In one of the other threads it was suggested that a solution was available. I have already send an E-mail to the Lightscribe team itself but no answer....
Can anybody help me, I have found part of the solution but am still unable to install the Lightscribe system software.
Help is extremely welcome, I would hate to have to go back to Vista because of this simple issue..
I just downloaded LightScribe on my Windows 7 32bit and everytime I put a disk in upside down for it to work the disk just keeps spinning like its trying to read it over and over and thats all it will do. How do I get it to stop this so I can use this program?
Has anyone had a problem loading the software for lightscribe. I have tried to install ver 1.17.90.1 but says that it is not compatable with this version of windows.
I recently installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit on my computer. I actually installed it clean, because I had Ultimate on it; unfortunately, the copy I obtained was not genuine, so I got a genuine Professional in its stead. This problem started in, but I figured when I got a genuine copy of Windows, it would be fixed. No such luck.n is pressed; I have to stick a paperclip in the manual eject hole. The Device Manager doesn't even show that a CD Drive is installed, neither does any other program. I tried editing the registry myself and deleting the "upper filters" line, or whatever it is, but that didn't work. I have been attempting to find drivers, tools, or anything else that could help with this, but nothing seems to be working.Here are the specs for my computer: Product Specifications HP Pavilion dv2945se Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
1. I going to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit in the next couple of hours. Can anyone tell me if Firefox supports the features of Windows 7 like the displaying thumb previews on the taskbar? And other features? I really don't want to use IE8!
2. I have some private files on my PC like my CV/Bank Card details, I want to put them somewhere safe and put a password on them, how do I do this without buying 3rd party software?
3. I have 2 partitions on my HDD, C and D. I will move my personal files to drive D. And do a clean install of Windows 7 on the C(currently Vista installed here) drive. Is this ok? Any issues I may experience?
I purchased a Dell XPS 8300 almost 1 year ago.The last couple months I have had boot issues when I turn the pc on.All hardware tests (since I purchased the pc have passed with no problems).The boot issues are where all the icon's for the short cuts do not load and or the icon to show I am connected to the internet does not load properly. If I try to do alt/control/delete I cannot access anything.Then in most cases if I do a hard re-boot,the computer boots properly.Today was the killer. My wife turned on the pc and she got a blank screen.She then attempted a hard re-boot and for over 3 hr's it showed "loading game" on the middle of the screen. When I came home for lunch,my wife was on the phone with Dell. After they had her do a hard re-boot,the computer booted properly (after the usual "start windows normally" option came up. The "tech" connected on the pc and basically did all the things I could think of (i.e. hardware test to really check the hard drive etc.)When the "tech" could not fiqure out any other issue,he said that we will need to re-set to factory settings and that they are sending us a usb key to do that. In his judgement,there is a problem with the install of Windows 7 and that is the only thing that they can figure out is the problem. Outside of the "booting issues" the pc has worked great and I have had no other problems.
I am not a "techy",but I am also computer literate learning how to do basic things from watching my friends and learning how to access things on Windows to do basic repair. Long and short,does that seem like my only alternative?..I did make the recovery discs,still have the driver discs. I have re-installed Windows before (when I upgraded my Laptop and other desk top to Windows 7) and it is painful to make sure I made copies of everything I want to back-up,which I usually do and re-install all my softwear.
We just brough, a HP Officejet Pro 800 wireless,and cannot, install the driver, it said that the operating system cant support It say the system canot support it
I have two computers that are running Win XP Home and one that is running Win Xp Media Center Edition. Will I have any problems upgrading the Win Xp Media Center Edition?
Currently I'm trying to upgrade the system with Win Xp Home. It has a Gigabyte AMD AM2 Socket (GA-M57 SLI-S4) motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+, 4 GB of ram and a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS sound-card.
I ran the windows 7 upgrade adviser on the computer and then someone suggest I also run the vista upgrade adviser as well. On both it is telling me that there is a problem with "Windows Aero Support". I've seen lots of posts stating it will run on their video card but I have not seen anything on mine and need to know if I can upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium without a problem. My video card is a NVidia Geforce 7900 GTX. Does anyone know if that card will work with Win 7?
Then also it is telling me that my D-Link DWA-130 Wireless USB adapter is a problem. I went to their website and they have Vista drivers but not Win 7. Someone suggested not downloading the D-Link drivers but downloading the vista drivers and that it would work. I have little knowledge regarding Win 7 and therefore didn't know if this was good advice or bad advice on downloading the vista drivers. Is anyone here using this wireless adapter successfully with Win 7?
Last it mentions that it is not compatible with the Creative Game Port. I don't know if this is something that is downloaded with my Gigaabyte motherboard recovery disc. I don't think it was something I installed but not sure. AS far as I know it is not something I'm using so it doesn't matter if it isn't compatible (at least I think it's not). I didn't know if anyone knew about this.
I'm hoping anyone that has experience with any of this hardware will let me know if it is compatible with Win 7 before I upgrade it only to find it is compatible to upgrade.
I entered the CD and then it automatically booted, and then it went through the usual setup routine and the problem started when it reached the part where I'm supposed to choose where to install Windows.I formatted Local Disk "C" and then chose it to install there, it then said: This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.I then shut down the PC and then re-booted it, it read the CD and then went to "Windows is loading files" then skipped the installation and went for the normal "Starting Windows"... It's weird because I don't have a "C" so how come it says that without having windows? Anyway, it passes this screen and suddenly it just glows in multi colors until I have to shut it down myself. Trying again gave the same response (Which means I can't access the install screen. All what I have is the BIOS menu)There is no way I can return the CD at the moment, and I lost the previous Windows disk...
I use Help and support frequently. Finding the answer to a problem is one thing, finding it a second time is another. When you're dealing with web pages it's easy to find what you've found a second time. You just copy the URL and paste it somewhere so it can be clicked on in the future, but not so with Help and support.
The only way I know of to find a particular page again is to write down my steps (like in a word processor) and then retrace them. Just wondering if I'm missing something or if there is an easier way?
Tonight I will be configuring a newly-purchased Sony VPCCW290X with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.Almost by accident, I have read/discovered that Windows 7 allegedly either doesn't work with WEP, or doesn't work well with WEP.Our home router is a Netgear WGR614 v9 (802.11g).The reason that we "have" to use WEP is that there is an old Mac laptop on the home network, running OS 9.2 (yes, this is OLD!) that does not support WPA. That is, OS 9.2 does not support WPA, and there is no hardware or patch available making it support WPA.So I've read dozens of threads in these forums about Windows 7 and WEP or WPA, and they just seem to be arguments over whether Windows 7 does or does not support WEP. All I want is a definitive set of instructions of how to get THAT computer to connect to our home network, using WEP.url...is a link to the specific computer, if that matters.I'd imagine that Windows 7 is "backwards compatible" enough to support WEP; I just want to get this new computer onto our home network.
I own a HP HDX-18 Notebook (it has 4GB RAM), and I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) not too long ago. The laptop was being problematic giving me a blue screen of death with a 'Power_Driver_State_Failure' message, so I figured it could be problems with driver compatibility. I formatted the hard drive again, and installed a 32bit version of windows 7.
When I right click and go to 'My Computer', it only acknowledges that 3gb out the 4gb ram is being used. Why is this? Is Windows 7 incapable of supporting up to 4gb ram? Do you guys think I'm better restoring the laptop to factory settings (Vista Home Premium) with the recovery CD?
I have an asus p5ld2 motherboard with the realtek audio chipset, gameport, etc. I play several games that utilize a controller plugged into the gameport connector ( 1 of them is an old racing controller from a realrace 2 rc car racing sym) and I am inquiring/wondering if microsoft is or will support such a port or controller arraingement.
I see no controller listed as anything in the device listing, nor an unknown port, etc.
[The following are not the problems i faced on Windows XP]. I've connected my PC via HDMI 1.3!
I installed Windows 7 x64 in my PC. The real big problems i'm facing is with Nvidia.
1. First thing scaling didn't work i tried to fix it but no hopes. Good my monitor had built in scaling.
2. 59hz monitor refresh rate is another pain. My display works perfect in 60.001hz @ 1920x1200 resolution but it still resets to 59hz. Nvidia in there latest driver has informed that its the problem with Windows 7 OS. And microsoft says there is no theartical difference from 59hz and 60hz. Well there is huge difference especially when your play movies via DXVA in Media player classic home cinema where you your full colour range and shaders which causes some kind of boxing and not artifacts! Everything was proper in Windows Xp
3. Finally i don't about other but i've noticed massive difference in colour depth which is set to 32-bit but its showing only 24-bit colours which can easily be noticed in movies and games like Crysis. HDMI 1.2 supports upto 24-bit colour. But PC or PS3 has HDMI 1.3 which support 32-bit same as DVI connection. My monitor has upto 48-bit colour depth so the difference in colours while in 24-bit can be easily noticed.
Seriosuly is this a design flaw or enabling these would cause different problems. If any one has got a solution for this i would be happy to hear!
Is anyone else having problems with WMP12 acting weird when playing .MOV files?
Just try one of these here: NASA - NASA High Definition Video
When skipping ahead in the video WMP encounters an error for me.
Also why is there no association of .MOV with WMP on the web? I don't want to have to download QuickTime to watch apple trailers when WMP supposed plays .MOV files (albeit not very good it seems)
i read that windows 7 has native support for mkv files. yet when i try to open an mkv file in media center it doesnt work. am i missing something? im running Windows 7 pro
I downloaded the WMPTagSupportExtender.1.4.msi file and it installs fine, but when I use WMP, it doesn't seem to do anything. I hear that using this allows WMP to play .flac files along with the Win7Codecs, but nothing's happening. Am I supposed to enable something? If so, how do I do it?
Back in the XP days...the Home version didn't let you use Remote Desktop Connection to log into your work/home computer. Windows 7 site isn't exactly clear when comparing all versions of 7....can you use RDC on ANY version of 7, including the basic Home Premium version? Their comparison between all 3 doesn't mention RDC.
I wanted to install Vista to do a couple of tests. I don't have any spare machines, so I thought I'd install in a virtual machine under Windows 7. Windows Boot Manager gave me his message:
"Attempting to load 64 bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64bit mode."
Of course my computer is ok with 64bit (my primary OS is Win 7 64 bit).
Is Microsoft VPC not compatible with 64 bit guest systems?
I am planning to purchase a new computer system which will have Windows 7 (which I am not familiar with) installed on it.
On Microsoft's page comparing the different versions of Windows 7, one of the differences it check marks for Windows 7 Ultimate is "Work in the language of your choice and switch between any of 35 languages". This is not checked for Windows 7 Professional. Does this mean that to have full Hebrew support (as in all versions of Windows XP including Home) one must get "Ultimate" or is that only for some sort of additional language support? Doesn't Windows 7 Home Premium include the same kind of Hebrew support that XP Home does which would be adequate?
If no one is familiar with this, could someone running Windows 7 Home Premium go to the wherever the language/keyboard options are and see if one can select other languages & keyboards, particularly Hebrew?
2) Can I use windows 64 bit with 4 modules of ddr3?
3) Can windows 7 64 bit configure 32 bit memory channels?
4) Can I expect windows 7 64 bit to configure 128 bit width memory on dual channels 4 modules, or 256 bit width on dual channel 4 modules? (32 bit x 4 ddr3 modules)
5) Do I need to get a windows 7 64 bit + 32 bit OS package to use both 32 bit and 64 bit width memory configure?
7) Can windows run in 64 bit mode while use 32 bit architecture?
8) Can windows 7 64 bit be restricted to 32 bit when needed? or will I need a package that has suport for both 32 bit and 64 bit?
I'm asking because most all games I check on play with 32 bit os and only need 64 bit for DX11 graphics. I think one OS that can run both 32 and 64 bit with a click or switch users could be what I am looking for.
Windows 7 came with no A2DP support and MS asked bluetooth hardware manufacturer to add this feature in driver upgrade. All bluetooth hardware on laptop where most of the time we need A2DP are made by Broadcomm (widcomm software), Toshiba or CSR. The last 2 manufacturer seem to have A2DP in Vista which should work in W7 but for Broadcomm nothing around.
I like the snippet tool, about time, wish there was a key shortcut, similar to OS X -
Anyway, I see in device driver that FIREWIRE sets up fine (TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) on my INTEL motherboard, but the device, high end Mackie firewire device, does not work.
Installed the MACKIE ASIO driver and nothing, not even a POP UP saying NEW DEVICE found.
This is a shame if this turns out to be true as the lack of Vista driver (more than one year after Vista came out), made me go to a Mac for the past year.
Was hoping the vista driver would work, especially since it's a standard ASIO audio driver for Vista.
