View 1 Replies View RelatedI use my home network to stream music and movies from my computers to my Xbox and TV. Now all of a sudden, nothing. Both computers are running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, connected online through wifi, and connected to the network homegroup (that works without any issues), but neither or them detect any of my media devices. I have a Sony Viera ST30 TV and an Xbox 360, both having wired connections to the same network that the computers are on. Features that require the internet on both work perfectly fine. And I have a viera app on my phone that I used to use to control my tv (the app may not be compatible with my phone). Even having sharing enabled on the computers, they just wont detect my TV or my Xbox. If I connect my laptop to the network via wired connection, my devices are found. If I connect to a friend's wireless network, their devices are found as well. There has been no change on either computer from the last time it was working, till now.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought a Windows 7 Pro 32bit OEM from Newegg soon as it came out. Recently my motherboard died so I decided to build another computer and dump the old one. Problem I have is the original dvd is bad, the disk will not load. I get the windows 7 spwizeng.dll is not a valid window image. The DVD spins funny in the drive making an odd sound. I tried 3 difference machines, it�s a bad disk.Is there any way around this? Would Microsoft provider a replacement DVD or ISO download for a legit OEM purchase? I have a valid key. I just need media or an ISO to install.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Windows 7, everything was fine. I did not realise though, that Media Player 12 was already installed, so when I saw a link to download it, I did and tried to install it. After rebooting, the obviously already installed Media Player 12 files became corrupted and now, everytime I try to run it it will not work. I am directed to download it, and the link goes to the old Media Player for Windows NT - which will not install, as my PC tells me the Media Player 12 is already installed...So how can I uninstall anything Media Player and start fresh? I see no uninstall .exe for it anywhere.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAs you're aware, Vista had the 'capability' to do a clean install using the Upgrade DVD.
You could boot from DVD, do a clean install, not validate, then when in Windows, go to the DVD drive and install again, this time doing an upgrade and then validate.
This seemed to be kosher as reported on many sites. I know people who did it and all was well. Their Vista PCs run fine, and are completely up to date with regards to SPs and updates.
So, for an Upgrade price, it was possible to do a fresh install...will Windows 7 have this capability do you think?
I have a Dell M1710 laptop, with 4GB of RAM. Currently I'm using Windows XP, which sees 3.2GB of RAM. I have a choice of installing either the x86 or x64 version of Windows 7 Ultimate.
I'm trying to decide which to install based on the 4GB RAM hardware ceiling that I have (motherboard can only accept two 2gb SIMMs max).
Would I get better performance (less hard drive paging) with the X86 version using 3.2GB of RAM, or the x64 version using 4.0GB RAM? How much overhead does the x64 version of Ultimate have, vs. the x86 version? Is that overhead more than 0.8GB of RAM?
I am replacing my current hard drive with a SSD. I am also changing the motherboard, CPU, and RAM. So, I guess you can call it a new system. What I need to do is install a Window 7 upgrade media on the new SSD. I will be using my Windows 7 upgrade media from a Family 3 pack Windows 7 upgrade media. I used this Family 3 packs to upgrade this computer on the current hard drive and two other computers. So, I have used it three times. According to everything I have seen I will need to do a double install to ensure that Windows 7 will activate. What I need to know do I need to activate Windows XP before installing Windows 7?
View 1 Replies View RelatedLast week both my hard drives failed and after buying a new one I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium. When I tried to reinstall/set up Windows Media Center the set up got to the point where it was scanning my TV signals for channels and was about 1/3 to 1/2 through when the computer killed itself and rebooted. This happened 3 times at about the same place. Why is this happening and how do I get the set up to complete? I had it working just fine before on my old hard drive but I can't now.. I am now using Total Media 3.5 which works but not as well as Media Center so I would really like to get the set up to complete...
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn a moment of weakness, I ordered the retail Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Media from an online vendor and I received it yesterday with both 32bit,64bit media and Key.I made a Custom install with the 64bit media on a 80GB partition created and formatted with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Windows 7 Disk Management - a clean install with DELL OEM Reinstall Disk - on my Dell lappy. Since it was an upgrade media, I followed Brink's tutorial refreshing it after the first install. Everything went on well and Windows 8 Pro activated without any hitch.After reading that many users who had bought the media from the vendor were able to do a clean install even on a new HDD, I decided to try it.So I reformattedd the partition and installed the Windoes 8 Pro and what a surprise! It activated automatically without any hitch and what more now I have a dual boot system with OEM Windows 7 & and Windows 8 Pro.I also observed, when I followed Brink's tutorial and installed Win 8, the windows.old folder contained 1.32GB files and with the later clean install though there was a Windows.old folder it was empty.The media purchased from the online vendor is distributed by a Microsoft authorised distributor and replicated in Singapore.

I'm not too sure on the motherboard So I formatted my WinXP drive, and tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate x86.Everything went fine until after the first reboot, "completing installation" it would just crash and everything froze, making me have to do a 5 sec forced shutdown.Then I tried again about 3 more times...Still same problem.I didn't get a photo, but here is an image I found on google images, similar to my situation, except for my laptop, it has stripes like that but the original image still is in the background.
I keep getting this message: Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the computer's system volume. Error Code: 0x80070057I have done several steps already, I opened the cmd and I did the following steps[CODE]
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe way I have things set up right now is I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit on my netbook and it's dualboot with Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit (beta); what I want to do (and I'm not sure if this is even possible) is get my existing Windows 7 installation to work in VirtualBox inside Ubuntu.Basically what I want to do, is dualboot Windows 7 but also be able to run that same installation (with all programs and settings) in a virtual machine when in Ubuntu.Anyways, is this even possible? And if so, how do I do this?(currently I'm trying to figure it out myself but I haven't had any luck; although I have yet to try everything)And the point is to be able to still dualboot while at the same time being able to run the same installation in a VM if needed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought Windows 7 Ultimate which comes with the 32bit and 64bit dvd's. Right now I have the Windows 7 RC1 32bit installed but as we all know its gonna start acting up in March since it will start to expire.As the computer boots up with the dvd in the drive, all works fine until it starts asking for the dvd drivers. Yes, my drive is IDE. Not SATA. Do I really have to go buy a SATA cabled dvd drive to install windows 7? Second, is the fact that I have a 32 bit OS now, affecting the fact that it can't find the drivers? Is it because it's looking for 64 bit drivers when I have a 32 bit os now? I've already read up on this issue for the dvd drivers and it seems it was coming up alot even before the RTM versions and it seemed that redownloading an ISO was the solution aside from getting a SATA drive. But, I didn't download my copy. I have a real disc. I've already tried switching in the BIOS where my drive is set to RAID and moving it to IDE and then to the other option on there and no luck so far on getting it installed.
