Yes, that's how I uninstalled the software in the first place - from Control Panel and Programs and Features. So there is no sign of the software remaining except the remnants that are left over in the network list that still lists Time Warner Mobile 3G as a wireless network. The uninstall is...

Hi all. I recently took advantage of the 30-day trial for Time Warner Mobile and installed their USB device and software. (They use the same WiMax network as Sprint and Clearwire.) After deciding I didn't want it, I uninstalled the software. However, when you click on the network icon in the...

Hi all. This is probably a newbie type question, but as much as I've worked with computers over the years, I've just never done this. Plus I'm wondering if Windows 7 has capabilities that might make this easier. I recently home-built a new computer for my parents (Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM...

Windows Disc Burner Not Accessible from Remote Desktop Well I finally got around to doing some more testing on this issue. As reghakr suggested - and I was suspecting - I made some tests with regard to Remote Desktop. Although it would have been difficult logistically to rig a monitor and...

No kidding. One would think that a Stock Quote gadget would be one of the premier gadgets for a personal and/or business computer. This gadget was easily available through Windows since the beginning of Vista - it may not have been great, but at least it was something to keep you abreast of...

The IDC Comstock Stocks sidebar gadget which has been one of main gadget presented to users from right-clicking on the Desktop since Vista has now disappeared from the selection list. (The last build I saw it on was build 7100.) Does anyone know why it has been removed and if it can be found? It...

Hi reghakr. I have 5 computers in my home all running Windows 7, so I don't want to associate this mid-level importance computer with my User Control Panel. (I'd rather reserve that for my most important one.) Anyway, here are the important stats: Windows 7 Build 7201 (32-bit) Home-built...

Thanks Drew for the link. But isn't this a third-party image burning program? If I still have not found a resolution to why Windows 7 won't burn ISOs, I may resort to this. But I'm hoping to determine why the Windows 7 built-in disc burning program is not working. I would prefer to add as few...

I have installed two different Windows 7 builds on a particular home-built machine I have at home - build 7000 and now build 7201. The computer was made as a backup machine out of older components, but operates very well when not stressed and utilizing clean installs. However, the machine has a...

HI Kavim. I'm the original poster and as you can see from my expereince, once the Quickcam software installation goes bad, it seems doomed. I spent countless hours trying to install the software and get the drivers to work and never did - until I did a clean install of a later Windows 7 build...

I'm working on 7100RC 64-bit. I have a HP Officejet 4215 All-In-One. I installed the full HP software downloaded from the HP web site for Vista 64-bit for this AIO. It appears to install OK, but the scanner does not work from the HP Solution Center (Digital Imaging Monitor) software which use...

Copied from above: So yes, I can use the nVidia Control Manager to resize my desktop within the TV screen. But it does not fit nicely as there are only two resize controls instead of four controls. But my issue is within Media Center which is what I mainly care about. I am able to configure...

Thanks for the quick response. There is no video card. The ASUS P5N7A-VM is a nVidia 9300/730i based mobo that has integrated graphics which support 1080p and 8 channels of audio through HDMI on the motherboard. So i just have a HDMI coming from the motherboard to the Denon AV receiver and then...

This is an exasperating problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. I built a HTPC a few months ago and ran Vista Media Center (VMC) great on it. In January, I did a clean install of Windows 7 Build 7000 and have been enjoying it very much. I have ended up using the 32-bit versions of Windows...

Hi dmunny. It was practically impossible to fix even though I worked long and hard to try to solve it. But I never did. I recently did a clean install of the Windows 7 Build 7100 RC and it installed the drivers automatically from Windows Update and they worked (although the software complained...
