Vista Work Properly, Win 7 No, On Same Hardware
on my pc with Vista Home Premium I installed in dual-boot Windows 7 RTM on a dedicated partition. While Vista works perfectly for two years, never a blue screen, never crashes, W7 does not want to work. Gave me now a blue screen error, now another one. Then I tried to install it, leaving only the original Ram removing the RAM added by me, I disconnected the USB stick, and everything worked beautifully. I left the PC on for a whole day installing programs, antivirus, various tools, all ok!
The day after I entered the second bank of memory and the problems begin: Errors "PCI Express", Pc locked, BSOD frequently. Why with the same hardware Vista is practically perfect and with W7 crashes? I downloaded the drivers from the mainboard site, from the site of the video card, but not useless.

Getting Win 7 RC To Work Properly With A DVI Monitor
I know the beta would not connect properly to a DVI display, meaning no vga <-> dvi adapters. it simply would not display on a straight dvi display. Anyone having better luck with the RC. before i go through the process of the install i'm hoping to see someone with some good news. If MS can get that part right i'll be the first guy with cash in hand at the store...

Network And Sharing Doesn't Work Properly
I have a Windows 7 laptop connected via a WRT54G2 wireless router to an XP SP3 desktop. Both the laptop and desktop can see shared resources and both can connected to the internet. In the Laptop's Network and Sharing Center, however, things are not correct. The Laptop has two connections to the router, lan and wireless. The lan's connection appears OK, but I cannot generate a map. I get "Windows cannot discover any computer or device." The wireless network is public. I don't know why and I don't know how to change it. Also, when I try to create a new network connection, the laptop sees only a WRT160N router (which I don't have; perhaps I did a while ago, when the laptop ran Vista). No place to add a new one. I have Cisco's Network Magic and it can correct see everything, including the right router.

UPGRADE Versions Work On OEM Vista Or XP ?
I learned today that Microsoft is giving us a pre-order period during which we can purchase the "upgrade versions" of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional at significantly discounted prices. My question is all of my computers have OEM XP or OEM Vista. Can I purchase those UPGRADE versions and install on my computers?I read online that we cannot. On the other hand, I think many people have computers with pre-installed OEM Vista, and my guess is that Microsoft will let them purchase the upgrade versions of Win 7??? But I'm not sure. I really love Windows 7 and would like to upgrade ALL of my computers. Please let me know if the pre-orders (upgrade versions) work on my OEM machines. Lastly, can I use those disks to clean install on the same computers down the line? and even if I swap the motherboard, HDD etc, can I still reuse the pre-ordered Win 7 so long as I install XP or Vista (OEM or full) first on the machine?

Will WD Passport Work With Win 7 ?
I have a Western Digital Passport #WDME1600TE (refurbished), it's drive size is 160GB, (149GB usable), at least that's what it showed in XP Pro. I currently have a XP Pro backup on it that I don't even have the laptop for anymore. I never really understood the way the thing worked. You plugged it in, logged on like you would a PC, then you could either use it the way it was (even on another's computer), or you could "sync" at any time. I did "sync" my deceased laptop on it, but not all files were copied. I could visually see which files were and were not being copied. Fortunately, I never had to use the backup that was created on it. Is there other software that I could install on this external drive that would make it simple to use. All I want to do is create a backup, not carry it around and use it on everyone else's computer. And I want ALL of my files to be copied. I hope that this post is understandable and that someone knows what I'm talking about.

Upgrade From Win Vista Ultimate To Win 7 Home Premium
I have 2 PCs with Vista Ultimate it on and I bought 2 "upgrades" (or downgrades - you decide) to Windows 7 Home Premium (I never use Bit Locker and only need English). When I bought the upgrades (Amazon.com), it stated that I can do this upgrade.However when I attempted to upgrade it stated that I can only do a reinstall. Can I purchase an upgrade from 7 Home Premium to 7 Ultimate that works at pre install oris there a work around? There is nothing I hate more about Windows than having to reinstall applications, drivers, and updating the registry.

Finding Drivers That WILL Work With Win 7
i am having trouble getting this crappy Wireless USB Adapter to work Ativa Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. I have the latest Beta* Vista Drivers from there site. Their support is complete crap. The FAQ say the supplied Drivers will work with Vista and they don't. I had to download the freaking 93MB Driver File and i had to enter Windows Vista and windows 7 with Option "Disable driver signature enforcement" to install them and i HAVE to stay in that mode at all times. Trying to boot into Windows 7 the Device's Driver don't work cause they are not Digitally Signed. Any help in fixing this or finding other Drivers would be great! It's a pain having to enter that mode every time i have to restart.

Which GPS Hardware Is Known To Work With Win 7 ?
I want to play around with the new location support of Windows 7, maybe try writing a gadget or two. I have an old GPS unit (Royaltek RTG-2000) that apparently does not get recognized as a sensor, so I guess I'll have to buy a newer one. I tried to find a list of GPS hardware known to work, but couldn't really find anything. Does anyone know about a compatibility list like this? Alternatively, if you got GPS working with Windows 7, I'd love to read about your experiences/suggestions.

Does An NDIS 5.1 Miniport Work Under Win 7 ?
In the past I have been responsible for the Orinoce Wireless drivers. At this moment I am trying to get my driver working under Windows 7. I still have all the source code, so I can easily debug. What I am seeing at this moment is the following: to access the orinoco adapter, io-ports are being used. registration etc during start-of-day all seems to work fine. There is one register that is r/w, it simply latches the information written to it. When I write a certain value to that register, reading back always gives me 0xFFFF (and not the value I wrote to it). It almost seems as if the adapter is 'not enabled' (as PCMCIA adapter have to be via the Configuration Register. This enabling is normally an action performed by the OS (certainly up to Vista). Firts question is: should a regular NDIS 5.1 driver (which is functional for XP and Vista) work for Windows 7 ? If indeed the adapter is not 'enabled', what options do I have to achieve this.

Why Win 7 32 Bit Does Not Work With 4 Gb Ram ?
Today i have upgradet my ram memory by repleasing my exsisting 1 GB pices with 2 x 2 gb to use dual chanell. Windwows 7 rcognized the new memory but uses only 3 GB. To use all 4 GB should I go to 64 Bit version of Windows 7?

Also i have conected my PC with LCD TV through DVI to HDMI cable for HD Movies 720i, 1080i and 1080p. My configuration is as follows Inte Core 2 Duo 6420, Asrock 4Core 1600 Twins P35, 4 Gb Ram, 2 x WD HDD 160 GB raid edition (but not conected in RAID conection) and 1 Hitachy HDD 500 Gb also purchased today, 9600 GT 512 Mb Palit graphix and 5.1 speakers. I use K-lite cdecs pack for .mkv videos and Power DVD 9 for hardware acceleratinon for HD .avi movies. If I switch to 64 Bit would I be able to enjoy my PC like i describet? And if I dont whill the games have benefit from the RAM? Â

Keyboard Does Not Work After Install Win 7
On 10/25 I downloaded Windows 7 and it turned out to be a big mistake. I lost all of my files except for the ones I put on my flash drive (now I will take the blame for this part because I did not know I had to back-up my stuff) I thankfully still had my office 2007 disc and at first. I was able to use office 2007 without the product key, but I just now retrieved my product key from the office team but it seems to be to late for it will no longer ask me for it and no longer allow me to use Office at all [it will load up but will not allow to type anything]. The worst part about this is that I am taking online classes at University of Phoenix and cannot do my work. Another major problem is that my (C) drive is completely full now and I do not have room for anything outside of Adobe and Office.Â

Vista OEM + Win 7 Upgrade = Win 7 Retail?
This is not a question about the logistics of installing the OS -- I've already found out that you can do a clean install with the upgrade media. It is more a question of what I am entitled to do with my Win7 license (does it retain the OEM limitations or is it a retail version)? When I buy the Win7 upgrade am I "destroying" my Vista OEM license and creating a Win7 Retail license OR do I now own a Vista OEM and Win7 OEM license which are both tied to the same machine?  Specifically I am concerned with the following scenario: I currently own Machine 1 with Vista OEM installed on it. I purchase Win7 upgrade, so now I have Machine 1 with Win7 on it. In a year or two I plan on building a new machine, let’s call it Machine 2. I am going to take Machine 1 out of service completely or install an old retail copy of XP on it at this time. Am I licensed to install Win7 on Machine 2 OR is that license stuck with Machine 1?
