So we just reviewed Windows 7 Pro and like the look and feel of it and the new applications are nice bonuses. However Windows Live Mail is a No No for us! (You like it, then enjoy it. But we don’t want it!) So we tried to download version 6 of OE but when we tried to install it we got a; Not...

I don't want 64bit, and I don't want Home Prem. That is what is on the computer I purchased. It is the extremely tiny Acer 3610, I need help from those who know what that is (please, take just a second to eyeball it). It runs Atom 330 +Nvidia ION, and comes with 2GB ram. I think it is ridiculous...

90% of the time clicking on any drive C:\ D:\, cdrom drives, or even my network drives, opens up 2 new windows of that drive. I find it very annoying to have 3 open explorer windows when I only wanted 1. If I open a drive then close the two windows then open the drive again only one window...

As an experienced XP Pro user, I am somewhat surprised at what appears to be limitations associated with Win 7 offline file synchronisation process In XP pro files would sync on log on, log off and as frequently in between as you establised. However in Win 7 it appears to only sync on log on...

Just fitted a new hard drive for my systems "C" files and installed Windows7 Home edition (64bit). It was a clean install. The reason I fitted a new hard drive and Windows7 was because my previous set-up using XP Pro was getting difficult to start up each morning. Some times it booted first...

Hi All, I have a new Dell Precision T3400 which the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says I can run the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on. Unfortunately I am running XP pro 32 bit version on it. Dell told me I would need to run my 64 bit disc by hitting F12 when rebooting to boot to the disk. The...

I had the pleasure of setting up a small network workgroup with 4 windows 7 ultimate pc's and 3 xp professional pc's. 1 of the windows 7 pc's became the server and successfully shares folders to the other windows 7 pc's 24/7. The shares were created with the homegroup option. I used advanced...

Why when installing Window7 has it installed in drive (d) rather than (c) that has XP Pro installed operating system installed. I did not see any option regaring the drive selection when I did the install. I have tried to format the (d) drive before starting again, but cant format it - It showed...

Guys, I've recently changed my home computer over from WinXP to Win7. On my WinXP system, I had a permanently mapped drive to my "My Documents" directory on my work laptop (WinXP Pro). Once I had plugged my laptop into my home network (and powered it up of course), all I would need to do on my...

Hello! I have read the sticky notes and similar articles and have read forum posts, but none seem to address what I've encountered. I had a project to completely rebuild a PC that had been running 32 bit XP Pro. The PC is used mostly as a NAS. My intention was to put 64 bit Windows 7 on the...
