 | From memory, DirectX 8 can be installed for those apps which still require it, but Windows 7 itself (as well as contemporary applications) require a minimum of DirectX 9 or higher. Aero for example with require the more recent builds. You may however have to use Compatibility options to get …  |

 | Can understand decisions to cancel the HP Slate project, given both the rushed nature it appears the Slate was developed within, as well as the mixed views of HP's computer offerings as a whole (can you imagine how a Slated bogged down with the usual raft of crapware would have … |
| | Do you have a ethernet cable so you can physically connect and install drivers? It does sound as if Windows may have already installed (generic) drivers for the device, so this may well not be the problem at hand. The fact that the particular network you are trying to access …  |
| | [QUOTE=caperjack;1061150]baffling isn't it ![/QUOTE] Can see a few things which [B]should[/B] remain though (beyond those already highlighted) : Those processes which load up HW drivers (may loose device functionality by disabling those from boot). Would also look at what auto-update processes you need to keep - this will largely depend … |
| | Re: Back up Problem [QUOTE=Nickair;915171]Hi, i am running windows vista on my HP desktop computer, and i am trying to back up all my files onto an external hard drive so i can deal with a hard drive problem. The bigger problem is that i think that my hard drive problem is preventing me … |
| | So long as going x86 Vista to x86 Win7, yes the upgrade is possible - but still not the best way to go. If moving from Vista x86 to Win7 x64, then the answer is no, as Vista x86 is incapable of rolling out the x64 OS build. To be … |
| | Also look to [URL="http://forums.amd.com/game/"]ATI's support forum community[/URL], as you may well not be the only one to have had issues with card on Vista (or on an older system). And agree with Suspishio on this one - if MS had to provide drivers for every piece of hardware on the … |
| | OK - as someone who uses PS CS4 on a daily basis, can answer a couple of questions: PS CS4 x86 x64 are two completely separate entities - no interaction btwn any components. That being said, there is a good reason that at this point the x64 build installs both … |
 | Some in interesting comments, but as seems the "norm" on any MS-based topic, the trolls have yet again come out to play! [QUOTE=Matias]I don't give a shit about Windows 7.[/QUOTE] And you felt the need to tell us all, why?? If you don't care about Windows, why even bother reading … |
| | To be honest, if you are seeking assistance, you might want to start by learning to [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread5170.html"]read[/URL]... I don't think your laptop is [I]THAT[/I] old. You also need to provide more info on your machine (such as model prefix and age of machine), as some recent notebooks contain hardware components … |

I always laugh when the Yanks go on about democracy, when: [LIST] [*]A good chunk of your population never votes... they just b1tch about things when the elected govt doesn't cater to [I]their[/I] whims [*]Most haven't even got …  |
| | Re: Mouse problems Mice tend to work best on Vista and Win7 with native plug-and-play drivers. The problems often begin when using the 3rd party drivers and apps supplied by the 3rd-party vendor. Try uninstalling Logitech's SetPoint and driver package (drivers may need to be uninstalled via device manager. After re-boot, plug the … |
| | For once have to agree with "Bob" on this one... too little info and way too many variables! Are you trying to open, or simply download? Has this always been the case, or only recently? If the latter, what changes have been recently made? What OS are you running? Have … |
| | Given that HP ALWAYS come with a recover disc (no need to make one), would be encouraging the client to first dig through her cupboards to locate that original disc. As posted above, you can - in a bind - use a retail copy (as long as it is the … |
| | Not sure about Opera, but Google Chrome (in the case of some AV's) may require you to temp disable your Anti-Virus to perform a clean install. Once installed can re-enable Avast with no worries. Let us know if things still not working and can dig deeper :) |
 | [QUOTE=ldouble_e;1018145]I built two computers that have realtek audio. I also had issues with sound not working on Vista however I think my issue would also apply to Win 7. If you are running win 7 64 bit you may have downloaded the 32 bit driver.[/QUOTE] If experienced in x64 Windows, … |
| | Would it be better to get an external drive for saving your disk images to, rather than the hassles and risks involved in trying to use your secondary drive? The advantage with that, is that you could then keep any misc files which [B]you don't need backed up in the … |
| | [QUOTE=theemerchant;1042413]Good day everyone, I just have a little problem to share hoping anyone cold me with this. I am currently using Windows Vista Starter edition and has enjoyed using it, except only for the fact that I can't find any ways to remove the logo on the lower right corner. … |
| | Here's an alternate suggestion, as my suspicion is that Vista is just too heavy for eMachine's "low cost" hardware (although without a model number, it makes it damn hard to be sure). DL Win7 RC1 (get in quick as free download almost expired). Install (dual-boot if you both know how … |

| | Re: Tool bar vista [QUOTE=djm123;1059722]How do I get a Tool Bar in Vista, the same as XP., with Tools, cut paste ect?[/QUOTE] Sounds like you are after the MenuBar, correct? In Vista (and Win7), the MenuBar is still there, but hidden by default. Hitting the [B]Alt[/B] key will unhide it when you need it... … |
| | AutoRun became restricted from Vista onwards for certain devices (such as flash-based media), but not for CD's. If no drive icon in My Computer, sounds like a HW issue. Easiest way to find out if the CD drive is functioning and/or (physically) connected... reboot into the BIOS settings. If CD … |
| | Sorry to pop head in Judy, but if there is such a discrepancy btwn Safe and Normal FF mode, it may be quicker to simply create a new profile, and import required data only from old profile. If things are [I]that[/I] hinky, can be much less problematic. @Childsplay - three …  |
| | It does help (for future reference) if you mention your OS version, but anyhow. Definitely sounds like a codec issue - would be helpful if you listed some details as to the format of the movie you are trying to play... as the DivX codec does not account for everything.  |
 | I don't know, I thought the message was loud and clear. If chicks [I]clearly[/I] as thick as that can use Win7, then anyone with a 30+ IQ score should be able to as well :D  |
| | Yup, you're right.... I did let it get to me at one point and snapped at a few ppl as a result. Got rightly pulled up for it too - ironically by someone [I]else[/I] who'd also made the same errors at one point :/ Fair enough, you are new.... not …  |
 | Would highly recommend [URL="http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/"]Comodo's[/URL] free offering. Sys defence a little whiny tho, so usually disable that part after install and just run the AV and Firewall components. Never liked AVG - can't fully disable from the SysTray like almost every other AV on the market, which can cause headaches for …  |

 | [QUOTE=Bob_180_Bob;1042564]Thank you for that, I was just interested in why anyone would look at an anti-virus program for that type of error. Someone did and fixed theirs and now you fixed yours.

Anti- virus programs do not attack other programs unless they are a virus![/QUOTE] Actually "Bob", you might want to do your research on AV's and false positives. The sad fact is that certain AV's (namely Norton and AVG in particular) have a rather … |
