Hey, does anyone have any idea why Win7 shows the little "safely remove hardware" icon on the taskbar for the Daemon-tools virtual drive? I don't think it did that in Vista.

Not showing here with 4.30.4 (with SPTD 1.58 lol) under Windows 7 RC. The only annoyance I have is that Windows pops up a compatibility notice every time the notification area application launches on system startup. I'm not planning on buying or stealing the Professional version just to get rid of this minor nuisance.

My daughter's system has a "Safely remove hardware" item in the tray for her VIDEO CARD. It is the system's only video card. Nothing onboard. Just a PCI-Express GeForce 9500 GT. I clicked it once, and the screen went black. I didn't try pulling the card or re-inserting it. I figured that would be a BAD thing to do.

I never touched it for fear that it would gently caress up my system, but I never found an explanation for why it was there.

Only if you're running AHCI, and there should be a way to disable the hot swap feature so they stop showing up on that list. I couldn't imagine trying to eject a USB drive and spinning down my data storage

My drives don't show up, but that may be because I set my BIOS to SATA as IDE because I didn't want to deal with installing drivers with XP because I don't have a floppy drive. I'll probably change it all back once I install the RTM of 7 when I feel like switching from the RC.

Isn't there a checkbox you can click to tell it not to bother you anymore? Xenomorph posted:My daughter's system has a "Safely remove hardware" item in the tray for her VIDEO CARD. Whenever I install drivers for my video card, which now happens to be a 9500 also, I hear the "disconnect/connect" sounds. I got them back when I had an ATI as well. It's funny to think of unplugging/replugging your video card.

It's funny how people think Windows 7 rips off OS X when the notion of an icon-only dock goes back to Windows 1.0

Lum posted:A USB composite device is kind of like having a device with a built in 2+ port hub that then provides 2 or more actual USB devices, in your case Midi port 1 and Midi port 2. When you installed it on XP it would show up briefly as a composite device and then the two midi port drivers would get installed, the actual composite device doesn't show up in device manager the same way a hub does. Thanks for that, but unfortunately there are no drivers available for any OS, let alone Vista. It's odd, because both of my instruments are new, so who knows what's going on. Things seem to be working now with 32bit Win7, so I guess i'll just play the waiting game.

You can't upgrade XP. You can do a fresh install without formatting which copies your files to Windows.Old.

It also improves how eSata works.

What's the cheapest way to get a copy of Windows 7? I missed my free copy at the MS developers conference in Boston due to traffic, but want to get a copy without paying $200. Suggestions?

Simplest route is to buy an OEM copy of Home Premium for $110 or an upgrade copy of home premium for $110. Or you can buy a 3-pack of 7 Home Premium upgrade license for $150, so that's $50 an upgrade key.

I don't think it was mentioned yet, but the RTM versions of Windows XP Mode and Virtual PC are available on Technet and MSDN.

Wikipedia says that Home Premium edition has a "Maximum Physical Memory" of 16gb. What does this mean, exactly? EDIT: Oh, wait that's RAM isn't it...

the posted:Wikipedia says that Home Premium edition has a "Maximum Physical Memory" of 16gb. What does this mean, exactly? It won't use more than 16 GB of physical RAM. Vista Home Premium had the same restriction. The concept is that you do that to get users who need more power to use more expensive versions. I believe Home Premium also has an 8-core limit on cores it will recognize and use.

You guys keep talking about having goddamn Windows parties, and I know you get a free copy and all, but is this just basically everyone trying to scam the system to get a free copy? In other words, are any of you actually hosting a party? And how would Microsoft know if you didn't?

Some people have said they are throwing a regular party and just happen to be getting windows, or doing it at work. Microsoft won't know though. Except for maybe that guy selling the party kit on ebay (sans windows of course, gotta keep that).

I'm running Win7 x64 on my main laptop and I love it. However, one of my old machines which is basically a media center PC is up for reinstall. It's only 2GHz Pentium M w/1.5GB DDR. Should I reinstall XP Pro SP3 or go for Win7 x86? Surely XP will run faster than Win7 and obviously there aren't any apps that require Win7 right now, but can anyone foresee a reason why an HTPC would be better off with Win7 despite the lackluster hardware?

Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66Ghz, 3GB of RAM, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Not exactly crap, but in XP it would chug along when I got a little overzealous with the firefox tabs, and I haven't had that problem so far.

Why do I have trouble having WASTE start with Windows? On Vista Windows Defender used to "warn" me about it, and I'd have to choose it, but now it just doesn't even do that. I should add that I have set to open as admin in the properties. This might be a bit presumptious, but it kinda pisses me off the MS have just decided that I shouldn't be running it, and therefore blocks it starting up. I can't find any way to say "yes I'm content with this running" echinopsis fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Oct 10, 2009 |
