Standard VGA Driver Doesn't Support DVD Playback
My old ATI RADEON Mobility 7500 graphics card is not supported in/under Windows7, so I use the rather fine MS-provided Standard VGA driver.
Unfortunately this approach doesn't support DVD playback in Windows Media Player: Each time I insert a DVD and WMP starts playing I get an error message that analog copyright protection is nott supported by the driver.
Now: Can't the Standard VGA driver be corrected/extended thus that it would allow/support DVD playback? It's entirely up to MS (e.g. to lock the VGA output during DVD playback) from my point of view ..

Standard DVD Playback Regular Stutter
I am seeing a problem with the Win7 beta and Standard DVD playback. I have only installed Beta, and installed the necessary drivers. No MCE setup other than the minimum (i.e. no tuners or anything in use) If I play back a standard DVD in MCE it will slow down and stutter (similar to what you see when layers changes sometimes) every so often. It seems to be about every 15-20 minutes this will happen for a little bit. I'm not sure about the timing, but it seems relatively regular. I was thinking maybe the CD drive is spinning down and then having to spin back up every now and then? But i can't find any power options related to the CD drive... Any ideas?

1280x1024 32 Bit With Standard VGA Driver
Is there any way to force the Standard VGA Driver to display in 1280x1024 32bit? If I look at the modes available, then I find 1280x1024, but only in 16bit. I have an old Nvidia GeForce2 MX/400, and after installing the XP drivers I was able to run at 1280x1024 in 32bit, but I was getting some crashes in nv4_mini.sys when trying to install DVDFab. "The Internet" tells me that this is due to the XP drivers, so I uninstalled them again and rolled back to the Standard VGA Driver and was able to install the software. But now I am limited to 16bit again. So, is there any way to force this?

Updated Resolutions For Standard VGA Driver
It's been what... 10+ years of the same "Standard VGA Driver" which used to serve a more useful role when screens were smaller, but these days in the age of laptops, the resolutions it supports are just not working. We use several medium age laptops (3-5 years), still 64 bit, still multi-core, and certainly not beyond their prime, unfortunately NVIDIA doesn't produce windows 7 drivers for the vid cards in our machines (GForce 440 Go). The only driver that really works is the Standard VGA Driver, but it only supports standard resolutions from 10 years ago, the largest being 1024x768. This means we just can't use Windows 7 on any of these machines, which we were hoping to do, simply because the SVD doesn't offer 1280x800. Couple questions, has anyone produced a customized version of the Standard VGA driver? Or an Standard WXGA Driver? Or is it possible to add resolutions ourselves to the standard driver that would solve this seemingly simple problem? Last, why hasn't Microsoft updated the supported list of resolutions to cover at least the basics for laptops or even the base screen resolutions of any modern LCD screen? Again, love Windows 7, just wish we could use it on all our machines!

Media Player Doesn't Playback Retail DVDs
I'm having this issue on Win 7 Ultimate: Windows Media player doesn't playback any retail DVDs. It surprisingly DOES play back my back up DVDs. On the other hand, Media center will play back the retail DVD but very choppy. I've tried installing different codec packs, KLite Mega pack and Shark007 Codecs but nothing works! I keep getting this error on Media player "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card." I've updated video card drivers and even updated the graphic card & DVD rom bios with no result. Anyone encountered a similar problem or have any suggestions? I installed VLC player and Media player Classic which play all the DVDs just fine but I just want to use Media center or Windows Media Player. OS: Win7 Ultimate x86 Graphic card: Gigabyte 9400GT (NVIDIA) DVD rom burner: Pioneer D212 PS. I had no problems in Win XP before I upgraded to Win7

Standard VGA Adapter
I just installed Windows 7 RC1 32-bit OS onto my laptop. Without thinking i needed any drivers, i went to play World of Warcraft. It told me that it could not locate a display device and wouldn't work. I figured i needed to install my grpahics card drivers for my Nvidia 9 series card. When i went to install the drivers, an error message appeared saying that it could not locate drivers compatible with my device. I went to dxdiag and under display it shows that i have a standard vga adapter and won't recognize my actual graphics card. I'm not sure if i'm missing drivers, i haven't installed anything else except for this attempt at installing the nvidia driver.

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
I put Windows 7 on my friends computer since he wanted me to, so I installed it. But there was one problem. His resolution is stuck at 640x480. It said he is running from a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. His computer is fairly old, but all of the hardware is pretty good except for the video card. I brought him my old 7700 GTS for him to use for the time being, but I cannot install the drivers for it, and the computer still says he is running Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

Cannot Get Rid Of Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64x. Previously, I had 32-bit Vista Ultimate. I have a Dell Precision M90, with 4 gigs of ram, a 2.00 GHz core duo processor, and a Nvidia Quadro FX 2500M video card. In the device manager, my display adapter shows as Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. I'm decent with computers, so I've upgraded video card drivers before. However, for some reason it is not allowing me to upgrade this driver. I have tried with both a 2500M driver as well as a 7900GTX driver (which worked for me in Vista). I have also tried uninstalling the driver first, but it won't let me install another one before restarting and when I restart it just reinstalls the Standard VGA Graphics adapter.

Generic Non-PnP Monitor On Standard VGA Graphic Adapter
OK as Ive been looking around the site Ive noticed that there are many issues like this one, and Im sure there are plenty of people out there that have this problem. My "Windows Experience Index" is at a 1.0 only because my Graphics, and Gaming Graphics rating are at 1.0. Everything else is at 5.9 which I can live with. When I look at my adavanced settings for my monitor it Shows my Nvidia GPU but only running with 14 MB total avail mem. And I know that NOT right. Unfortunatly when I went to Nvidia's site and ran the auto detect it said that I didnt even have their product and that I had the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. I can't seem to find the right drivers for this to fix it all, and I would love to be able to "Experience" Windows 7 at its fullest. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully the attached photos will give you an idea as to what Im working with. Also When i toubleshoot Aero Ive received this message: "The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver." And when I try to change my screensaver to a 3D one it states that I either need a newer graphics card or one that is compatible with Direct3D.

Ultimate 64-bit Doesn't Support 4GB RAM
I have had Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM installed for a couple of months now, but there is one issue that I have not been able to solve for this whole time. When I first went to install Windows 7, I had to remove a 2GB stick of RAM in order for the installer to even start without blue screen-ing on me. So I took the RAM out and managed to get 7 installed (yay!). However, when I tried to reinsert the RAM, I got the same BSOD that I would when trying to install 7 with the other 2GB in. I gave up after a couple of tries, and it has taken me this long to try to solve the issue. I am pretty sure that my specs are 7 Ultimate x64 compatible? Because if not, that is most probably the source of the error. Otherwise, could anyone lend a hand? It really hurts having 2GB of RAM lying around in a drawer being useless.

Windows 7 X64 Dvd Doesn't Boot Up
I recently purchased a copy of x64 Windows 7 Business. I downloaded it from the Online store DigitalRiver as part of the students deal. Here is my system information: Current operating system: Windows Vista x32 Business Processor: Intel Quad Core 2 Q6600 2.4 GHz Memory: 4GB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Motherboard: Intel 975XBX2 KR Socket 775 BIOS version: 2838 (Latest) I burned the x64 Windows 7 installation files onto a DVD. I am aware that it is not going to run from my current OS since it is x32. My Boot order is the following: DVD/CD ROM -> HDD I tried to boot with the x64 Windows 7 DVD but it simply didn't. So I decided to format my computer using the x32 Vista DVD. After the format, I tried to boot with the x64 Windows 7 DVD and it failed again. So I re-installed x32 Vista and I still cannot boot with the x64 Windows 7 DVD.

Press Any Key, To Boot From DVD Doesn't Appear

Still the message doesn't appear. Windows DVD is OK, bootable (.iso) and I have used it before. Do I have to make extra changes in BIOS to boot ? Or smth else ? I have googled for hours with no success.

DVD Movies Don't Appear As Movies And Doesn't Autoplay Properly
Rather than having a DVD movie that appears as a movie when inserted (Autoplay comes up asking to play the movie in a player and the icon in my computer is the thumbnail of the DVd and the DVD says the movie name in my computer) the dvd is treated as just another UDF file system on a dvd and when i double click on it, it actually explores the dvd rather than play it (as in it will go in the dvd and show my the VIDEO_TS folder). I have to manually go to media player navigate to the dvd through media player and choose to play it. This has happened with the commercial DVDs; Ocean's 12 and The Island.

WG111 OS Doesn't Recognize Driver
I can install the software perfectly in whatever compatibility mode or none at all but after installation it still says "unknown device" in the device manager. I have the WG111v1 but I also tried the WG111v2 driver which makes no difference except that the last step where i need to connect the device takes forever because it can't be found.

SB Audigy SE - Driver Works, Sound Doesn't
So I have a SB Audigy SE (SB0570) and I installed Windows 7 about a month ago. Initially, my sound did not work even though I installed the drivers correctly. It began working one day when I restarted the computer in safe mode and then restarted it again normally. Today, however, it failed again. The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that I installed drivers and software for my Sony Handycam last night. I've since uninstalled the software, but to no avail. When I click on the sound icon in the system tray with Winamp playing, I can see the green bar jumping up and down, signifying that there is sound. I've tried using speakers and headphones, so I know it's the sound card that's causing the problem. I have uninstalled my drivers and I've tried daniel_k's drivers (first the ones that were too new for the SE - lol - and then the ones that were designed for the SE, the 2.0 version), the drivers that Windows 7 automatically downloaded for me, the 917x support pack, and the drivers that Creative provides on their site for Windows 7. None of them made any difference. My current driver reports its version as 5.12.1.2020, and Windows says that it's working correctly. Can anyone tell me why I can't get sound even though my drivers seem to work? What might have caused this seemingly random problem?
