Cool Toolbar On Top Of Screen
Dec 7, 2008Been testing Windows 7 since yesterday on 2 PCs and I admit they run as smoothly as no other Beta so far...I'd give Windows 7 to be the best release after XP, but I guess time will tell.
Anyways, I got a question...I've been seeing this nice toolbar on top of the screen on some screenshots of yours, does anybody know what it is and where I can find it? I'm submitting a picture with a small,discreet arrow pointing at what I mean exactly.
Any ideas?
Using Cool Edit Pro With Windows 7?
Jul 30, 2012Working for a radio station, I've been using Cool Edit Pro on XP machines for serveral years. Now have Windows 7 Pro with XP virtual built in. However, I cannot get Cool Edit to recognize the line in in the Virtual machine, and it of course doesn't work at all in Win 7. Has anyone had success in getting this app to work?

Aug 29, 2012My asus g60jx laptop recently went down with a fried motherboard [ =( ], I had originally planned on getting another asus as I really enjoyed the one I had. Im starting to wonder wether or not I should get a PC instead. I really just want something powerful enough to play modern games and maintain good fps etc... I dont need a "master of the universe" computer, something around 700-800 dollars. I have seen the refurbed asus's for around that price and it seems most come with the i7, 1.5-2gb graphics, 6-8gb ram etc. What I am really wondering is, how much more could I get for the same money out of a pc? Or how much would similar speccs cost for a pc? I love the mobility of a laptop, but if i can save a few hundred and get the same thing I would be pretty stoked.

View 4 Replies View RelatedGaming Laptop Processor Massively Underperforming
May 15, 2011I have a Alienware M15x laptop with system specs I have until now considered to be quite good. I recently had to reinstall Windows, a bad Torrent download corrupted my computer and I didn't have a Windows Recovery Disc. Many people tell me not to care about the Windows Experience Index, but here's the rating: It used to be 6.0, 6.6, 5.5, 5.9 and 5,9. Now it's 4.1, 6.4, 5.1, 5.5 and 5.9. The one that has lowered the most is the Processor component. Now, if my computer's performance hadn't been affected, I wouldn't have bothered. However, it did. I used to be capable of running GTA 4 at maximum settings at 1980x1080 without lag, Crysis 1 and 2 at medium-high settings at that same resolution, as well as many games such as Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bioshock, Borderlands, F.E.A.R. 1 and 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 at varying quality settings. Now, even at the lowest settings I can't run any of these games without a very noticeable stutter, often making it impossible for me to play these games.
I have a Page File set for my two disk drives (I have only one Hard Drive, partitioned to separate my games from the rest of the system).I have Avast! as my antivirus, and I regularly scan my computer with Avast!, Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and Windows Defender, but I never find anything. I also use CCleaner often to clean up the registry.What made my laptop cease to be as powerful as it was before? Was it my reinstalling of Windows? It's really getting on my nerves, seeing that I could play Crysis 2 and it was silk-smooth, but now even games like The Ball, which isn't especially resource-consuming, often stutters and lags when something's happening on-screen.
CPU Temps On Laptop Much Higher While Gaming After Upgrading To SSD?
Dec 27, 2012I recently got a new 120gb SSD to replace my HDD. I have an i7 Lenovo y570, 8gb ram, with switchable graphics using a Nvidia GeForce 555m. Before upgrading, while playing Guild Wars 2 my performance was flawless on ultra graphics running at about 80 C and stable 50 FPS. Now I'm experiencing spiking FPS running at about mid 90's C after 5 mins on the lowest graphics settings! I updated all drivers and installed it correctly to the best of my knowledge.

Jul 22, 2012When i game the game will freeze sound still plays but mouse everything locks up. Have to warm reboot. Other times it goes to black screen, and still have to warm reboot. I had this problem starting a year ago. At that time i did mem test, cpu stress test, gpu stress test, all came back fine. Back then it use to reboot itself. So, i figured maybe a psu issue, it was still under warranty so i sent it off, they did find a bad capacitor and replaced! Cool no a month after getting it back started doing as mentioned above. So, at that time i had a 8800GTX 1.5 gig video card in it. So, i spent the money and went to a Geforce 560 GTX 2 gig, eventhough i had stressed tested the 8800. Ok so a week or so went by all good then it started up again. Only has it locked up once while not gaming. Always locks on WOT(world of tanks unless i use the older 275 nvidia driver) DIdnt use to lock up with Diablo III, TSW, SWTOR, SCII. Untill recently sometimes its once or twice a night others its 3 or 6 times. I ran a Mem test a week ago ran for 9 plus hours no errors.

Aug 6, 2012Had this issue a few weeks ago, couldn't fix it. I got fed up and reformatted thinking that would solve a driver issue...but the problem persisted. I finally resorted to swapping out my ATI 6870 to an NVidia 8800 and the problem ceased...for awhile. Now it happens once or twice a day, only while gaming or some other intensive process. I do not know what to do.

Jun 14, 2012This is just where people can offer their thoughts and opinions on windows 7.
1: Is windows 7 really the best for gaming?
2: Do you think windows 8 will be better than windows 7 for gaming?
3: Why do you like windows 7?
4: Why do people hate Vista?
5: Is XP dead?
6: Why do Gamers still stick with XP?
I have been using XP Pro x64 for a few years now and the latest games have been mainly optimized for vista and 7. And XP x64 is a very early version of x64 operating systems which has a few Compatibility and driver issues. Since Game companies are heading for directX 10 and 11 will this perhaps make XP obsolete for gamers? But what about Vista? When i upgraded from XP to Vista specifically for DX10 i noticed that i had a huge decrease in performance, even in DX9. People say that this is because of Vista's Aero Interface, I find this hard to believe considering windows 7 has an even more complex Aero interface and performs much better in an gaming enviroment.
