    Windows 8 Flaw in Windows 8 Causing Slow Web Browsing on Chrome, Firefox, IE?

    A couple of weeks ago I installed Windows 8 (fresh install from scratch, not an update) on my computer. I do a lot of web browsing and over the last couple of weeks I've been using Windows 8, I could swear the web browsing wasn't as fast at it used to be on Windows 7. I then noticed I was...

    Windows 7 RC build random freezes on Dell E4300

    e4300 lock up on RTM I now have the same problem on my Latitude e4300 on the RTM version even after clean install. I have all the latest drivers installed. I ran a thorough diagnostic scan with Dell support over the phone. They think it is corrupt software. Pretty generic. Could it be IE?

    Windows 7 Cannot copy files required for installation error

    I just took the same dvd that was erroring out on the upgrade and successfully created a new install of windows 7 on virtual box VM. Unless a specific sector on the dvd specific to a driver for my vista machine is corrupted, my problem is not disk. It could be disk drive however. Memory tests...

    Windows 7 RC build random freezes on Dell E4300

I had this happen to me in Beta when I put the laptop to sleep and after awoke it running on battery...

    Windows 7 Communicator 2007 R2 issues

    I've installed OCS 2007 Communicator R2. When I join a multi-party audio conference, my dual core laptop has 50% of both cores utilized at all times. If I launch a web browser or open an email, the cores go to 100%. I get complete jitter. OCS tries to catch up the audio but many times it falls...

    Windows 7 bluetooth problem

    Kyle, Am I right-clicking on the driver download file? The EXE? The program won't install and the laptop doesn't recognize the bluetooth radio hardware at all. Thanks. It was painfully long process, but I finally have it working. I installed Vista with all the drivers. I then upgraded to...

    Windows 7 bluetooth problem

    same issue with bluetooth I'm having the same issue with my dell latitude e4300. It rejects the vista software/driver install as not being a compatible OS. This is working on my Dell Latitude D820 however. I wonder how I can get past this.

    Windows 7 Dual Boot: Which OS First?

    I'm starting from a clean slate. I'm leaning toward creating a small partition and installing Vista first. I will use the majority of the disk space for Windows 7.

    Windows 7 Dual Boot: Which OS First?

    I have a new hard drive for my laptop so i have the opportunity to dual boot Vista and Win 7. I want to use Win 7 as my primary use OS and Vista for all the applications that don't run on Win7. The question is which OS do I load first? I'm inclined to install the old OS first. Thanks.

    Windows 7 Cannot copy files required for installation error

    I've done enough installs to be skeptical of install errors stating that the install cannot copy files. Mouthful? I'm doing an upgrade from Vista SP1. After about 5 minutes, I receive an error message with error code 0x80070017. Message stated files may be corrupt or missing. Before I redownload...
