Wifi not working after sysprep - Win 7 Enterprise
by Guest Renato Mondio- 0 replies

Hello to everybody. I have a annoying problem with deployment of win 7. My regional office is currently deploying win 7 on every machine. We use an image that comes from NYC office that I've installed without any problem both on laptop and desktop. But I need to customize it adding more softwares so I've added sw and then resealed the wim. If I deploy the final image to desktop I have no problem at all but when i deploy it on laptops (Lenovo X200S and X61s) the wifi stops working. I've found no solution to this problem. Removing Installing or updating the driver don't solve the problem. The wifi hw is detected but simply doesn't work. Troubleshooting says that there is…

Asus Eeepc 1201AH restore win 7
by Guest Esimene- 0 replies
- 199 views
Hello. I got very curious about the windows 8 dev preview and thought about testing it out on my Asus Eeepc. But It was a very bad decision, drivers arent compatible (resolution is messed up) and I can't use asus specific thing on it. As my Eeepc doesn't have a CD drive and obviously no win CD came with it, is it still possilble to restore win 7? I've heard that Asus and other laptops have restore partitions and things like that. I do have windows.old folder if that helps. I know, I messed up pretty bad : / If there is no restore option, then I probably should use USB to just intall win 7 on it again, right?

IE 8 or previous IE versions download file dialog box issue
by Guest G.D.G- 0 replies
- 108 views
Hi, On IE 8 in our app if i clicked Open button on file download dialog box to open the file which is not having association with any program then IE itself tries to open that file in the same window of the browser. IE 9 provides us new dialog box saying "Windows can't open this file" and ask us to choose a program to open the file. This same issue we observed on IE 6 as well. We are using Windows 7 machine. So please let me know how can i make it work on IE 8 to behave like IE 9. I am not sure if this is an IE issue or windows OS issue? Thanks a lot G.D.G. Continue reading...

Win 7 Enterprise Key error and downgrade to Win 7 Pro
by Guest vasinvictoroit- 0 replies
- 185 views
Upon leaving my last employer I was given my laptop running Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit as part of a severance package. Around six months later, I am now receiving Key Activation errors. I suspect this is caused by Enterprise windows not able to find its original server. I have a couple of questions. 1 - Can I get my current copy of Windows to behave like a home version or re-activate the license? 2 - If I need to downgrade to a lower, home version will I lose all data and installs from the new installation? Many thanks for your assistance. I am not an IT person so kindly answer using non-tech language. Thanks again. V. Continue reading...
