  1. Make sure that your eventual release complies with redistribution policies.
  2. Do you have an Adaptec SCSI card in this computer?
  3. Closing this topic for now.
  4. Not sure about enabling, but I have used the full offline redist in Win7 images before without a problem.
  5. Hard disk based Recovery for Windows 7 is not in the WAIK. It was not made public until Windows 8 ADK which does not work for Windows 7. In order to have recovery for Win7 you'll need to use a software program that does it for you like Acronis.
  6. I disagree with the conclusions on that story. The entire thing reminded me of the normal users were doing to make things work on their Windows 95 and 98 computers. Did that person use a computer back in the late 90s? Did he forget about codec hell?
  7. Welcome to the MSFN!
  8. It would be unfair to create a Linux Destro without also creating a Linux Cobra Commander.
  9. I never heard of that! Well its too late, I've already decided to build a Win95 PC for my voodoo card. Sounds neat tho.
  10. I just saw something about that today. Someone on Technet created a topic about how to stop it from showing ads.
  11. A movement has already been started by those who are opting out of the new-age of software and IoT thingies. Soon we will all return to writing each other letters again if this keeps up. BUT that is not a setting I have used before I don't think. There was some new thing on my Firefox at work when I opened it this week. Something about asking for your name and phone number! but also something that shows a symbol up in the "secure color" part of the URL that pertained to enabling tracking for every site even if you aren't on there. Perhaps that is related to the removal of the setting. I would probably prefer not to update Firefox, but gone are the days when it would prompt you for update. Now it does it on its own apparently.
  12. Stock Vista WinPE2.0 x64 typically requires some amount less than 1GB RAM on the client not sure if it is more/less than 768MB. My standard practice is: WinPE2.0 x64 1GB RAM or higher WinPE2.0 x86 512MB RAM or higher Using newer PEs should only be as-needed or when clients have more than 1GB RAM.
  13. This is not correct. The only time we can read a user's PM is if someone reports it.
  14. From what I've seen, mislabelled RAM had discrepencies in timing more so than memory size. Can you post the part number on the RAM stick too?
  15. In all cases since this became "a thing" the spam responders have different IPs than the OP. So this isn't a case of 2 people in an office making posts to each other. The IP doesn't get blacklisted but it could. That is something the spam service handles. It also handles how it decides to permit users to register on the forum. I'm sure its a complicated process. Anyways, i would wholly expect that spammers are using TOR to do their dirty work. And they don't seem to actually be bots that do this. They go about and fill out profile information somewhat randomly, with exception to that "flap" of Vista Business types we had awhile back. Anyways, I'm going to move this topic into Site & Forum issues.
  16. It is a hard question to search for. My only guess would be to install N and see if it lets you change product key to the KN one.
  17. Welcome to the MSFN!
  18. It seems to me that this computer may have had a virus infection in the past. It may explain why some of the expected behaviours of Windows are not working.
  19. In my experience, what is written on RAM labels can be wrong. Better to check the SPD info using CPU-Z or a similar tool. This topic title reminded me of something I noticed during the upgrade history of my home computer. There was a noticeable slowdown in going from an 850 board with 768MB RDRAM to a 865 board with 3GB DDR. I didn't stick with the 865 for too long and ended up using the 850 in another computer.
  20. The problem is this. We can only surmise that the OP is part of a team, especially since they do not return to reply in the thread. BUT there is no way to be sure. We do know that people can be desperate for an answer and make a topic on many forums asking the same question, then not return to all of them when replies occur. This happens a lot and these are real people. Spam bots will reply to those topics too. Just because we can find the same question on google doesn't mean there isn't some site it was posted on and that was where the OP continued to post on. Not everything shows up on google. I have talked to other forum admins and some do flag the OP as well as the respondant. However because there is a chance that the OP is a real person, I don't want to run the risk of reporting a legit user, their email address and their home or work IP address to a spam service. That is what we do, not just banning users. I have had to personally deal with people who have had their information show up on a blacklist somewhere and it is not a fun time for them.
  21. Welcome to the MSFN!
  22. List vol is fine, but doesn't do much by selecting disk 0. If you can re-run the diskpart command and do this instead: select disk 0list part That will show which partitions are on disk 0. The list vol command does not only show volumes on the selected disk and is showing extra things like card readers or optical drives.

  24. True spam topic that serve no purpose will be deleted. No reason to mark them as such.
