echinopsis posted:what do you guys have against ifranview? I just didn't like it. Got too used to the way ACDSee works, and I prefer it. I tried Irfanview and although it's plenty fast, I found it a bit clunky. Not trying to get into a debate here, you like it and a lot of others do, too. I recognize that Irfanview is good quality software, it's just not for me.

I've been using the Media Center extender for music, because the music interface is way better than the dashboard.

About half the time something gets added to startup it doesn't catch it. I admit I haven't tried the monitor myself, but did you run it as administrator? His Startup Control Panel app worked for me that way in Win 7, but not as a regular user.

FAILS AT EVERYTHING posted:Okay got a question... Right click the drive, go to security tab, click ADVANCED, go to Owner tab, click Edit, and change owner to the Administrators group or your account. Make sure Replace owner on subcontainers and objects is enabled. Hit OK. This will take a while. When that finishes you need to run the TAKEOWN command in an elevated command prompt. Simplest way to start that is to start command prompt normally, then right click the little icon thing on the taskbar, and right click the command prompt text in there. Then, you click Run as Administrator in that. Change to the drive letter of the external drive inside the command prompt. You'll then need to do this command: code:

I highly recommend this program, the Jumplist Launcher. I suggest adding it to the OP. It allows you to create customizable taskbar-pinned menus using the built-in Windows 7 jumplist functionality. It's the answer to my question posted earlier about having a pinned games menu. It's a single executable.

Did iTunes always have a jumplist, or did that update that added appletv 3 support and broke pre syncing that came out today add it?

well i'm glad to say that I finally spent money on a Microsoft product besides hardware (my keyboard)... i'm happy to give my money to Microsoft for Windows 7; it's so loving much better than Vista. they deserved it. their best product since WinXP or Win 98 easily. -edit- My sister bought a Toshiba laptop for school work at the end of September (I dunno the exact date, but definitely after July 26th) that came with Vista Home Premium; this should be included in the "Express Upgrade" deal that Microsoft has with manufacturers correct? Is there a product listing that I could check to make sure before I hassle her for model numbers/serial numbers/proof-of-purchase/etc? chomper fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Oct 29, 2009 |

How do upgrade discs actually work? Does it just simply see what I have installed and then proceed to do a clean install? I'm dreading having to find my XP discs, install XP, then install 7. I'm on RC right now

Erwin posted:Not sure if it works in 7 but in XP if a user was set to automatically log in, holding shift while clicking log out got you to a login screen. It sounds like you have greater problems and that might not help you, but it's all I got. That would get me to the log in screen, but I still couldn't log in as admin. Bit the bullet and reinstalled, wasn't a huge hassle as it was only a couple hours of time on a fresh install yesterday.

There is no product list, you're eligible based on when you purchased it, so it pretty much boils down to the stuff you need to hassle her about. http://laptops.toshiba.com/windows7upgrade-learnmore

I built a new machine a couple of months ago, got Vista Home Premium 64bit and it came with a free Win 7 Home Premium upgrade. I'm a retard and didn't pay attention to it before though, and now it seems like the only way to get my upgrade is to order it from Microsoft and wait 6-8 weeks for them to mail it to me. I just assumed I'd be able to download my upgrade when 7 came out. Is there anyway I can download an iso from the OP and use the upgrade key I have?

If you actually have your upgrade key to hand then knock yourself out and download the ISO.

It's always annoyed me how Irfanview doesn't support Unicode filenames. I guess there's a hacky plugin to do it now, but come on it's been more than 10 years since a Windows that natively supports unicode came out, it is way past time to get with the program.

nrr posted:Yeah it came with a seperate Win 7 Upgrade option insert with it's own key. If it's in the format xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx then I think it'll be safe to assume it's a working upgrade key. You can download the ISO from Microsoft here (it's a public link given by Gizmondo, Digital River are supposed to give this link out to those have problems with the .exe installer). Also has a guide on making a bootable DVD or Flash drive. Unfortunately I don't know if this ISO is 32 or 64 bit, I think it's 64bit. Alternatively download from a torrent site, making sure to check the hashes. Unless you're wanting to install Ultimate, you'll need to delete some file in the sources folder to make the ballot screen pop up during installation offering different variants of Windows.

I'm moving from Vista to 7 and I want to do a clean install (to get rid of any bloat I might have accumulated over the past year). What's the best way to make sure I re-install all of the programs I currently have? Should I just copy down a list of my programs from the add/remove program list?

Well this is a goofy problem I've encountered. If I leave my computer alone for a few hours and return it is in a psuedo locked up state. I can move the mouse around but nothing actually works. The autohidden taskbar won't come down or alt+ctrl+del won't pop up the relevant screens. This didn't occur during the Beta so I have no idea what the hell is going on.

For video, you're better with the official drivers, but get them from the website, as chances are the disk had an old version.
