Yeah, I hadta git a laptop with win 7. That really sucks for this 70 yo guy. Hafta google anything I want to do to find out how. And then theres the things I CAN'T do. To me its about CHOICE. I shouldnt have to take what they shove down my throat. Why not offer 2 microsoft systems? Win 7 and Win XP. They know XP would win. But all who wanted what could get it. I'm sure its about money.
my notebook desktop icon all change to Microsoft word icon also the extensions change to LNK file (.lnk) except my computer and recycle bin icon, I used windows 7 ultimate x64?
In Windows 7, all the good icons are in %SystemRoot%system32imageres.dll, but we're still taken to the old SHELL32.dll when it comes time to change an icon.
Is there a registry key or something that we can change to remedy this?
I am upgrading a Dell 5150 Pentium D to 4GB of RAM and a Radeon 6850 this week. Does it make any sense for me to consider upgrading the OS to Windows 7?
I am running windows 7 HP in 32 bit and i want to change to a 64bit OS.i had no idea that i needed a 64 bit OS, and got win7 HP disk that is only 32bit when i upgraded from vista.Here are my questions.
1. What is the cheapest method to get the task done. What disk or download do i need?
2. Can it be done as an upgrade, keeping existing files? or is a clean install the only method?
3. i have already downloaded all the drivers in 64 bit versions. can i install the drivers, or make them useable to the windows upgrade/install during the instal process, or do i need to install the drivers after the windows installation is complete?
4. if i have to install drivers after the windows install, is there a way to tell if windows has already used a 64bit driver?
I am running windows 7 64 bit on second life..My pc was built for gaming because I do work in carrara 8 pro but it states you can only run second life on a 32bit and when in there my fans work twice as hard, how can I solve this problem without messing things up?

How can I change a 64 bit system to a 32 bit system. I do not want to reinstall new windows 7, but fine more programs are available for 32 bit system. Can I over lap. Is there software out their that can do this sort of thing.
I know that I'm going to get: Why on earth would anyone want to change from 7 to XP? The answer has to do with audio. I have an interface/drivers/DAW/plug-ins that very simply ran like a top with my old XP 64 and is somehow creating CPU spikes that is making it impossible to proceed with my project.I have spent a week troubleshooting, looked into all options and I've decided that I've had it. This computer will no longer surf the web or do anything besides audio.......at least until I can afford to upgrade properly. I need the fastest solution, not necessarily the best. Another issue I am having is that I do not have a disk, only an image on my external HD. I have tried three kinds of DVD-R's in two different drives with four different programs and continue to get I/O errors. I suspect it is the media itself (Maxell and memorex ) but I don't drive so painting the town red to buy different 20 dollar packs of DVD's that MIGHT work doesnt sound good.SO, with all of that out of the way. Here's what I have:
1. Windows 7 (64) installed 2. An ISO image of windows XP (64) installation disc on a USB HD 3. A USB flash drive
I would like to have windows XP running and anything beyond that is unimportant.
