most of my games that aren't on steam need some registry entry for the cdkey and all ... it's a pain in the ass to retrieve those entries, export and import them again, maybe you have some tricks I don't know about ... but I aknowledge the fact that more and more games are "portable" and they...

yeha the ultimate version they gave us is full copy (worth 200$ ^^) I could do af ull "backup" and restore from it (I have daily and weekly full-backup cycle anyway)... but I hate reinstalling and patching games :S (steam's great, but not all my games are on it !)

Yeha I know what a clean install means guys, I've been studying CS for more than 5 years now... I just wished to know if between 2 versions of windows this was ok, cause I never do/recommend "upgrade" otherwise I was just wondering about this particular case because it's the same basic os, but...

In this case it's an upgrade from W7 pro to W7 ultimate so I only wanted to know in this particular case, I never upgrade from 2 different OS, but in this case it's the same "base" os so maybe it would only add the missing modules from my profesionnal edition...

I have W7 pro installed on 2 computers with my msdn-aa license. I just arrived from microsoft's align-it tour yesterday in Quebec city and they gave us a free w7 ultimate. I would like to try out bitlocker so I need to install this "higher" version. I tried putting the new CDkey but he said I...

Just so you know, I have not had more issues with BSOD, without even "upgrading" my installation. I downloaded the latest audio driver from my motherboard manufacturer's website and unchecked everything on autorun (sysinternal's product). Note that upgrading my NIC through windows update crash...

yeah I knew some people coded stand-alone program to show foldersize in treeview for example, but I really wanted this within explorer or a more explorer-like (like Xplorer2) thx anyway

I think I know where to download the program if I said I used it on XP and am a CS major ... thx for trying anyway but the program doesn't work on vista/seven and cannot because of what the author explain, Microsoft force people to implement old functions that they didn't wanna make public anymore.

all the site does is link to the developer website, and he doesn't support vista yet because of the many changes that occured with the IColumnProvider that requires a lot of work and rewriting things that were already available to dev on XP ... thx anyway for trying ^^

Great news, their old program sold vista for 70$ (and office for 64$), its a big improvement ! most computer science student have it for free with MSDNAA for the duration of our study (most of them, my school decided that we had to pay 75$ fees to get into the program since last week :/) but...

I was wondering if any of you knew of an alternative to foldersize on XP that would work on Seven, I already lived for too long without it on windows Vista... It basicly showed the foldersize next to the foldername in windows explorer, at the same place as windows show the size of regular...

thanks! I've searched a bit last night without success :P

I pick up the headphone when I feel like talking and always let my speaker up for the bass (I didn't pay for the z5500 for nothing), the point is not necessarly to use them at the same time, the point is to be able to use one or the other without playing with window's settings (which requires...

I thought it would create a windows.old and delete my programs ... I wanted to try it during the beta phase, but it needed 10gb or so to "upgrade" and I never let that much storage space left on my C drive ... so now I have to "resize" my main partition, guess I'll do this while at work this...

New: 1 botton and I can search everywhere ! (windows key + start typing), but the size of the window make navigating through programs a mess, it'S hard to pin something to the top, not very user friendly ... Old: Lots of space to search through instaled programs, No direct search textbox but...
