I ahve two things happening with my IE9 that I'd like to solve. the first is that at some time in the past I apparently entered "javaw" at the search page and rather frequnetly get a notice that Windows cnnot find such. It suggests that I check the spelling and try again. The error is clear, but...

What Kind of Video card? It looks like there may have been a sufficiency of answers, but for the record I've got an Nvidia 8600GTS which works perfectly. They have posted update drivers sseveral times with the last being today. The listed date is 6/18/09 and the driver # is 186.18 WHQL. I just...

My installation question Thanks to all of you for the replys. I guess I resign my self to the clean method and just hope that nothing gets lost this time

Hi; Can anyone tell me what the installation for RTM over RC? In other words will it be directly over RC or will it have to go through the same bothersome process that was needed for RC over Beta --- or will it be directly over what we've already got as was the case with the Beta installation...

Video Card Hi Rukario, I've got an 8600GTS that works perfectly. There was an auto update twice since I got W7, and a visit to the Nvidia site confirms that the latest is the one that is active. I guess you've tried the Nvidia site for drivers, and I'm pretty sure that the 8800 series uses the...

Audio card problems Hi, This will probably seem a bit on the simplistic side, but I can say that I installed a Creative Titanium while I had the beta installed and it is thoroughly excellent. It can handle up to 7.1 audio, though I"m using 5.1 with the optional port in use for the audio form a...

Installation Requirements Hi, I have two questions. The first is; how will the RTM (final to public) edition have to be installed. Can it be installed over the RC as the beta was over Vista, or will it have to be more a repeat of the horrible situation with RC over Beta? I say horrible because...

Thanks for your reply Thanks for your reply. Now all I have to do is try to figure out how one is supposed to use the Transfer for the two user accounts. As to the strange behavior of IE8, I have Norton 360 v.3 so I think any malware should be taken care of. Maybe the new version will be...

How to keep different users separate Hi, This isn't rreally on the same topic as the preceeding one, but I'm so new at this that I don't really know how to go about actually starting a new thread. Hopefully this might be a help to at least some others. Thanks. I think that I have a basic...

How big will it be? Its probably in here somewhere, but how big - in GB - is this upcoming ISO likely to be? The Beta fit on one DVD, so can I assume that this one will too? I haven't been able to find any recordable blu-Ray discs, and yes, my drive can record on them, or at least so it says...

Consideration on the upgrades. Thanks to each of you for your thoughts. I'll be sure to give them careful consideration before the RC1 comes out. One more thing, would any of you have any ideas about how to reactivate volume adjustments from the IR remote. When I watch any video from the Net...

Audio control function Hi, i know that this is not directly in answer to your question, but I think there is a tangential similarity. though I am still using beta. What's happened with me is that resulting from I know not what, my IR remote stopped adjusting system volume. Oddly, it is most...

This is to say thanks to both Radenight and oneextraraid for the advice on making the copies before updates. As it happens I loaded a full system image to an external WD Hard Drive, which turned out to be just a bit less than 60GB. I guess I could always format that and start over with a fresh...

hi, Thanks for the reply, and it sounds like htat would be good for Outlook, but what about everything else? I'm really not trying to be obstinate ro anything like that.

Update Process Hi, I read in a Z Net submission yesterday that it will be necessary do co CLEAN installs for RC. Does anyone know if this is correct? That would be something that is new to me, and which I have never even considered. The whole idea of trying a clean upgrade is quite awesome and...
