Once I finished loading WIN 7 RC this past weekend - I attempted to copy some files from an old XP Pro Drive via USB Ext HDD to my new DELL Studio XPS machine. The XP machine died a couple of weeks ago. I am able to see and access the files from the old C; drive but when I attempt to connect...

So I have Vista Ultimate right now, which I was given through my college. I want to upgrade to Windows 7, but I don't need Professional or Ultimate. Home Premium would be just fine. Is there a way I can buy the 50 dollar upgrade to Home Premium or am I SOL because I have Vista Ultimate? If so, I...

My main pc is using Windows 7 64 bit build 7100, my kids pc is using XP Pro. Previously we had the networking with my main pc using Vista working perfectly, the XP pc could print on the printer connected to my pc, since I put Windows 7 on this pc I have the networking with file sharing etc...

I've been using XP Pro x64 for some time now. Never upgraded to Vista 64-bit because there was really nothing in it that I really need over XP Pro -- it just took up more space and memory (not to mention that it also did annoying things). It is, however, probably time to upgrade to Windows 7...

I'm running XP Pro, and installed Win 7 on a second hard drive so I could dual boot (which worked fine). I'm an admin for both boots, as well as the only user. I've now managed to hijack almost all of my access with Win 7 via those "You do not have permission to access this folder. To take...

Hi there. I have recently installed the RC1 build 7100 on my Dell Inspiron 1300. I have gotten all devices working except my wireless card. If I turn off WPA-AES TKIP on the wireless I can connect and browse ok. However as soon as I turn on the encryption it will not connect. It seems this was a...

My primary computer passed the readiness test for Windows 7 using the beta utility on the Microsoft site. The computer has a good running XP Pro installation on it on one of two available SATA drives. The second drive has 3 large empty partitions on it so I decided to install Win 7 build 7100...

Hi this is probably not windows 7 specific however I am trying to accomplish it in Windows 7 so I'll ask. I have decided to dual boot one of my PC's at work. I am testing 7 out for a few programs that are specifically used with my company. Here is the issue: I am only testing just a few things...

I had Windows 7 installed and operating perfectly for over a month but I accidentally deleted it. I have a Dell XPS 630i with 4Gig ram which I purchase less than 6 month ago. I have three hard drives. XP Pro is on disk 1, Vista is on disk 2 and I have Microsoft Server 2008 on disk 3 partition...

I have Windows XP Pro installed on my 120GB. I had the bright idea of dual booting Windows 7. So, I decided I would put that on the 320GB. Windows 7 worked fine but would not dual boot with the XP install. The XP install is intact, but the only way to boot it is to unplug the 320GB Windows 7...

Hi guys I couldn't get this to work with CLEAN install but using upgrade from XP PRO ==>Vista Ultimate===>W7 works perfectly Digital channels - Freeview UK all fine as well as analog and loads of radio stations. I Only used the VISTA Ultimate as a means of getting from XP to W7 --didn't...

(I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong thread) So like the thread title says, is 7 build 6801 32 bit "good" enough to wipe current setup of Windows XP Pro SP3 and start clean with this build of 7 and keep using it from now until the final.? (This to me will prove how "good" it is). I...

With XP Pro I used to be able to drag a URL from IE7's address bar to my desktop and then, say the next day, click on it and it would open the web site. Now when I do it I notice that it enters say, "file:///C:/Users/Kerry/Desktop/Windows%20Vista%20Support.url" and with some sites the graphics...

I now have a dual boot system, XP Pro and Vista beta 2 64 bit. Both seem to be working well except Vista didn't like my soundblaster live card. The only big problem I have is I am unable to sync my Toshiba E740 pda. It shows up in the device manager but not in the sync centre. The windows...
