Yes CE is consumer electronics. That was from my first time around, which was TVs, audio and home theater stuff, DirecTV and Tivo. It was during this time that I had learned Sony has 3 tiers of electronics departments outside of computers. They have CE of course, then they have a "pro" level (think music industry equipment) and their high-end (super expensive TVs basically) level of things. These three "CE" departments were not supposed to intermix, and they were isolated from each other. So much so that even on the intranet you could not find out information about those products. The only reason I even found out about those is because the customers called the wrong phone numbers sometimes. Personally I did not like the VAIO products at all. Especially in their bone-headed ideas of the time (I think around 2003 or 2004) they stopped giving the recovery CD with their computers, the built-in recovery rarely worked, and they also started selling their desktops with RAID0 by default.

First thing I can think of, regarding this: The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application. and from your post: SubmitPresentHistoryToken is this CVE MS16-062: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms16-062.aspx But I see there is no fix in 8.0 for this, only 8.1. You can try it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52235

I did not take up their offer. $500 is not enough to cover moving to the other side of the planet in two months. I worked for Sony twice, once in VAIO and once in CE.

Sure, people will just have to find something else. That is what I ended up doing when Sony relocated my job to Manilla. They offered $500 to me to pay for expenses to move there!

At what point does this bugcheck happen? Try installing with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/installing-an-unsigned-driver-during-development-and-test There are always revisions required for an OS to read newer digital certificates. For example when servicing images, some digital certificates are not usable on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 OS, and can only be used in servicing from a Windows 8.1/2012 R2 client. Microsoft realised the issue with this and they had updated the DISM tool to allow servicing of modern drivers with legacy OS by doing the work but showing a message. However, in the time before this, it was revealed that something had changed in the digital signatures of files that it was not possible to use them on the older OS, as MS had no plans to update those OS with the support for them.

I always imagined it like a raspberry.

Be aware of the terminology you are referencing: To my knowledge, there is no simple (pin to pin) DVI-D to VGA adapter that is sold. If you bought one, it is trash. Video cards and computers come with DVI-I/A to VGA Adapters because those connectors have the 4 pins for analog signal that can be converted into VGA. DisplayPort is a digital signal and you would need a processor or decoder (or active adapter) to convert the signal to analog in order to them connect it to VGA. In most cases, sending a digital signal (or a video+audio) signal into an analog only input will cause it to not work. In some cases however, it can cause physical damage.

Some people have said they have had problems with it in the past. But I had no problems with it myself. I would usually use a router to handle the DHCP, instead of using static IPs for everything. Here is a topic about this between Win98 and Win7. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/154025-connecting-a-windows-98-and-windows-7-through-a-network/

I'm not sure what those keys are. Said "OEM" key could only be from System Builder Kit or from generic royalty (I don't know how to explain it) with an OEM name on it. If the latter, it certainly be used, or previously activated. I do not know if used COA of this type can be sold, but I would think if so you should receive the physical COA. Former, System Builder media should always come in the sealed kit. Buying unsealed kit would indicate it is used. In any of these situations (besides sealed kit) you may have to call the Activation Center, and there is a chance the key is not valid. I know that you can get a key direct from MS, but it isn't an OEM key. They send you an email with the information. I would say that if this key doesn't come from MS themselves, then to not bother. If it is a used item, it may already have been activated and there is a chance it may not work for you. If they don't send you the COA, then how do you know they aren't just selling the same key to multiple people? I have heard that some times when people are buying these keys online, they end up getting VL/MAK keys, which are not allowed to be sold at all. And then those people don't know any better. Usually find out about these types because they have an activation issue or get the watermark on their screen and post online to get it fixed.

I think you can disable DDE... but... I don't see how this is a new thing. It was used to deliver virus/worm/whatever in the 90s. Even without attachments, since the main failing of (at least) Outlook Express (MSIMN) was that it would execute code in the view/preview window, including Javascript. You can find numerous examples of this online, a common reference point is that cleaned or malfunctioning virus would show an error with "DDE Server" messagebox. So it has just been fixed now, there must have been some other reason and not having anything to do with Outlook or Outlook Express.

All the things you can do are in the editor bar above the text entry field. There is not a list of commands. The software supports some of the legacy commands but does not translate them properly, such as using quote or code tags manually can result in deforming your post and even then not being able to edit your own test besides deleting it. So it is recommended that you do all changes within the built in editors. Such as code editor, you can re-enter it by double clicking the object. IT SUCKS but apparently we are just old hats shaking our fists at clouds and not hip with the times. When you post a link to something that generates a preview, a black bar shows below the text entry field you can click to make the preview go away. Spoiler seems to only partly work, at least for me. It puts in the HR but doesn't actually hide the content.

They both support workgroups, is that what you mean? The Interface on the network properties has not changed to Windows 7 from 98.

That won't go over well.

The valid options for InterfaceType are: SCSI HDC IDE USB 1394 It is not relaying that it is connected to an IDE port for you, instead this data is for the computer itself. It resides in the IDE class, because it operates under the same rules as other devices in that class. So basically you have found that while disks and interfaces have evolved over the years, they still do not actually operate differently than IDE. Since there has been no reason to make some large change to support these types of devices, no new type has been added to the class. WMI will not show you how the device is physically connected, because it does not know. The device and the driver indicate what class the device belongs to, which is IDE, and it shows you that.

It is beyond normal Setup automation. If you need to use the shrink option for Diskpart, it is better to use Diskpart, DISM and BCDBoot to deploy rather than Setup.

December 02 2016 is the most recent capture on Wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20161202204358/http://www.vistaheads.com/ June 2017 capture shows a 404 or other type error. It doesn't render properly for me. Internic shows a domain creation date of 2017-08-24, which is likely the time the domain had expired and/or was purchased by whoever is parking the domain. I know there are some other sites that can give you better info about the domain history.

The default formatting on the forum is messy, you should try using a code box with no syntax highlighting. Relevant: http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/MSWin41BRinHexEd.htm

If this is happening in a regular WinPE and using Windows Setup, you should be able to find the log files in the ramdisk (x drive) and may be a better clue of what it is doing when you get this error.

Oh I forgot, the only other way I could think is to use one of those Android emulators and have that Youtube app loaded on it. I have not used an Android emulator in a long time and back then it seemed really buggy.

There is at least one that might fit this description, and I have used one of these boards before. It is the MSI 760GM-E5 (FX) which has a floppy connector, has a BIOS (not a UEFI) and has a thing called 2.2TB Infinity that can be enabled. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/760GME51_FX/Overview https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/760GME51_FX/Specification 2.2TB Infinity is not a UEFI at all, it is some other method of allowing a 2.2TB or larger disk to be of GPT type with a single partition and boot the OS. There are some hardware compatibility issues with these boards, mostly with ODDs. You could only use the 2.2TB Infinity option if the SATA mode was set to IDE. It was not an option if set to AHCI or RAID. I had some issues with this board and had posted about it before here: http://reboot.pro/topic/16315-22tb-infinity-vs-uefi-with-winpe/

Entry level IT phone job (call center, support desk) can usually be attained by having some sort of computer experience where you had to talk to end users. Degrees or certifications are usually not required (used to weed out the scrubs) because most places do not operate with "standard" technologies and will train all new hires to their specific software. In the US (in my experience at least) it is not even actually required to have computer support experience because you can get by with just call center knowledge in any such job. It is only if you know you can do it tho, or can convince an interviewer of it. If you work a phone job enough, you can see you could do any phone job. A drawback on entry level IT positions is that an employer will typically not want to hire someone who has advance computer experience. For example, an AD Administrator could have trouble to be hired to a support job, because the employer can see the person is already more advanced in training. And because of this, they are wary of wasting the money to train and pay the person because (in their mind) they could easily leave for a better job. The only time where this isn't true is when the person has advanced experience in an "obsolete" field, such as mainframes or other such type computer jobs that are not common in the area.

.exo file is a propretary file created by a specific Youtube app on Android. I would recommend using some other method to download the video than to use that app to do it.

It is an access denied message. You'd have to figure out exactly what it is doing and where the access is being denied. If you have put this onto a DVD, try putting it onto a USB instead to see if it is the ESD itself that is getting locked.

The roadblock of not getting the UNIATA driver to install "as expected" and Windows XP not being able to see the partitions, only raw extent. I'm in a modern shop. As you can imagine, I do not happen to have Windows XP images available for modern systems. One testing requirement was for an OS that did not support UEFI, so Windows 7 32bit was chosen.

I want to make clear that my testing on XP hit a roadblock, and time/resources to continue the work have not been available to me to revisit. I would not consider this part of the testing to be "done" just because I ran into the problem. Certainly the testing could have continued if I had access to the hardware that would use the UNIATA driver properly so that the disk could be detected. Since we already knew 1) the disk was OK and 2) UNIATA works to make disks like this work... So that portion of testing still needs to be done yet and is not a closed case.
