  1. You can only use the key once.. AFAIK as it will attempt to activate over the NET.

    Install media is not tied to a key, but you need to know which version the key is for so when installing you select correct version.

    So if the key is for, say. home premium you select that from install options.

    Once built you then input the key and it talks to mother, and authorizes the install.

    TechNet is a good option if you want to trial and test the operating systems MS offers.

    They do not expire so quite long and rigourous testing is possible.

    Technet is not too expensive, and a great solution if you want a test network of computers - and you can have servers too ;)

  2. I'm going to look into consolidating the RoF server with one (or both) IL2 servers.

    The system is more than capable of supporting them, and I believe it has a 1Gb connection now too.

    This will neccessitate rebuilding the server as a 2003 box, in order to use some of the 24Gb RAM that is available (the IL2 servers are running on XP with a 3.5Gb limit).

    I can only do this during the weekend and it will result in the IL2 servers being down for a while.

    All stats will be retained though :)

  3. Doesnt work for me mate, it depends what area of the world you are in for the DNS Servers to re-link. Guess us brits just have to wait :(....download should only take another 3 or 4 hours lol, im sure I can do something till then.

    "The server IP has been changed. Please clear DNS cache and try again."

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Or if someone were to give you the IP you can create a host entry in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    Format being:

    ip address [hostname/domain name]

    Must get my DCS updated.. forgot I had it..

  4. Check for a firmware upgrade for your DVD drive, most manufacturers have updates and utilities, these often resolve read issues with DVDs.

    Re: vista and uninstall/re-install.

    Installs are tracked in 2 places, registry and an installation tracking directory under c:\program files\common\

    There was a utility that will clear out this stuff but has been discontinued by MS, MSICUU2.exe, and you may be able to get a copy from the web - use at own risk!

    A regcleaner will fix the registry aspect, and I would recomend that course..

    A search of the hard drive for files containing the product name may reveal the installer DB location, moving any files found to a safe location may re-enable a re-install.

    You should NEVER manually remove a program, always use the uninstall utility to prevent these issues!

  5. Welcome back DT! Remember you when I was a knoob (which I still am) and the excellent Pedestal campaign. I was wondering if you went insane and had to be registred at nearby sanatorium after that.

    He was insane before the campaign, how do you think it could be so good otherwise?

  6. Well.. to have some of your input into MDS in general, and more specifically missions with objectives that can be used for flying nights and/or ad-hoc co-op type missions for 1 or more humans would be great.

    My time is also somewhat limited, I can do the system admin side of MDS but mission building is beyond me.

    I have to fix the gunstats bit, for some reason it doesn't track those correctly at the moment.

  7. Hey Glenn, good to see you around!

    I can't claim any for the honouring, Snacko did the banner and I just put in place what was requested ;)

    MDS.. I thought of you when I first stumbled across it, we have a dedicated MDS server too that you are more than welcome to play with.

    Could do with some of your input!

  8. It may not be as bad as it once was, but I found MSE to be the culprit for me. Specifically it was defender that was a pos and was pulling my system down. File operations in particular as well as browsing as it fought for io time....
