XP computer and then installed Win7 on it. I still have full access to the other disks that were in my XP computer, and even most programs can be run from those old installations! Microsoft Office need not apply, however. For an email client, I can only recommend Mozilla Thunderbird, but it can have difficulties with some MS Exchange configurations.

There may be a scheduled task present that is trying to run something. Run schtasks on elevated CMD and see if anything shows up there.

If you are having a problem on Firefox and have the developer add-on, you can do an inspect on something, then change to the network menu, and then click the next page. Then if there is some delay in some part of the process, it should be recorded there. The process is similar for Chrome, but that inspector window may show up on the right side of the browser instead of the bottom. Here is an example picture of what I am talking about in Firefox This may help to point to where the slowdown is.

You may want to run a trace on the program to see if it actually uses the registry to determine Service Pack level, or if it uses something else. I had a similar issue in the past concerning iTunes but was not able to determine a method to easily fool the program. It used some method other than reading the registry or the version of a particular file. I ended up not solving the issue, ending up with a broken iTunes...

Why, you can't do this thing? Text your email address. Reply to the email with a .wav or .mp3 attached. Then you get that on your phone, save and set it?

Ok so we can all agree that washing hands in hospitals and restaurants is important, and that apparently these signs are for employees... This type of sign, with these instructions, is well beyond the simple "employees must wash hands" sign you may see in a bathroom, or the giant STOP sign I see at say.. Wendys that says "STOP wash hands if passing this line" in which there is a line taped/painted to the floor and a sink is there too. It is the amount of detail put into it. It looks similar to the instruction cards you would see for how to help someone who is choking, or what to do if your airplane has crashed into the ocean. Specific scenarios that are not common knowledge and those instructional cards can be used in a pinch. Beyond the fact that we would expect any business would have informed their employees that they must wash their hands, as a course of job training, or that such information would be in their employee handbook. Part of a sign like this is the same issue you often run across, a company treating their employees like children. Then there is the other side of the coin. As I go into a business bathroom, and see the sign saying that employees must wash hands, indicates to me that if that sign were not there, the employees would not be doing that.

Confirm, it started yesterday at some point. I saw one page took 5 minutes to load. Earlier today when I was on, I tried to make a post but the reply never went through after about a half an hour.
