Hi All Since my last post in this thread I have installed the retail vers of Win 7 Home Premium and while the games: COD 2 (Win XP compatibility mode) Farcry 2 Crysis COD 4 COD Mod War 2 LOTR all run ok, when I installed "The Elder Scrolls Oblivion" it would not run except in XP mode SP2 but...

I also have had this problem with "Floppy" drives (3 from different manufacturers, to be exact) and do not believe it to be a HARDWARE problem but a Win 7 issue. I also have a PC with Win XP Pro 64 bit and have no problems formatting or reading floppy discs, and both my PCs are AMD chipset...

Hi Have you tried searching for a driver from the Manufacturer? , any new driver. I have a PC Line videocam which I was running under XP (both 32 and 64Bit) and I downloaded the most recent driver available and it works with Win 7, no XP mode or virtual box. Try searching for the most recent...

Hi All I bought the retail version of WIn 7 Premium and performed a clean install after reformatting and I am one happy bunny. This OS is very very good and has installed everthing, so far, that I have thrown at it. If it doesn't work native then it runs in compatibility mode for XP or Vista...

Hi kemical I am using both a USB wireless mouse and a generic usb mouse and have not needed to install drivers for these. But I am still getting USB freezes even when I have a PC mouse connected. Everything appeared to be going ok and then it suddenly went downhill. I am wondering if it had...

Hi All Back again to the same old problem (USB) . I am again having problems with USB attachments even though I am running with the latest SB 700 Vista drivers. The most frustrating one is the inability to use my \USB mouse. Fortunately I have a OC mouse and my board supports it but that is...

Hi Noob I have the same configuration as you HDD wise and I am running WIn 7 RC on 1 HDD and Win XP 64 on a second. As long as you have Win XP already installed on 1 drive, when you install 7 on the other it will set up the dual boot scenario and you will be able to select either to boot from...

Hi mathew As I have already asked in another thread, what Build of Win 7 are you using? Some of the builds released into the wild have additional malware hidden within that cause similiar issues to thois you are experiencing. I found this out for myself when I downloaded Build 7077 64 Bit and...

Hi sim What Build of Win 7 are you using? I originally ran the Beta Bld 7000 and then I thought I would try one of the newer builds released into the wild and downloaded and installed bld 7077 and I found I was having similar problems to your goodself. I am now running the official downloaded...

Hi Windows 7 will not install over XP you need to do a clean install. Even on AMD/Intel PCs the only way to upgrade to Win 7 is via a Vista w/Service Pack 1 installation. Stranksy (Douglas B)

Win 7 Premium Pre-Order I have pre-ordered Win 7 Premium and will be installing the 64 bit vers. I ordered from Play.com (£49.99) on the day MS$ notified me it was available. I previously Beata tested Bld 7000. Which strangely I had no problems with. Stransky (Douglas B)

Hi All For all those concerned with Win 7 RC boot -up times and aftermath. I visited a site Black Viper's Web Site and downloaded his Windows 7 RC1 Service configurations. Even if you do not use the information gleaned from this site the number of services listed on start-up should give you all...

Hi All I have changed Motherboards several times now (see posts on freezing thread) and I have had no problems with Win 7 RC running on either board after the change especially since I updated to the latest VISTA chipset drivers for the boards. Only thing that is needed is to re-activate Win 7...
