Just Say No, Part 2: RIM PlayBook in Massive Fire Sale
by Guest Paul Thurrott- 0 replies
- 36 views
By: Paul Thurrott Beleaguered Blackberry maker RIM is offering each of its poorly-selling PlayBook tablets for a fire sale price of just $299 via its online store today. And while that may seem like quite a deal, especially for the 64 GB unit, my advice today is the same as it was when HP’s doomed TouchPad was offered for just $99 back in August: Practice restraint.

Permanently remove games in Windows 7
by Guest hbdr- 0 replies
- 115 views
I've been trying to find a way to permanently uninstall and remove the built-in Games (Solitaire, Mahjong, etc.) in Windows 7 (Ultimate, etc.). I've turned the features off and tried to remove relevant/related entries in the registry and deleted corresponding files from Program Files directories, etc., but no matter what I do, the built-in games always return as an option for install under "Turn Windows features on or off". How can I completely and permanently remove Games so that no user (administrative class or other) can reinstall them? Thanks. Continue reading...

Group Policy Preferences Not Applying
by Guest BSU Help Desk- 0 replies
- 105 views
I am having a problem getting Windows Group Policy Peferences to apply to machines immediately after they are imaged. We are using Group Policy Preferences to, among other things, set a customized power plan as the default plan. Upon logging into a machine after it has been imaged, I can see our customized power plan, but it is not selected as the default plan. RSOP shows that the policy that contains the preferences is being applied. Group Policy settings that reside in the same GPO as the Preferences have also been applied correctly. Only the Prefences are not applying. We are using an image task sequence in SCCM to deploy the image. The image is of Win 7 SP1 64b…

IPMI driver not working under Windows 7 x64
by Guest Darren Whobrey- 0 replies
- 211 views
Device manager has an entry for the MS generic IPMI compliant device: Driver Date: 21/06/2006, Driver Version: 6.1.7601.17514, Resources reports an I/O range and no conflicts. Although the general tab device status says: "No drivers are installed for this device." Running some test vbs scripts via WMI and WinRM show neither the IPMI provider or the Microsoft_IPMI driver are installed. There is no root/hardware namespace entry when enumerating namespaces, nor when searching registry. BMC is working via LAN access, and reports KCS interface is functioning. Reinstalling / updating IPMI driver always results in same driver being installed (as above). This article (http:…

Greetings I am attempting to deal with error number Error 1719 as described (by me) in this post in Windows 7 Forum : http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/9eeb1134-da7e-4da5-b087-5e53a1c1dbed?prof=required The moderator there suggested that I post further here. Since then I have: 1. Done a repair install of W7 and retried Office install - at that point error 1719 turned into error 1935. 2. Disabled Windows Firewall and disabled MS Essenstials security and retried - at that point error 1935 turned into Error 2908. Some posts suggest this may be the result of previous office versions (none on this machine) or left over office files from …
