Just a heads-up for all the people here who have not yet begun to install Windows 7, or, have begun to install Winodws 7 - Completing the Installation takes A LONG TIME

HUH.....
I have installed it twice so far...on different rigs...and both took less than 20 minutes start to finish...
me thinks there is something wrong on your end
 
Well, so far, my overall verdict of Windows 7 is that it is a good OS, but obviously, still needs some bugs to be patched and the problem with me getting Blue Screened to the point of where I NOW need to restore it again...

....Dont install antivirus. . . :mad::mad::mad:
 
got it installed on my laptop. got a key and boom. i get a s.m.a.r.t. warning figures lol
 
sorry I wasnt too specific.. the MB is 775 and a Celeron 775 with old DDR dual chan and a 9800XT 256 card..

i mean just wanted to hear some of your thoughts..
Thanks

I'm running Win7 64 bit on my laptop and I'm using 64 bit version of Eset Smart Security.
I have a 32 bit version of Win7 running in VMware with 32 bit version of ESS and they both installed and ran without a hitch.
What product are you using and is it for 32 bit or 64 bit?
 
Do you think they will get it back up this weekend or will we have to wait until Monday ?

Most browsers these days will let you right-click on a tab and set it to auto-refresh/reload based on a specified period of time. That's what most of these key leechers are doing now... automating it, harvesting keys...

It's a bit fucking ridiculous, folks, it truly is.

but if your signed in, your only gonna get one key.......you can refresh as much as you want......your only gonna get the same key again....
 
so would i. i mean i do have two things on my girlfriend's chest to attend to ;)
 
It will stop. I just got an error one of of my four tabs and it stopped refreshing it when it detected it.

Agh - what the fuck - keep getting BSOD!

Worst thing that has happened for me with it so far is just that my Xbox 360 won't work as a Media Center extender. It configures everything, but then when the 360 tries to actually play something a crash window comes up on the computer, then the 360 starts playing a pixelated version of the video and saying "Network issue".

would Window 7 work with P4 Celeron? and DDR1 stuff and AGP?..

Yes, it'll work fine as long as you have a gig of RAM, anything less and it'll just be too slow paging. It won't work with Aero on such older video hardware but you can run Windows 7 on that machine. It'll be slow, obviously, but IT WILL WORK with decreased performance.

I'm simply stunned at the effort people are putting into getting a key... you'd think they were lottery numbers or something. :)

It's truly baffling...

I'm simply stunned at the effort you are putting in to rag on people for wanting to get a key.....you'd think it's affecting you directly or something.

It's truly baffling
 
how does this check4change thingy work? I'm right clicking on the tab and clicking 'check every x amount of seconds', but it keeps giving a popup telling me "Please select the text you want to Check4Change" :confused:

Based on that it'll be fine as long as you have enough RAM, at least a gig, more is better, of course. The 9800XT is a DX9 card so Aero will work fine, if somewhat laggy at times, the Celeron is ok for general usage but not for serious stuff. So again, IT WILL WORK, probably just fine as long as you're good on the RAM.
 
Alright...here we go --> Office 07 on Windows 7...Lets see if it explodes or give me the BSOD...:mad:

does check4change stop when it detects a change?

That's why stuff has manuals and README.txt files included, or something... everything you need to know and learn comes with the extension, really.

Couldn't have said it better myself ;)
 
So I just installed 7 x64 on my HP Touchsmart tx2z Tablet PC and its was just about flawless. I am missing the N-Trig multi-touch drivers and screen rotate right now, those drivers weren't in the box. Also installed my Vista Bluetooth drivers for the Broadcom BT radio because the default drivers were skipping audio like crazy with my S9-HD headphones. The Vista drivers are working fine right now.

So out of the box 7 is looking solid on this tablet. I wanted to try it out on a tablet because a lot of changes were done to the pen and touch interface and the changes are nice.

Microsoft I think really has worked hard on this release to give it the polish that Vista never had with a lot of folks. I'm inking this post right now in Windows 7 and I'm very impressed.

Great way to spam the shit outta Microsoft and waste bandwidth for no legitimate reason... great job, really.

Dude....seriously.....you're an elitist, narcissistic ass. The way you talk down to people on this forum is sickening.

This quote out of your sig tells all of us everything we need to know about you.

If you have to ask, you'll never understand it.

And the damning evidence of your narcissism is the conjoined insecurity displayed within your posts (all slightly exaggerated):

"I've installed Vista on 32,234 PCs in the past 6 months"
"I've been an IT guru since 1970 blah blah blah"
"I was an IT Zeus before Bill Gates suckled on his momma's ta-tas"

From my own IT career, which I choose not to display on this forum (unlike you), I do not feel the need to recite my resume to back up facts, which you do ad hominem. Instead of lettting facts stand on their own merit, you interject these wild grandiose figures to supposedly add strength to your argument. An expert needs none of this.

If someone needs to back up their opinion/facts with their chronological experience......you just lost all standing in my book. I would not want you on my team. Facts stand on their own. Bullshit talk is not needed.

You're obviously an intelligent guy. It's unfortunate your people skills are lacking.
 
still gives me nothing but the error message. I'm I the only one that its not working for. I was refreshing 5 tabs
 
Make sure you check the "allow navigating away from this page" option, set your refresh for something short like 1s.
