  1. most suggestions i've read say to look in a couple areas.

     

    when i look under  \Resources\Themes  it isnt there.

    when i look under  %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes  it lists one "oem" theme but it is only 2kb in size, so that cant be it.

     

    it also has a custom background image when you log-on/log-off and i'd like to save that as well

     

     

     

  2. I've never used it before so i'm not sure if this is normal behavior.

     

    basically I ran win toolkit as I normally do. ran the a-i-o integrator, added some updates etc.

      after I finished with that I decided to try the WIM manager.  I selected what I presume I had been working on (the green highlighted one). I noticed the image size was 11.33 gb! :huh:

     that was kind of strange/shocking b/c i'm used to the .iso being somewhere around 6-8gb.  since It was my first attempt at using WIM manager, I selected rebuild image.  after that, the image size stayed the same as above.  I elected to export image anyway, and low and behold when I checked it, the file size was only 2.61gb!

     

    first question: is this normally what happens? i'm not sure why it inflated to 11+gb. or why/how it shrunk down to 3/4th the original size.

     

    second: is there a recommended step by step procedure to follow? i'm just doing all this 'blind' and not sure if there is a recommended order or steps to get to where I am (exporting a .wim image)

     

     

     

     

  3. i'm getting this error message today "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/wincert/public_html/forum/admin/applications/members/sources/classes/messaging/messengerFunctions.php on line 3222"

    edit: seems to have corrected itself. the error happened when I tried to check my message inbox, but everything is working properly now.

  4. i think if you don't intend to travel with your backup, then 2.5 will not be very useful for you. if you just plan on sticking it somewhere in your house, i'd take the approach as above and get a big one like the seagate. if you decide on a desktop hd instead of a portable one, you have a lot more options. some with wireless capability, like this one for example http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/goflex-home/ but i'm sure western digital and most other brands have their own versions as well. or you could go NAS, ESATA or even thunderbolt.

  5. edit:

     

    i watched it carefully last night. i think my first description was not quite accurate. i can't say for certain, since it was a couple weeks ago,  but this time it fell asleep after it was finished.  so i've changed the wording in my topic.
     

     

  6. halogens get hot. very hot. but they are bright light led but have much shorter lifespan.

    leds supposedly last like 50 years but yeah they're very expensive. where i live we switched to cfl bulbs. they dont give off clear/pure light like halogen or led but they also dont get as hot like halogen, and are pretty cheap. i think any technology you choose has pros and cons, and you basically pick something you're willing to live with.

    i've seen a few halogen hybrids http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/ge-introduces-hybrid-bulb-with-both-halogen-and-cfl-elements/ have never used any.

  7. Microsoft only offers you the critical security updates that will protect you from hackers, McRip/komm/SoLoR updates are ALL updates since SP1 which are (hot)fixes that are going to be added to SP2

    So if you only want to be protected use what Microsoft is offering, if dont want to wait for SP2 to have all the fixes then use the update pack

    there will be a sp2? any idea when that might be out?

    edit: after looking around it appears that it wont be any time soon. maybe not until sometime in 2013

  8. kb976932 IS SP1, for installation on a live system running Win 7 RTM, not for use in Win Toolkit on an SP1 WIM image.

    Cheers and Regards

    thanks i figured thats what it was, but really confused me b/c the link was to "post sp1 updates" so that really threw me.. could not figure out why that would be there if the assumption was w7+ sp1 source was already being used :dizzy:

  9. You don't have to integrate the 480+ updates from McRip, instead use Windows Updates Downloader with these updates list.

    The only things not included in these updates lists are Windows update update (3 cabs that can be found on McRip repository) and lang pack for IE9.

    With that you will have an up to date Windows 7 x86/X64

    thanks for the list. curious about something though. do i need to download .net framework 3.5.1 updates (5) if i am also going to download .net 4.5 under optional updates?

    oh and something else, the link goes to "post sp1 updates" but when i am looking at the available updates in the windows updates downloader there is one listed as "service packs (1)" windows servie pack 1 kb976932

    not sure what that is for
