Looks like you are out of luck. There is no Win7 or Vista driver for that chip, so you'll have to keep running WinXP on that machine.

It sounds like a modern cloud-based version of GEOS. Anyone remember GEOS? I doubt this will do any better than that. It might be good for anyone that only wants to surf the web. But other than that, it is a dead horse before it is even a live one. Personally, I would not put my money (or...

That's cool. But I really don't see the big deal with it. Why go to the trouble to change something, when it will change anyway when you get a non-beta version?

Lompocus, if one type is single-sided and the other is double-sided, they are not identical. Have you tried each pair separately? You only mention taking a single stick out in your OP. The correct troubleshooting procedure would be to take out the original sticks and try it with just the...

Either that, or simply better computer practices.

Go into your currently running OS and delete the partition. Then start the W7 install and re-install. Don't install AVG 8.5 free, and see what happens when you use it without a virus program. (just don't go to internet sites that might infect you) Then install a different W7 approved AV...

The GeForce4 420mx is only DX7 compatible, and W7 requires DX9 or above. You simply do not have the hardware to run W7.

Sounds like you might be overheating. When was the last time you blew out the dust and checked the fans?

Check the power management settings?

The right time to 'upgrade' is when the full release version comes out.

Funny, a 10GB partition to test a new OS. Why not allocate a bit more so you can use the apps you want. Or better yet, buy a second hd to dedicate to W7. You can get a 320GB (retail kit) drive for $50 from Fry's. FRYS.com | Western Digital I'm sure other stores have similar deals, some...

You might be. Perhaps that the "Enterprise" version is geared more to corporate use than home use, and so certain things would be available and enabled by default? And what use does a single home user have for the Enterprise version anyway? There are much cheaper versions that will do...

In W7 I have problems with Media Center, which I have reported. But if I get no feedback from MS, and no updates to the problems, how will I know if they fixed the problems? I will not upgrade a working WinXP system to a non-working W7 release. And I will not try unofficial Torrent versions...

Start with a complete reinstall, including formatting the hard drive. If you still get errors, it is likely a hardware problem. My first thought was a very nasty virus. But that should not effect Safe Mode unless it also effected the boot sector. Either way, if you boot into your main OS...

Wow! Where can I find Ubuntu 10? The latest version I can find is 8.10.
