Does SkyDrive integrate into Windows 7 at all? It would be really nice to just right-click a file and say "Send to SkyDrive". I'm guessing that 3rd party tools might exist but I'm wondering if Windows 7 comes with anything built-in. Also, does anybody use BitLocker encryption? It sounds decently useful especially if your motherboard has a TPM module (which mine doesn't, doh).

Tagra posted:The last four days of event log are full of "The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations." I don't actually know what that means, but I'm assuming it's somehow related. I am running TVersity as a media server for the Xbox, I don't know if that's the server it's referring to or not. RAM usage seemed normal though. You most likely have a bad driver that's leaking nonpaged memory.

So my taskbar thumbnail preview panes disappeared the other day along with all Aero effects for minimizing windows and such. I've made sure that my Windows score or whatever is high enough (4.3 with performance bottleneck at my onboard graphics), and all the effects are turned on as far as Windows will tell me... But after disabling, re-enabling, and rebooting everything I could find on it I can't get my preview panes or Aero effects back. It's no big deal that I've lost them, but at this point it's just the principle of the matter that Windows is not playing by the rules. Any ideas on things I've missed? Edit: when I right click the start menu > properties, the "use Aero Peak to preview the desktop" is checked but greyed out.

Just that it was the first one to run out of memory? Is there a way in just the base Task Manager to see which process might be leaking, or do I have to go get the program talked about in that article? It still took it a month and a half to crash, and when I go to the final version I'll be updating everything again, but now I'm curious to see which one is loving up.

I've just updated to RTM (Ultimate, I was lazy about changing ei, and there's a what, $30 difference anyway?). Considering I've just come from the RC it's fast. As in, "oh, you're done... already? But I just clicked on that..." fast.

No matter what I type in the Start Menu search box (even something like "P" for "Paint"), I get "No items matched your search." Is that something to do with an indexing setting or did I mess up my install somehow? edit: This is a completely new install, Ultimate 32-bit version, on an Asus 901 netbook. This is also my first time installing Windows 7 so I don't know if this is normal behavior.

You can add the "Paged Pool" and "Nonpaged pool" columns to the "Process" tab in Task manager, although I don't think you'll notice the leak by doing this.

Also is anyone else having a problem with downloading in Firefox? Downloads seem to "stick" until you actually click the download progress window, then they start back up again. Never happened to me in XP.

Never happened to me in XP. The only time I notice this is when I'm seeing the mini-preview from the task bar - Firefox downloads don't update in real time in the preview. If they're maximized on my desktop, I do not see anything like you describe. Of course, it's just the preview having a problem, the download never actually stops.

For obvious reasons, the previews of these windows will also not update until you show the actual window. Assuming change my name has the download window minimized, this is the reason for the "hang" and it isn't actually hurting download times. If the window is visible but not active, something else is going on.

I've started having a problem wherein my laptop's keyboard randomly stops working until I reboot. I thought it was just the keyboard itself failing because everything else on this piece of poo poo is disintegrating now that it's two weeks out of warranty, but I tried opening the onscreen keyboard and it just hangs at a blank window indefinitely, leading me to believe that the keyboard driver might be loving up. I've been running Windows 7 since January and am only just now having this problem, but the only new thing I've installed recently is Virtual Clone Drive and I don't see how that would gently caress with the keyboard drivers. Has anyone else run into this?

I was hoping we would upgrade soonish but apparently we just placed a huge order for a whole bunch of new Dells with Vista. Also we just bought a bunch of Mac Pros with Leopard since apparently we couldn't wait for Snow Leopard either.

Flash/Quicktime/Acrobat work fine on mine. Running Win7 x64, on a SSD Acrobat loads less than a second. For Flash make sure you have the latest video drivers installed. For NVidia based laptop video cards you can get the latest Win7 Forcewares here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/

Tagra posted:I went to open windows explorer and the list to the left only had "Libraries" with a magnifying glass spinning over it. No computer, no subfolders, nothing. My library folders were there, and if I right clicked explorer on the bar the jump list was there and they all opened correctly (except that the list on the left was still empty), but if I went to "computer" from any of those folders, it would lead to a blank screen and the loading bar up top would fill up and then just sit there. This hasn't happened to me since I flattened and installed the RTM, but before that it happened occasionally. It might still happen to me eventually, who knows. Anyway, I think in my case it was related to Explorer thumbnails, and maybe specifically Haali's media splitter (x64). It seemed to happen a lot whenever I would browse folders with certain video files. Whenever it happened, I was able to kill rundll32.exe (or was it dllhost?) and everything began working again instantly.

revolther posted:Dear god don't let the word get out on this or we'll never see a decent version of Acrobat. I dunno, ever since version 7 Acrobat loads have gotten faster and faster on both the reader and pro versions. Acrobat has always been fast for me, even before I had the SSD. The things that are slow to load are understandably things like Photoshop or Illustrator, I haven't had slow Acrobats loads since version 6. On a side note the following Firefox theme fits in pretty well with Windows 7's Aero theme: http://arvidaxelsson.se/kempelton/ Also Windows Key ++ is my new favorite shortcut, I've been waiting for that feature ever since I saw it on OS X, though I wish I could zoom in/out with the mouse wheel like on a mac, this will be great during presentations.

On XP I used to like to create an unattend.txt file and move Documents and Settings to the D: drive, since I'm the sort of person who likes to format and reinstall occasionally, rather than bugger about, but mainly because my D: drive is my data drive and I don't want C: getting clogged up with crap. On Vista there was an XML file you could write that was fully documented by MS, burn to the CD and, well, it doesn't work, you still end up with C:\Users How would I go about this on Win7? I'd need to do it for both Users and ProgramData ProgramData is the particularly annoying one here, as it means I lose all my savegames when I reinstall if I forget about it, and the folder structure is so complicated these days I can never find them again anyway.

Are you talking about Dreamspark? Anyways, I have another question... Can you access Windows 7 remotely over the web? I'm very familiar with Remote Desktop but it's blocked at my work so I've been doing some research and it seems like two things exist: Remote Desktop Web Connection and Terminal Services Web (/tsweb directory) Are either of these available in Windows 7? Do they use regular HTTP(S)?
