Doing a file transfer across my network, PC to PC both in Vista Home Premium 32.
The first 20-30 minutes of the file transfer was accurately timed, and then al of a sudden!

And literally 2 minutes later.

So..
Anyone else have crazy Microsoft time like that ever? :)
Hey, zallison,
It would be quicker to retype it :D
I haven't seen it in XP Pro or 2000 Pro but there were some similar things back in the days of ME.............. I had one machine that even showed a negative swapfile bigger than the HDD!
Nice one! :D
rofl!
Negative swapfiles! Would that be the tech equivilant of a bag of holding?
Also, on the note of Microsoft time..
I was simultaneously installing Win Vista Home Premium and WinXP Home on 2 different machines today. The Vista machine (I'm currently online with) installed in 20 minutes, and had 10 minutes to download the updates from windowsupdate...
XP Machine is still downloading updates an hour later.
Ah!
Please check out the MS update site. Look at the bit about remote updating for administrators or over a network. There is usually a cumulative patch that contains most of them ;)
You might even try using nLite to create a slipstreamed installation disk with the patches included.

for Vista you need vLite:

zallison - Dont u use something like auto patcher? Is there an auto patcher version for XP?
Hey Cider,
Have you just come out of hibernation? It is some time since AutoPatcher got one of "those letters" from Microsoft's lawyers :D.............. "cease and desist"
EDIT: Having had a think and another look I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that the first one didn't seem to have identified the precise path? As the second screen obviously had?
Hey Nihil :P
Here in South Africa we dont have the privilege of Technology advances. I must read more on the net. Thank you for the constructive criticism. :)
When did you trade in your d20 for a mouse and keyboard. :)Quote:

Muhahahahahahahahahah :lildevil:
I have vlite for my vista install, I was actually thinking of making a slipstreamed image later on this week when I had more free time.
The Xp home install however was a pain, the customer that needed it done didn't explain that it was a upgrade disc, so I had to dig through the dusty box of software they gave me with it for the winME disc that they had.
That annoyed me, and because of the "upgrade" key they had, I didn't want to dig one of my XP home discs out for the install, wasn't sure if an upgrade key would work with a retail disc.
The first one doesn't show exact path, if you look close you'll notice I hadn't clicked more details.
I looked at the details to find out what was going on with the net traffic, lol, but it was going 8-9mb a sec. who knows :)
every vista machine ive worked on ive seen thatQuote:
