Microsoft have certainly made the compatibility mode powerful in Windows 7! I could only get basic use from my Zen Xtra in Vista, using Real Media Player to play tracks from the Zen Xtra, but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly. Basically the driver for the Zen Xtra is incompatible with Windows 7...

Well I have Vista Home Premium running on an IBM M52 Intel P4 3GHZ CPU, low profile nVidia 6200 graphics card 1 gig DDR1 memory & using onboard sound chip, a wireless PCI adaptor that Vista warned me wasn't compaible (which works perfectly) and it runs very smoothly. It has never crashed, boots...

I have the C-Media AC97 onboard audio and it works perfectly. Using driver version 5.12.1.49. I also have Creative Audigy 4 Pro on this computer and even using the driver advised on this forum, it is crap! It works but produces distortion intermittently, the onboard sound doesn't have any...

Hi! Thanfully its not only me who finds the new media player lacking a few features! Its not just the equaliser thats missing, so are all the other audio enhancments like crossfade SRS WOW effects, all gone! I'm hoping its because we are still in beta! I personally prefer the look and features...

I guess you're right! Time for some new bits & pieces :-) I've now switched off the Creative card and switched over to the Realtek device, disabled the TV card & guess what... my new Microsoft web cam drivers are incompatible, so I disabled that too! I dare say that the final will be better than...

The Linux effect is done by Compiz Fusion, there is a similar 3rd party application that will do this in XP and Vista. No idea if it works in Windows 7 though! Link Removed - Invalid URL

I like the start menu! Type the first few letters of the prog you want and there it is, ready for you to click on! The new taskbar is a vast improvement too!

In my original post, I wasn't trying to compare 7 over XP, but trying to point out that the reason Vista wasn't readily accepted by the masses is partly because of incompatibility. I have Vista and XP installed, and now 7, Vista is on (a now I guess) elderly IBM M52, it runs flawlessly even...

I think IE8 is slow doing anything! Opening new tab, scrolling with mouse wheel, clicking on a link and closing, Firefox does not show the same lag as IE8

If you look carefully the flag is not static the four leaves of the flag make an effect of being wafted in a breeze. Anyhow, I think its pretty cool!

Its not any help but I didn't have a problem with IE8 on the same page, I am AOL member too! It worked ok for me! I installed Firefox too because I prefer it and the scroll works better in Firefox!

I feel that Windows was at its peak with XP. It is far superior to anything else Microsoft have produced, including Windows 7. OK so XP is not as pretty as Vista or 7 but for everything else it cant be beat. µsoft don't want to admit that by producing something so widely supported as XP, they...

I have used Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, 98, ME and 95. Lets face it Microsoft have an almost impossible task to replace XP! For me XP is so good, it runs all my software, all my hardware, no problems. Vista will use most of my hardware but not software. Windows 7 wont run properly...
