I have a ten-year old Gateway PC. I had a crash and a local tech cleaned it up and installed a Spanish version of Windows XP Professional on the smaller C drive. That's fine for my son whose first language is Spanish. On the larger D drive, I upgraded to an English language Windows 7 Home Version. The problem is that although Windows' analysis for the upgrade okayed it, there is just not enough memory to power it. A major pain is that I can't change the screen resolution and some pages open too large for the screen such that I can't even get to the X or a Close button and have to use another method to get out of the page.I have two Windows XP discs and would like to replace the Windows 7 with Windows XP on my D drive. Before I try to figure it out myself and do something stupid like formatting the D drive, I'd like some advice. The two drives seem to be independent such that I had to put Corel Word Perfect on each drive so we both could write on our respective drives.
I have a problem with modern warfare 2, just installed it on Windows 7 and when im playing the screen smaller because 2 black stripes on each side of the screen comes up how to fix_?
When I start COD Modern Warefare 2, I get a blank screen. I can hear sound and mouse over sounds as I move the mouse, but no display. I used to have this problem with Counter Stike Source but was able to use the -autoconfig option and then turn off HDR (High Dynamic Range, in video advanced settings) and then it worked fine. I also use NVIDIA 3D glasses but I dont think they are causing the issue.
PS. I have tried updating device drivers, using steam switches - autoconfig -window to no avail.
I am using g41 platform with 2gb ram, with 512mb graphics card(8400gs).... i have win7 and win xp sp3... plz suggest me the better one to play current games.
when i'm trying to open Modern Warfare 3 " The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system info. to see whether an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (x64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
Anybody knows about Modern/Metro/Windows-8-style UI theme pack for Win7 but without "the new features that's only for touch" like StartScreen, Charm bar, etc, etc.
It seems like PC gamers have put enough pressure on Infinity Ward. Either that, or Infinity Ward just wants to get money from PC gamers that they didn't get two years ago due to frustration over the lack of dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2. Whatever the case is, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games have officially confirmed the support of dedicated servers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

i just downloaded a windows 7 theme from deviantart, however the start menu doesn't chance and i asked the author of it and he tells me i need to chance the explorer.exe with the one that came with his theme.
But i can't replace it because windows 7 isn't allowing me to do it because of lack of rights. wich i should have since im the only user on my computer and with fully administrative rights.
I also have taken ownership of the file, but i still cannot replace the original explorer.exe file
here is a link to the theme how it should look like: Link to the theme: Clearscreen Sharp for Windows7 by *K-Johnson on deviantART
the hard drive failed on my laptop so have got a new one and I had 2 system image back ups.When I tried to reinstall the most recent one it did not find it from the external hard drive.So I installed the old system image.In the new one I am able to mount the .vhd file in Disk Management and see it is the exact same size as my c: drive.Is it possible to replace the contents of of my c: drive with the .vhd contents?
In the case of sfc /scannow CBS.log showing there are corrupt files and the MUI is also corrupt, where do we get hold of clean MUIs and where do we put them when we've found them? I've tried searching on my Win 7 dvd with no luck. It would obviously be preferable to replace the corrupt MUI rather than just the dll or exe, in case corruption happens again. I was under the impression that sfc /scannow would scan the dvd if it couldn't find a clean MUI and replace from there, but maybe not?
I'm trying to connect an ipod touch to itunes and it says it does not recognize the device then it says to retry and i did. Then it says to replace the device. How do I do this ?
I've recently purchased a new Sony Vaio with Windows 7 Professional. Most of my software is dated and needs to run on Virtual XP which is not as virtual as I'd hoped. I hate it so much that I want to switch back to Windows XP Professional (by far the best platform produced) and I know I will lose at least 4gb of usable memory but so be it. Does any know how I get XP installed?
I have been using a registry cleaner that has removed some system keys. The computer runs most stuff okay, but I am getting some failures on things like the window that used to come up and ask what to do when I plugged in a usb. Researching this is how I found that some registry keys were missing. I have been trying to get to the install / repair the exsisting winows part of the install cd that comes up when installing the program. I did it once before, but haven't been abble to get there again. I am not talking about the first repair options that come up at first, like restore from a restore point or from a system image. It's the one that comes up during the install process where you can choose a drive and format. The repair choice in that section uses the install cd and not a backed up file. The registry cleaner I was using did back up the registry every time it was run, but replaced it with the new back up each time. and the system image was replaced a few days ago, so no help. By the way, I no longer use the registry cleaner
I did a clean install of Windows 7 RC on a Dell 1545 which had been running Vista Basic.
All was well except that the DVD writer vanished from explorer and Device Manager at random intervals.
I re-installed the Vista Basic and the drive worked perfectly. I backed up the driver so I have a cdrom.inf and cdrom.sys from the working Vista system.
I then upgraded the Vista system to Windows 7 and sure enough the DVD drive problems came back.
I cannot find a way of replacing the Windows 7 driver with mt nice working Vista driver.
I can't update it as Windows 7 says the current one is the best, I can't delete the driver because apparently I need TrustedInstaller permissions, I can't give myself permissions as Windows 7 doesn't give me the option under the security tab on the driver folder.
