So I had a recent PC crash and have reformatted and reinstalled my Windows 7 SP1 OS Problem I am having is that after installing SP1, I am going to Computer..Properties and clicking on 'Activate Windows Now', but it is failing with the message "The product key you typed cannot be used to...

By that logic Quad core cpus should run everything 4 times as fast At any rate, Gigahertz does not equal processing power. I'm surprised someone who has been here 10 years doesn't know this yet

Just tried it. Win 7 is still good to go. FYI my computer restarted when I selected win 7 not sure if that's standard behavior

hmm wonder that myself. I know I got a dual boot screen that has 7/8 available options but I haven't tried 7 yet. I'm about to reboot and see if its still go

riiiiiight

Ive got the GS2 and I have to say I cant wait for my contract to be up. The thing is a pain in the ass. cons: 1) Battery life with the big screen is reallllly short. 2) Had to wait forever to get Android 4.0 on it, they had released 4.1 the day before I got 4.0. Really pissed about that...

thats a shame, thanks for that info

Try a flash page on the Metro IE.. it doesn't load

So I been reading around and apparently metro's IE doesn't support plugins. I have to use the Desktop version to use flash. The reasoning being that plugins use to much battery on laptops. Thing is, I'm on a freaking desktop Am I wrong about this? Or is there a way to install it? I was...

never got my email

Yeah I been reading more about it and you're right doesn't seem possible at this moment. Its a shame since I love the new tiles but they are worthless when minimized all the time

I'm loving the new Metro start page but I want it to remain maximized no matter what. It minimizes whenever I start a program. This gets really annoying since im on a dual monitor setup How do I keep it from minimizing

can a mod plz delete this post I got some help already just looking for 3rd party recos dont need a flame war in here

I wouldn't have made this thread if it wasnt a big deal for me.. I dont think anyone asked if it was a big deal to begin with but pretty ballsy of you to decide whats a big deal for people and what isnt. I don't want to do this for every plugin/app everytime i reformat which is fairly often...

When I have a 5GB / month download cap... yes.. yes it is

Thanks for not reading thru the thread Completely infeasible... so there's no way to integrate TcpView and compare active downloading processes against a compiled list of known offenders? Really?

There definitely oughtta be. These automatic updaters are getting pretty ridiculous. This is a media pc set up to watch HD streaming movies from Netflix, Hulu, Network websites, etc. and does no actual browsing. I definitely don't need 15 other applications leaching bandwidth when I'm trying to...

Um yeah the problem is I dont want to go thru 15 or so application settings and disable them all and have to hunt down any new ones I installed There ought to be a way to block it or a program to do it, in my opinion

Is there a program that can effectively block or eliminate other programs auto-updaters (Java, Adobe, Etc) The windows 7 firewall doesnt reliably do so Any tips?

php sounds like itd be for you

well Many cold reboots later... they finally reawakened... lol... to be honest I didn't try the hibernate feature for the heck of it, i accidentally brushed it on the keyboard. Now i gotta figure out how to disable that button :|

So I attempted to use the fancy Hibernate mode just to see what it does... Everything shut down, Good. Everything powered off, nice. Hit Power button and everything booted back up, check. Then... utter fail. Win 7 refuses to reactivate my usb ports. All of them are fucking useless except...

Asked and Answered Thanks! :D

Everytime I drag a window past the top edge of the screen.... Windows 7 tries to maximize the window ..... No Idea why. How do I disable it

Really? Perhaps you can explain why I can't play more than 3 Minutes of BFBC2 at a time without system hanging on my 5770?

then what explains it doing the same thing when i enable ICS on my laptop?

I'm stumped at the moment. My clearwire wimax ISP works flawlessly when attached to my laptop. Great downloads, always perfect signal, never dies out. Can game, dl music, anything. When I connect the SAME dongle to my PC.. it becomes a nightmare. Can never get above "Good" signal...

If you don't chew Big Red.. then Fuck You!

I don't know about you, but you must've been reading some sidestream tech journalism. Most people were sure the Iphone would fail before it came out. Whaa its too expensive Whaa I have to have a contract and pay for the phone Whaa I only have one service option, etc. With that said I still...

yes

Yeah.. because people who don't have internet access routinely by Apple's products. No, they wouldn't have a smart phone or anything at all :rolleyes:

There are 2 functions for this. 1) E-Book reader 2) A bigass Ipod Touch

At half the price it would be the price of an Ipod Touch... so... No..

Yep Ok so you start off by admitting the Ipad is not a netbook and then go on to compare the prices. Try multitasking in your Ipad. Try reading from a usb drive in your ipad. Try running flash in your ipad. Try storing 17Gbs of files on your ipad. You can't This is nothing more than a...

Wow.. I'll take a piece of that pie Ty

Just be careful about splitting your training among the races... It'll just take longer to do the better t2 shit that way

Well, maybe it's time for a new [h] corp? I'd make it but my Corporate Management skills are dreadful.. Anyone?

Is there an [h] corp? and is it active?

How about trying to fix what the error report says... drivers?

I've had the same old basic voice phone for the past 5 years with Sprint. No web access, no Sim card, no anything. Very basic Im going to upgrade but.. I have no idea how it works with the newer phones. I don't really want to be locked in with any provider (I'm military and constantly...
