Turning off the feature means Windows deletes the links to WinSXS. To turn on the feature means it recreates the links. It does absolutely nothing against the actual files. It sucks, don't it?

If that's the case, can somebody zip up the wmp12 program folders from Win7x64 for me and upload them somewhere?

It's kinda my fault. I should've known better than to not back up the original files. Got too excited in my hurry, and didn't think about it. lol.

FordGT90Concept · Jan 21, 2010, 03:30 PM

I highly doubt it will work but I'll PM you a link.

I didn't back up files either.

No problems for me.

My Maxtor STM3500418AS (500GB) has ruined my data and two days. It just got bad sectors by unknown way (I use backup Opti UPS). I have to buy a new WDC WD3200AAJS-00L7A0 (320GB) and reinstall everything. The interesting thing is that Maxtor got bad sectors in first 10GB sectors (Drive C: Windows 7). Smart status showed numerous relocated sectors and less than 1% health. I am returning it for warranty. According to my observations, WDC is slightly slow (about 5-10%) as compared to Maxtor (Seagate). What do you think is more speedy and reliable?

Do we need to disable 16-bit application support by using gpedit.msc on x64 Windows 7? I also have disable application telemetry.

eidairaman1 · Jan 31, 2010, 07:19 AM

Seagate, Hitachi, or Samsung.

yep perhaps he was referring to WinFlash because I cant get it to work in Win 7 Pro x64

Athlonite · Feb 2, 2010, 01:22 AM

yup sorry my bad WinFlash it is it seems funny how it wont work in win 7 x64 yet the same or similar file inside an Asus video bios update runs just fine

Inioch · Feb 21, 2010, 07:01 PM

Now I'm almost sure this can't be done, but...

Does anyone know if you can access the files inside a system image made by win 7 backup?

I made a system image of my c: on to another computer, now I had to format this c: and install 7 again. I'd like to get some personal files from inside the backup image.

you can do it with acronis true image home 2010 it will convert the image into its image then you can grab the files you want

Inioch · Feb 22, 2010, 09:27 AM

Thanks for the tip skellattarr. I'm currently investigating the ability to mount the .vhd image straight from disk management as a vitual drive. This should show it as a standard drive to the os.

I'll report my success or failure later.

xBruce88x · Feb 22, 2010, 09:38 AM

well i just loaded win7 on my main rig... so far all seems well. a few little things here and there, but i'm getting used to it.

my biggest problem is with my win7 wanting to force my 9600gt to use 85htz at 1280*1024. all i get is a black screen any time i disable my hd3200 because any time a display is changed, win7 sets to that resolution. the funny thing... IT WORKS ON THE 3200! my monitor displays that setting just fine on the ati chip, and did so with winXP, so i'm thinking its an nVidia driver issue

Inioch · Feb 22, 2010, 08:40 PM

Yeah, it works

Mounting a .vhd as a virtual drive is very easy in 7. Here are some easy directions.

I've just noticed today that you now need validation in order to download KB's directly from MS. It was only the other day I was able to download one particular KB without having to validate, now you do.

LifeOnMars · Feb 27, 2010, 08:14 PM

Anyone havev any performance issues with Borderlands on windows 7?

EastCoasthandle · Feb 27, 2010, 09:13 PM

No not really, what seems to be the trouble?

LifeOnMars · Feb 28, 2010, 01:43 AM

Frame rate drops with a gtx 275 and q6600@3.6 playing the game at the meagre res of 1280x1024

I've put some info in the Borderlands thread but thought I would check in here and see if anyone had experienced the same. Awesome game but the drops are kinda ruining it for me.

It was only the other day I was able to download one particular KB without having to validate, now you do. __________________ Windows 7 Club!, Online Gaming Lag and You GPU/CPU Water Cooling Club, Q9650 OC'd vs 2600K Stock PC Air Cooling Club, Game Performance Tips

Awesome game but the drops are kinda ruining it for me.
