Thanks for the quick response Trouble. Perhaps I should have been bit more clearer in my post, what I have is a win 7 pro OEM disk and a separate disk which I had burned the SP1 iso onto. My thinking is like yours as to why do all that updating when all i should have to do it just run the SP1...

So I will be doing a new install of win7 pro x64 on my newly built rig. My questions should i go ahead and do the install and then install SP1 or install, get updates and wait until SP1 is pushed. I have a disk with the full SP1.

Trying to help a friend figure out why when she re-sizes her windows they don't stay. Seems like when you size a window and then close it it will open full size. All programs do this so it is baffling me. any thoughts on what to check?

Ok folks this one has got me stumped. Friend has relatively new install of live mail on win 7 home premium. It has a issue where when you click on the new to bring up the compose window the window will always open in full screen. Attempts to re size the window and closing it do not work. Now...

All you can do is back them up along with the data. You will have to reinstall everything with a clean install.

Thanks I was really starting to get worried I threw 200 down the drain... Oh and by the way Pink Floyd Rules!!!!!!

no responders??

I thought you cannot boot from a upgrade disk as they are not bootable. So how would this "Trick" work then? :confused:

I am starting to get really confused. I have two systems one running Vista ultimate x 64 and one running vista home premium x64. I took advantage of the pre-release offer and ordered two copies of win 7 professional upgrade. I just ran the MS win 7 upgrade adviser on both systems and the...

Do you perhaps have a Dell system? if so i can provide you with a link to request a set of backup disk

You can reload on a fresh format as many times as you like, so that will not be an issue. Another thing you can do is just remove the XP listing from the boot sequence. Since you had XP on first you will need to do a repair on the 7 install to rebuild the boot file. and then open up Disk...
