Multi Language Support In Win 7
I'm planning to buy a new PC with Windows 7 (English) and not sure what version I should buy. I need to be able to switch into Japanese language mode for writing Word documents and composing/reading email sometimes. I do not need the desktop, menus etc. to be displayed in Japanese, however. I've found some info on the Internet and MS web site but still confused:
1) I have read that LIPs can be installed on any version of Win 7 but looks like Japanese must be installed as a full install (no parent language). If this is the case, can I setup 2 user accounts and configure one for English and the other for Japanese?
2) Do I need to have Win 7 Ultimate or Enterprise edition to do what I want to do?

Foreign Language Support
I notice in the compare section on Windows 7 it has "Work in the language of your choice and switch between any of 35 languages" as a feature available only in Windows7 Ultimate. Does this mean that Home Premium and Professional will not allow me to work in a language besides English if I don't have Ultimate?

Support Japanese Language
I've downloaded and installed Windows 7 RTM. Every thing is OK, but my Windows 7 doesn't support Japanese, Chinese and Korean language. When I open file or visit website that have that language, they can display. I also want to type Japanese in this version, but I cann;t find the Windows IME.

Thai Language Support In XP Mode
The XP mode asked for the XP service pack 3 disk. So I did. It installed it, but then I don't see the Thai language as installed. So I'm wondering if there's like a download I can do instead? In my XP sp3 computer I know it has thai in there but for the XP mode virtualization it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what I did wrong?Or is it just not supported in the XP mode?

Multi-Monitor Taskbar Support
Any suggestions to deal with multiple monitors in Windows 7? I was using UltraMon in Vista and really liked what it did. With all the changes to the taskbar in 7, UltraMon has lots of issues. Is there anything new in 7 dealing with the taskbar (across multiple monitors)?

No Multi Physical Cpu Support
My system is a Asus L1N84 WS SLI FX74 This system has two physical processors on it. So its two dual cores making it 4 cores.(this is the main focus of this thread being started) I have had this system since vista was new. When I biult this system I ordered a copy of Vista Home Premium When I got it up and running I noticed that when I went to system info it said I had 2 processors. Well I called Asus and AMD and Microsoft. And all of them said that the reason I was seeing two processors is because I have two processors. Me not wanting to hear it did alot of research until I found one thing that told me I was just being told what they thought would get me off the phone with them. And I am having the same issue with Windows7 RC1 What I told them is that is not a good answer because my previous system said I had 2 processors and that system was an AMD 4200 X2 So it said 2 processors and it was just ONE dual core. Not to mention that this board got a horrible write up against Intel which caused AMD to trash the whole 4x4 idea. Bad for them because this is one hell of a system with all four cores running. Which were not running during those benchmarks against the Intel quad 6700 at the time. Remember I said I installed Vista Home premium. Well it turned out while I was searching Microsofts web site I looked at the differences between Vista Home premium and ULTIMATE. There was my answer staring me right in the face.... Ultimate was the only version that had MULTI PHYSICAL CPU SUPPORT! So I then purchased Vista Ultimate and checked the amount of processors in the system window and also In CPUZ . And there they were......4 processors... Needless to say that I quickly benchmarked it again on pcpitstop and 3dmark 06 and on pcpitstop my numbers doubled!!! Literally DOUBLED. Because now the other processor was being utilized. I add in here about the issue with the Intel benchmark just to say that this system is and was totally comparable to any intel system at that time and AMD scrapped it because of a faulty test!!! The sites that did their reviews were only running one of the dual cores which is why it was only slightly better then one FX 60 in there reports!! THIS is over DOUBLE and FX 60 with all 4 cores running! Anyway... Now to the issue about Windows7 ULTIMATE........ THEY didnt put that support in Windows7 Ultimate making it no good to use with a server board!! And now I have this OS in here and am only running on 2 cores AGAIN!!! What will microsoft do to fix this issue for all the people that want to run Windows7 in their servers boards INSTEAD of the new WINDOWS SERVER 2008? How do I get my processors to show up?? Anyone have any answers? The Microsoft technical support told me that they cannot answer that and I would have to call technical support after I purchase Windows7 and have the issues!! WHY WOULD I WANT TO PURCHASE IT WITH THIS ISSUE !!! ANYONE?? Help please? Microsoft? Just to clarify the post above for anyone that says it.... I have ULTIMATE . that IS the RC1. And it says 2 processors and cpuz which said 4 before I installed this NOW says 2!

N Trig Multi Touch Support
I was hoping for native support for my duosense(both ben and capacitative) Ntrig Display(came as part of my business Latitude XT2) to be natively supported by Windows 7 since one of the features advertised is the multitouch capabilities, and the Ntrig being the only capacitative touch tablet out there and Ntrig working with Microsoft. Of course, the only native support is single touch. Multitouch support is not native, its only for 32 bit and it doesn't support the pen feature. Now ... who can I complain to to get this working? LOL or how can I request for them to work on this.

Where's The Extended Multi Monitor Support ?
I thought Windows 7 was supposed to have improved support for multi-monitor. OK, it's nice that each monitor can have it's own Cleartype and colour settings, but what about wallpaper and the taskbar. Tiled wallpapers always start from the primary monitor - not the left most monitor. As a result, it's impossible to have a panaorama image stretch across the desktop all the way from left to right, unless you have the primary monitor as left-most. The Taskbar only appears on the primary monitor. The new Snap options for positioning windows just don't work very well with multi-monitor. There seems to be no way of setting up a half-screen view if it isn't at the extreme left/right edge of the whole space. It'd be really nice to be able to (say) drag to a corner and have a half-screen view on that monitor.

Multi Monitor Support Using Nvidia Go 6100 Graphics Issue
When windows installed it found the drivers for the graphics from nvidia via windows update and everything operates as expected. When an external monitor is connected, the laptop display will turn off and the external will become the primary monitor, this happens regardless of the external monitor is on or off when connected. Additionally it happens on any monitor new or old connected and it does correctly detect and set the resolution and frequency for the monitor. In the Nvidia control panel it does not display the laptop display as existing and the only option for monitors is single display (no other options are shown). Using the windows monitor controls yeilds no different results, it simply acts as if there is no built in monitor at all. One other interesting quirk is that when the external monitor is disconnected the process will not reverse, the computer still acts as if it is connected and the laptop display remains blank. The only way I have found to reset it so that the laptop display can be used is to restart the computer after unplugging the display. Is this a driver/windows issue or a hardware problem? Any thoughts?

Support True Multi Monitor RDP Session (as A Server)
We're using 3 monitor setups with both portrait and landscape monitors. I did initial testing of the new "true multi monitor" feature of RDP 7. It worked great as long as I was connecting to either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 Ultimate (both in trial versions). Based on additional research of microsoft websites that noted that true mutli monitor remote desktop connection is support by Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise, we have purchased 5 new computers with Win 7 Professional. Now I'm trying to connect to Windows 7 Professional from Windows 7 Professional system and I can only get the RDC session on one monitor only. Quite frustrating. I contacted both Dell and Microsoft but neither could tell me if Win 7 Professional can host true multi monitor session. Did any of you try this? I'm trying to determine if it is Win 7 Pro limitation or some system setting that I'm missing?

One-click Minimize / Restore Missing For Multi-window Or Multi-tab Programs
The new taskbar is fabulous, but it has lost one really valuable feature: the ability to minimise and restore multi-tab programs like IE8 with one click on the taskbar icon. Restoring from the taskbar ---------------------------- Programs with one window work perfectly. Click the taskbar icon, and the program minimises/restores perfectly well. But programs with multiple windows or tabs - such as IE8 - force you to use the Preview feature, and then select a window/tab to open. The preview feature is wonderful, but it shouldn't be FORCED upon you. If you just want to restore IE8 back to as it was before you minimised it, you should be able to just click on the icon. Minimising to the taskbar --------------------------- I can no longer minimise a multi-window/tab program (such as IE8 again) by clicking on its taskbar icon. This is often much more convenient than navigating to the little minimise button in IE8's title bar. In fact, when IE8 is open, clicking on its icon in the taskbar has exactly the same effect as hovering over it. So really its behaviour is inconsistent and puzzling. (IE8 is just my example; all multi-window/tab programs suffer this). Summary ---------- The new taskbar is fabulous, but it really does need these two little glitches sorting out. For multi-window/tab programs, if the user chooses not to use the Preview feature, then simply clicking on the taskbar icon should do the minimise/restore action, just as it does for single window/tab programs, and just as it did in Vista, XP, et al.

Win 7 Multi Monitor Problem
As a partner, I installed 7Ultimate on my personal machine. I have a problem and I'm puzzled by the lack of any forum corresponding to 7 on the community website. These responses from Microsoft engineers have been very valuable in the past. If there is an appropriate forum, please route this question to it. I have four monitors installed in a 1,2 top and 3,4 bottom configuration. Monitor 1 is the primary and had the master toolbar at one time, (quicklaunch etc). It is still primary but the master toolbar has moved to monitor three which is left bottom and is not primary. Why did this happen and what can I do to fix it?

Bluetooth In A Win 7 Multi-boot Environment
I have a multi-boot environment with a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse.Windows 7 does not allow you to pair the keyboard and the mouse in multiple environments with the same pairing code.I used to be able to do this with Windows XP and Windows Vista.The only solution that I can identify is to either:Re-pair the mouse and keyboard every time you change your bootup session choice. or Use multiple keyboards and mice... one keyboard and mouse for each boot environment... seperately paired.You used to be able to disable the pairing code requirement for a deviceor Manually specify the pairing code used on both sides of the pairingYou cannot do this in Windows 7... or if you can I have not found out how to do it.Do you know of a way to use a single bluetooth keyboard and mouse in a multi-boot environment? orDo you know when Microsoft will correct their bluetooth drivers to allow this (like they used to)?

Upgrade From Win XP / Vista To Win7: Product Key Language Version
We currently run 3 PCs at home (all 32 bit): PC 1: German Windows Vista Home Premium PC 2 & 3: English Windows XP Home I'd like to purchase the Windows 7 family pack (English) to upgrade all of the PCs (clean install preferred). Questions: 1. Can all 3 PCs be upgraded to the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with the family pack, despite the different language versions? 2. When performing a clean install, is it sufficient to enter the product key of the previously installed system when using the upgrade disk/key or is the old system required on the harddisk? 3. Just to confirm: The family pack comes with both, the 32 bit and 64 bit version for Windows 7 Home Premium?

Upgrade Vista Ultimate - Win 7 Ultimate: OS Language
I heard that an in-place upgrade to Windows 7 is only possible within the same language (e.g. EN-US). Now I worry that I'll buy the wrong Win 7 version.I know that my current Vista Ultimate is English, but how to find out which one (could be British as well)? Ist there a native OS language at all besides the language I set in the "regional and language options" in the control panel?And is this important at all? As far as I know Windows 7 Ultimate supports 35 languages, so does it matter at all as long as I accept to install Win 7 in the same language like my Vista is?Sorry, maybe I'm a bit confused *ggg*.

Does Win 7 Rc Support FTP ?
I installed IIS management tools, created and configured (fairly certain) an ftp share. I've enabled permissions from the Windows firewall to incoming and outgoing FTP resources. I configured my linksys WRT610N for FTP access (Already worked with 2003 server), but cannot gain access from outside my network. I can share files internally, but have not tried to TELNET in or out of the Windows 7 pc. I couldn't find much on technet regarding FTP setup on Windows 7 - any thoughts?

Win 7 Does Not Support New PC Games
Question about PC games. Shall Windows 7 support also PC games that have meant to work with Windows XP and Vista? There is obviously support for the games. Or is it only that Windows doesn't support yet fully 64 bit platforms? For example HP Pavillion dv6000 with AMD 64 AthlonX2 doesn't work with Games that have been made for Windows Vista. Â

Why Does Win 7 Not Support 1900x1200 On Laptops ?
I am trying to figure out why Vista and Win7 do not support 1900x1200 on any of my laptops. I am currently testing on 2 HP systems that are capable of 1900x1200 screens. When I had XP Pro installed I was able to enjoy 1900x1200. When I moved to Vista and Win7 the best resolution I am able to achieve is 1680x1050 on system 1 and 1024x768 on system 2. Seems a bit odd that both Vista and Win7 can not support the resolution on either system yet XP can.

Does Win 7 Ultimate Edition Support Both 32 And 64 ?
I would like to ask this straightforward question: does Windows 7 Ultimate Edition support both 32 and 64 bits? I have a legal copy of it and installed it on my Vista Business PC, but it seems to be running at 32 bits only. Is it because of this Vista only supporting 32 bits? How do you tell the bits your OS is running at?

Does Win 7 Support Symbolic Links ?
I'm researching an issue in which Windows 7, Vista, and Windows 2008 Server cannot delete user profiles host on an EMC SAN (The error says that I require permission from the user, even if I AM the user). XP and 2003 Server do not have this issue and can delete the same files without any problems. During my research I've been looking into some of the new features introduced in Vista and up that may be responsible for this issue. I'm away of UAC and have tried all settings related to that without success. I also see that support for Windows Symbolic Links was introduced with Vista (see link) however I can't find out if Windows 7 also supports it. Does anyone know?

Win 7 - Support For Legacy Hardware
Buy new hardware is not an option. ALL Windows OS prior to Vista contained support for Legacy hardware devices. The drivers for these devices would load just fine and run as designed. Then along comes Vista and no more support for Legacy hardware. Please correct me if I am wrong, but Windows XP required less HD space than Windows 7, but XP offered more support for ALL hardware and drivers, while Windows 7 doesnât allow any legacy support? Now Windows 7 is touted as being the âEnd-All-Be-Allâ� of OS's. I smell Vista in a new package, with no support for legacy hardware. Why is that? Does Microsoft really think that we should scrap the devices that we have and buy new hardware just because we need to in order to run an inferior OS? Linux doesn't seem to have an issue with legacy hardware in their newest releases, nor does Apple. I will not throw away thousands of dollars of hardware just because Microsoft will not support it. My Dell GX270 test platform worked just fine with Windows XP Pro. The hardware did it's job very well. Sorry Microsoft, I am not going to replace all of our systems just because you are too lazy to allow support for legacy hardware. I guess that I am stuck with XP Pro until Microsoft stops supporting it, or comes up with a real live working OS. If I must, I will transition all of the systems to Linux and Microsoft can die a slow painful death. Gee, you would have thought that Microsoft may have learned a lesson with the Vista failure. I guess that the developers at Microsoft have forgotten that WE, the consumer put them where they are at today. Continuation of FAILING to support WE, the consumer will only lead you to continued failure in the marketplace.

Win 7 Support Of Dynamic Disks
I understand there will be a preorder of Windows 7 comming out, but I haven't found informaiton on which version(s) will support Dynamic disks? Background: I had Vista 64 Home Premium and installed Windows 7 (now RC) after adding two 1.5 TB drives which I wanted to run stipped. I couldn't get Dynamic disk to function in Home Prenium and from what I read on the web, I needed Ultamate. Windows 7 was available and worked. The public betas are only Ultimate, so it's dificlut to determine what functionality is lost on other versions. I haven't found a detailed feature list that indicates which versions will support Dynamic disks (Supersite for Windows, searching Microsoft forums).

Win 7 Support For Seagate Disk
In Windows 7 RTM I have had trouble with one of my two HDs, a Seagate 300 GB. During Windows 7 installation, installer "could not find drivers" when the Seagate was the first SATA drive. Once the Western Digital drive was set as the first drive, system installed ok. After installation, the Seagate shows in the Disk Management as 300 GB, but if look at contents with Explorer, it has only 125 GB capacity. Can this be a Seagate firmware problem? (Windows 7 RC earlier had no problems with this drive when the system had Win7RC + Vista + XP.)

Win 7 Virtualization Without Hardware Support ?
I just set up a 64 bit computer using an Intel Q8200 quad core processor. Using this same processor/MB arrangement on Vista 64 machines I could virtualize with no issues. Under Win 7 I'm told that VM 2007 won't run, and the new RC of Microsoft's VM requires hardware support not included in this particular chip! Any workarounds?

Will 32 Bit Win 7 Support 8 GB Ram ?
will 32 bit win 7 public release support 8 GB ram?It would be nice cuz there are 32 bit games + lost's more nice things so I cant use 64 bit os if I wanna use 32 bit soft. If windows serve can handle 128G ram and more then why cant win 7 handle 8 G ram. if you (Microsoft) don't code 8 GB support in 2 bit win 7 u loose ur clients.me for example. I just downloaded 32 bit Ubuntu linux and installed server kernel on it, and now I can use my 8 GB ram :) And I won't buy next windows until these memory limits are 4 GB off topic: if u plan make 8 GB support I can be tester.
