Has anyone successfully installed windows 7 (32 bit) on an Intel D875PBZ motherboard? I couldn't find anything in a forum or Google search and Intel says that no windows 7 drivers were developed for it. Just curious as I got a great deal on a new OEM board.I can live with Windows XP if I have to...

Let's say, just for curiosity's sake, that the build of SP1(1850) that many of us installed is NOT the actual RTM build and we decide to keep it as it still would presumably contain all the patches, etc. that we would need. And let's also assume further down the road that there is a SP2 released...

Thanks Mike, The version that installed correctly on 2 machines matches your string above. The 3rd machine obviously has issues that I will deal with. Thanks again for your help.

Installed SP1 from Softpedia on 2 Win 7 64 machines, but the 3rd is getting the 0x800f0826 error code. The CBS log indicates a couple of errors such as: 2011-01-21 22:12:25, Error CBS SPI: (CheckForPendingFlag:90)Failed to open component hive at...

Jessica, I realize that going from 32 to 64 is considered a clean install. I guess my question was that even though I've used a 32 bit disk and key to install Windows 7, I can now use the other 64 bit disc and key to perform a full, custom install of 64 bit over the 32 bit version. If the key...

I know you can upgrade 32 bit to 64 bit using a custom install. My question though, is I installed Windows 7 32 bit using a retail upgrade disk. I've now decided I want to try 64 bit. Since the upgrade box contained 2 discs (32 & 64 bit), am I free to install the 64 bit on the same computer or...

Thanks! That's exactly what it was. Removing Office 2010 Beta removed the phantom drive.

Somehow I've ended up with a "phantom" local disk Q showing in Computer. It shows as 0 bytes used and 0 free; it cannot be accessed. It does NOT show in either disk management or device manager. It is not my card reader which is removable drive F. I do not have an external drive connected of any...

Thanks, netdragon. I'll follow your advice if I decide to try and upgrade.

Glad we could be of help!

Is this an AGP card? If so try the hotfix drivers here: Catalyst AGP Hotfix - Radeon HD 4000 Radeon HD 3000 and Radeon HD 2000 Series AGP products

I also have Outlook 2007, but am running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I just tried to send a file to "email recipient" and it worked as it should, opening Outlook as the default mail program. Make sure Outlook is designated as the default mail program: How to Make Outlook Your...

You mean the driver, reghakr? My harddrive has been working fine. As far as I know, these were actual drivers from Promise and were not modded.

Glad I could be of help. I was about ready to give up when I found those drivers after hours of searching.

It seems that some people, including myself, are having problems with blurry text after installing Windows 7. If you Google "blurry text and Windows 7" you will come up with many posts on various forums and websites. There are many suggestions, most obvious, such as updating videocard and...
