Thanks, I was particularly confused in this matter and just needed some clarification. If only I found out about this earlier, I would have saved an hour's worth of time!

I think you're having some stuck process that won't exit. Go to control panel > performance ... > advanced in the sidebar > and generate a report. I believe theres a section that tells you the reason for a slow or improper shut down.

Seeing that your mobo is P5K, its not too old. I have a Gigabyte P35 DS3R and yours is probably just one level below mine. Anyway, I didn't have to insert any driver CDs at all. Windows 7 supported everything and updated the necessary drivers through Windows Update. Why did you have to insert...

Hate to see you ditch it too. Did you run Windows Update?

Say when you installed XP, it was on a C drive. So if you change the drive letter to E or F, won't that mess up the system since all the file directories are set to look in C: ?

Most likely a codec issue. Check out this page for more information about codec packs: Link Removed - Invalid URL Or you can just grab the codec pack download straight from this link: |MG| Win7codecs 1.0 Beta It's from shark007, the same guy that made the Vista codec pack so you don't have to...

Did you try troubleshooting it? Did you have a custom IP configuration on XP like a static IP?

have you guys tried getting a system rating or getting WEI to find a score for your computer. I know this makes almost no sense but when I first installed Windows 7, I was under Aero Basic and the OS was incredibly choppy until I ran it =S Maybe it'll detect the other pieces of RAM Also give...

That's actually the lowest score out of all the scores you get for different areas of your PC from processor to graphics. Click on the rating to show more info about it

This is what I've unofficially heard from my sources: There will only be one beta so: RC in April (only one as well) and RTM in June

What's the point of those glass outlines when you use aero peek anyway?

The taskbar has been enlarged but I find the icons almost as easily identifiable when in small view, but large view definitely makes me feel more productive. The new taskbar is great. You can hold a lot more windows and apps, show desktop is in a location where you can't miss, there's Aero Peek...

I keep all my files in a Setup folder so whenever I install a new OS, I just install everything in that browser. Contains rips from CDs and a few exes. For most open-source apps or free apps, I just visit their websites though because they are constantly being updated that by the time I format...

I don't like it. Why don't we get a progress bar going so we know how long we have to wait? Also, a couple of people have been talking about a bug where when they boot up, all they see are a line of pixels at the top of the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ya, you won't be seeing anything WinFS in Windows 7 unfortunately
