Re: Windows 7
 

Are you really having trouble with video?

I can play all of my steam games (TF2 required a volume fix) flawlessly on se7en, but i am using a relatively new video card, so i guess se7en came with the drivers (radeon HD4850)

Re: Windows 7
 

Win7 did not automatically install a driver for the onboard sound on my old off-brand P4 system. I haven't tried to fix it yet....since I don't have a pair of speakers handy to use on it...but I probably will some time.

Youtube video works fine (in blissful silence) after installing firefox, flash player, noscript, and flashblock :)

Re: Windows 7
 

I'm using a built-in video card (laptop), Radeon X1250 I believe. Games worked in XP, but they go all screwy in Win7. TF2, L4D, some other RTS. I'm going to try a quick-fix later today to see if that does anything.

btw, my SteamID is 1up_dave ;)


EDIT: Yeah, the other thing I hate is IE8. Not really a fan of it. But then again, I never really liked IE, even on XP.

Re: Windows 7
 

Drivers maybe? For me, the problem in my ethernet connection is that Nvidia dropped support of it about 4 years ago. Maybe try downloading Vista drivers for it?

Oh by the way, it'll probably not run well because integrated takes your system RAM, and Windows 7 requires you to have 1 GB, so it might be a RAM problem, but then again, I don't know what your system specs are.

No, I can handle it. http://chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpo...9&postcount=71

It's probably just a driver issue. It worked on Vista, and that takes heluva lot more system resources. Just like my fingerprint scanner just had a driver released today.

Re: Windows 7
 

Maybe we should show Microsoft the CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) and have them include that on Win7. That would solve all codec problems with video/audio.

As for drivers, that's a little harder since they're per device and not necessarily generic...

Re: Windows 7
 

I'm hoping they do. That would be a great help. It perplexes me why they haven't included free (beer and liberty) open-source codecs such as Ogg Vorbis with their OS.

Re: Windows 7
 

I installed it on two computers
1)My 2 year-old abit kn8 AMD X2 4200+ with 2gb of ram and an (old IDE) 40GB hdd
ATI Radeon x1300 (dual monitors)
Install took 20min
2)A Several year (more than 5) old Inspiron 600m with and intel centrino at 1.2GHZ 512MB ram and 120gb hdd
install took 32min

computer 1 looks amazing and proforms better than XP SP2, Very impressed:)
computer 2 is snappy but slightly less appealing(no dedicated graphics):(
needless to say i will be keeping my XP and Ubuntu installs on both computers until the final release of Windows 7.

Has anyone got labview to work with Windows 7? i have been getting some errors.

Re: Windows 7
 

I will try it out next chance I get and report back here. What are the errors you're getting?

Re: Windows 7
 

Considering that Windows 7 is still in beta, I wouldn't run Labview on it, mainly because neither Microsoft nor NI can be held accountable for errors, due to the fact that Labview isn't guaranteed to work on Win7 and Win7 is still early beta.

Re: Windows 7
 

True. They also state that this should not be used as a primary OS, and for good reason. But that's why there are adventurous geeks like us me. To be bold like that and try it out anyway.

Re: Windows 7
 

I get error #12 upon installer open (see win7.jpg)
I get error #12 upon the directory destination screen (see win7 2.jpg)

I dont know if i can install each product individually. I'll try that later.

Edit: the first installer is what seems to be causing the problems

Re: Windows 7
 

Yeah, I'm switching from XP Pro 32-bit completely over to Windows 7 64-bit Build 7000. The beta is good until July anyways. I've heard nothing but good things about it so far and how it's really stable with huge performance upgrades, making up where Vista was lacking. I'm just waiting for everything to finish backing up onto my 1TB storage drive at the moment.
The only problem I've heard of is if WMP detects any MP3's, it will cut off the first 3 seconds of all of them. There's a hotfix but it can't be applied before the damage is done.

Re: Windows 7
 

Nice feature.

Re: Windows 7
 

That seems to be the only flaw so far. It is a beta after all, and they're working on a fix right now. It'll definitely be resolved by release.
