  1. I can't say exactly if it doesn't work properly, as there are way too many external includes for me to want to figure out which exact one will make the pictures appear. w3c validator shows a heap of errors, so does the browser console. It is just a badly written page.
  2. This forum is English only. If you post in French then you need to also put in a translation or just post in English.
  3. There is no such thing as a secure operating system. I am wondering if this software will run on a Windows PE.
  4. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that may be a legacy option relating to SMB which has been disabled due to security reasons. Setting up share permissions between computers is trivial and doesn't use that option. You can post which edition of Windows 8 you have and also what OS is on your new computer and someone should be able to answer.
  5. Presumably, you could re-sign MACHINE.INF after editing it, but I do not know if you have to sign it with a certain tool to match how it was signed originally. Also I do not know if you can use just any program to do it. Back when my company had to sign MS OS files, we had to use a PC with a PCI cryptography card to sign files.
  6. I have doubts it is relating to the OS, rather how the firmware makes the information about installed devices available to the OS for enumeration. The question I would have is where that information is kept (or being read from) when Standard PC HAL is being used, since it wouldn't in the MPS table, and (apparently) not an ACPI table.
  7. Running a VM not necessarily for remote access. There are programs that can run VMs, I use VMWare Player. The issue you had is that you don't have a lot of storage space. Offloading where the OS is located to another machine on a VM would alleviate that issue because you would be using disk space on a different computer. Running an emulator/hypervisor on the device and then making a VM to run inside of it does not solve your issue. Why do you need OSX? Think or Swim runs on Windows. And since that is a serious business software, it may be better to pay the price of doing business and buy/use something with a larger hard disk.
  8. I would recommend you use some formatting on your post, such as using the underline on the program names.
  9. Welcome to the MSFN!
  10. Everyone is allowed to have a website in their profile.
  11. 1. 32 GB is too small for a retail SKU IMO. The smallest (with newest) OS I have used is a 40 GB VM with Server 2008 R2. For that small size, you would use either an Embedded SKU or an older OS like Vista or XP. Or perhaps a non-Windows product. 2. Dell Recovery DVD for Windows 7 should install fine on another brand, but it won't activate on a non-Dell system. 3. In either case, you can attempt to activate with the old key, or a key from the shop, but you may have to use Telephone Activation (Slui 4) in both cases. You won't know until you try. 4. You can certainly run a small size hypervisor on a system. I don't know the names of any of those options, I've only use ESXi and Hyper-V. You can also look into VDI type or terminal setups. Do not mention the name of any warez on this forum. This includes modified Windows versions that are able to be downloaded from archive.org.
  12. Located to the right of the top memory slot
  13. That is Retail. An OEM is not allowed to redistribute RTM media. See below. This is a recovery disc. The OEM (Fujitsu in this case) had created a bootable recovery using the RTM version as the base, then sent the DVD9 master to an Authorized Replicator who then pressed this disc. This was sold this way because the system was sold under OEM-facilitated Downgrade Rights, in which case the system must include a recovery solution for both the OS that is installed as well as the OS that was licensed. A recovery partition is enough to satisfy this requirement, however at a point during an OS transition, close to EOL (End of License) period, the OEM is likely to include the physical recovery media even if a recovery partition is present solely because they have stock of it and they need to get rid of it. After EOL, there is no way to distribute the physical media aside from an RMA, so after that point it just goes into the garbage.
  14. If they post spam, they will get banned. Not going to do anything about those two accounts at this time.
  15. While my solution to the update issue is different, since I am using a network segment, the same can be applied to a single system. I block all Microsoft domains and IPs, and thus the systems cannot update. Then I can use any OS I want. RTM = Release to Manufacturing and to be clear, the RTM versions were only made available in the OEM channel as either a download or physical media, and I've never once seen an RTM disc for sale in the secondary market. The closest you can legally get to using RTM would be to use a System Builder Kit. And RTM should not be used to mean "no service pack" because Windows 7 SP1 has an RTM version also.
  16. Hmm I am just aware of the Pegasus system.
  17. I don't type in questions to any search engine that wasn't Ask Jeeves. I tried the AI search at Newegg to show me SFF with integrated video and it still will only show mid-tower systems with video cards.
  18. I am working with an ISO image, the Intel Deployment Assistant for S5500BC server board. It can be downloaded here (site works with JS disabled, normally I wouldn't like to use a site like this) https://www.helpdrivers.com/servers/Intel/Intel_Server_Management_and_Maintenance/Deployment_Assistant/ (filename is e40558-009cd.zip) The ISO inside can be opened with 7zip but there are two files I cannot seem to extract properly. They are rwc2.zso and usr.zso located in boot\ dir. These files can be opened/extracted with 7zip but they do not extract properly. All files have a header indicating that they are compressed with zisofs. Now it is likely I can extract these files from within Linux but I am trying to determine if there is a way to extract them in Windows. After some research I find that mkisofs can compress in that format but the -help doesn't make it seem that there is an extract option. So far I have been coming up empty on trying to find a way to extract those archives in Windows. So the questions here are 1. Is there a way to extract with mkisofs? 2. Is there another Windows program I can use to extract zisofs compressed files?
  19. Starting point for the Part II is here. From Elira's post: Stale
  20. For me it seems most of the issue is relating to Same Origin Policy/CORS and without looking too deep into things, it sounds like rather than provide a secure or compatibilty web interface, they instead will just show the message.
  21. There is some issue with 512 MB VRAM in Win98 FE, but I haven't dug into what it is exactly.
  22. After changing the link to the actual announcement instead of some blog, it is written as if Copilot is a front end for various LLMs and other similar systems.
  23. All links to Windows OS ISO have been removed. Do not post links to the ISO on the forum.
  24. Script bloat is the reason why the forum appears to be slow. You can run a Performance test in Inspector. At least for me, most time was spent on scripting.
