Quick question here. I need to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication to be able to log onto my university network. With XP and Vista I had to put the service "Wireless Zero Config" on autostart, in order to get the authentification tab to appear on network options, and thus being able to enable IEEE 802.1x. This tab is missing from network options now, I've tried enabling the "Wired AutoConfig" service, but no luck so far. Any ideas?

When I try to run it in compatibility mode with a previous OS, it doesn't recognize the adapter. Don't run the installer. Extract the files somewhere and manually add the driver via device manager.

Dammit, I had xp on one hard drive, installed 7 on a separate hard drive, now I can't format the XP hard drive to use it for storage. I remove the hard drive physically 7 won't boot. That's loving retarded. Why would an installation of one operating system on a hard drive put critical information on another. How do I fix this without another reinstall?

That's loving retarded. Why would an installation of one operating system on a hard drive put critical information on another. I probably shouldn't even respond since I was asking about this on like, a couple pages ago, so obviously I'm no expert... but what's happened is 7 used the existing boot information (on the XP drive) and modified it. So it won't let you format XP because that would kill the boot information, and when you physically remove XP (and the boot info), it doesn't know how to boot. As far as I can tell, this is very simple to fix because your 7 install disk will go "oh poo poo there's no boot information" and replace it for you. So either format XP using something other than windows that doesn't care where your boot information is, or remove the XP drive and pop in the 7 disk and see if you can get it to write the boot info in. [edit] Yeah what that guy says \/

I'm downloading a DVD image torrent of the MSDN release right now. How do I activate this thing to make it legit? The only things I can find are cracks and illegal serials and such...I just want to pay my money and get this thang. If I download the image, will I be able to do that and get it legitimately activated? Thanks.

I'm having an issue with my task manager. Yesterday I reinstalled Win7 hopefully for the last time since I finally got my key, installed drivers, programs and it was only after I'd been using it for a while that I went to open the task manager. It opens fine, but whenever I hit "Show processes from all users" or "Resource Monitor" a UAC prompt comes up as expected, hit OK and then a cmd prompt flashes and it and the task manager window just close. Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything to do about it? Another question for everyone: when you hit the "Show processes from all users" in the task manager is the UAC prompt from the Windows Command Processor? Probably a dumb question but I just want to check. Edit: Turns out it had something to do with adding the Take Ownership keys to the registry. Restored the registry and now the task manager seems to be working fine again. Weird. It also now never pops up UAC prompts. rhuagh fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Aug 18, 2009 |

I have a performance question. I installed the RC on a brand new high-end machine, but my husbands matching brand new high-end machine decided to commit suicide, so we hobbled together an older computer while we wait for the motherboard RMA to come back to us. I threw the x64 7100 RC on it because it was here and convenient and this is just temporary anyway so he can browse the internet and play WoW and bitch about how this computer lags more than his Quad Core machine with 8GB of RAM. The machine is about 6 years old and he was using it as a main machine up until we built the new ones a couple months ago: CPU: AMD 64 3000 Motherboard: A8N-E RAM: 2GB Graphics: nVidia 7900GS At first I was pretty impressed with how snappy 7 was on it, it felt better than XP used to. WoW is laggy as poo poo in the main cities and has terrible load times, but it didn't seem any worse than it used to be on those machines (it's totally bottle-necked by the CPU, nothing to be done) and is completely playable in raids, just like it was on XP. However, tonight he tried installing Vent on there so he could do some PvP in WoW, and Vent was so laggy he couldn't even transmit while WoW had focus. I don't understand why there was such a huge performance hit. We tried running Vent as admin and it didn't seem to help. WoW is pretty much maxing out the system, but it doesn't seem any worse than it used to be on XP and there was never a performance issue like this before. Does this sound like something 7 is doing that I can tweak somewhere, or does it sound more like the old computer having problems of its own? Hang in there buddy, they'll send the new motherboard back soon and then you can rest!

Set the game to xp compatibility mode then click on the speaker in the systemtray. Then click on the speaker icon at the top of the mixer the audio settings window should pop up. Go to the advanced tab and try a both 16&32bit settings at 44khz. Because he is using vent when the problem appears you can also try disabling the voip volume control. Click on the desktop computer icon in the volume mixer and going to the communications tab and disabling voip volume control.

All right, glad to know the windows 7 install disc will fix it. Hadn't tried that yet because I broke my dvd drive (tray open, chair swung into it and broke the tray). At least now I know in the future to disconnect Other OS hard drives before installing to another.

There's a guide floating around somewhere to make a bootable USB stick with the Win7 installer on it. You could maybe use that for your repair install while you wait for your new DVD drive to arrive. Oh and if you disconnect your other OS hard drive when installing you wont be able to dual boot after installing.

You get 30 days to activate, but if you run SLMGR /REARM from the command prompt just before the 30 days run out, it resets the clock to give you another 30 days. You can do this up to 3 times giving you a little under 120 days. I pre-ordered Win7 Pro (UK goon, so got the full version, not the upgrade, for cheap) and this is exactly what I'm doing, except mine didn't come from naughty torrents :P

According to Wikipedia you'll need Enterprise or Ultimate. I would test this at home but I have Ultimate RTM. Vinlaen posted:What's the purpose of doing this? The main purpose is if you want to have a second machine to boot into without actually needing a second machine or paying the performance penalty of a VM. I'm a .NET developer and throwing IIS, SQL Server, VS2008, and all sorts of third party components on my "home" machine slows things down a bit. I can create a VHD and boot into my "development" environment and be ready to rock and roll. Also, if you boot into a VHD only the disk is virtualized not the whole computer stack like a traditional Virtual Machine so you take only a small performance hit. Scott Hanselman talks about Multibooting vs VHD vs VM

That should take care of the issue with the free daemon tools. They only bundled that version with the Pro version, not the free version yet.

When I shrink my icons to small the taskbar itself shrinks. (right click, properties, tick 'use small icons'). If this is what you've done, perhaps move it around the screen to see if it resets it. Otherwise, no idea what's going on, but it should reduce to the smaller, thinner taskbar when small icons are used.
