Using your display with DVI connection by any chance? Hook up analog until the install is done and you've installed latest Nvidia driver. Then switch it back to DVI.

Don't ask :v:

For lack of a better place to put this:
I'm going through my windows.old folder and deleting everything I either don't need or have already moved over. However, I've run into a problem with the SecureROM folder in \AppData\Roaming.

Google "delete securom files", there are instructions all over the place.

I donīt know if this is w7 specific but Iīve noticed this now.
Whenever I move things like one folder from a share to another drive a "thumbs.db" file is created and I get a dialogue box asking if I want to move this system file. Itīs really annoying. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? (I use the "details" view in explorer).

Run gpedit.msc and go to User Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows components - Windows explorer, enable "Turn off caching of thumbnails in blah blah" setting.

This seemed to work for me. And it was RC that started doing this for me, build 7057 did not.

Ugh, they can't possibly strip IE completely out. Half the applications embed IE to display their help/parts of program window. This can't be more than just cosmetic change. It would break so many things it would be quite funny. Are there any more details on it somewhere other than that vague article?
