I recall not liking how the ADK could write directly to USB, so I have never done this. What I do instead is just format the USB as FAT32 and then copy all the files from c:\winpe_dir\media to the root of the USB. Also, make sure you use the boot menu on your hardware to verify which boot method you are choosing because you can't let the system pick on its own.

There is no story about this one:

Yes there was a particular problem on 100Mb networks that I encountered... but I can say (in my experience) it had nothing to due with 100Mb connections. In fact, your imaging time is maybe only increase 10-20% on a 100Mb connection. And also I will consider a *normal* (maximum) image size to be around 6GB. And unless you are running a pure 100Mb segment, I would recommend using hardware that support Link Aggregation so to not slow down gigabit connections.

Yes this way is possible. On your old phone, you transfer your contacts to Gmail, then on new phone you just sync your Gmail. There are problems with this for some phones, where phone based contacts and those that came from Gmail are in separate sections. I recall this was how I got my contacts moved from Galaxy S to Galaxy S 4, because the old program I used before couldn't see into the S4 properly. So it is a bit annoying on the new phone that the default Contacts list only will show the contacts added into the phone directly, while the imported ones do not show up in the main list, but can be seen in "Unsorted" and others in other categories. They can all be found using search.

It is the yes in a normal world. However in this UEFI world, things are a bit more complicated. The part I posted is still true, but with UEFI we have this: 1. 32bit CPU with UEFI that allows booting 32bit EFI applications 2. 64bit CPU with UEFI that allows booting 32bit EFI applications 3. 64bit CPU with UEFI that allows booting 64bit EFI applications 4. 64bit CPU with UEFI that allows booting 32bit and/or 64bit EFI applications 5. 64bit CPU with UEFI that allows booting 32bit and/or 64bit EFI applications under special circumstances I almost forgot about the board I once worked with that fell into 2, 3 and 5 of that list on different BIOS versions. The underlying facts still remain that in any case a 64bit CPU can run either architecture, but a 32bit CPU can't run 64bit but could run 16bit. And I think a 64bit CPU could run 16bit also.... There was news recently that Intel says they are going to get rid of CSM or the ability to boot legacy OS on their boards, by 2018 or 2019. I surmise this means that those future chipsets will only be able to boot EFI applications on GPT. I wonder what this means for DOS. :'(

Back then XP was still a current product, we (my company) opted to go with imaging rather than using any sort of unattended setup like with WDS or from CD+network share because imaging was just faster. You only have some initial setup time for creating the image itself, which does not get figured into manufacturing time. Then when you can image a system in 4 minutes, it can be a big deal when you are talking about needing to image hundreds of systems. WDS and CD installs just did not cut it.

Yes originally it was just an program that could connect to multiple IM servers, but (at least) when their Astra version came out, they added a Trillian account and some unspecified time later (unknown to me) they made it so you could use Trillian exclusively to IM without any of the 3rd party IM servers.

There are flaws to this method of detection, unless this cmd is to used in a controlled environment. The reason being is that you can install a 32bit OS on a computer with a 64bit processor. All we know for a fact is that: 1. a 32bit CPU can only have 32bit Windows installed 2. a 64bit CPU can have 32bit or 64bit Windows installed Also the presence of a Syswow64 folder is not good because it can be created on a 32bit OS (but serve no purpose) OR can be created by misbehaving installers/programs! You'd think if you wanted to find the architecture of the OS, you would only need to read a value relating specifically to that and not some other things that only might be correct most of the time. Instead, you can read out of WMI to find this info, or parse the output of WMIC. This will work from Vista and newer OS: wmic os get osarchitecture It reads from the Win32_OperatingSystem class: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394239(v=vs.85).aspx

I am not certain. All I know is that there is a trillian account, which did exist for some time but it was not originally able to act as an IM. I first became aware of it when their Astra version came out, which I believe was in XP days. That is what my question is, at which version can you actually use the Trillian account for IM purposes? I had not used it until after AOL made their original annoucement, so I am unsure as to when the Trillian client actually became capable of it. And also, I have only used it on Windows 7 systems for some years now.

It is the correct section, but this thread was made as a honeypot for spambots. 99% of the time a thread like this is made, the user does not actually have this problem. Once any spam posts are made into a thread like this, make sure to use the report button on them.

It should be pretty soon huh? I still let my AIM accounts connect automatically, but I've basically already made the switch to using Trillian as my IM account. I'm not sure if there is a Trillian that works in 9x that can use a Trillian account. I'm going to guess my old installs will be pretty much unusable shortly.

When you use your work notebook at home, do you log into your domain account or with a different account? I'd be curious to know what network profile the notebook is in and then see if there is a setting difference for file sharing in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. The three network profiles are Domain, Private and Public (or All). Check the settings for File and Printer Sharing of each of the many types, if they are enabled and which profile they belong to. You can also run gpresult from CMD, as it is possible your company's domain may have a GPO that is not allowing the connection as well.

Well, "Spoopy" is immediately identifiable as a meme, I believe (popularly) it began with this Halloween item someone found in a store and took a picture of it. But since then, any usage of "spoopy" can either be a true typo but more likely an homage to the meme.

By pinging "THERMALTAKE" or the IP address?

It depends on the board you are using and it may depend on the hard disk model. If you can post those we can look them up. But generally with modern hardware, you just need to install Windows onto the disk in EFI mode and then you would have the full disk as your C: drive.

I will be first to blame the video card on that computer. It does not support Aero in Win7, so if the new browser is using some different rendering option then it would be my first guess.

SMF is a fine forum for a site just starting out. It is too-bareboned on its own and it is kind of a pain to deal with on the admin/mod side.

Its funny, I went into a co-workers office one day he has Windows 10 on his workstation with multiple monitors. He had calculator opened on one of them and it was comically large! It took like 3/4 of the screen! Even on the MS Store page, you can see how large it is in the example screenshots. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/windows-calculator/9wzdncrfhvn5 Now imagine how it looks, by default, on a 22" monitor!

The first step you need to do is identify the Hardware IDs of both the USB and the storage controller. Then find the drivers for each and add them to your install source and to your OS image. You can find the HwID by booting a WinPE and use Nirsoft's Devmanview: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html Or in DOS there are programs such as pciscan.exe.... BUT i am having difficulty finding where this tool comes from. Anyways, it is always easier to know exactly what you are looking for rather than blindly trying drivers. It is real simple, you find the hardware ID, then you can open the INF of a driver and see if the hardware ID is in there or not. If it is, then you can try it. If it isn't, don't bother!

I am seeing screen tearing when scrolling on pages, such as if I am fast enough in scrolling the page isn't rendered and the lower part of my browser window will be all black. I cannot get a screenshot of this behaviour. PS: I see the Noscript icon appears all by itself and so I guess all is well (so far) with this browser.

Yes you just have to change your browser's user agent. It doesn't always work tho, because some websites will then use tricks or methods specifically for that other type of device, and any such tricks obviously won't work on the wrong browser. It is worth a shot tho!

Well, WSIM is the program to create XML files. I rarely ever use it, but if you are new to making these types of files, it is the way to go. The only function of WSIM I find particularly useful is the ability to check syntax vs an image. There are some instances where an XML will work fine on the stock DVD, but not work on a custom image. So I wouldn't put WSIM down as a deployment tool in the same way as ICD. ICD is an evolution of the EDT (Express Deployment Tool) and is like an entry level version of MDT. MDT seems to be the good thing to use, but even it and ICD have the same issues to me. They are designed specifically for use in the Enterprise Channel and are not very useful if you are in the OEM Channel due to imaging requirements being different.
