I Cannot Use Screen Rotation Option
Sep 8, 2009
I got an Acer Extensa 5220 laptop with Windows 7 RC and integrated graphic card of Intel. The properties of this graphics don't have the screen rotation option and neither does Windows in the Screen Resolution menu.
I tried to reinstall the system (to RC again and to RTM), downloaded programs such as EEErotate, iRotate, PivotPro; used the Ctrl+Alt+(arrows) combination, upgraded the graphic card to the latest drivers and none of these options worked.
I was wondering if this could be enabled through the Windows Registry Editor.

Somehow I have enabled a "feature" that caused the screen to rotate 90 degrees. How do I get it back to normal? (key strokes?) Gateway laptop, brand new.

every time I have started Windows 7 I am forced to answer the question if I want to allow Magic Rotation to take influence on my computer. How can I stop this without deinstalling the software?

I had winxp sp3 and Windows 7 7127 x64 on dual boot (xp on c:/ and 7 on d:/)
I replaced xp sp3 with Windows 7 7264 x86 ...at first I couldn't login to Windows 7 7127 because the dual boot seemed to be gone. I fixed it using easybcd so now I have dual boot again for 7127 x64 and 7264 x86 .
The problem is that now when I boot 7127 it has a vista boot screen (probabbly because of easybcd not having a Windows 7 option). How can I change it back to the Windows 7 boot screen? Does anyone have any clues?

I'm using the Windows 7 - 7000 build too.
Well, I have some questions... first, regarding the boot screen when I turn on the computer. I've installed Windows XP SP2 this way: Deleted all the partitions on my hard drive, then did two partitions from the installation program of the CD, then I installed Windows XP in one of the partitions, then I installed Windows 7 in the other partition.
So, I have two SO's running, but, when I turn on the PC only stars with Windows 7. There is no OS selection screen at the very beggining. What could be the problem?
Second, and regarding with graphics. I'm running Win 7 in a HP 530 Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM and this: "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, up to 224-MB shared system memory". When I turn on the slideshow as a Desktop Background, sometimes I see weird lines and the transition is not as smooth. Also, I've installed Warcraft III Frozen Throne and when I play, I see some dark flashes and lines.
This happens because of the "beta" not handling well the GMA 950?? I'm using the drivers that came on with the Windows 7, however, I think I've updated them via Windows Update since it seems that HP and Intel are friends with Bill Gates.

I installed Win 7 sometime around Feb, a dual boot with Win XP. But when I upgraded Win XP to Vista, the option for Win 7 disappeared on the boot screen, and the system would boot straight into Vista. So, I used the Startup repair option from the Win 7, and after rebooting it showed the boot screen with W 7, and Vista. But, after I "repaired" it, Win 7 seems to have lost the Win 7 startup screen. It now shows the "Starting Windows" from Windows Vista, then the Win 7 "welcome" screen.
I realize it's not much of a problem, but is there any way I could get the Win 7 startup screen back?

I had Windows 7 7057 & XP running Fine, Dual Boot was working fine
On The Same Disk but different partition:
c: / Windows 7 7057
d: / XP
To install the Windows 7 RC 7100 i've formatted the c: partition and installed on it.
No problems at all during installation. Windows 7 RC is running Fine.
XP is lost, so i've tried to add it to the boot options using EasyBCD 1.7.2, FAILED. Then running as ADMINISTRATOR bcedit.exe:
i've done this:
Heres my boot "overview" takem from EasyBCD
bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP"
bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=D:
bcdedit /set {ntldr} path
tldr
bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast
When i restart the Boot options appears Windows 7 and Windows Xp
But when i choose the XP option and Hit the enter key, the system immediately restarts.

Here is a funny situation. [URL]
I have no idea how it got there. But there is no place to drag it. I tried changing the resolutions to no avail.
Anyone with a trick to move it around?

I've installed 64bit win 7 on a 2nd partion of my main drive running vista 64bit. The installation all went smoothly and loaded into win 7.
But when restarted I did't get a windows boot manager screen so i could pick if I wish to load Vista or Windows 7, instead my system just loads straight into Vista.
Do I have to enable my system to be able to see the Windows 7 install?

Is there any way I can stop my photo viewer automatically setting files to "hidden" when I rotate them?I can go through manually and do it but I have to do it with EVERY photo I upload and believe me there are a LOT of photos being uploaded to my computer every day. so this will be ludicrously time consuming.I have set every file I can find to "show hidden" but that isn't the point they shouldn't be hidden in the first place.

In my laptop existing OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
Hardware config is
HP i7 Quad processor 1.7 GHz.
4 GB DDR3 Ram,
500 GB HDD.
My system perf is slow. I installed few softwares. I have deselected most of the startup services and programs from msconfig. Eventhough my system bootup time is slow, and whenever i open mycomputer it taking time to load.
I have decided to install Windows 7 Enterprise Edition x64 by formatting my C drive. But there is no option while i do clean install.

There are 2 options in the BIOS for my laptop fan:Silent and Normal.Right now, it is running under option 1 - "Silent".This may well be the reason why I don't hear any sound of the fan (unlike my other laptop that has a relatively noisy fan coming ON and OFF from time to time).Do I need to switch to "Normal" mode?Will there be any problem in the long run if I stay with the existing setting?The touchpad area and its vicinity are sometimes hot (not too much though) under the current setting. Has this anything to do with that BIOS option for the fan?

I reformatted/reinstalled 7 Ultimate yesterday. I unplugged my other drives before starting the reinstall.Now Windows 7 DOES recognize both drives.....but I don't get the bootloader screen that gives an option to start Older Version of Windows. It simply boots to Windows 7. How can I get Windows XP back on the boot menu?

I have a system that has only one option for login: a standard user w/o admin privileges. I'm trying to do a "Windows Easy Transfer" from an XP box. Anyway, in order to do that, I must have admin privileges on the offending W7 box. I have admin privileges for my own account, but I don't get an option to log in as myself. Looking at C:/Users, I see my own profile and an admin account. How can I get around this

I will be shortly replacing my XP PC with a Windows 7 64bit PC. I have years worth of emails stored in Outlook Express. What is the best option to keep using these email folders in Windows 7 64bit? I understand that there is no included email client in Windows 7, so what 3rd party is best?

Just tested HP Deskjet 6940 driver for use with HP Laserjet 6840. Though ink checking and HP printer feedback does not work 100%, it does do the job.
Could NOT get Vista (32) or XP (32) 6840 drivers to install, or function correctly.

I've been wondering for quite a long time now how users are handled. When I look in the "users" folder, I have Public access, "Default" user , "All users" and "Myname" user folder. Some folders have locks on them. What is this all about ? Is there a way to just have one user with all permissions?

So, I've got a question or two. I have a laptop that came with Windows Vista Home Premium, with the free Windows 7 upgrade.
However, I noticed that Vista Home Premium upgrades to Windows 7 Home Premium, but I want Windows 7 Professional. Also, I have only the 32-bit (it looks like they crippled my OEM disc, as it doesn't even give me a 64-bit option)... so would the upgrade disc have 32-bit only?
How would you guys suggest going about getting Windows 7 Professional? Should I use Anytime Upgrade to get myself Vista Ultimate so it upgrades to 7 Ultimate?
Or should I just get the upgrade as-is and hope IT has some sort of upgrade option?
Additionally, do you know if I could get a pro-rated upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional?
And, does anybody know if the upgrade disc I'll get will have the 64-bit? Or would I get a crippled 32-bit only version? Since I have 4GB of RAM in this laptop, I really want the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
Or do you guys just think I should sign up for the MSDNAA site for the $19 student fee (I'll be a student at the University of Michigan in about two weeks) and get Professional that way? I guess I'd just not rather waste the upgrade option I have, it's the whole reason I paid for Vista on my laptop and not just XP.

So I need to repair integral Windows files on my install. On XP this was a trivial matter of booting off the XP install disc and selecting the appropriate option. What I never noticed up until now (since I need the option now) is that MS in their infinite wisdom has removed that option for Windows 7 (and i'm guessing probably 8 as well) and replaced with a start-up repair option which is completely useless for addressing my ultimate issue (wifi gui corruption). any method by which one can conduct an actual repair install on Windows 7?
