I want to setup my laptop with VMWare or something similiar so that windows is running virtually, and every boot-up i am running a "fresh" windows install (sorta how most colleges have their systems setup), as well as have the option of booting into Ubuntu or Fedora as a dual boot option. BUT...

Hello All, A problem has recently arisen on my work laptop. I have been using it for a solid 8 months with no issues, about 2300 hours of use. As soon as we install a new router, i have frequent network disconnects. However, i also installed a few windows updates the same morning. ALL network...

7MB would not be enough to cover the extra size of the ISO. From what i have found, an ISO of course, is an exact image of the disk And also the layout of the disk which is where the extra size comes from. I will just have to use a DL.. i was on-site at the time of post so i was scrambling to...

Hello, I have created ISO backups of all of my operating system installation disks that i use for my tech repairs in case i lost my bag and well.. i lost it. :( So i am trying to burn my ISO backups of the install disks, however the created ISO's are larger than a regular 4.7 DVD and i have...

Hello everyone, i have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium - 32 bit. I started typing, using my left shift button and all the sudden a box popped up just as i was hitting enter. I briefly saw Filter keys on the title before the window disappeared. After that, my keyboard...

I think the beta runs out march of next year doesn't it? I have it on my laptop and desktop and its still active. As far as the log in screen you've got me... i cant really think of anything except for repairing off the dvd or what tblount said. Maybe a password reset disk will work? Worth a...

Oh i see, i am sorry i quickly scanned over your post im at work heh. So you downloaded the upgrade file from a website and its not working. The best thing that i can say is to call that company, DigitalRiver and tell them that your download is not working, or if it allows you to log back in...

From what you describe it sounds like settings to me. It seems your monitor is just going into regular standby. Try going into advanced power settings as well. That gets more specific. As far as the monitor turning off on you when you start your computer, i think that is normal it depends on...

Well, you dont absolutely have to upgrade... but theres no fun in having old technology.... unless its an old classic car. lol LOL - My first lover was ugly but I upgraded when i married... :eek:

ah, ive installed windows operating systems so many times... i have seen that problem quite a few times when customers gave me disks that were damaged, it would install to a certain percentage every time and then get hung up. I even had a case of a brand new WinXP Pro. disk, pulled out of the...

Ok...well IT WORKS NOW!! I did two things before it started working so im not sure which one of the two did it it was probably the first one. 1. When i downloaded the driver off their website the first time it didnt fix the issue. I then downloaded This: GO TO: Link Removed due to 404...

Hey everyone I have a desktop and there are quite a few computers in the house, i created a homegroup on the desktop, and the other desktop and two wireless laptops connected to it. It was extremely easy to set up. all using windows 7 beta build 7100 But.. recently i was trying to set up a...

Oh awesome stardock works with win7 now!? I have all of their software for vista/xp but for some reason it would not run on my windows 7 beta.. even with the latest updates before win7 was released on the market. Cant wait to get it.

I tried uninstalling the driver but of course, windows 7 immediately pops the driver back in. Unless i have a driver file to try i cant really do to much. I recently found out that Panasonic bought Matsushiba, the reason it says matshita is because they had to truncate the company name to fit...

love it I think the new menu is waaaaay better. The search feature makes all the difference. Most people know what they are going to the start menu for in the first place, so a quick type in and enter and bam your program is launched. Anything to save those extra few second of your life...
