Out of interest, was the x86 or x64 flavour of Win 7?

FWIW PS Elements 7.0 works just fine on W7 x64 Retail, although I haven't tested CS4 yet. Once I do I will report back. btw How come I received my retail pre-order version on the 19th from PC World (UK)? I must be a super valued customer eh!? :p ps. I got an e-mail from PCW on the 20th saying...

I don't think the dust has settled on this one yet. I pre-ordered Windows 7E which would have been a full install. Now will I get the upgrade version or the full version when Windows ships. It's all a bit up in the air at the moment. CNET reckons full but there is no source quoted...

@Cybercore & Drew. Many thx, decision made.

32 bit vs 64 bit From what I am lead to understand (from CNET iirc) both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 will be available to me on the installation disk when Win 7-E arrives sometime at the end of October. I have a fairly low spec (1.7Ghz Athlon 64x2) processor and 3GB RAM (I will buy more...

Comet, Currys, Tesco, Staples, Micro Anvika, PCW and Amazon have all sold out of the sub £50 version in the UK as of today July 22. Sorry folks but the cupboard is bare. Being the jammy git that I am I ordered mine yesterday from Micro Anvika and a sales rep had to ring me about a...

I have Build 7100 and it's in there. Themes for UK, US, Canada, S.Africa and Aus. The Canadian one is superb.

I second that emotion.

Here's mine fwiw; the weather isn't too good today :o

Adobe Audition 1.5 is a big no-no, don't even try installing it! All my other music apps work fine (Reason 4, Fruity Loops 8, Ableton Live 7 & 8 and Mackie Tracktion 3).

Mine isn't an error or a bug as such but probably an omission. When using Explorer in Vista I thought it was quite handy to have a "New Folder" option under the "Organise" tab. In the RC the seem to have gone back to the old File/New/Folder route. Not a biggy I'm sure you will agree, but I...

Sorted! I had a bit of time at the weekend so I looked into this problem further. I found that in Task Manager the app that was pulling down Explorer was "ssvagent.exe" a bit of Java code from Sun. I located the exe file and renamed it "ssvagent.exe.old" and all is now well. I will keep you...

I've been running Windows 7 build 7100 (d/l'ed from Microsoft.com) for about three weeks now and generally I'm happy with it. However, I do have one big snag that has been bugging me since I did the upgrade from Vista; anything that uses Explorer.exe is extremely slow to render. If I click on...
