    Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection Issue

    I haven't had an compatibilty issues, so maybe that's why I haven't run XP mode. The only issue was a couple of programs not running in a x64 enviro, so I assume I could install XP 32 mode, but wouldn't have access to my sata card, so wouldn't really help. Question though (so I don't start a...

    Windows 7 Sound crackling from speakers

    Was Win 7 already installed when you bought the laptop? Does the laptop have the ability to hook up external speakers? If so try those to see if it still crackles. Also check the advanced options in the sounds to see if bass boost is on or if the treble is too high.

    Windows 7 Windows 7 random freeze, then freeze while booting.

    Well if he just installed the Retail version, shouldn't be corrupt and if it happened on RC as well it's a hardware issue. Does it freeze after teh clean install, before you add any applications or anything? I'd suggest taking out all but one stick of RAM and try that and/or running the mem...

    Windows 7 Turn off "Show more details..." when selecting more than 15 files

    Windows 7 Browser stops opening pages after 2 hours

    Only other suggestion. Do you have your comp hooked to a router or directly to the modem? May want to try connecting to the modem directly to rule out the router issue. Even though IM works, there could be llimited access to the net.

    Windows 7 Turn off "Show more details..." when selecting more than 15 files

    If I'm moving files around or trying to find out what's taking up so much HDD space it's nice to click the show more details to get the size details. On the other hand it is a bit of a pain to have to click it each time I select more than 15 files - should have a drop down that will auto show...

    Windows 7 Problem with nvidia geforce 9800gt and windows 7

    Make sure to check that your monitor is being listed and not plug and play - even though P&P should give you a higher res. Also do you have on board video? Possible conflict? You may want to install older drivers and make sure you are getting the Win 7 x64 versions from the nvidia site. Maybe...

    Windows 7 Browser stops opening pages after 2 hours

    Have you tried multiple browsers to see if it's an IE or Firefox issue? Tried clearing the history/temp files/cookies/cache? I know there is a feature in windows that you can alot time that people are allowed to use the computer and/or internet - could be a conflict there?
