I think this is your issue. It appears that Samsung does not create a Blue-Ray drive. Without that requirement though, you can find several drives they do make.

It may be a problem with your parent folder permissions. I had a similar problem when trying to setup a samba share. Even when trying to let "everyone" access the share, most of the files could not be accessed due to being not "owned" by everyone. When you create new files inside of a folder, those ...

Never encountered this behavior, but i use Noscript, so any non essential script is blocked. I generally use this behavior also. However, I have noticed "similar" behavior when working on a local file (the local file had form elements). It would not refresh the styles / form elements properly. I ha...

regedit, msconfig & taskman??? Wow ... I must be out of it. I missed your post by about a month now. Regedit & MSConfig, yes. Taskman, not so much. I think they would be useful shortcuts to be added. I used to have one that would add a shortcut for the registry editor to the control panel. I have n...

regedit, msconfig & taskman??? Actually, a link in the control panel for both the Registry Editor and the MSConfig program would be perfect. I used to have a tweak that would do that for me. After a sudden computer crash a couple of weeks ago, I had to install from a "basic" scratch Windows 7 insta...

Now that is useful. I did not know you could add exceptions from the command line for the firewall. Thank you for the information.

Open for debate on additives to this pack... Thank you for the update. I am not sure if it would be considered an "additive", but it fits with the links into the control panel. Maybe have a link that will open up the registry editor. If you have that in another one of your installers, I might have ...

Yeah, I know the feeling about being a type 1 diabetic. Been that way for at least 18 years (likely had 'pre-diabetes' in my teenage years). I am glad you are doing better. It is a daily struggle to stay alive. Most days I do just fine, but then I have my "bad" days. If you need any tips/pointers, l...

It is an older freeware program, but I think "Audiograbber" still counts as a great 'ripping' program. It can be located here: http://www.audiograbber.org/ As I do not use EAC, I do not know what options it has. Never tried to use "environment variables", but it could be tested for easily on "Audogr...

Unless your executable is 64bit, it should not be going to the "system32" directory in the first place. It should actually go to the "syswow64" directory. As it is, I know you need admin rights to get to the "system32" directory. It may be that the redirection does not quite work because you do not ...

Hmm, I just figured since it existed for XP that it would have been possible for 7 as well. What is keeping us from having a direct integration? The install *can* be different for every system. However the truth is, no one has taken the time to actually create a directly integrateable .net 4 addon....

The closest you are going to get is here: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9013&highlight= . {Look toward the end of the topic for the latest download.} It will *not* be integrated. There are few people (if any) who can do a "direct" integration with the OS. The best (and as far as I am c...

Kel, have you tried the installer created by troubada created here http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9013 about halfway down the page. It works on Windows 7 for both x32 and x64. It actually works quite well.

Thank you for the informative article. Luckily I have not had that issue.

For those looking for this on Siginet's "changed" forum, it is here: http://siginetsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?18-Release-cmdhide.exe-%28cmdow-replacement%29 The posted link is incorrect.

The problems with the files you are having would definitely seem to be a hdd issue. Although running chkdsk would do something similar, you might try moving everything off the drive and performing a regular long format on the partition (not the quick format as it does not check for bad spots). It co...

I miss Windows XP. :( As do I. I am surprised they do not make the "addon" system a little bit more modularized. Something along the lines of an "API" to access the appropriate information/controls on the browser. That way the "versioning" problem becomes almost irrelevant as the updates do not des...

crashfly

From what I information I have gathered on the winsxs folder is that it was supposed to prevent version conflicts of files. As such, windows 7 keeps *every* copy of a specific dll that it runs into, and links those to the appropriate directories. The flaw to the winsxs directory is that it could gro...

crashfly

It is probably not the "applying" bit for nlite, but it more of where the tweaks get applied. During windows setup, up until the last reboot, everything for HKCU is written to the 'default user'. If something does not get applied properly, it may be because the 'default' is changed by a startup conf...

While I cannot contribute a video site for you, I can make a suggestion. Just split the video up into 3 or 4 parts and label them as such. It might be more beneficial to have them be "learning segments". I do not know many people who want to sit and watch a 48 minute instructional video.

crashfly

Yeah, I checked that out today. Seems completely possible to make everything integrated. I will have to test it out (and then update it) to see if it can do what it says it can do.

My main reason for moving to Windows 7 over a year ago was the fact they have released games requiring Vista (think Halo 2). I heard Vista was a piece of junk, and Win7 was what Vista was supposed to be. I have found no reason to complain so far. I have even embrace the libraries (although I do not ...

OMG guys, should I let him in?!?!?!?!?! :twisted: It would depend on what you truly feel about the user/IP address. The worst that could happen is he does not get in. However, if you are feeling generous to accept the user, yourself (or one of the other moderators) could keep a watch on the posts a...

The link gets me a "404 file not found" error. Any chance in fixing that Kel? I would be most appreciative.

ComodoFree is what I use, but I prefer to turn it off when I'm at home.. Well, I may change this decision in the future. I suppose that remote attacks shouldn't be that easy on a full-updated OS. Anyway thanks for the links. I used to use the free version of Comodo, however due to some a bug in one...

Should the same be said of nLite soon, which only works with .NET 2.0? Just saying... ;) It will be soon enough. I do not know anyone who still uses Win95/98 or even Me. Yet I still have some install disks for those OSes. They are past their usefulness. Soon, XP will also be in a similar situation....

crashfly

Those legacy applications need to be burned and/or destroyed. In addition to 1.1 not being compatible with Win7, .net 1.1 is outdated and very useless. If there is seriously a program written sloppily enough to require version 1.1 *only*, then you need to find a better program. Out with the old, in ...

And afaik 7zip CANNOT MAKE wim files... To backup Kelsenellenelvian's assertion, this following quote is straight from the front page of http://www.7-zip.org : Supported formats: * Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR * Unpacking only : ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZM...

According to that site that will also only run under 7 (and possibly Vista). So I take it there's no real way of slimming down a 7 image from an XP host? :rolleyes: The reasons for this is that XP does *not* have native support for WIM images. I think Vista does, so anything Vista and above should ...

crashfly

The best you are probably going to get for updating and removing stuff is the Windows 7 Toolkit.

marzsyndrome wrote:Should I be worried at all?

That would probably depend on what the file is being used for. If the program was written to use a "specific" file version, you might have issues. But in general, most of your common dlls are written with backwards compatibility.

Yep, it would seem all of the suggestions I would give have been tried already (except the different machine one). But hey, new equipment is fun. :wink: Edit: I did forget to mention though, you might have a power supply starting to go bad and it just happened to be the line that had your optical dr...

It would seem I do not thank you enough for your great work Kelsenellenelvian. Much thanks goes to you.

crashfly

Thanks a lot. Will keep the tip in mind. Edit : Another small question. If I remove any component in the component remove section of nlite and I realise later that I may need it after installing Windows is it possible to install them using the Original CD within which it is present ? Also I presume...

Slightly off topic but related to Kelsenellenelvian's post. (I can post in a separate topic if the mods think it is necessary.)

I have not been able to test it extensively, but I have also tried using W7toolkit and some of the other Windows 7 update programs over at wincert. Seems complicated to get the settings right the first time, but once in place, things seem to work.

I would agree with newsposter on this one. Virtual machines would provide the "easiest" way to work with another operating system. The reason for the 'oldest' to 'newest' policy is that each OS has to make modifications to the boot process (be it a modified MBR {windows} or actual boot loading progr...

All I can say is WOW. Talk about someone who has taken a *lot* of free time to make that happen. I never thought I would see the day someone could bake in the latest .Net framework into XP. I am truly impressed.

As an added opinion, it would also depend on what graphics card you are installing it for. If you are just going for a single card that does not have the PhysX chip on it, you may be able to drop that part of the package. Hell, I am not even sure what the "3D Vision installer" package is supposed to...

All you have to do is put it in the correct location ("I386\SVCPACK") and then make an entry for it in your 'svcpack.inf' file.

Therefore there would be no need for an addon. You can do this yourself very easily.

I do not think limiting this site will help any with pirating. The reasoning behind it is simple. Once one person downloads anything, it will technically be "out in the open". That one person can take and redistribute elsewhere. A good idea is to refuse to help those who mention the use of pirated s...
