I had an issue with that same update except the .NET Framework SP1 wouldn't install. I had to hide that in the Windows Update screen so I wouldn't see it EVERY time I booted or shut down. Now my Realtek audio is messed up. The driver won't install upon boot-up. I have to uninstall the device...

I just found a more recent Sigma Tel HD Audio driver than the previously installed 2005 version that all of my driver update software (Windows Update included) could not. It seems to be working after an extensive initial testing phase. Chalk one up to Man over Machine...at least for the moment...

Thanks for all the help. I'll get there in time. Maybe I'll even learn a few things along the way... Windows 7 driver will become the norm and then these quirks will be history. Of that I have no doubt. BTW, I ran the W7 Upgrade Advisor before I even attempted the migration. It only showed...

I just did a "clean install" after using the Easy Transfer Wizard to migrate my documents and other files to an external HD. I then systematically loaded the programs back in. I think my problems may stem from either my sound card or my TV card. My SigmaTel High Def Audio doesn't have the most...

I must say that I'm not too impressed with MS in the arrival of Windows 7. I'm hoping that the sorely needed Service Pack(s) will address some of the crashing and conflicts I'm getting with some of my most-used programs and games. However, I'm not optimistic. I have a 32-bit PC, converted from...

I've got the 32-bit version also and can't run Titan Quest and it's expansion Immortal Throne, even in compatibility mode. Even a low system requirement game like Torchlight does not run without difficulty. It's got to be something in the OS. I really hope that they provide support to older...

I did a clean install of the 32-bit Windows 7 and am getting crashes on: Titan Quest (freezes within minutes) Torchlight (usually after 20 minutes or so, the graphics fail or stutter) The latter one is disconcerting because the system requirements are so low. I ran the System Requirements Lab...
