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)...

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...

Hello, I'm running a new Macbook Pro with OS X 10.5.7. I recently downloaded Windows 7 RC x64 Build 7100 and I was able to install it, but I am having driver problems. I installed the Boot Camp 2.0.1 drivers first, then ran the upgrade to 2.1 as many sites said to do. I'm having problems with...

I downloaded and tried to install Windows 7 RC Build 7100 yesterday because Windows 7 Beta kept saying it was going to expire by the end of month. When installing, it said I couldn't upgrade from the beta and forced me to custom install. It used my Recovery (D:) Drive to install on and now when...

On Windows 7 RC x64, every time I search for updates, I get this weird error -, C004F012. After a long extensive Google search, I've found absolutely nothing related to my problem. The error isn't even on the Windows database, and it's driving me mad, so I decided to give this forum a try, as it...
