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.Â
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

Games Won't Load From Win 7 Games Folder
When trying to execute games on my laptop from the Windows 7 Games Folder, they won't work unless the laptop is plugged in. However, those same games work perfectly well when my laptop isn't plugged in if stated from the regular .exe. Is there a way to change the settings on the Games Folder so that I can play my games without this issue? Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor L310 4GB RAM

Win 7 Freezes When Play 3d Games
Windows freezes at random interval's while I play game's, but it seems to be only with certain games not particularly graphically intense but 3d accelerated none the less. I've done everything I can think of to fix it, 1)Scan disk 2)Defrag 3)Mem-test 4)Windows totally updated 5)Tried drivers version 185, 190 and 192.62 or whatever the latest ones are from 1/8/10 6)I checked my drives to ensure there was no corruption 7)disabled services 8)disabled programs at startup 9)Scanned my registry 10)Scanned for Malware 11)Scanned for Virus's, spyware all the stuff. 12)turned of the UAC 13)ran in compatiblity mode (which never works so I don't know why I ever bother doing it) 15)all my other drivers are the most recent version even my mouse. 16)tried 2 different Nvidia cards. 17)change all kinds of settings in bios, even the stupid cool'n'quiet bs. 18)questioned myself on why I bought an Nvidia card since my wife has an identical computer with an ATI card and has no problems. 19)Checked the event logs, all thats in them is error auditing has stopped, and the computer is recovered from my un=lawfull attempt to hard-restart it after it froze. 20)I have a 750 Corsair PSU no problem with power, 21)my cpu at max runs at 40C, my GPU is max around 50. 22)I tried all the suggestions Nvidia offered which equals 0 23)I tried all the support microsoft offered which was ensure the power is turned on. 24)dxdiag say's everythings ok. 25)Disabled the Aero Theme 26)Tried Completely disabling my second monitor. 27)Updated motherboard drivers, Chip set drivers, 28)Checked Reliability monitor and Events log, nothing. 29)Disabled physx. I don't know what to do with it, I meen theres a-lot of stuff I have done other then that I cannot remember even. It ran fine on vista 64, which this computer was on when I upgraded to 7 Ultimate 64. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Make Older MS Games WIN 7 Compatible
There are a number of games that MS issued back about 15-20 years ago that I have enjoyed playing even with Vista. However these games are incompatible with Windows 7 64 bit. Does anyone know how I can get these games to run on Win 7 64 bit. Its a shame if I can't since I have enjoyed them all these years. The games initially were issued as WEP 1, 2 and 3 and are as follows: Blackjet, Winmine (the older minesweeper game), Cruel, Golf (not the golf game), Tetris, Fugigolf, Jezzball, Maxwell, Rodent and Tutstomb. I would hope Microsoft would reissue these games in their original form but compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. They are not sophisticated, but they are very enjoyable.

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?

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.

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?

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 doesn’t allow any legacy support? Now Windows 7 is touted as being the “End-All-Be-All� 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.

Win 7 Product Support Lifecycle
I was looking on microsofts Support Lifecycle web page and found that, windows 7 is only supported until 2015. Well thats not very long. If you have pro there is extended support up to 14/01/2020. Windows 7 has only just been released. Windows should have main support for at least ten years, as it takes that long to get all the bugs sorted out. I also don't want to keep upgrading all the time. XP support runs out on 08/04/2014, so not much point in buying windows 7 then. Link http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselectwin Why is Microsoft doing this?

Win 7 NIC Card Support Lacking
Basic question: Does Windows 7 have built in drivers for NIC cards? I am trying to install Win 7 to a barebones Shuttle K45 system. Win 7 installs seamlessly, but cannot connect to the internet. NIC card light is flashing but no driver. When I try to load drivers from the CD that came with the MB, it complains that it does not know the Win 7 OS so no drivers are installed. Without internet access I can not send MS feedback or get updates. I installed XP, but Win 7 will not do an upgrade to XP. XP works fine. Installed Vista Ultimate and it works fine, NIC and hardware is all OK with these two OS systems. It is just a problem with getting driver into WIN 7 that will allow a Generic Marvell Yukon Chipset based Ethernet Controller to communicate with Router. Any ideas on how I can proceed so I can test Win 7 on this new machine?
