He just likes to confuse people..

Welcome skorch41 to WinCert. Hope you'll get and share a lot of useful information here :welcome6ld:

Check this mate, don't understand a word, but link is there http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/momo_poem/651583.html

Here's the .reg file that will give you the SHIFT + Right Click = Gain Ownership context menu Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas] @="Gain Ownership" "Extended"="" "NoWorkingDirectory"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command] @="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F" "IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas] @="Gain Ownership" "Extended"="" "NoWorkingDirectory"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command] @="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t" "IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t" ownership.reg

Remember this Cyg?

Now, that's a nice set of wallpapers. Thx mate.. :thumb_yello:

I like them, but I like original icons even more, I hope you made a backup ... But let other guys decide..

Welcome mate, enjoy your stay here

You have to select HTML On in the post options:

Mate, I'm using Firefox now and I still don't see the side panel. When you'll reply to this post, notice that you don't have smilies on the left side of this typing window..

Aaaah, this one surely bring back childhood memories..

I just visited your site mate, and you have the exact same problems with the skin as I do

Maybe CD drivers are outdated, have you tried with manufacturer's web site?

Can you post a link to your site? Did you upgrade the IPB forum, and after that reinstalled the skin, or?

Can you aquire those drivers they're using. I doubt but maybe it could be related with the Vista version.

Here are two sfx files. One will take ownership of the original file and made a copy of that file. Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim File1 For Each File1 in Wscript.Arguments Act.Run("takeown /A /f " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34)),1,True Act.Run("icacls " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34) & " /grant administrators:F"),1,True Next OwnTheFile_V2.exe Second will only take ownership of the original file. Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim File, File1, File2 For Each File1 in Wscript.Arguments Act.Run("takeown /A /f " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34)),0,True Act.Run("icacls " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34) & " /grant administrators:F"),0,True File2 = Split(File1,".") Set File = Fso.GetFile(File1) File.Copy(File2(0) & "_Original." & File2(1)) Next OwnTheFile_V3.exe You can use it by clicking right clicking on the desired file and choosing the option "send to" --> "own the file".

Those cards that you've solved to your customers, are those the same model, if yes, which drivers do they use? I will browse the net and try to find a solution for your issue. TBH, I didn't have better luck either when I installed Vista on my home PC. First I run into trouble with my 3Com Network Card drivers, which is BTW integrated on my Asus P4C800 Deluxe MBO. I had to install XP drivers but not through setup, I had to extract them somewhere and then "fool" the setup in that way. Now, when I had access to the Web, Sound Card drivers were next. I have Creative Labs Live 24bit sound card and Creative has released the drivers for Vista, but whenever I try to install those drivers I get an error that card can't be found in the system. :wacko: So I had to install some third party-tweaked drivers from kXProject. Next step was a HP 1018 LaserJet printer driver. I went to HP site and got message that they don't support Vista yet, so I've installed XP drivers. I got bunch of error messages during installation like "subsystem error" etc, and after that I got a baloon message stating that drivers were successfully installed Anyway, printer is doin' it's job like it should with XP drivers. Next stop is a graphic driver for NVidia 6600GT graphich card. We all know how NVidia is playing with it's cosumers by delaying the release of adequate drivers for Vista. At first point I've downloaded graphic card drivers directly from Microsoft Web Site, and those drivers gave me 4.6 Windows Experience Index base score. After that I've installed newly released Vista drivers from NVidia and got 4.0 score. Now, I'm asking you, who's crazy here ??? Let's continue with AsusCom ISDN network card which is using XP drivers since there's no Vista ones.. Finally, I couldn't anywhere find drivers for my MSI Starcam Web Camera. I really don't know what to do with this issue.. Well this concludes my Vista frustration, at least for the drivers that is

Hi Ernest, welcome to WinCert, I'm glad you decided to join us. Any news about I-Tab fix for IPB 2.2.2

Totally agree with you

I've noticed that VBS script works on the files directly in system32 directory Eg: sysdm.cpl, syssteup.dll but it didn't work for program files directory or files Eg: iexplore.exe or Sidebar.exe Here's the code for a new script that is working for sure (save it with .vbs extension). Just drag and drop the original file on the script and it'll modify permissions for the original file and make another copy of the same file in the source directory (backup).. Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim File1, File2 For Each File1 in Wscript.Arguments Act.Run("takeown /A /f " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34)),1,True Act.Run("icacls " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34) & " /grant administrators:F"),1,True File2 = Split(File1,".") Set File = Fso.GetFile(File1) File.Copy(File2(0) & "_Original." & File2(1)) Next or download this file: takeown.vbs

These Icons looks nice, I'll take 'em

Can you provide more information. Did you get a right click option to take file ownership or not at all. Or this script won't take ownership of the file..

Licensing is probably the most frustrating and depressing thing to confront. Not only are the license structures complicated, but it is expensive! Sifting through all the legalese written in the End User License Agreements that would even make a lawyer scratch their head is an overwhelming task. Today a software audit is more feared than a tax audit with horrendous penalties if you get caught. Getting on the straight and narrow in licensing might be one of the most important things you can do and hopefully this guide can help. What is a software license? A software license is given to you from a software company that gives you permission to use a specific software package and usually comes with many restrictions. The typical restrictions limit you to use only one copy of the software per license and prohibit you to distribute or copy the license in any way. Licenses for enterprise-class server software (such as SQL Server and Exchange Server) also require a Client Access License (CAL) as well for each user that is to access the server software. To keep things simple, assume that you need one license for each instance of software. This also applies to software and computers in the home. Clue: If you have 10 machines running Microsoft Office 2000, to be adequately licensed, you need 10 Microsoft Office 2000 Licenses. Purchasing Licenses If you find yourself short on licenses or looking to expand, there are several ways to get more licenses. OEM Licenses An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is the cheapest to obtain, but you can only get them with the purchase of a computer. When you buy a computer from a System Builder (such as Dell, Compaq, Gateway, etc) you are already paying for the operating system (such as Windows XP). By paying a little extra you can have it shipped with a copy of Microsoft Office 2003 as well. These are called OEM Licenses and of course they come with restrictions. An OEM license only allows you to use the software on the specific computer it came with. In other words, when that computer is old and slow and it is time to throw it away, that license must legally be thrown away as well. That is the bad news, but the good news is that keeping track of all your licenses (at least for your desktops) is really easy and the OEM is usually responsible for technical support on the software that you bought. Despite the ease of management, an OEM license is designed to be disposable and is not an investment. Not only that, but as you acquire new computers your network will end up being scattered with varying versions of Windows and Microsoft Office. This is typically not good for large offices trying to keep a consistent environment. Let's look at the next option. Retail Licenses With retail licenses you own the license and software no matter what happens to the machine it is installed on. But you pay much more than you would if you bought OEM, sometimes twice as much! Technical support is limited to a month after purchase. Retail software is usually bought at places like Staples, OfficeDepot, and Best Buy. The license protection built into retail software is a nightmare; not only do you have to enter a key code, but you must also connect to Microsoft over the Internet or call them and get a special unlock code. The software also keeps track of your system to ensure that it has not been moved to a different machine. If the software believes that it has been moved in some way, you must once again call Microsoft and obtain a new unlock code. Microsoft keeps track of the use of key codes and the unlock codes they give you. If they feel that you are abusing the License Agreement they may refuse to give you an unlock code. They could also request to audit your software. Being reported for illegal software licensing practices is especially easy. www.microsoft.com/piracy is the reporting page that Microsoft has set up. Clue: Just by making hardware changes to your PC such as RAM or a new Hard Drive the software might require to be re-activated. So with Retail, you get to keep the software, but are faced with a management headache trying to keep track of the number of licenses and which computer each license was installed on. You also have to make sure that you have not used the same keycode more than once so Microsoft does not start wondering what you are doing. This is an administrative nightmare and totally cost prohibitive. But on an up-note, you can purchase future additions in special upgrade packages. Upgrades are not available for the next type of license, Volume Licensing. Volume Licensing Lucky for us, Microsoft has three volume licensing programs available to help customers organize their licenses, stay up to date, and receive savings. These programs vary by features, services and requirements. The simplest is Open License intended for businesses with at least 5 PCs. Select License and Enterprise Agreement Plans are licensing programs intended for corporations with at least 250 PCs. Volume Licensing Programs vary with features and requirements such as free take-home licenses for employees, training programs, Software Assurance, employee software discounts, a single install key for each product, and extra install features - such as administrative installs. Each of these programs are described in detail in the Volume Licensing Article. The Microsoft Licensing Guide By Joshua Erdman Digital Foundation, inc.

Depends how many empty slots left you have on your MBO. Is it SDRAM or DDRAM, DualChannel or? Can you please tell me your MBO specification and I'll try to find more info on this.
