Help And Support

Oct 27, 2009

I use Help and support frequently. Finding the answer to a problem is one thing, finding it a second time is another. When you're dealing with web pages it's easy to find what you've found a second time. You just copy the URL and paste it somewhere so it can be clicked on in the future, but not so with Help and support.

The only way I know of to find a particular page again is to write down my steps (like in a word processor) and then retrace them. Just wondering if I'm missing something or if there is an easier way?

OS 9.2 Does Not Support WPA

Mar 26, 2010

Tonight I will be configuring a newly-purchased Sony VPCCW290X with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.Almost by accident, I have read/discovered that Windows 7 allegedly either doesn't work with WEP, or doesn't work well with WEP.Our home router is a Netgear WGR614 v9 (802.11g).The reason that we "have" to use WEP is that there is an old Mac laptop on the home network, running OS 9.2 (yes, this is OLD!) that does not support WPA. That is, OS 9.2 does not support WPA, and there is no hardware or patch available making it support WPA.So I've read dozens of threads in these forums about Windows 7 and WEP or WPA, and they just seem to be arguments over whether Windows 7 does or does not support WEP. All I want is a definitive set of instructions of how to get THAT computer to connect to our home network, using WEP.url...is a link to the specific computer, if that matters.I'd imagine that Windows 7 is "backwards compatible" enough to support WEP; I just want to get this new computer onto our home network.

32-bit Support 4gb RAM

Aug 19, 2009

I own a HP HDX-18 Notebook (it has 4GB RAM), and I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) not too long ago. The laptop was being problematic giving me a blue screen of death with a 'Power_Driver_State_Failure' message, so I figured it could be problems with driver compatibility. I formatted the hard drive again, and installed a 32bit version of windows 7.

When I right click and go to 'My Computer', it only acknowledges that 3gb out the 4gb ram is being used. Why is this? Is Windows 7 incapable of supporting up to 4gb ram? Do you guys think I'm better restoring the laptop to factory settings (Vista Home Premium) with the recovery CD?

Gameport Support

Jun 30, 2009

I have an asus p5ld2 motherboard with the realtek audio chipset, gameport, etc. I play several games that utilize a controller plugged into the gameport connector ( 1 of them is an old racing controller from a realrace 2 rc car racing sym) and I am inquiring/wondering if microsoft is or will support such a port or controller arraingement.

I see no controller listed as anything in the device listing, nor an unknown port, etc.

No 32-bit Colour Support

Dec 5, 2009

[The following are not the problems i faced on Windows XP]. I've connected my PC via HDMI 1.3!

I installed Windows 7 x64 in my PC. The real big problems i'm facing is with Nvidia.

1. First thing scaling didn't work i tried to fix it but no hopes. Good my monitor had built in scaling.

2. 59hz monitor refresh rate is another pain. My display works perfect in 60.001hz @ 1920x1200 resolution but it still resets to 59hz. Nvidia in there latest driver has informed that its the problem with Windows 7 OS. And microsoft says there is no theartical difference from 59hz and 60hz. Well there is huge difference especially when your play movies via DXVA in Media player classic home cinema where you your full colour range and shaders which causes some kind of boxing and not artifacts! Everything was proper in Windows Xp

3. Finally i don't about other but i've noticed massive difference in colour depth which is set to 32-bit but its showing only 24-bit colours which can easily be noticed in movies and games like Crysis. HDMI 1.2 supports upto 24-bit colour. But PC or PS3 has HDMI 1.3 which support 32-bit same as DVI connection. My monitor has upto 48-bit colour depth so the difference in colours while in 24-bit can be easily noticed.

Seriosuly is this a design flaw or enabling these would cause different problems. If any one has got a solution for this i would be happy to hear!

WMP12 .MOV Support

Jul 30, 2009

Is anyone else having problems with WMP12 acting weird when playing .MOV files?

Just try one of these here: NASA - NASA High Definition Video

When skipping ahead in the video WMP encounters an error for me.

Also why is there no association of .MOV with WMP on the web? I don't want to have to download QuickTime to watch apple trailers when WMP supposed plays .MOV files (albeit not very good it seems)

How To Use The WMP Tag Support Extender?

Nov 15, 2009

I downloaded the WMPTagSupportExtender.1.4.msi file and it installs fine, but when I use WMP, it doesn't seem to do anything. I hear that using this allows WMP to play .flac files along with the Win7Codecs, but nothing's happening. Am I supposed to enable something? If so, how do I do it?

Do All Flavors Of 7 Support RDC ?

Oct 27, 2009

Back in the XP days...the Home version didn't let you use Remote Desktop Connection to log into your work/home computer. Windows 7 site isn't exactly clear when comparing all versions of 7....can you use RDC on ANY version of 7, including the basic Home Premium version? Their comparison between all 3 doesn't mention RDC.

Virtual PC No Support 64 Bit OS ?

Nov 11, 2009

I wanted to install Vista to do a couple of tests. I don't have any spare machines, so I thought I'd install in a virtual machine under Windows 7. Windows Boot Manager gave me his message:

"Attempting to load 64 bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64bit mode."

Of course my computer is ok with 64bit (my primary OS is Win 7 64 bit).

Is Microsoft VPC not compatible with 64 bit guest systems?

Hebrew Support

Nov 8, 2009

I am planning to purchase a new computer system which will have Windows 7 (which I am not familiar with) installed on it.

On Microsoft's page comparing the different versions of Windows 7, one of the differences it check marks for Windows 7 Ultimate is "Work in the language of your choice and switch between any of 35 languages". This is not checked for Windows 7 Professional. Does this mean that to have full Hebrew support (as in all versions of Windows XP including Home) one must get "Ultimate" or is that only for some sort of additional language support? Doesn't Windows 7 Home Premium include the same kind of Hebrew support that XP Home does which would be adequate?

If no one is familiar with this, could someone running Windows 7 Home Premium go to the wherever the language/keyboard options are and see if one can select other languages & keyboards, particularly Hebrew?

Does Windows 7 64 Bit Support 32 Bit Still

Oct 6, 2011

I have some questions about windows 7 OS.

1) Does windows 7 64 bit support 32 bit still?

2) Can I use windows 64 bit with 4 modules of ddr3?

3) Can windows 7 64 bit configure 32 bit memory channels?

4) Can I expect windows 7 64 bit to configure 128 bit width memory on dual channels 4 modules, or 256 bit width on dual channel 4 modules? (32 bit x 4 ddr3 modules)

5) Do I need to get a windows 7 64 bit + 32 bit OS package to use both 32 bit and 64 bit width memory configure?

7) Can windows run in 64 bit mode while use 32 bit architecture?

8) Can windows 7 64 bit be restricted to 32 bit when needed? or will I need a package that has suport for both 32 bit and 64 bit?

I'm asking because most all games I check on play with 32 bit os and only need 64 bit for DX11 graphics. I think one OS that can run both 32 and 64 bit with a click or switch users could be what I am looking for.

Add A2DP Support To Windows 7?

Jun 28, 2009

Windows 7 came with no A2DP support and MS asked bluetooth hardware manufacturer to add this feature in driver upgrade. All bluetooth hardware on laptop where most of the time we need A2DP are made by Broadcomm (widcomm software), Toshiba or CSR. The last 2 manufacturer seem to have A2DP in Vista which should work in W7 but for Broadcomm nothing around.

No Audio Support? Firewire?

Jan 10, 2009

I like the snippet tool, about time, wish there was a key shortcut, similar to OS X -

Anyway, I see in device driver that FIREWIRE sets up fine (TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) on my INTEL motherboard, but the device, high end Mackie firewire device, does not work.

Installed the MACKIE ASIO driver and nothing, not even a POP UP saying NEW DEVICE found.

This is a shame if this turns out to be true as the lack of Vista driver (more than one year after Vista came out), made me go to a Mac for the past year.

Was hoping the vista driver would work, especially since it's a standard ASIO audio driver for Vista.

Win 7 NIC Card Support Lacking

Feb 22, 2009

Basic question: Does Windows 7 have built in drivers for NIC cards? I am trying to install Win 7 to a barebones Shuttle K45 system. Win 7 installs seamlessly, but cannot connect to the internet. NIC card light is flashing but no driver. When I try to load drivers from the CD that came with the MB, it complains that it does not know the Win 7 OS so no drivers are installed.

Without internet access I can not send MS feedback or get updates.

I installed XP, but Win 7 will not do an upgrade to XP. XP works fine. Installed Vista Ultimate and it works fine, NIC and hardware is all OK with these two OS systems. It is just a problem with getting driver into WIN 7 that will allow a Generic Marvell Yukon Chipset based Ethernet Controller to communicate with Router.

Any ideas on how I can proceed so I can test Win 7 on this new machine?

Dell XPS 720 Drivers Support

Dec 28, 2009

This PC should be good to upgrade but what are the exact manufactures parts that are used so I can get a list of drivers that work. I have looked at the dell driver page but it is not what I needed because it wont tell you who the manufacture is. I tried calling them but since this is not a question that can be answered but a flash card that was a waist of an hour.

I am running RAID 0 now and I want to know what driver I should use. I am almost sure that it is a nVidia driver. I don't know.

Also can I change my BIOS out from the one that is installed?

Microsoft NForce3 Support

Mar 9, 2009

Looks like Microsoft listened, because with the new 7048 Build they have windows drivers for nforce 3 chipsets, particularly the networking controller that we havent had support for. So glad they were able to get us a driver! Not sure if nvidia had anything to do with it since it was not off their site, it just recognized it and installed automatically.

So to anyone else that has avoided the beta, or is using a PCI Network card, now you can pull it out and use the native driver with the 7048 build.

How Many Cores Will Win7 Support?

Jul 17, 2009

I have an HP Z800 with Dual W5580's and 48GB of memory. As many of you know, you can enable the "Hyperthreading" to get 16 virtual cores.

Does anyone know if Win 7 will see all of these cores?
If not does anyone know of a Vista or Win 7 hack that will allow the full use of all the cores?

For those that care, this machine is part of a larger distributed farm that runs traffic simulation software. Benchmarks on equivalent DL160G6 w/Server 2003 R2 have shown worthwhile improvement in runtimes with "hyperthreading" enabled, so we are inclined to have it enabled on the Z800. The workstation does not support a Win Server install (several attempts have failed) and so we are limited to XP 64, Vista 64 and Windows 7.
