    Windows 7 Do I need to remove Windows 7 RC before upgrading XP to Win 7

    I am running Windows XP 32 bit on my C: drive and Windows 7 RC on a second hard drive H: , using a dual boot system. I have not even used XP since installing Win 7. All my data files are located on H: and also backed up to an external hard drive. I will be upgrading (clean install) of Windows 7...

    Windows 7 CD-LabelPrint for Canon Printers

    Just a quick note. The issue occured while I was running Windows 7 Beta. As soon as installed RC7100, CD Label Print worked with the Vista drivers (32 bit). In the interim, I had purchased Acoustica CD Label Printer which also works very well.

    Windows 7 MS Wireless Mouse- looses connectivity

    Good luck. Just one other thing I forgot to note. When you put your computer to "sleep", the receiver also shuts off, so you can't wake up your computer with the mouse. I keep a wired mouse plugged in at all times as a backup and have a wired keyboard, so it is not an issue for me.

    Windows 7 MS Wireless Mouse- looses connectivity

    I now have it working but for how long, I don't know. It has worked fine before, then suddenly quits working. This time, I removed all Intellipoint software, then re-installed the Windows Vista mouse driver and software (IP32Eng6.30.191.0) for my MS Wireless Mouse 2000 . I then shut down my...

    Windows 7 Adobe Reader 9 browser plug-in doesn't work

    I followed your steps, with the exception of the clean install of Win 7 (I did a clean install on my first setup). I then ran REGEDIT, and removed all references to Adobe Reader 9. I then installed Adobe Reader 9, opened up AR9, agreed to the terms, then uninstalled Adobe Air and Adobe.com. I...

    Windows 7 MS Wireless Mouse- looses connectivity

    I have a MS Wireless 2000 mouse that works fine, until I put my computer into "sleep" mode. When I wake it up, the connectivity on the usb desktop receiver is lost, and the mouse will not work. I checked the devices, and everything is "working". The only fix is to re-boot. I downloaded and...

    Windows 7 Magix software incompatable

    Magix Software Compatibility I have Magix PhotoStory CD/DVD and Photo Designer 6. They would not install directly - I recieved the error that the operating system is not compatible and it would not install. I then ran the install in compatibility mode for Vista and it installed. It takes...

    Windows 7 Antivirus issues

    I installed AVG Free 8 and it works fine, no errors. The only issue is the Updater doesn't always work, but if you just forget about it, it will update date itself anyway in an hour or two. This isn't a big deal as AVG Free only updates daily as far as I can tell. Try removing and...

    Windows 7 Adobe Reader 9 browser plug-in doesn't work

    I have same issue in IE8 and Firefox using Adobe Reader 9. They will not open an PDF. I then removed Adobe Reader 9 and installed Adobe Reader 8.13. Firefox worked just fine but IE8 had the same error. I rarely ever use IE8 anyway, but I did try Foxit Reader as suggested in this forum. It...

    Seems to have helped, but it may take a few more installs to see if it works. Thanks.

    Windows 7 Administrator - Run as Administrator Issues

    I am not sure where to post this but will try here. As an XP user who is now trying the Win 7 Beta, I have found most things work well and software installation and configuration has worked for most applications. I set up Win 7 as a clean install on a second hard drive, thus creating a dual...

    Windows 7 CD-LabelPrint for Canon Printers

    CD-LabelPrint is a program that comes with Canon Printers , in my case Pixma iP4300, for printing directly to CD's and DVD's. Has anyone got this to work with Windows 7. I tried the Windows compatibility wizard and it actually worked once. It took about 20 minutes and the program opened. I...

    Windows 7 Word 2007 freezes constantly

    Sorry nothing worked, I am out of ideas. The only work around I know of is to un-install Office, then disable your security suite or better yet, if it is Norton, remove it and then re-install the program and updates. With Win 7, you are fairly secure, except for the lack anti-virus...

    Windows 7 Word 2007 freezes constantly

    Word freezes Here is a link to another forum James.Random() : Word 2007 freezes after installing patch from Windows Update It might be worth a try, but back up your registry first. I had tried using Norton 360 Beta 2 when I first installed Win 7 as it was supposed to work with Win 7, but it...
