Has anyone managed to get Age of Empires 2 to work properly on x64? most of the colours in the water are inverted, as well as some of the grass. I can't seem to find a fix that works.

hobb posted:Does anyone have problems with the flat panel scaling options with a nvidia graphics card? When I try to tic any of the other radio buttons listed, after I hit apply it always reverts back to use my displays built-in scaling. Having the same issue on my 9600M GT. I've noticed that it reverts all of my settings after I hit the "yes keep these changes" button.

General Hawk posted:I've got a weird bug that I've been trying to run down this weekend. It seems that my new 1 TB Western Digital hard drive will disconnect itself whenever Windows goes into sleep mode. At first I thought it was just because it was SATA, but you'd think that all SATA devices would disconnect if that were the problem. With 2 SATA HDDs and 2 SATA optical drives, only the WD shuts off when I wake the computer. Has any one else had a similar issue with 7? A quick google revealed only folks complaining about the power options shutting off idle drives, not what I am experiencing. I know my WD eSATA drive likes to randomly disconnect on me. I've been in the middle of doing stuff and it's just left.

Are there any virtual drive programs that work with win7 that can emulate anchient (~11 years old) copy protection. Daemon Tools could do it if I enabled the safedisk/secuROM/whatever options, but that doesn't work. I just want to play Twinsen's Odyssey again

Charles Martel posted:I've switched over to the free version of Alcohol 52% from Daemon Tools and am enjoying it more. Sir Nigel posted:Try the trial of standard. I just installed it literally like 3 days ago. Neither of these are working for me. It gets past the SPDT install, asks to restart, then repeats on startup. I've tried just installing SPDT, but it doesn't help either.

PopeOnARope posted:So incidentally, with me living in Canada and all, what are my options to inexpensively upgrade to 7 Pro/Ult? Since the pre-order seems to be over with, I'd say look for an OEM copy. My local computer parts store has OEM copies of vista, and even has a neat little deal where they'll throw in a free upgrade to 7 if you buy a computer with vista now.

illamint posted:Quick question: I'm home from school for 3 weeks and have a little bit of downtime. I didn't bring my Xbox with me and I want to play some video games I've got around like Battlefield 2, CS:S, etc. Would I be better off throwing a copy of XP Pro on here? I've also got access to a copy of Windows 7 RC (MSDNAA doesn't yet have the RTM copy available). Windows 7 runs games perfectly fine. I haven't tried xp on my laptop, but I know it's noticeably faster than vista.

Going from 7 --> vista has made me notice that 7 runs a lot better. That or right after I went back to vista my computer decided to poo poo itself (which would not surprise me)

Dominoes posted:I use my start menu in Vista to access all my programs. I use the Games menu to run games, the frequently-used programs list that takes up most of the start menu to access my common programs, and the pinned list above it for a few that aren't frequent use, but I like easy access to. (I never go into program files because it's a mess.) Does the dock replace this? I found that the dock took the place of the quick launch bar and the common programs list in the start menu plus whatever other crap I always run. I kept using the games menu, though (but since most of my games are on steam I never really use it that much anyway)

Right now, my D drive is in the primary hard drive spot, and my C drive is in the secondary one. I want to format my D drive, as it has my old windows install on it. Do I just need to swap them, and let whatever's on the install disk figure out how to set everything up, then format it?

AquaVita posted:I don't know why you seem to be taking it so personally, but I did quote the replay gain wiki on the last page which said: It either messes with a tag for how much the volume should be adjusted, or it changes it in the file itself, and then saves it. It's only non-reversible if it's amplified so loud that there's clipping.

Have you tried messing with the resolution for the TV? the monitor may have been set at a resolution that the TV can't display, so after they switched ports it's getting the wrong signal.

I used that method and it worked. I had to call MS to activate windows, but I think that was because we already used this key (a week before the motherboard blew on that computer  )

Anytime Upgrade has an option to enter a key, so that should work. If not, any Win7 pro upgrade disc you can download should work. IIRC Microsoft doesn't give a poo poo where you get the disc or disc image from as long as you activate it legitimately.

If you mouse over icons on the taskbar it shows the boundaries for where you can click. Same with the buttons on the explorer menu. I'm not fond of the lack of title on explorer windows because I tend to end up with a trillion open and I'd like to be able to tell what's what easily but I don't see how it can be hard to figure out where you can drag

I've noticed that when I put my computer to sleep it doesn't prompt for a password when it wakes up. It's sitting in a pretty public place and I'd like to have it lock when it goes to sleep, but not need a password coming back from a screensaver, since I always put it to sleep whenever I leave the room. How can I get it to do this (on win7 home premium)

Download Windows Defender Offline and burn it to a CD or stick it on a USB drive, then boot to it and see if it catches anything. I had a pretty nasty virus that stopped windows update from working and this was the first step for me getting rid of it

Medullah posted:I swear I asked this, but I can't find it. Google does a bunch of results, but figured I'd get goon opinion. Thinking of doing a reformat and reinstall on one of my computers as it's been repurposed as a HTPC and has a ton of unnecessary crap on it. However, my Windows 7 disc is a launch copy. Is there a way to copy the Windows updates that have been installed on this machine and cache them after I reformat so I can not have to download a gazillion gigs of updates again? You can download a more up to date ISO and use your key on that, although you'll still have a few updates to download.
