I can think of at least 1. No it isn't me.

Don't get used to it, it will probably change soon.

You should still be able to connect to your site externally when you have dynamic IP. If you don't choose to purchase a plan with your ISP for a Static IP, you'll need something like Dynamic DNS to be able to assign a domain name to it. You also are going to need to allow connection to your website through the Windows firewall. When testing locally, you can tell that this is a problem because the localhost path will work but the IP address won't. In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, under Inbound rules, allow the two World Wide Web Services options on your specific connection profile, or if unknown set it for all types.

It seems most people use VMs to test because they are easier to set up than physical systems. Also a lot of people don't seem to have access to other computers they can just reinstall an OS on all the time. So I think that it is common due to its ease of use.

I was looking at this again and found some interesting things. My original idea that a square image being required seems to not be correct. I found a curious thing. On 16:9 displays the vertical resolution of the winpe.jpg is (approx) 270px. I used an image with shapes to determine this size. Then I checked with the cat image from above, and yep 270px again. I'm eyeballing what is actually displayed vs the original image with a marquee tool. So I have 2 different source images, with one having multiple resizes, that are showing the same height. It would also appear that either the horizontal doesn't matter, or that if the horizontal is less than x size then it will stretch. If you look at the 2 images above, I did 2 tests. Legacy boot on 16:9 display UEFI boot on 4:3 display The 4:3 you can see more on the vertical, closer to 290px. WinPE's winpe.jpg seems to fit nicely in 480x270, which is also the resolution of the Sony PSP.

That method appears to be a common thing for XP, but for later OSes, people say to parse the output of netsh. netsh wlan show int

These two posts split from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175077-in-place-upgrade-to-windows-7-home-premium/ In the future, don't OT post in a help topic and don't argue amongst each other about it. Ask a moderator to split the posts out into a new thread. The bickering posts in that other thread have been hidden.

Are you sure? I am pretty sure that the client shows them in alphabetical order based on the update name.

Why single out the government? It really gives an opportunity to anyone.

New signature: Text in signature are actual strings from the Office 2016 setup executable! I was looking in that exe for install switches and happened upon them. I arranged them in order but I left some out. The top one (Click-to-Run) is enough to denote it from being from Office. You can see these for yourself as someone did a Malwr analysis of the exe. Go to Static Analysis, Strings to see them if you are skeptical. https://malwr.com/analysis/MTUwN2I5MDc1MjhiNDYyNWI4N2U2YmU1Yzk0YjU2YjM/ Top layer is modified from the image used here: http://siliconangle.com/blog/2015/03/06/what-office-2016-for-mac-says-about-nadellas-new-microsoft/ actual image http://siliconangle.com/files/2015/01/Microsoft-CEO-Satya-Nadella-Windows-10-Press-Briefing-1080x675.png Made the monitor wider and cleaned out what was on the screen. 1 layer, 13 objects.

These files should always be the same size. OEMBIOS.BI_ OEMBIOS.CA_ OEMBIOS.DA_ OEMBIOS.SI_ They would exist on both an OEM provided recovery CD or on an OEM System Builder CD. On System Builder CD, these files will have the same date as the other files, on an OEM Recovery CD, these files have a newer date. OEM provided will have a custom label and include their company name and/or logo. System Builder CD is Microsoft branded hologram disc and will have a MS part number. For example. Win XP Pro SP2 v2002 has PN X10-59871. Be careful as "OEM" is a catch-all term that people use and can refer to either of these disc types.

Is this the same as the other thread, where your video driver crashed/stopped responding/didn't recover in time? I have had this problem before but not XP. You may try to update your video driver to see if it does anything.

It sounds like you just need to remove that shortcut from the Startup folder. If you boot your PC using a boot media like a Win7 setup DVD, other WinPE, Linux live-cd, DOS with NTFS (if you are using that) support, etc you should be able to delete that shortcut.

The OS that Dell installed to your PC does not use the product key from the COA. This is the reason why MS had removed the Product Key from Direct COAs starting with Windows 8. So its ok to take note of it, but you will probably use the product keys you found in the OS.

If starting from a fresh install, I always will take updates in smaller batches, rather than trying to install everything it finds all at once.

Enhanced Write Filter? Which specific edition of XP are you using and how exactly did you add/enable it?

Yeah, the "youtube" link did go to an actual video, which seemed fine by itself. There was only 1 comment, one that went to one of those paid file repair programs.

Oh an eyeball? I thought it was the Windows 7 "donut"

Nah, I think we'll keep it.

If you renewed the subscription to your security program and the company that made it is removing support for your OS, maybe they would be kind enough to pro-rate a refund for you. The topic of security/anti-virus and whether you need to use (or even pay for) them has been a debate for many years.

No, I will use a browser on an OS, even if it isn't supported, until it is unable to do what I want it to. The only other Chromium browser I've used is SRWare Iron. Make a new thread in Software Hangout asking about Comodo Dragon.

Oh the software works just fine. It is just that either of those companies have determined it is not worth the effort to continue development of your OS. So rather than have you opt-in to "an update might break your computer" they just shut you out. There are other Chromium browsers available other than the one Google released. Perhaps one of those will continue on with support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29#Active

Is it still true that Defender doesn't pick up the EICAR file?
