Hi, I'm having this issue since I moved to W2008 R2 64 bits. I was using W2008 X64 before and it worked absolutely fine. As I'm using W7 X86 on my notebook since it was available on the MSDN website as a RTM version, I thought I would like to have a homogeneous working environment so decided to...

I've got a upgrade related problem that I can't seem to figure out. I'm current running the RC of Windows 7 Home Premium and recently got a release copy of Win 7 Professional via Microsoft's Academic Alliance (which, for some reason, got it about a month before the official release date)...

This is what I get when I try to copy a file from the backup dvd i made when I was still using XP. I double checked that the disk was working properly and the files were there OK by opening the file in another computer using XP and another using Vista. After getting too excited and stupidly...

I want to go back to Vista Home Premium x64! Windows 7 disappointed me and actually gave me a harder time than Vista did when I moved from XP to Vista. \ I checked an instructions document out about how to rollback to Vista from an upgrade to Windows 7. By using the windows.old folder located...

I downloaded a legal full iso- en_windows_7_ultimate_x64_dvd_X15-65922 Running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor indicated there would be no problems with an upgrade from Vista 64 Ultimate edition. Setup starts just fine, but halts at 18% of 'unpacking windows files'. The computer then reboots...

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 RC build 7100 (32-bit) on my HP Pavilion tx2508ca from Vista (Home Premium, 32-bit) and for some reason, the touch capability of my laptop does not work. The stylus works fine as a mouse substitute, but unlike before in Vista, where the back of the pen works as...

I have 3 computers on my network running Windows 7. I created a homegroup on one, and successfully connected to it from another. On the third computer, however, I'm having some problems. If I try to join the homegroup the normal way, I get the message "Windows cannot set up a homegroup on...

If I'm reading things correctly, there will be no direct path to upgrade to Windows 7 from an existing XP system. Is this correct? Clearly new PCs will have Win7. Many Vista users may not follow the upgrade path, as their systems are fairly new to begin with. However it's the large bulk of...
