Today I had the Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server issue again with a different computer. Sure enough, I logged onto the DNS server and there were two A records with different computer names but the same IP address. I guess this might be related, given my previous experience listed in the post above, so I deleted the record with the matching IP address. Hopefully that fixes it. I’ll update this post or add a new one if the problem comes back.

I should probably say that the above suggestions assume that you can’t boot at all, rather than the operating system being booted into then failing to start. An error you might get after updating the BIOS might say something along the lines of:

Unable to find operating system on this disk.

If your computer starts to boot into Windows then fails, that’s probably a different probably.

An Explanation Of The 255 Character Limit

I thought I might do a follow up post explaining XCOPY’s 255 character limit that results in the Insufficient memory error. The following file path has 24 characters:

C:\Folder\Files\File.txt

This is because “C:\” has 3 characters:

C : \
1 2 3

“Folder\” has 7 characters:

F o l d e r \
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

etc…

An example of a directory that’s over 255 characters that would trigger XCOPY to report that there’s insufficent memory is:

C:\Temp\SharedFolders\Sub_Folders\MyFilesAndFolders\FoldersBeginningWithR\RecentFoldersAndFiles\Folder1\Images\Photos\SharedPhotos\PersonalPhotos\Memories_PicturesToKeep_NotTemporary\BackupFiles\PhotosToKeep\PhotosOfMyDog\Rover\2022\February\Tuesday\Rover.jpg

The above file path has 259 characters and therefore cannot be copied with XCOPY and will return an Insufficient memory error.

Is this some c# code you’re writing or something?

I’m not much of a programmer, but maybe you could look up compiler options for Amd64 architecture, or see if there’s a 64bit object you can create and use? Or perhaps you can call the ise and run it through that?

I’d love to know what you are trying to achieve 😀

I’ve tested option one, and it seems to show a different user interface when you launch the installer this way. It removes the option to enter a user name, which I think looks promising.

UPDATE: After the install completed with the /ALLUSERS=1 parameter, it hadn’t finished installing Office. Instead, it seems to have created an install at the location I specified. I then ran setup.exe from this location. Hopefully this will work.

I see that others on the internet managed to stop their GeForce Experience software from getting stuck installing updates by running it as Administrator, but I managed to fix mine by restarting the computer. I say fix, actually the driver still doesn’t work. Seems like even updating it manually by downloading the driver from the internet doesn’t work. 🙁

I thought I’d be helpful and install the driver in the link I gave. After installing, my network card wasn’t updated, so I went to update it and set it to search my hard drive for an update (prior to installing from the CD there was no driver available), after installing the driver and searching the C: drive, it found a new driver and updated my Network Adapter, so I’d say that link to the driver software is probably the right one.

Thought I’d just do an update to my review of Trend Micro’s Web Reputation software.

Basically, after using it for a year and a half, I can quite comfortably say that it’s terrible. It would be adequate for some uses as my former review stated, were it not for the fact that half the time the URL whitelisting system doesn’t work.

I highly DON’T recommend it.
