mine functioned like any other monitor, excluding the touchscreen aspect. i just plugged in via VGA and i it worked. what seems to be the problem with yours? simply not displaying at all? just give me a play by play of whats happening. it would be fantastic if we could solve both our problems.

im trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium x86 (final RTM version) on my dad's mini-ITX build but i am getting an error message that says "DVD device driver is missing" please install driver yadda yadda. but where in the world do i get a DVD driver? its booting off the DVD drive...

im setting up an ITX jukebox PC for my dad and the CTX touchscreen monitor i got for it won't cooperate. im not sure if its Windows 7 or the monitor itself causing the issues. essentially the axises are totally screwy. its like the monitor is rotated 90o to the left. i tried letting Windows...

well i sure as hell ain't paying $200 a crack to upgrade 3 of my Vista Ultimate machines. thinking of buying a Home Premium full retail disc though. i'll make my activation decisions when i have a legit copy of Windows 7 in my DVD drive

i was just thinking about when someone is going to do an OEM crack like they did with Vista. way sooner than i expected. looking forward to this hitting torrent trackers in time for October 22

oneextraid: thats why they released the Beta and RC to the public. why would they do that and still intentionally leak other builds? they would either make them all available to the public or none. and using M$ just makes you look like a jackass

this is why my desktop has four 120mm Thermaltake fans (two as intake on the front, one exhaust on back and side) and two 140mm Apevia fans on top (one intake one exhaust) keeps my Phenom II 940 under 90F and my case at about 80F at idle. goes up to about 130F/95F max load. wish i could say...

you should be able to specify which partition you want to install to without overwriting the whole drive. is that what you're asking?

ok thank you for clearing that up. looks like that 1TB hard drive i bought wasn't so unwarranted after all. time to clone my disks! i will do a clean install of Win7 Pro on my desktop with a key i get elsewhere and use the upgrade key on my brother's laptop. glad i have this all figured out now...

@Tepid: you cannot upgrade from XP to 7. now i am confused. first i thought we established that you cannot change editions when upgrading to Win7. then i thought we established you could. now everyone agrees you can't again? im confused. here is my original question. can i directly upgrade my...

Newegg has special OEM Vista bundles that come with a free upgrade to Windows 7. you might want to look into it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116678
