Anyone know of a way to do this?

Hi! I need to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate, again. (if you recall my last post, you know why :) ) I'm going to wipe the drive and reformat and then reinstall Windows 7. My problem is that I have some games installed which have rather large updates that I had to DL (took an hour...

Thank you for the information, I may just do that. I suppose I could look this up for myself, but then we couldn't chat about it on the forum! What are the differences between the home version and the ultimate? I thought I had read somewhere that "ultimate" is geared toward business use...

I take it then that the motherboard is the determining factor for the OEM version then yes? So, I could upgrade everything else in the box except for that then. Well that's not too bad then, I could go up to the i7 950 at some point. I just built the computer, so it really shouldnt be an issue I...

Hi, My computer notified me last night that my version of Windows 7 Ultimate may be a pirated version! And I think it intends to shut windows down on my computer if I do not provide an Activation Key that it likes. I bought a Full install (OEM) version of Windows 7 Ultimate last night and...

Yeah, I uninstalled the driver, then installed a new driver from Nvidias site. seems that some of the issue is cleared up, but still cant seem to get it to realize i only have one monitor.

Ok, if I plug monitor into video card on the left, when I start the computer I can see the bios and it goes the the windows loading, then goes black. Then if I switch and plug it in on the right, it comes up. I do not have two monitors plugged, and as far as I can tell, I dont have any options...

I've been fighting this problem now for days. When booting my computer, I get to the loading windows splash screen. Then the screen goes black.. even though I can hear the sounds it makes at the login screen. I first thought this was some issue of windows having my monitor listed as the #2...

I know I have seen several tools in Windows to help memory usage and probably even some programs out there to help it out. Perhaps the game has a memory leak. I believe this can be best described as the game using the memory and not emptying it out as it goes, so eventually you reach capacity...

I'm really probably the worst source of help, It was something you downloaded from Windows Update site? hmm.. Have you tried system restore, perhaps it would take you to a point prior to the download. There are so many possible problems or conflicts that it would be hard (for me anyway) to...

A few more details: It is a fresh install of windows 7, drive was clean beforehand. I've only installed about 3 programs so far, (itunes, avg and Aion) I updated the system last night using Windows update which loaded 13 different things in. I was hoping this would cure it. but it didn't. To...

I'm far from any kind of computer guru or anything, but I would check your sound and gpx drivers. But, i'm sure you will get much better suggestions from others :)

I'm not sure what the solution is, but whenever I open various windows, such as My documents,My Computer or even open my external drive.. I will not be able to switch back to the other windows. I can click them, but they do not light up and I'm not able to close them. The only way around...
