    Windows 7 Windows Media Center/Player

    Update Using just the regular media player, I have found the button to open the enhancements. It seems like with every new iteration of Windows Media Player they try to find new ways to hide the menus and tools. I'll post a SS later of the location as I am at work now. The EQ, playspeed, and...

    Windows 7 Ie8

    My advice: don't use it. Firefox is traditionally more secure, faster, and more stable. Until it's proven to be inferior to IE, I won't switch back. IE is integrated into the OS, which poses greater security hazards. FF is not. FF plays animation like .gif and flash more smoothly, and it can be...

    Windows 7 AMD Athalon 64 X2 Running on One Core

    Indeed, google search kept bringing up dead links and problems with nVidia cards. Took a lot of searching. Glad things worked out for you too.

    Windows 7 Audio Bitrate Downgrade due to DRM?

    A separate problem I have with audio in WIN7 is a large reduction in sound quality. Regardless of the lack of EQ-ing I mentioned in my other thread, my audio should still have a level of quality to it that just isn't there. Music encoded @ 320kb/s sounds like a poorly encoded 128kb/s. I have...

    Windows 7 Windows Media Center/Player

    I went from XP directly to this beta without ever having used Vista at all, so this Media Center software is new to me. Pardon my n00bery, but I was wondering if anyone knew where all the enhancements went for the audio player. I usually EQ my music before sending it to my stereo just to boost...

    Windows 7 Only 1 Core Showing

    I tried this at home last night and it worked. For me, all I had to do was check the "Detect HAL" box. I couldn't manually enter the number of processors. I would venture to guess that happens because I only have 1 processor - it just happens to be a quad core. I went from having a single...

    Windows 7 Quad Core Detection Issue

    Hi, I'm new here. I recently installed the beta on a dual boot machine (winXP is the other OS) and it it is working smoothly enough for me aside from the odd software compatibility issue. I do have one hardware issue: both task manager and CPU-z detect my quad core Q9300 as a single core when...
