"You need to go to the Dell website & download the Win XP drivers for model.or you may find them on Dell drivers CD."In the continuing saga, Gomer finds that Dell insists that it only supports Windows 7 and Vista for my machine and thus no drivers are listed. However, I went to the Broadcom website and found that the driver was good for both OS. I used Device Manager to copy it, but obviously there are many other things I must be missing. At this point, I can accept that I can work around the issue of no internet with XP, however, there is the issue of updates. For example, I have SP2 installed, but not SP3. XP tells me I am out of date with my antivirus. Also I have none of the many updates that MS issued over the years. I can go out and get some files with Windows 7, but often these are just installer programs which need to access the internet to do their job. Catch-22. (If you haven't been in the military or read the book, read it.)Is it safe to have this unprotected OS on my machine if I do not ever use it on the internet? Everything is up to date on the 7 side. (There is always the option of taking the HD out of the old XP machine and putting it in this machine to transfer those files, BUT there are all the registry entries that don't get dealt with so I'm thinking that would not be a good thing to do.)

I've also been having a problem where an instance of svchost.exe was using 25% of my CPU (Athlon II X4 630) and 170MB RAM. I tracked this down to the Schedule service although I haven't worked out what triggers it to happen yet. I have deleted some unneeded Tasks though, so perhaps that's fixed that problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried to sort through the Admin fiasco in Win 7, default admin, "real" admin, just plain user, plain as mud, only M$ could create such convolution. I have Win 7 Ultimate and really like it....BUT....with a 30 inch 16 x 9 display, DVI in, hard to get a sharp screen....fonts in particular are blurred. I have gone through true type, no help.
Part of the problem is the "default" fonts. I think I know how to change them, but, big but, I cannot unlock the administration blockage even logged in as Administrator. I believe that is the problem as there is the gold & blue shield and the actions I want to take are grayed out, thus you can't click on them.
I have read others have set up an Admin with a password only to screw up their installation and I am unwilling to risk that as I have my OS set up just as I want it other than the font issue. Also, same problem in using the format capability of Win 7 for a hard drive, the gold shield/grayed out "format" cannot be accessed, again even though I am logged in as Admin.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter dual booting my drive, it was suddenly changed to an offline dynamic disk. My problem is, I can turn it back online, but it gives me the status of "errors" I checked around for the past 12 hours, and everything says the same thing, turn it back online (it is) Reactivate it (That command is grayed out) Use Dynamic disk converter 2.1 (Says offline even though CMD says it is online)
Now, I am a bit frustrated, after 6 hours or so, my entire PC crashed, I did nothing special to cause this but hey it did. When I would boot up it would give "error loading OS" I checked all my drives, they're working PERFECTLY fine so I have no idea what is causing this. After I inserted my Windows 7 CD it seems to boot up fine now. I have two separate drives, one to handle my main OS being Windows 7 and the other to handle all my media which is the one that I cannot access anymore.
After reading dozens of articles I cannot find any solid answer that work for my case.
I am using the Windows 7 disk manager not a third party program, also, I have read all the 'help' from the microsoft website there is to deal with this problem. But nothing seems to work.
To help literate a bit more this is what my Disk Manager looks like:
Disk 0 Primary partition
Basic
38 GB
Online
Disk 1
Dynamic
errors
When right clicked on Disk 1 everything is Grayed out except properties, help, and Offline.
I don't know if any of this information will be of any help, I am trying to literate as much as I possibly can and give any evidence that might help.
Anyways, this entire thing has given me a huge headache and I have a huge term paper due x_x...
I have no idea what caused all of this to start happening. Maybe force quitting an install? I tried Googling the problem but every fix I tried didn't work; I don't think I've found my exact problem yet. I tried restarting, looking in the services (it wasn't able to be shut down, msiexec or something?), and using the Windows system scan. The Windows System Restore hangs too - so I couldn't do that either.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an application that establishes a socket connection w/ another application on a different machine. When this connection is disrupted (e.g., pull out network cable), I recognize this condition and take some action.
In a Windows XP 32-bit environment, this happens quickly ... in seconds.
In a Windows 7 64-bit environment, this happens slowly ... in about 5 minutes.
If I run netstat in the Windows 7 environment, the TCP connection shows established for about 5 minutes after the network cable has been unplugged. (In WXP, it changes in seconds.) I've searched the forum and have heard a few people refer to 5 minutes as being a "default" timeout value. I've also looked at the TCP spec, etc. to learn a bit more, understand it better, etc. in an attempt to find something I can configure to reduce the 5 minutes to seconds but I've not run into anything yet.
I'm having a strange issue with my Windows 7 Lenovo S10 netbook and a friends WEP enabled router. I am able to connect to my home network wr54g linksys on WPA and at the office there's a guest network running (oddly) a 104bit WEP that I can use. However at my friends house I was trying to connect to his DI-524 Dlink router and recevied some very strange (to me) messages.
I'm wondering if Windows 7 has some kind of issue with older versions of WEP and possibly lower encryption? Potentially could it be simply that if we kick up the encryption it will work? I'm fairly confident that if I convince him to kick it to WPA it will work - but where's the fun in that.
Today, this morning, I did a system image restore, just to test if it works.
The system image was included in the backup of yesterday, 11/5/2009.
The image restore went smooth, Windows 7 is correctly restored and is running like it always did.
One thing I do not understand, the status of the backup is The last backup was canceled, and also the size of the backup is Not available
I hope someone can explain why this is?
