    Windows 7 Installation method for RTM

    Did you know? Did you guys know that MS is recomending people UPGRADE their Vista installation instead of clean install? If I rememer correctly, they said it made the system more stable. Not sure where I read,or I'd post the link, but it was a major site. (PC World, Cnet kind of thing)

    Windows 7 NO UPdates????

    listen the aboe was not written to diss ANYBODY. If you look thru the forums you realize that Radnight is a rock star when it comes to help people with excellent advice. But even a rock star hits a bad note oo two. One of them appears to me that he is not hearing me. The fact is WIN 7 is not...

    Windows 7 NO UPdates????

    When Vista first came out, I had problems, all most all minor, which MS said the ONLY way to fix was to re-format and re-install in order to fix. This way thereleased version. Didn't seem to matter, the mantra they gave to me was re format and reinstall. This was like having a flat tire on the...

    Windows 7 NO UPdates????

    These msgs started 2 wks after I installed. Windows was activated. MS says that they RC will die in 2010, and to avoid it dying, you must purchase a lisence, which seems to indicate that they expect you to be able to upgrade from RC to RTM. ( How can you purchase a lisence for a product not yet...

    Windows 7 NO UPdates????

    Today Win 7 informed me I was running a pirated copy of Win 7 RC 7100. IT IS NOT. Following the link provided by the notification, I was informed that the product is not being sold yet. Does this mean the RC will not get any updates until it is bought??? So much for free until 2010!

    Windows 7 Can't update Windows...Included some screenshots...

    I tried AntiVir but it wouldn't install for me in 7. I use it in my Vista install, along with threatfire, and love both. Yes, unless someone knows of a work around, you will NOT be able to update. This is a bad thing, as windows in infamous for security problems. Is the service starting...

    Windows 7 A couple of issues with Windows 7 RC

    Did you get any Windows Updates today? Also, is your video driverup to date? I did a video driver update to the one installed in my Win 7and it actually made the system flake out. So sometimes updates aren't the answer. Also, did you dellete the Linux entry,reboot, and add it again. I had this...

    Windows 7 Can't update Windows...Included some screenshots...

    This seems to be an example of inconsistant installs. I've install a VERIFIED copy of Win 7 RC. I've installed it 3 times on this laptop,and each install has it's individual quicks. If your not sure your install disk is good, download a new one ASAP, format and reinstall. If the problem...

    Windows 7 A couple of issues with Windows 7 RC

    Have you used EasyBCD to fix you booting problem. I triple boot, and it has made life sooo much easier. Install you Linux bootloader (which I assme is Grub) to the Linux Partition; EasyBCD will take care of windows. Start EasyBCD, and add a Linux. Pretty easy

    Windows 7 Windows Live

    Yhanks for the info Kyle; I hadn't heard that. I just remeber all the hype from when SILVERLIGHT first came out, thought it a bit strange. New and Improved makes sense.

    Windows 7 Unable to Detect SDHC Card on Windows 7

    AHHHHH, no sense of adventure??? But its a good thing to try; if it doesn't work there is always the linux option for the adventurous. It just occured to me to take it to another computer and try to format. Probably the easiest thing to do, lol; least adventurous.

    Windows 7 Unable to Detect SDHC Card on Windows 7

    An easy fix to this problem is to download Ubuntu Linux,burn the ISO, and boot the disk. It will not make any changes to you hard drives unless you tell it to, as in installing. But your SD Card should show up. Format it from linux. The card should then be OK. This is a free solution, just...
