I see that all of you are using different browsers, Edge and 2 different Firefox on 3 different OS... And other regular members can post into there. It doesn't seem to be a problem with account or group permissions, nor browser... There is the possibility that it is timing based, but Supers don't have access to the error logs. @xper would be able to see these errors being reported by either the forum or the website and perhaps would have a better viewpoint of what the forum is trying to do at those times. EDIT: after some looking, it appears that some users are getting a 403 response from the server on posting a reply or attempting to edit (POST do=edit) a post on various threads or forums. It does not (outwardly) appear to be a problem with browsers, OS or forum permissions, and it would be likely that it could happen to any user.

Well, are those videos even embedded properly? I personally would prefer that a browser render things by the standard, meaning that embedded videos that the developer uses with an include that contains a Doctype declaration should be ignored or break the page! Yet, there does not seem to be any modern browsers that will do that. I prefer Palemoon, which is a Mozilla browser. Like Firefox (and you can import your bookmarks and stuff) but without most of the fluff put into the flagship browser.

Using the Application Compatibility Toolkit is a pain! if you run it on Windows 7, it won't show the DPIUnaware option, but getting the ACT to run on Windows 10 is difficult. I had to install and reinstall it 3 times before it would open. Otherwise, it would just say that the program doesn't support the OS. Even so, this method will not work for Windows PE, precisely because you can't install the database into WinPE without extensive work. You can't run sdbinst.exe from a mounted dir, because there are numerous dependencies missing. I may get back to it later, but debugging the dependencies may take more time than I am willing to invest currently. Using the registry keys for compatibility do not seem to do anything in WinPE. REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /V "C:\Program Files(x86)\folder\app.exe" /T REG_SZ /D "~ DPIUNAWARE" /F Var list: "~ HIGHDPIAWARE" = Override high DPI scaling behavior (Application) "~ DPIUNAWARE" = Override high DPI scaling behavior (System) "~ GDIDPISCALING DPIUNAWARE" = Override high DPI scaling behavior (System Enhanced) Back to the drawing board.

I'm actually looking into this again... Ref: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/194443-checkbox-rendering-issue-on-certain-displays/ EDIT: in regards to my issue, mines is specifically dealing with an application that does not render properly on some DPI settings in WinPE 10, however this particular issue is not relevant to anything based on HTA which can be fixed. NOTE: this does not help: https://michlstechblog.info/blog/windows-pe-disable-autoscaling/ This is the next thing i will look at: https://chentiangemalc.wordpress.com/2017/05/22/force-dpi-scaling-for-configuration-manager-console/

Shorterxp, again, not a problem with your account. It should work. If you think it is a cache issue, try using Ctrl+F5 first.

I can't remember the last time I had bought a CD at a big retail store like that. Now there are no music stores around, it still hasn't led me to buying CDs at retail. That isn't to say I don't buy CDs, but basically I tend to not want to spend money for listening to music I can hear for free on the radio... basically retail stores only sell pop music.

It is not a problem with your account, as I was able to confirm your account can post into that thread. I would try again, or trying using a different browser just for a test.

There are two problems. 1. This is a Dell OS and it is not on an appropriate Dell motherboard. 2. There is something removed by nLite that has resulted in incomplete information in the MGADiag report. I would surmise that even if this OS was installed on the correct Dell board, it may still not work.

@NoelC are you comparing OS states from before vs after the Spectre/Meltdown updates?

The only (Activation) Product Keys I know that can "expire" are Volume License. Either because the Partner let their account lapse or the keys were blacklisted because they were leaked online and new keys were issued to the original party. If you can still boot into the OS proper, run MGADiag and post the results into here. Perhaps there is another reason why the OS won't activate.

At least, that is, that you know of. Regarding cloud hosting (or heck even just an FTP someplace) you put your trust in the host to keep your stuff secure from others and also that the host won't be snooping around themselves. And you would never know if that trust is broken. Some people just can't put that amount of trust into a company, especially when they see data storage companies being hacked and acting badly almost every day.

It is done, ユカルミャ

The depends shown in that thread with the screenshot looks different than mine, so I would expect it to be an older version. Note that you will get errors with Depends on a modern OS due to the fact that it can't resolve some symbol or link files, and show weird, and you have to figure out what the actual file is that it represents. You will know these because they have hyphens in them. And sometimes it will show a dependency that it says is not present (it shows up in red) but is actually present. IEshims.dll seems to do this a lot, but the file is actually present.

OK for the file in the wayback link (referred to as setup.exe) I can see it is running InstallShield, and the manifest is present and requires Microsoft Windows Common Controls v6.0 x86. So there is your first requirement. I have no issue seeing dependencies on this exe, but I do see that teh File OS data in VS_VERSION_INFO says "DOS (Windows16)" which I am not sure if it is worth noting. But it is not saying the EXE is a 16bit file, as I did a test install to get the contents on a 64bit OS. Dependency Walker v2.2.6000 (x86) can also open the setup.exe without error. WscGuard.exe shows the expected WINDOWS32 data for File OS, but the dependencies are much different. Can you do a walkthrough or post a picture of what exactly you are trying to open?

Why not just make it not update if it is installed on XP or Vista? I'd imagine the "launcher" portion of Steam would continue to work, such as the redeem, drop-downs and the game library. If they are saying that they will make it so you can't play your games anymore, that would be a big problem. If things keep the same way, eventually they would just do that to me and my Windows 7 Steam computers and say I'd need to use Windows 11 or whatever. And there aren't "several" XP games on Steam, there are thousands, maybe even tens of thousands. And going forward, would the Steam client allow you to buy and install XP games from a Windows 10 system? Such as: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: https://store.steampowered.com/app/9010/ Which is 2000/XP. I'm sure that it would since I already know the Steam client will allow a purchase and attempt install of a 64bit game on a 32bit OS.

It may depend on the OS. ALT+Space does work on the CMD on the Windows 7 32bit that I tested on. Is what is displayed in the CMDs even important? Because if not, you can just put up a "please wait" message, and run those CMDs minimized so that they do not appear at all.

No longer? You did just register about a day since you made this post.

I hope it was not any links from the past 3 months.

With focus, your typical CMD or program can be minimized using a keyboard like so: ALT+SPACE, N And to restore it is: ALT+SPACE, R Presuming focus is retained. If focus is lost, then any such script would need to select the UI object first before sending those keys. So it would probably be best if that method is used in both instances. BUT... I'm not sure that I am grasping the design of the application. If the desire is that some of the code is to be hidden from view so that the users do not see it, then shown again later when things are safe to view or as a message indicating the task is complete, then perhaps a different approach should be used instead.

It is changed.

If those do not work, you can unplug your hard drives and try that way. Normally, if Windows has gone to hibernate, you won't be able to enter setup, as the computer is not really in an off state, thus POST does not occur.

For USB 3.0 there are usually 2 drivers you need to add. For intel, they have a driver for the controller and also for the hub. VIA may be similar (edit as cdob says in that thread). Also, if you are using a stock boot.wim, make sure you are injecting your drivers into Image Index 2. Also make sure to use a Windows 7 SP1 source.
