Why Won't Windows 7 Work On Setup
Mar 6, 2010
I bought Windows 7 in the middle of Jan. this year and it don't work on my PC. It will install but after the install I lose all video from my Graphics Card. But XP doesn't have that problem like 7 does. I have called Microsoft multiple times about the issue and they have not figured out the problem. Is it a problem with my GTS250 or what else would the problem be. I also have had all my other hardware tested and have found no faults to it. I would like to use windows 7 but Microsoft can't figure out the problem.

I recently purchased a Dell laptop with Win 7 Home Prem. installed. I've been unable to discover if you can set it up to open files, etc. with a single as opposed to double-click of the mouse. I remember for sure that you could do this with Win XP.

120GB Fujitsu Hard drive is set to IDE, but I've tried AHCI as well. 2GB Crucial RAM.Motherboard is ASUS M4A785-M, processor is OEM Phenom II x4 920. Using on board graphics. The only USB device that is plugged in is my mouse. I've tried 2 different ISOs and almost all the editions and I get the same result. I've tried installing the chipset driver along with it, but when I do it just freezes after it restarts.I'm starting to think that something isn't compatible with a 64 bit OS, even though everything is listed..

one of the netbooks was plugged in to initially power it up, but then hard-shut-down before Windows could run through its initial setup.Now when I boot up the netbook, and it attempts to go through the initial windows setup "Setup is starting services", and then throws an error message: The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.I restart, and the cycle continues. This happens whether I try to boot normally or in safe modeI've got no CD-drive attached to it, so I'm not sure what I can do to break this error cycle.

My work programs require XP and supposedly will not function on windows 7 nor the XP mode of same. I need a new computer, most likely a laptop, so I can work while traveling. I can't buy XP anymore. Any suggestions other than a new job?

I am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows7 Home Premium and I got this message after the installer copied ~2GB of files on my PC:
"setup can't continue. restart the computer and restart setup. when prompted try getting the latest updates."
I restarted the PC and restarted the setup and I got the same message. I updated the Mother Board Bios and restarted the setup I got the same message. I have tried both options (get update and no update during the setup). And it didn't work.
I do not want to do custom install (fresh install) on my computer.

I need to setup a VPN with two Windows 7 computers to enable file sharing so that I can ideally map a network drive to the server from the client. Ive got it to the point where the VPN connects but when I try to ping between any of the computers on the two networks it doesnt go.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I cannot install some programs that have to beusing setup.exe (if I use msi installer - it's OK, but some programs like Adobe Photoshop Elements must be installed using setup.exe). When I click on setup.exe, I'm instantly getting a message that this file cannot be found.
This is not a problem with the particular program, but with many. Also, couple months ago I didn't have these problems with the same programs. I've tried Microsoft FixIt - didn't help. I don't know when this happened, but at least two months ago, so I cannot even use the restore point.
I'd also ran SFC /scannow, it fixed some problems, but not this one. Are there any ways to fix this besided re-installing Windows?

I'm setting up a semi public computer, but we want to limit it to a group of about 50 people. Can I give them each a standard account, username and password? Or is that too many users?I'd like to be able to log them separately so that they can be billed according to the time used.

Almost one month ago, I installed win x64. Working fine, no problems! All games running smooth... But when I try to install Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, the easetup.exe/autorun.exe does not start at all! Nothing on task manager or no error message either.

I don't have an answer but I do have a similiar problem. I upgraded from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on my netbook. I created a bootable USB, copied the windows 7 files onto it and everything worked OK. However, when I bootup I also get the Boot Manager screen offering me 2 options:
Windows 7
Windows setup (EMS enabled)
which goes ahead and boot into Windows 7 after a countdown. Why would I ever want to boot into Winsdows setup? I would like to know if there is a proper way to bypass this boot manager screen. When I was installing the upgrade, I did see a small 40mb partition which was "reserved by the OEM" which I could not use, is that anything to do with it?

I just purchased a OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB and was wondering what is the recommended setup for an SSD? I currently have a WD Raptor 300 GB, a older WD 150 GB hard drive and I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Is it recommended to use the SSD just for the Operating System or can you use it for all of your programs?

My office is undergoing a Windows 7 migration and we'll be purchasing ~20 machines. I'd like to optimize each machine by turning off various services and creating a global standard user profile. We run a workgroup, is there a way I can copy the service.msc mods and the global user profile from a single machine and apply those changes to all machines?

I would need some advice on the following issue I am encountering on my Windows 7 MCE setup.The unit is a GF8300 motherboard with a low power AMD CPU. I am primarily using the HDMI output both for audio and video, quite recently since prior to that I as using an old DSP-A1 with SPDIF input only, so only video was routed through the HDMI output.Note that I reinstalled everything from scratch, and no additionnal codec installed (except Haali media splitter and the associated registry hack to enable MKV support in MCE).I'm located in Europe, so I use the 1920x1080 50Hz setting, latest NV drivers.I have now a new amplifier (Denon AVR-3311), and I'm running into several issues.Mode switch: WMC keep changing mode output. When playing back LiveTV, it goes into 1080i mode. Likewise playing a video file results into a mode switch (and for that I still don't understand why, since the video file is 1080p).HDMI hotplug autodetection: the new amplifier has an HDMI switch built-in. Problem is... when I switch input on the amplifier, the MCE unit registers a hotunplug event. And when it reconnects (ie when I switch back on the input to the MCE PC0, the end result is quite random: I've had instances of 1080i mode, even on the front end, the audio setup is messed up (it goes back from 7.1 to stereo),So if anyone has a way to.Force MCE to NOT switch modes and keep 1080p 50Hz.Disable HDMI hotplug detection

A few years ago I followed the instructions on the zunta blog to set up a vpn tunnel from my work PC (win xp) to my home PC (win xp) using openSSH and putty. Im not a network guy but I followed the directions and eventually got it working. After a year things changed and I didnt need it anymore, but now I need it again. My home Pc now runs windows 7 and the directions are 5 years out of date. Can someone please point me to a tutorial explaining how to set up an ssh tunnel from a putty client to win 7 server? Hopefully it will be easier with Win 7, doesn't Win 7 has something like open ssh built in?

Since I didn't think I liked Windows Live mail, our computer man made the screen look like the old Outlook Express. Now we find that we don't like this as much as the Live mail screen. How do we change it back?

i was wondering if anyone had advice/expierence with windows 7 not working past the welcome screen? yesterday i had been using google chrome and dl'd a song off Internet when suddenly the cpu shutdown. i thought it was powersave mode but it ended up being setup repair. i let a few hours pass and booted again,got to the home screen and it was my previous 3 accounts not a new one where all my files were moved. major problem was that neither my mouse or keyboard worked. i tried going into various safe modes but theyd all result in the same thing. the funny thing is thatboth mouse and keyboard work in the boot and bios but not at login.

I have always advised anyone who asked, to get a clean setup of Windows on any new computer they buy. On a Dell, that usually meant ordering from the Dell business division and specifically asking for a clean setup of Windows and a Dell-branded Windows Setup disk as opposed to a system recovery set.I got a call from someone today who said Dell declined that request and stated they no longer sell any computer from any of their divisions with clean (uncrapified) Windows.

Set-up isn't finishing as the install will crash BSOD 0x0116 with atikmag.sys causing the problem.(**Note, there is NO Minidump found after this crash - I"ve lookedlooked.. and looked... so I took a digital photo of the BSOD screen in the moments it flashed)I can't complete the install using safe mode, but in safe mode I can get to the part where set-up is trying to finish.So, how can I force the install to bypass graphics card driver install and install a standard SVGA driver until I can get the thing to finish set-up??
