So I'll just use the built in firewall and download MSE? I'm coming from XP, which was not known for having the best built in security, I take it that Microsoft has improved since then?

Zorilla posted:Even with XP, the best choices were Microsoft Security Essentials and the built-in firewall. As of XP Service Pack 2, the built-in firewall worked pretty much the same as it does in Windows 7 with the exception of network location support. Ah ok, guess I was behind the times a bit. Glad to see this will be easy then with Windows 7.

Just installed a new copy of Windows 7 Home pro on a new PC. I've installed the latest video card drivers (HD 4890) and the text still looks blurry and the refresh rate seems to be bothering me. For whatever reason it lists the refresh rate as 59HZ, if I set it to 60 it's back at 59 when I check again, where in the world does this number come from? The desktop graphics right now look like I've gone to a previous version of Windows, not upgraded to the latest and greatest. Tested Fallout 3 and it seems to display fine, it's the desktop that's does not seem right. Edit: the monitor is set to its native resolution as well.

You have to go into properties to choose the aero version of windows default. Some drivers will do this for you but ATI does not. Yeah that was it, thanks. Whatever them it was on looked like crap. New problem: I hooked up my LCD TV via the HDMI port on the video card. It'll play sound on it only if I unlug the main speakers. How can I get it to play on both simultaneously? Also, how do I make the DVD image itself take up the whole screen? If I full screen the player the image is quite a bit smaller than the size of the screen. Edit: I know this is nitpicky but it displays the top few pixels of the task bar when it is hidden. Is there a way to have it be completely hidden when it goes down?

What is going on with the USB access speeds in Win 7? I'm trying to copy less than a gig of data to a flash drive and the write speed keeps getting slower. It will take hours at this rate.

I'm trying to copy 2.5gb to a USB drive and the transfer speed falls until its too slow to be practical. I've updated the motherboard drivers and this flash drive worked with XP, what gives? Is it supposed to take an hour to copy 2.5 gigs? Edit: I'm impatient, it ended up taking about 15 minutes. Guess the windows time remaining estimator is still broken.

I know this is a simply question but I've yet to figure it out. When playing video files ( .avi or whatnot) on Windows 7, be it with the Windows media player or media player classic, the video does not scale to full screen on my main monitor, ie there's a large black border surrounding the video when I go to fullscreen. I can tell it could scale the horizontal aspect further but I can't figure out how to make it do so. Edit: Nevermind, I'm impatient and couldn't wait five seconds before determining that it was the video source. Binary fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Jan 14, 2010 |
