I do believe dot net framework is included in Windows 7. I think thats what that error message is telling you. Do what it says and have a look in control panel for anything related to Dot Net Framework. I'm not at a Windows 7 PC at the moment so I can't verify it.

I'm almost embarrassed to post my specs. Both of my machines are from the dark ages. Oh well my main rig does what I want. It will play most of the games I can afford to buy. I may try windows 7 on it again at some point. Main PC Motherboard - PCChips M848A (v5.0) Processor -...

I think I can tell you why it happened, not sure exactly how to fix it though. When you install an OS it installs it's boot loader on the partition that is marked active regardless of what partition the OS is installed to. When you installed Ubuntu it installed its boot loader Grub. Grub was...

There is still only one MBR on that drive. It's on the C partition. Windows 7 detected XP during the install and replaced the XP boot loader with it's boot loader. It's refereed to as a dual boot. You should get the option to pick XP or windows 7 when you boot up the PC. By default it should...

I live in Canada and was still able to download it. :D I tried it on my main rig that runs XP Pro. First thing I noticed was a big delay while my Icons slowly populated the taskbar notification area. PC is pretty well useless until the MS essentials icon finally loads too.

Thanks, I haven't played them all. Some came in sets like the Medal of Honor and the Battlefield series. I liked Medal of Honor Allied Assault and completed it. Didn't like the Battlefield series all that much. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is probably my favorite FPS. Halo too. My other passion...

lol, I'm running 7100 and system properties shows I have no ram installed, it's just blank. :( I guess some leet computer haxors have stolen my ram.:eek: :D

My guess is that after the first reboot its going to want access to files on what would normally be a DVD drive. Once Windows 7 loads there will be no VCD so it can't get the files it wants. Try extracting the ISO to a folder on your hard drive and run the install from there. It would be similar...

I believe Windows 7 uses the windows Vista driver model (or what ever you call it) so drivers shouldn't be as big a problem as they were when Vista launched. Windows 7 is just Windows Vista se (second edition ) right? :D With the RC open to anybody that wants it there really shouldn't be any...

Not sure what you mean by "some stuff out for windows 7". If you are talking about routers they don't care what OS you are running. Home grade routers have come a long way security wise. Most have a good firewall with stateful packet inspection on the WAN side. The wireless side is more of a...

Lots of good stuff out there now. I just bought a DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless. :D

Power cycle the router, might even want to hit the reset button, and try again. Can you get internet if you plug your PC directly into your cable or DSL modem? You might have to power cycle your modem so it will read the mac address of the NIC in your PC. It will be looking for your router. If...

Does it show up in disk management?

Does you PC get an IP address from the router? Can you log into the routers setup menu?
