Hey guys, I hate to ask a question right on first post but this is rather an frustrating issue. Out of a sudden on a random reboot one day after installing new video card drivers for my ATi HD4830 card, it went "Operating System Not Found" or something similar to that. So I thought, weird...

Hi My Windows7 PC (64bit) has become infected with trojans/viruses and I need to do a full re-install from scratch. But when I try to boot off the CD/DVD drive it keeps (eventually) going to my hard disk and booting from there. How do I FORCE it to boot from the DVD? I have tried hitting F10...

The Russian Programmers Group "staforce" has written a small program witch removes the lock in the kernel of the 32-bit version of Windows 7. With such an unlocked (patched) kernel all 32 bit versions of Windows 7 suddenly can use almost the entire 4 GB of RAM, 8 GB of RAM - up to 64 GB of...

Firstly, great forum. I regret that my first post is a problem. I have just made a clean install of Windows 7 and everything went fine. I made a clean install from inside the W7 RC on a new SATA hard disk with a genuine Windows & Home Premium Disk. Installation only took about 30 minutes...
