fishmech posted:The only possible upgrade installs from XP are clean installs, the upgrade disc allows you to do this. So wait, then why would anyone buy a "full version" instead of an upgrade disc?

I'm having trouble installing a printer driver in 64bit W7, which I was able to accomplish just fine in the 32bit RC. I have two HP printers on another PC in the network. LaserJet 1000 is no longer supported by HP, so that's fine (would be nice if it worked like it does in 32bit, but oh well). But the CM1015 PCL 6 doesn't work either. I've gone to HP's website, found the "windows 7 64 bit" version drivers for PCL 6, and unzipped them to my computer. But when I try to use W7's add new printer tool, it says it can't find appropriate drivers via Windows Update (the RC happily accomplished this for both printers without a hitch). Even when I point the File Needed dialog to the directory I unzipped the .inf files, it says it can't find the appropriate drivers.

Woke it up today, 20 mins later I get the same errors so I guess my problem isn't the one they hotfixed I was having this trouble with a TB drive too; I updated my BIOS and updated the drivers for my Gigabyte motherboard and the error message stopped popping up. Check your mobo manufacturer's website for updates, I'd say.

m2pt5 posted:No. In other words, since this confused me a few months ago: yes, you can use an upgrade CD to install the OS on top of XP. You just won't be able to in-place install to keep your programs installed in registry, etc; but their physical files will be preserved in \Windows.old when you do a clean install.

I'm using a dual monitor setup. Right now, Trillian (and other) popup messages appear on the bottom corner of my primary monitor, which is a problem when I'm running something fullscreen. Is there some way to change one or the other to default to display on my second monitor?

. You could always set the primary to be the other monitor and then move the taskbar to the secondary monitor. Not sure if that would launch games on the secondary monitor, but you could probably get that working somehow too.

Essobie posted:Quoting this for a new page, since I would like the answer as well. Samsung makes a nice laptop, but the amount of garbage they install before you get it is insanity. I'm almost certain you can. After my laptop's install of Vista got borked, I burned a new ISO of Vista and reinstalled it with the CD key printed on the bottom. I can't imagine they've changed their policy in two years; what would be the alternative?

vlack posted:I have a Compaq desktop that's a few years old which I just upgraded to Windows 7 from XP. Unlike other Win7 computers, it does a bright-red flash every time I get a UAC prompt - other Win7 computers do dim the screen to gray before showing the prompt, but I've never seen such a bright, obnoxious flash before. That seems like it might be a video (card?) issue. I've seen that happen before with other programs.

Has Secunia PSI been worthless for anyone else? It either gets stuck at Preparing to Scan or Preparing Results and never actually moves on from there, for me. fake edit: Apparently it's been broken by Windows Update? The workaround displays my scan result but the program is essentially frozen after that -- I can't see any way to update programs, they're just all grayed out. The older versions still supported by Secunia and linked in that thread don't work for me, because they don't support proxies, unlike 3.0. As much as everyone is saying this is such a great program -- am I SOL?
