Hey all-
Fairly new here at the forum. Upon installation of Win 7 RC on a partition created on a Vista Ultimate machine I have noticed some peculiar things happening when booting back into Vista ( given the choice of OS when rebooting ). I have multiple versions of Photoshop from 7 through CS 3 installed on the Vista machine ( along with several highly priced and registered plugins ). With that being said. Vista requires I now run Photoshop as Administrator whereas before hand it did not. I also had to re-register all app's within Photoshop ( the plugins ). Along with Premiere Elements. Now....
Upon disc cleaning the Vista system and then rebooting back into Win 7, I have lost the installation of IE. This required me to re-install Win 7 on the same partition giving me IE back. I have also noticed that Win 7 does not recognize the installed card readers ( flash card, Simm card ) on the machine nor the sound card driver for the creative soundcard. However I have sound.
I am hesitant on installing the soundcard drivers ( and application ) OR any other applications with the fear of causing more dual booting problems. Otherwise, I wish I had a Retailed version of this OS so I can clean install over the Vista OS and quick. It's quicker, sleeker and feels light as opposed to the 'heavy' sluggish and often locked Vista OS. I have had to use Task manager more on Vista than I ever did on XP Pro and yet to use it on 7 RC. Anyone ordered a new Dell lately and care to fess up a key for the new OS?-Irish
