Sorry if this has already been covered, but I've only read the past five or so pages of this. I'm having some terrible microphone issues in Left 4 Dead since I installed Windows 7 Pro. I disabled the setting where it mutes all other sounds by 50%, but now whenever I talk in game people complain that it sounds like I'm talking under water. I'm pretty sure others have had this problem before. Anyway, I'm running the latest Sound Audigy 2 ZS drivers, but I also used them when I had XP Pro, and my mic sounded fine. I also tried re-calibrating through Sound settings but no dice. I don't know what the gently caress is going on really.

It sounds like that in ingame microphone test (choppy / underwater noises), but whenever I did the test ingame in CS: Source it was completely fine. I have no idea why. Everyone said I sounded normal in CS: Source as well...

So every time windows loads up, Easy Tune 6 boots because it's a good overclock software. Anyway, loving windows security warning comes up every time telling me that it's messing with my computer. Is there a way to disable this warning for ET6 alone? I don't necessarily want to lower my security level, just make it ignore ET6. Along with other programs which I frequently use..

Factor Mystic posted:I'm going to assume that by "windows security warning" you mean UAC Elevation Prompt. There is a difference. If I am right, stop it from starting itself when you log in (Startup tab of System Configuration), and create a new task in Task Scheduler that starts it with elevated permissions when you log in. Ok, now how do I do the same for other programs? Winamp, etc?

I thought I read somewhere that Internet Explorer wouldn't be included with Win 7 due to some kind of monopoly on the market share? Or at least it would prompt you to check out alternatives? This didn't happen at all for me.

Umm. For some reason one of my harddrives is now telling me that it is write-protected, but I was able to save to it mere days ago. I tried changing the permissions to allow full control, but it gives me the same warning. Is this thing going bad, or did Windows 7 do something?

Holy poo poo. Windows automatically defrags your hard drives weekly from a fresh install. You don't have to mess with any settings or anything. Going from XP to 7 freaking rocks.

4 Day Weekend posted:The 'Play To' function works fine? Mind if I ask what kind of mkv you played? All the ones I've tried are pretty big (blu ray rips), so that might have something to do with it. This. WMP12 uses the Windows default codecs that come with Win 7, which are pretty terrible, even if you install your own codecs. So far, I haven't figured out how to turn them off, and I can't find anywhere that explains it either. You'll definitely want CoreAVC if you're running anything less than a decent dual core. Other than that, I use CCP's MPC Harmonica to play 720p or 1080p x264 files. It works very well. After installing CCP you'll want to uncheck H.264 under ffdshow, though. Unless you have a great processor who can handle it. CoreAVC will take over when you uncheck it. Johnny B. Goode fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Sep 25, 2009 |

aksuur posted:Anyone having problems with video? I tried installing CCCP but it didn't help. Same thing happened with me until I installed CCCP and CoreAVC. It's probably using the Windows default codecs, which are terrible. Go into settings and make sure CoreAVC is an "external codec" and ffdshow does the audio.

Biodome posted:I have an old computer with an AMD Athlon ( In addition to what others said, it could be your network if you're streaming to your television. Yes, CoreAVC makes it where you can view 1080p on shittier processors, but streaming them is a whole separate bag. If you are streaming and the video is laggish, or of the audio/video goes out of sync, you might want to drop the bitrate down a bit and change it from 5.1 audio to stereo.

Alright, my harddrive did that thing again where it's read only, but I did the same procedure through cmd.exe listed here, which fixed it. Why does this keep happening? This harddisk isn't raid, it's pretty old, and it's an IDE. I'm about to replace the goddamn thing anyway, but I wish I knew why this was happening. Maybe it's when Win 7 auto-defrags? The other SATA drives are fine, but this one is causing me trouble.

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

You guys keep talking about having goddamn Windows parties, and I know you get a free copy and all, but is this just basically everyone trying to scam the system to get a free copy? In other words, are any of you actually hosting a party? And how would Microsoft know if you didn't?

Footboy posted:I had some issues with my Creative X-Fi sound card last night, and after several failed attempts at finding drivers, the solution the following morning was "didn't I buy a motherboard with onboard sound?" I've had major problems with my Audigy 2 ZS, which is a Creative product. They have Windows 7 drivers out except they suck dick. Also for some reason my on-board sound isn't working, so I'm just going to go down to Target and get a new sound card soon.

Is anyone else getting some really lovely performance with VLC Media player? I know it uses its native codecs and all that, but regardless of what I play, every edge looks rough and the detail is horrible. It looks like I'm watching an 80s television set where you can see all of the vertical lines.

I never really had any problems with vista on my desktop, but I know Windows 7 seems to run allot faster. No complaints from me really at all. Just glad Windows 7 wasn't crap like Vista kinda was. Seems like all anyone did for that launch is complain. It wasn't crap though. Most of the people complaining never used it.

Ok, so I have a problem. I bought a netbook a few days ago, and it came with a stock 310GB hdd. It came with a Win 7 Home Premium x86 installed. I loaded it up, put in the serial on the bottom of the laptop, and I checked to see if there was a recovery disk on the hard disk that I could use for the SSD that I purchased to replace the current drive. There was none. So I used a Win 7 Home Premium x64 copy that I had gotten off of MSDNAA way back when when I installed the SSD. Yes it's x64, but that shouldn't matter at all, right? Anyway, when I went to put in the serial to make it genuine, the serial had already been entered onto the other drive the first time I booted it up. loving d'oh So now I only have one day left on this thing. How do I get the serial replaced? If I call Microsoft support, will they wipe it for me and allow me to use it a second time?
