Forgive me for asking something that's probably been asked in the past 100+ pages, but I didn't see it in the OP: If for whatever reason you're nervous about killing your 32-bit Vista install and you would like to dual-boot with a CLEAN 64-bit Win7 install on a totally different drive/partition, is that possible? I know you can't upgrade from 32 to 64, but I didn't see anything about dual-booting full installs.

I've heard about the 7Zip integration.. but only "of" it, what does it do? Does it integrate like how windows explorer does? I've got it installed and done the "start as admin" thing, but I don't see anything happening.. What should it be doing? (I know this is a poo poo question, but it seems that with windows 7 we're finally starting to see decent integration happening across the board and I wanted to know more)

Oh god, any ideas on when will Realtek sort its poo poo out with Windows 7 drivers? I installed it on my notebook and it has a "realtek HD audio" chip or whatever, and every single sound brings horrible crackling and popping with it. Installed the lastest drivers (released a few days ago) and no luck. Messed around with settings and everything, only managed to barely reduce it to tolerable levels.

Is anyone having any issues with IDE devices used via JMicron PCI in Windows 7? Currently my DVD drive works but device manager lists the JMicron onboard PCI device as unknown, which is annoying. If I install the latest version of JRaid my DVD drive doesn't work at all and the unknown device is still there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this (aside from getting an SATA drive)? Other than that everything is working pretty well. It's really an annoyance more than anything. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Oct 2, 2009 |

Is this an actual PCI (not PCI-E or PCI-X) IDE expansion card, or some device onboard? Are you using 32bit or 64bit Windows 7? Did you run Vista on this machine before? Windows 7 has pretty much the same driver model as Vista, so almost all drivers that worked in Vista should work in 7. Usually RAID controllers have a RAID and non-RAID driver, you'd want the non-RAID one loaded for optical (DVD) drive support.

I just figured it out. The device in question is Abit's Uguru utility. Installing the software for it fixed the problem. Everything is running smoothly now.

Howdy ya'll, I'm brand spankin' new to this here Windows 7 and so far I'm having a ball. But here's the thing: back when I had XP, I actually, like a moron, went and bought Nero MediaHome 4 for my media server junk. I actually like the software, surprise surprise, and it hasn't turned out so great on Win7. Since I'm stubborn and when I buy a license I have to be using it or I feel like I'm wasting my money, can someone tell me if there is something I missed? Or if this software is even supported for 7 yet? Like, for the displayed devices it's showing Nero as 127.0.0.1 as a device on the network but it never did that in XP. I'm just wondering if anyone had a heads up on this or if I have to, sadly, retire MediaHome for TVersity (even though some of you would prefer that :| )

IE does it just fine, unless you meant strictly third party products. I'd expect Firefox to get it before the official launch date, maybe a little after, but you know it has to be coming.

LooseChanj posted:I'd really like to know the reason for this. CYA and laziness. They don't want to deal with the possibility of conflicts, however rarely they occur, so they simply exclude it from support. Gives them an easy out from a support call. There's items like this all over software licenses, it's really quite ridiculous.

Sometimes waking from sleep (about half the time), the fan on my Nvidia 260 spins up to 100% and stops reporting temperatures and fan speeds to any hardware monitoring apps (any instances just disappear). I can hear the fan going full blast which is why I am clued in on this issue. Everything works fine other than that (3D graphics are still running smooth). I am running the latest video drivers (190.62) and the newest BIOS (F11) for my mobo (GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard). I installed the RTM version of Windows 7 ultimate. Does anyone know what is causing this? Is it a bug? Incapable hardware? I am hoping it is just a driver bug that will get ironed out eventually but if anyone knows any fixes that would help I would love to hear.

I will never understand the OS bickery. Is it like penis sizes? Everyone is insecure about it so they act like theirs are huge? I had a macfag for a roommate freshman year. He went on and on about how Apple was overtaking Microsoft when Vista was released and "no one uses it because it has critical failures and they're rushing to patch it only it won't help their problems. OSX never has this problem" blah blah blah

Is the info for upgrade editions in the OP still current? I preordered an upgrade version. I have a Vista key from MSDN. Can I just do a clean install, or do I have to install it over my Vista install? If I install it over my Vista install, does it do it like a clean install, or does it try to incorporate my existing poo poo into a big loving mess?
