Good job, now you tell me about this!!!

At first I thought my MP3s were corrupt. Hopefully something can be done about it soon.

If i click ok, it just prompts me again, and if i click cancel, it cancels the whole install. The same DVD has been used to install Inventor on both vista and xp machines.

if i try to use the FIRSTbase FRC download tool it says that i don't have enough space (the file is 3.06gb and i have 139gb free). if i use the file that i downloaded in the browser, during the setup initialization it stops and tells me that it can't move a file (i don't remember what the file is and now the setup freezes before it gets to that point).

Talking Re: Windows 7

Onething is really slow and it uses 1.25GB of my RAM and it takes 5 min to turn on. I just installed the beta i am actually using it right now it uses less then a gig of RAM and it takes about 2 min to start up. It also has windows powershell an advanced command line and scripting language. It is also much easier to navigate and use very user friend friendly.

Re: Windows 7

Has anyone been able to get LabView running on Windows 7? I received the same error as someone mentioned before. I might play with it a bit since I'm not on the school's crippled internet anymore.

Re: Windows 7

Hmm... not sure... I had LabView working on Vista, but my laptop didn't like Vista, and would randomly freeze up, so Vista didn't work for me. I'm back to using XP. No freezes, LabView runs, and all my games still work, so I'm sticking with it until I need to upgrade.

Re: Windows 7

The thing with vista is that it uses a lot of your cpu at one time. Ever want to scare yourself get the cpu gauge gadget and realize that 48% of your cpu is being used when nothing is open and your mouse isn't moving. So if you want to shell out a lot of money for a oct-proccesor vista's for you (there was a little bit of sarcasim with the oct-proccesor for those of you vista-simpathist).

Re: Windows 7

I can't read through all 8 pages (sorry)

Has anyone tried running the labview installer in xp or vista compatibility mode?



Also, does anyone know whats happening for me? If I'm running a 3d application (game) in windowed mode then click so that its out of focus, the sound for that 3d app stops (more like mute, but the mixer shows no mute icons for the app).

Yeah, um, because we can hold them accountable for all the issues there are.... or not .

Ever looked at the sheer number of services Labview runs upon installation, that are nearly always ON?

Re: Windows 7 runs labview

One of the mentors on my team(Chad) installed windows 7 (got it through his job) on his laptop, and it runs great. No annoying are you sure, thats your sure about running this program that i asked 4 times if you were sure about downloading, and then my fire wall wouldn't let you get. Windows 7 it looks solid, and runs solid.
After installing it Chad said he had to install labview 8.5.1 piece by piece but now that's on their it runs really good. We haven't exported any of his subVI's yet, but it accepted the upgrade with out a hitch, so it's got to have some good backwards compatibility.
Oh it comes with IE8 (internet explorer 8) which also looks great.

IE8 is technically-challenged. Too unstable in terms of compatibility of sites.

Of course, being the good human being that I should be, I installed FireFox3 before any other piece of software.

Re: Windows 7

I've downloaded and installed both the 32-bit version of Windows 7 onto my laptop and the 64-bit version onto the media center computer in our apartment. What's surprised me the most is not only the remarkable increase in performance over Vista, but that it hardly needs any additional drivers out of the box to actually work.

On my laptop, on Windows XP I had about a dozen drivers to install. After wiping the hard drive and installing Windows 7 fresh, I only had to install audio driver, touchpad driver (to get the ability to scroll webpages, as otherwise it worked), and a general Dell driver (to make all those Fn keys work). On the media center computer, which was also wiped clean before install, I only had to install an ethernet driver. Previously on Vista, it took hours to get all the drivers on this machine to play nice with each other.

Back when it was running Vista, our media center computer couldn't play Blu-Ray discs at all; they would play but the video was so choppy it was unwatchable. After upgrading to Windows 7, using the same software to play the disc, the performance gain was actually enough to make low-action scenes entirely watchable. It was only during high-action scenes where stuff was very fast moving where the computer bogged down and became choppy.

I'm really impressed with Windows 7 so far, as it's light-years better than Vista. So far,

7 is to Vista as XP was to ME.
