What exactly is so valuable that you can't afford to miss it while the start menu is open for 3 seconds? If anything it takes up less screen real estate because it keeps all the Program Files stuff in the same window instead of popping up trees all over the screen.

Has anyone here tried to share a printer from their Windows 7 desktop to an OSX laptop? I have both computers connected to a router and they can share files using smb://, but the printer doesn't show up in OSX. I've enabled sharing in OSX and in 7, as well as specifically enabling sharing for the printer. The firewall is off. Is there something else I need to do?

Shadowgate posted:It is somewhat true though. Sure Windows 7 has some very nice changes and new features but they didn't change all that much. Uh Listen, you should know by now that just because your start menu isn't in virtual reality doesn't mean they didn't change a whole hell of a lot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7

Jerk McJerkface posted:The Netflix app for Vista is just a default module in Vista MC. It isn't part of 7's, but the thirdparty app some guy wrote for 7 works, but it doesn't actually integrate with 7 MC when you play a move, it just launches a browser window so you can't use your remote. I can definitely use my remote with a Netflix browser window.

I have a Creative X-FI card and I've been getting a TON of crashes and stuttering in Modern Warfare 2, which I think might be related to the sound card. Does anyone know if Windows Update will install its own drivers for the card yet, or am I stuck with the ones from Creative that haven't been updated since April? I might just rip the card out of my computer and turn the Realtek chip back on - I can't loving believe how awful Creative's support is. Isn't the X-FI still the newest brand they have?

Galmar posted:Also, would this also be the case if i put XP SP2/3 on instead of the Win7 install? I'm sure my version of Win7 doesn't have XP compatibility but I plan on leaving lots of old games installed (Baldurs gate II, Fallout 2, Jagged Alliance 2 etc..) Those games all work with Windows 7. As far as games go, I can't think of a single one that works on XP but not Windows 7. For Fallout 2 you'll need to do a little work to fix the graphics corruption and performance on modern computers: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/Fallout_Series/fallout_2_colors_problem/_/1

Be thankful for EDID support because for two years Ubuntu wouldn't recognize the EDID of my 22" LCD and would boot up to a giant letter L filling the screen because it thought the screen was 2mm x 1mm.

Sir Nigel posted:Besides hardware acceleration, what is the difference between Haali and EVR that would make one superior over the other? Uh I think you're downplaying the significance of hardware acceleration here chief. There is no "besides hardware acceleration, what makes it better?" when it comes to playing video in HD resolutions.

Rubiks Pubes posted:Crossposted from the Mac OSX thread... Why do I have to manually enter the IP address of my 10-year-old HP printer connected to my Windows 7 machine into CUPS even though all the appropriate sharing settings are on? It's a mystery! God bless anyone who's taken the thousands of man-hours to get OSX-Windows 7 networking working with eachother.

fishmech posted:Many scanners consider that program malware or adware, so why bother installing it? Isn't that circular reasoning? Scanners have false positives, surely there must be some way of determining if it's actual malware or adware rather than rely on a scanner.

fishmech posted:USB -> PS/2 converters only work if the USB keyboard in question has a PS/2 mode. They don't have active conversion of signals for the most part. I've never seen a keyboard that didn't do USB -> PS/2. I've bought lovely $10 keyboards from Walmart that came with an adapter.

Forgive me if this has been covered earlier in the thread, but I'm having problems with iTunes 64 freezing up a couple seconds after it loads. A google search gives me a bunch of results for different issues, but no satisfactory solutions. I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit and iTunes 64bit. Would an older version of iTunes help? I didn't have this problem running the RC of Windows 7. Edit: It freezes if I have my iPod Touch plugged in, and if it's unplugged it'll freeze when I plug it in.
