Hi fellow Windows 7 users! Well so I've been using Windows 7 64 bit, Ultimate, for a couple months now, started on the RC and am loving it. Recently a couple weeks ago I took a step and got a technet sub and am currently using the RTM which is 6.1.7600 Build 7600. Problem I'm having now though...

I spend a lot of time recording (Guitar, Keyboard, etc) and have been a Die-Hard Mac User for years. My new dual-core Vista laptop was a disappointment recording wise (too many issues with latency and speed), most of the Windows recording guys told me to install Win XP as it's faster. I...

I have an Intel quad core desktop and i installed the RTM from MSDN on here and the multitasking is insanely slow. My pc basically locks up while doing a lot of activities but my memory usage never breaks about half of what i have (4gb) and the CPU is never stressed more than 35%, what could be...

Hey everyone, I've done a clean install of Windows RC 7 (64-bit), and at the point where the install says "determining video settings" (or something similar) my monitor will go into standby mode and nothing will wake it up. After rebooting, I can get to the part where it wants me to enter the...

Hello! I have experienced a problem in Windows 7 that I have never encountered before (in Vista or way back in XP): Some windows appear behind the taskbar instead of below it (my taskbar is located at the top of the screen, and has been that way in previous OSs). I'm at my wit's end as to...

Hi! Thanks for viewing my post. I appreciate you. I know that my computer is incompatiable with xp mode because I get an error that my processor does not support virtualzation or something similar to that. My question is, are there any work arounds to get xp mode on a non compatiable pc? I...

I'm pretty mad about this situation. After hearing all the good things about Windows 7's speed and performance increases over Vista, I said, hey let's try it. Everything seemed to be working well, until I decided to install the drivers for my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum device. These...
