Okay, IE9 was unexpectedly installed on my desktop this week and I'm trying to see how to get the same productivity I had with IE8. I see a lot of questions asking how to change the default search provider but I don't see any at all about the loss of function that I see as the most important advance made a couple of versions ago: to rerun a search using a different provider. I do that quite freqently -- I search for something on the web, read a few entries then switch the provider to Amazon or eBay (or both in succession) to get an idea of prices. Or, I just want to see if I can get better results with a different provider. I can't figure out how to do that now; the …

Is there a way of performing an unattended join using the serial number of the computer as the computer name? i have used MySysprep2 for years but i would like to not have to use a third party tool to do this. it would also be nice if (like in XP) i could have it prompt for a computer name, but have it auto-populate with the serial number of the machine, this would allow our techs to edit the name if needed. Yeah Buddy! Continue reading...

by Guest Jay.lambert- 0 replies
- 55 views
Hi, i have a problem with a syspreped windows 7 image where it will not install the keyboard (or mouse) driver if they are inserted after the computer has booted into mini-setup. keep in mind that if the keyboard is plugged in before mini-setup runs then it works fine (this is not a solution for my situation though). here is a more detailed explination. If the USB keyboard is not present during the original Plug and Play detection process, when a computer boots into mini-Setup after Sysprep is used, the USB keyboard is not correctly set up and will not function. Yeah Buddy! Continue reading...
