Death of Rats posted:Is there no longer a seperate RTM for Europe? I just tried to find a copy and they don't seem to exist anymore. I read somewhere that it would be obsolete, but that doesn't help if I have to reinstall the Euro version when it arrives anyway. Even if they still had a separate Europe version with no IE, the key would be valid for a rest-of-the-world version of thew same level (i.e. both Home PRemium, or Ultimate or whatever).

I'm having a bit of a strange problem, and I'm aware that the fault may not be found with Win7 64-bit RTM. However, when playing audio via either WMP or Winamp, browsing in Winamp becomes a rather choppy experience. When doing stuff (browsing up/down, opening a new tab, entering something in the address bar, clicking links or even typing this), firefox just freezes for 1 or 2 seconds a few times a minute. Sometimes it shows the 'not responding' message in the title bar as well, but not all the time. When I close either media player, firefox runs smooth as silk. Winamp's thread priority is set to its lowest setting, priority class is set to idle. I've set the priority of Winamp at the lowest possible setting in task manager, and assigned both applications to different cores, but this made no difference. I have the following system, as far as I'm aware with the most recent drivers: http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A300-1SR/1062456/toshibaShop/false/ Link is in Dutch, because apparently this thing is not sold in other countries or something. Anyone else who's experiencing something similar? Any pointers to where this problem may be coming from are greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to use 2 different drivers for one device in 2 different USB slots? For example, I plug it in the first slot, driver A is used, I plug it into the second, driver B is used. I seem to recall being able to do just that in XP, but 7 just uses the already installed driver.

Ahh, yes, that was a result of Windows XP not finding the existing installed driver for the device with the same id on a different port. I guess Windows 7 is smarter about that. I messed with XBCD, but never got it to work with my wireless 360 gamepad. I just use the native driver and xpadder (http://www.xpadder.com/).

Found my first majorly annoying bug with win7(64), seems that the current gen of intellipoint drivers cause the mousewheel to scroll up at a billion miles an hour, but down requires some herculean effort in some applications (so far I've noticed it in winamp, tweetdeck, steam) Googled about to make sure this isn't just me, seeing quite a few references to it but no fix as of yet, feel free to point one out to me if you notice it. Most annoying thing about it is that it's affecting the scrollwheel on my wacom mouse as well after installing it. Motherfuckers.

giZm posted:Is it possible to have Xpadder automatically load profiles depending which game you start? Because I only really need the XBCD drivers for one game, the others are fine with the original MS ones. Where do you get the XBCD drivers, and how do you install them in Windows 7? I need them for Trackmania, because I want to steer with the triggers. With the MS drivers, the steering is backwards: the left trigger makes you turn right, the right trigger makes you turn left. I haven't found any other solution for that than using the XBCD drivers.

I'm having really wierd issue with Windows 7 RTM. I'm using it as a HTPC. I have an Ubunutu file server with an SMB share full of my music, I just spent a couple days with Picard getting it all properly tagged, and moved from my old HTPC (XP box) to my new server. I point my Music library to the network share, and 75% of my music comes up correctly in WMC, but for some reason about a thousand songs come up tagless. Every other PC I map the share on see the tags, just the Win7 box refuses to see them. They're all folder organized, so I can go through and use the WMP "get file info" tool to tag it all, but I already spent hours fixing it all. Is there a bug with Win7 and tagging? Maybe I need a different tagging format of the Ubunutu share is doing something odd. Even if I use Tag and Rename to fix them, they still don't show up properly until I actually use WMP's tagging function.

http://www.citadelindustries.net/readydriverplus/ This does it automatically quote:Windows 7 RC1 installs a hidden 200mb partition purely for booting the OS. ReadyDriverPlus needs to be installed there. This is tricky and I'll add screenshots later, but here is how you do it:

Yeah, I couldn't be precise enough with the thumb sticks. I'm not a fan of using any kind of joystick for driving games in general, steering and throttle/break should be on separate devices. For Trackmania, the steering can be done with analog inputs, but throttle/break is always on or off with nothing in between. Putting steering on the triggers and throttle/break on some easily accessible buttons seemed like a good idea, and it turned out it was. It took some getting used to, but not that much, and I like it much better than using the thumb sticks. uXs fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Sep 16, 2009 |

It evidently isn't an absolute requirement. It's been since 7000, it's installed if you just select the drive, if you manually create partitions it's not installed. It's a 200 meg partition that's there so you can BitLock your boot drive without having to gently caress with partitions, but I guess it works for that. Not required.

So my system is currently dual booting on the RC to Win 7 but has WinXP on a different drive. I purchased the Win 7 Home Premium upgrade and it looks like everything will be valid. I just want to setup with a minimum of fuss and preserve that for future installs. Ive never messed with ghosting/cloning. What would be the best way to do this? I want to wipe my drive install XP and then store an image that can easily be restored to a blank drive should I need to start the install process again. After XP 32 is installed, Ill run the clean install option of Win 7 64 bit and then be good to go. I wish MS still allowed the disc media checks for upgrades like their older stuff did. I will never go back to WinXP as I like Win7 so much, its just gonna be a pain to install XP first, just to turn around and then slap Win 7 in.

I was thinking of upgrading my work desktop with Windows 7 RTM using one of my Technet Keys however once 7 comes out I'll want to switch it to a purchased key, is there an easy way to change product keys post install? Is this a legit use of a Technet Key? I don't want to use a RC install/key because as far as I know that will require a reinstall.

Casao posted:It's been since 7000, it's installed if you just select the drive, if you manually create partitions it's not installed. Ah. I habitually create the partitions manually, I suppose it would be a good idea to back up everything and do a clean install (letting Windows do the partitions automatically) when I get the RTM, then.

Just install the RTM and don't use any key at all until you buy the retail copy. You can go 120 days without a valid product key.

I realize how  this is, but it's annoying and as far as I can tell, there's no (googlable) registry hack for this. I'd much rather have the old style context menu be the default action for right click, and the new much less useful one be the shift-right click. If anyone has any ideas, or even a starting point in the registry that I can mess around with in a VM, that would be awesome.

MrBigglesworth posted:So my system is currently dual booting on the RC to Win 7 but has WinXP on a different drive. The upgrade edition doesn't give you rights to keep using your XP install, and it will want you to install on top of a working and activated XP install. Unless you have a second XP licence kicking about somewhere you won't be (legally) dual booting Win 7 and XP. Probably should've got Win 7 Pro, XP mode in that works really well, much more convinient than dual booting.
