I thought so. I reformatted months ago when the final beta came out. It is a shame that if you buy it you have to pay full price and they want you to beta test it. Then so now that you are more...

Of course not. I just thought Microsoft would have come up with a way that if you $BUY IT$ you should be able to turn the Beta into a full version. I guess their programmers are not so up to speed. :)

Is there any way to convert Windows 7 Beta when it comes out to the full copy If you have everything running perfect. After you buy a number will it convert it or do you have a to take a good running...

When I start a You Tube or any Video clip I get Video and NO AUDIO.
The Volume is up to the top and no sound. But. ITunes works perfectly, so there is sound.

I lost my icon in the system tray and have the box checked. It does nothing. Is there a section in the registry to fix this?

I did not say.Oooooooops....I do not see anything related to it but will turn off all HP related stuff and see what happens. But, I saw nothing that said QUICK PLAY. Thanks I will let you know.

How do I turn off the Video Program that comes with my new laptop. It is QUICK PLAY. It goes on immediately when I insert a disc. I want to do myself.

I did install Windows 7 on my laptop HP9720US.
I took it off only because you have to reinstall windows to get rid of the Beta version and start clean. A virtual drive I am told is the way to go....

I fixed it myself by using the next BETA release and it was back to normal.
thanks to anyone who answered me.

After installing Windows 7 on my HP dv9720us Laptop the WiFi on/off that is blue when on now the switch stays amber like when it is off.
Anyone find the same thing?

I was looking and found that I should try the Task Manager then go to FILE> NEW TASK> then run Explorer. That is a thing for tomorrow.

Good night for now, thanks ever so much for any help.

I did go to safe mode it is still the same. The screen is black in SAFE MODE and just the backround screen appears in normal Windows XP boot up.
Can't unplug the HDD it is a SCSI we only have Pcs...

I have a client who came to me with:
"I lost my icons and start menu all I see is the backround image on my desktop".
Anyone have this problem?

Thanks
Jim

Thanks, I have a friend who tried Hard Drive Mechanic and it did not work probably, for the same reason a dead drive and/or a virus hit the firmware.

I hope you get your problem solved.
I have a question what is the professional data recovery software do you have and do you share?

OK I guess he knows. :)

I asked you IF YOU FDISKED THE DRIVE That is an old DOS program to delete the partition and then redo the drive as it was when it was created. Some manufacturers make drives for other companies and...

On other thing try checking your MOBO updates of the BIOS. The firmware on the MOBO (MOtherBOard) may need updating.
Just I always check everything.

Did you FDisk it ? That should allow you to delete the current partition and hopefully fix it as a new drive.
Good Luck.
Jim

Hi,
