xp media center edition for dell
by David Mehler 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hello, I'm trying to repair a stubborn dell desktop that i swear is trying to spite me. It's running xp media center edition, which is my first question. Does anyone have a vanilla xp media center edition iso? I've got the key for it, on the side of the dell, but the owner has lost the original dell media. The box is getting a stop error 0xc2 a memory test came up good so i don't think it's bad ram. I'm thinking a very badly corrupted windows. It even stops when going in to safe mode, same error. It's running sata drives raided together i think it has a built in hardware raid controller so i'll need to visit dell's site for drivers, i was thinking a custom media center edition iso with the raid/disk controller drivers integrated, would detect the two drives and then i could run a repair. Thanks. Dave.

custom accessible backup media
by David Mehler 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

Hello, I've got a dell that i'm working on that is not booting windows xp properly. It's not under any kind of waranty and a memtest shows it's ram is good, yet even booting windows in safe mode is producing a blue screen stop message 0xc2 message. A reinstall seems the best option. I'm planning on downloading dell drivers for this machine and creating an unattended xp installation disk, my problem is one of backup. This box has two Sata hard disks in it, that i'm not sure how much has been backed up, so before i can reinstall i have to back them up. I'm wondering an accessible solution for this, but also one that i can expand with the necessary sata controller drivers, i'm assuming they're intel of some variety. Thanks. Dave.

stop 0xc2 message and accessible troubleshooting
by David Mehler 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hello, I've got an xp machine, it's a dell-something running media center edition of xp. It's getting a BSOD stop error 0x000c2 which googling revealed was a kernel or memory driver issue. The machine will not boot normally and surprisingly not boot in safe mode. I'm going to start pulling memory chips, see if one of them is the cause, then clean out it's insides. If i have to go deeper in this are there any accessible troubleshooting environments, like a windows PE with accessibility such as sound enabled? Thanks. Dave.

avast4 home edition, submitting sample and possible root kit
by David Mehler 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hello, My first question is is anyone using avast4 home edition on their workstations? I am and about ten minutes ago i got a pop up indicating a hidden rootkit was discovered by huristic means, i quarantined it and there was a checkbox to submit the sample. I kept it checked and hit ok. I didn't get any feedback indicating the sample had been sent or form to fill out for contact. Second question is how can i be sure this thing went in? It might be a false positive i'm not sure. My machine has been periodically slow on the internet for the past day or so, but that's infrequent and now that i'm thinking about it it might be either something or overreaction. Finally, what does everyone use for workstations for detecting rootkits? Thanks. Dave.

Is it still a license violation to use NLight and VLight in a corperate setting? I'd be interested in playing with it, but don't want to upset people when I do.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Anyone tried out the XP virtual machine for Windows 7 with JFW/We?
by Ryan Shugart 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Andrew: I've tried it with Window-eyes, and it works, but badly. It basically sets up an XP VM, and you RDP into that with a special client. The virtual synnthesizer doesn't work so speech is sluggish, and Window-eyes doesn't pass commands through properly either.

Hi, At work running Windows 7 X64. Looking at trying the compatibility pack for XP, which deploys an XP image on your Windows 7 box. Just wondering whether it supports the use of a screen reader (like JFW or WindowEyes)? Thanks.
