    Can't delete a file

    Just checking you tried to delete it with the quotes and space in command prompt and not in PowerShell? I vaguely recall I couldn't delete the invalid files in PowerShell for whatever reason. Can also try del /s on the \\?\ path.

    Can't delete a file

    Can try the \\?\ path syntax again but put it in quotes. Then try adding a space at the end of the filename, or maybe even a couple spaces. I've had invalid files with spaces at the end, and just like you, I could create new files with the same apparent name.

    The 360-Degree Selfie Camera Will Become the New Fad

    Been trying a 360 for a little while now and so far I'm finding it handy while traveling. Ironically, I use it with a selfie stick to avoid being in the pictures. Not the greatest quality, but better than nothing.

    What was the very first video card you ever bought?

    Oldest I can recall needing drivers for was an Orchid Fahrenheit. Or maybe just the oldest video accelerator. Might be wrong.

    Sony Posts $1.2 Billion Loss

    The Z3 Compact is really nice if you don't need a higher resolution screen. Sony was ahead of the curve with their RX100 camera line.

    Microsoft - Take Office 2013 Home for just $9.95 (Corporate or University email)

    Just an FYI... the Benefit Administrator can see the name, email address, product ordered, date, and city it was shipped to. Not that I've ever heard of anyone getting in trouble (or even caring), but your company/school/organization can easily determine non-legit orders if they really wanted to.

    Sysprep issue

    Yeah sorry about that, I didn't catch that factory/reseal. Like everyone said, reseal and mini is what we used. Sad that I can remember having to use /pss for a Windows 98 sysprep, but couldn't recall our XP sysprep parameters.

    Sysprep issue

    Been way too many years since we had this happen, can't recall why. Is it properly removing your Sysprep folder too? Perhaps it was something that caused Sysprep to error out before completing. Anything odd in the setup*.log files? Also, using the SP3 version of the Deployment Tools...

    ITT: Consoles you bought specifically for a game

    Bought a PS3 specifically for Rock Band. Kmart's 20% off coupon took some sting out of the price.

    Windows 7 Domain Offline logon

    Generally in these situations, is it possible to connect to a workplace via VPN before the login? Or if the logon ports aren't blocked by a firewall, is it possible to hardcode the IP addresses of the DC DNS lookups into the hosts file? Not recommended I'm sure, but just curious if that would...

    Valkyria Chronicles Go Get It

    Picked up a sealed copy of VC for $30, plus sealed GH:Aerosmith + wired 360 guitar for $10. Didn't think I'd enjoy VC a whole lot since I prefer standard JRPGs over strategy games like Advance Wars and Shining Force. But it's been fun through several chapters so far.

    Corsair Rebates? Debit Card=Stupid!

    I've been dinged with those holds too. Gave up trying to use them in person because it became too much of a pain to be denied and guessing how much I could actually use. Now I just buy Amazon GCs at $25 increments to squeeze it all out. Using the cards right away avoids the dormancy fees, and...

    quick question on upgrading ps3 hdd

    I can't remember why, but I wasn't able to squeeze mine to a 4GB drive. Might've just been that I didn't want to redownload my Rock Band DLC. Ended up using an iPod.

    Apple declares jailbreaking illegal

    It looks like it was the EFF that forced Apple to comment. Don't see what other choices Apple had in the matter. If nothing else, I would expect that the distribution of modified firmware, as some packages might have, would be questionable legally.

    Do people really have trouble finding games on launch day ?

    For me, Rock Band SE was worth pre-ordering from Gamestop. Didn't have to drive around looking for one and they had the 10% off coupon email, making it one of the cheaper B&Ms. Had to preorder due to all the chatter that there wasn't enough hardware available at launch.

    Well, it no longer appears to qualify for the free Far Cry 2. Maybe that helps lower vendors' costs from EVGA a smidge on the 260 and 280? Grasping at straws here :p

    Heavy Duty Windows Crash - worst I've seen, and now I need help :(

    If you have important files, consider a raw clone first to prevent further damage to them. As mentioned, you could try to slave it to pull files and then wipe clean. Or boot into a Vista or 2008 based Windows PE to try to copy the files off over the network or to another drive. Then use...
