I just installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit onto my desktop pc, previously running Win XP Pro 32bit, my m/b is a GA-K8NF-9 ver2.2 amd Athlon 64 x2 4200 (2.21ghz)with 4 x 1gb ram, vga Gigabyte 8800 Ultra card.HDD Samsung 500gb, When I installed Win7 in device manager under "other devices" Multimedia audio,controller,video shows drivers are not installed, also for my belkin f5d5730 adsl usb/ethernet modem drivers are not installed. So I tried to reinstall original driver package from cd that came with m/board and win 7 didnt recognize them, also the same for the belkin modem.
I've recently got back into playing System Shock 2 and I have been trying to set up my XBOX 360 controller to use . So far I do have my button configuration saved BUT,when I load to play SystemShcok 2 it doesn't recognize my XPadder set up? 1) Is Xdder compatible with Windows 7 and if so, 2) Maybe I just have the folder in the wrong place.
this is about windows 7 but it could also fit in the games or hardware section too. I'm trying to run a few games in the new windows 7 but I'm running into a problem. One or two are pretty old I mean early 2000's old and when I go to install them I get an error message saying that the programs are not compatible with windows 64 bit version. My question is-is there a way to make a non compatible program compatible with 64 bit windows? Is there some setting or drive that can be changed that can make these programs work or am I pretty much done?
Photoshop and Dreamweaver are the programs I use the most often, but will all these programs work with Windows 7 at the CS2 version level, or do I need to upgrade?
I have Sonic ditalmedia v7 on my windows xp. If I upgrade to windows 7 will this software be compatible? If not is there a free CD and DVD copying software that is compatible ?
My copy of windows 7 came with IE9 and the installers offered for download on the site all tell me that it's incompatible. Is there a 64 bit Windows 7 download of IE8 somewhere (preferably hosted by microsoft) I could use?
I've recently found an old laptop in the back of my closet. It runs Windows '95 currently, and has some start-up problems (but isn't very slow once I get it to work). I'm not an expert at computers, but I can say that it's an IBM ThinkPad built around 1999, as it is the lowest year available in the time setup. I want to update it to Windows 7 so I could maybe give it purpose again. Currently, it tries to use dial-up connection, has no USB ports, but does have a CD drive. It came with an external floppy disc drive. I've searched around on Google for a day or two to see if this is even possible. From what I've seen, it's possible to jump from Windows 95 to Windows 7, but I don't know if anything about the computer itself can change that (e.g. the space on its hard drive, its lack of modern ports, its lack of wi-fi connection). I have a full copy of Windows 7 on the CD, and I can put a CD in the laptop itself, so I see no problem there. My major fear is that I'll try to put in the disc and it automatically erases everything on my hard drive or kill the computer because it's too much strain on an old system.
i have DELL /optiplex 745 Core 2 Duo.I want to know is my PC compatible for Windows 7 64-bit or not? if yes then i have experienced it twice not being so.

I understand that Outlook Express is not compatible with Widows 7 but is there an email program that is and as easy to use as Express? I don't need all of the bells & whistles that com with MIcrosoft Outlook. All I want is to be able to put in my multible emails and have them all download at the same time when I hit send/receive. Plus (the big plus) an Address Book that is as easy to use as Outlook Express to enter my 100 + names and to build a few groups.
Is MS Office 2000 compatible with Win7 32 bit? I have read that Outlook may have a problem but what about MS Word, Excel, and PP?Also, is a Win7 32 bit upgrade worthwhile (from XP) now that Win8 is in the pipeline?
After Upgrading my vista to windows 7 (32bit) some of my newer games have had issues with Fps i think. example in shooter games, the more i shoot the more fps drops until the game crashes and i didn't have this issue during vista.
Also other problem is that some resolutions don't work correctly anymore, example 1024x768 is now instead of fullscreen, size of an ipad
I am new to this so bear with me. I am running Windows 7 (64bit, Home Premium) and IE8 (new Acer PC in April '11). I am having compatability problems with sites I originally was able to access (not able to log on). Also, having moved from New England to SC, my wife and I would like to join Facebook to keep in touch with family. When I access the Facebook web page I am getting a message that I need to update my browser. I have tried IE9, Chrome, Navigator & Safari and continue to get the same response from Facebook. I have the same issue with other sites I was able to access previously (I recall reading somewhere that in June some of the "patch tuesday" fixes from MS might be troublsome).
A while ago, I upgraded to an SSD, and at the same time, I upgraded from my Win 7 Ultimat, 32-bit to the corresponding 64-bit. As I refuse to give up my Windows Natural Multimedia Keyboard, I did not install ITPx64_1033_8.0.225.0.exe (v. 8), because it does not accept PS1, which is the only connection on my keyboard. Note: I refuse to give up my keyboard because it is ergonomic, has multimedia keys, and is light gray?I have used ITPx86_1033_7.00.260.0.exe (v. 7) since then, and it has worked well. A while ago, it gave me problems, and I think I must have uninstalled it. When I am trying to reinstall, I get the error message "Setup cannot continue because this software is not supported on 64-bit operating systems."
I wanted to know if my laptop ( Vaio - FZ 260E) supports 64 bit windows 7 or not? And if yes is it necessary to upgrade to windows 64 bit? Because I've bought 4GB Ram memory and it is said that my windows version only uses 3GB of it.
my laptop config is: CPU: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7250 Mainboard: Intel PM965 Currently Ram: 2 1GB DDR2 Rams and I want to upgrade to 2 2GB rams. (my mainboard has 2 slots)
P.S. I run Windows 7 upgrade Advisor tool and it seems there is no problem with upgrading to windows 7 64 bit and all of my drivers are recognized by it. I wonder is it really possible to have a 64 bit OS in 32 bit CPU?
Why does Windows 7 say my 32gb sandisk SDHC 4 is not suitable or does not have the caracteristics for readyboost. Is there anything I can do to change the cards caracteristics so that it will work with readyboost?
