-Did the chipset driver program tell you to reboot your PC?
-Did the chipset driver update take more then a minute?
........[/B]

I have already tried all that procedure when 7 RC was released. I downloaded chipset driver (don't remember version) from Intel and did install for every intel device/part. Many got installed (ICH9, Processor to I/O Controller, PCI bridge, USB etc.) but results were really disappointed. Flash drive transfer rate was much slower than before, HDD controller driver showed error in event log, and I even got a BSOD due to HDD controller driver problem

. I reinstalled 7 RC and used its default drivers for better performance and stability.
Then I repeat the procedure when I got my hands on 7 RTM with Chipset INF 9.1.1.1015 PV. Same problems like before except no BSOD this time for my system, but it crashed my supervisor system (Asus mobo, 945 chipset) twice

(HDD controller driver delay error in event log). I have to reinstall everything. At that movement I decided to switch to 64-Bit for me and my supervisor computer at university. Now, with default chipset drivers, we never have any problem with USB transfer speed or HDD controller driver. I haven't tried Chipset INF 9.1.1.1020 PV, but I am happy with default drivers for chipset. I have installed drivers for NVIDIA graphic card (191.07), and Realtek Audio driver (R 2.35) and have no problem with those devices.
At university, we are alone at campus with Windows 7 x64

. Many fellows even don't know about Windows 7 here

That's why I no longer download chipset drivers from Intel. I go directly to the motherboard manufacturer's website for chipset drivers (or OEM if you are using an OEM computer). Yes, that means that your drivers may not be as up to date as the Intel variants but they will work.

What's the difference between chipset driver provided by OEM and by Intel?
For Intel mobo, we have to use Intel own chipset drivers. I have Asus mobo and they are also offering the same Intel chipset drivers for that. No difference at all. Even on Intel own mobo (Intel 945 GCNL), problem of HDD controller driver appears in Windows 7, if you install driver of ICH7 manually.

Back in the day during the i875 and i975 dominance we would always get our chipset drivers directly from Intel. The only issue was that for whatever reason the ICH Family SMBus Controller always had a IRQ conflict that we could never solve. Be that as it may the boards still worked great and never experienced any problems. Then came the X38 chipset and Intel no longer provided drivers for it. I recall reading (I don't recall where) that Intel was never in the business of supplying universal chipset drivers and you should go to your own manufacture/OEM for chipset driver updates.

Since then we have stop going to Intel for chipset drivers. Using them has always been a gamble as they were designed specifically for their own motherboards. However back then they worked well with other motherboards.

The chipset drivers included with Windows 7 are also good. It identifies my chipset components automatically and install specific drivers. I have no problem with default drivers. There is no unknown device in device manager.

However, as time goes on and OEM/Motherboard manufactures find efficiencies and other tweaks one would want those advantages. Win7 providing a workable PC when installing the OS (w/o having to install your own chipset drivers) should have been common years ago.

Damn after doing another fresh windows 7 install on rig#2 (for hacked SLi

) I remember some of the things that made me love this OS in the first place, like multiple screens working in native res on first boot, and I know its 50/50 but it even got it right for which was on which side!

and when you choose your time zone, the list doesn't lag like XP

Right click on the .exe of those games, tab over to Compatibility and select:
-Disable visual themes
-Disable desktop composition

Then install the Directx version found on the discs of those games. This is IMO important because directx has changed significantly. Then see if the game works...

Whenever you select "Run this program in compatibility mode for:
I believe it disables a core on the CPU.

Anyone using Home Premium and getting stalls and crashes on Steam?

Only happened since i got the retail version... It sticks at Connecting Steam Account for ages... and sometimes stops responding. Games are fine though.

Steam will get random occasion where it acts weird and can't ever be solved. Its happened to me twice. Once with Vista and Once with Win 7. Each time the only way to fix those anomalies was to just uninstall steam an reinstall it.

Also to note, they released an update to fix compatibility with Win 7 under certain conditions.

johnspack · Nov 2, 2009, 10:01 PM

I get a weird problem with all my asus boards, both intel and athlon, where it gets to a point that I have to hit the reset button to reboot every time! I am beginning to suspect my x-fi card's drivers. I installed a dual boot of xp64, and used an older set of danielk's drivers, and not a prob. Bummer, guess I'll have to go m-audio or something...

Ended up getting the creative drivers from windows update and they seam to work fine

johnspack · Nov 3, 2009, 03:05 AM

Well, Asrock is another brand of asus isn't it? All my asus boards do it. Intel and athlon. Weird. I am going to try a reinstall of win7 using I guess the onboard and see if it goes away. Under xp64 there is no problem at all, but I didn't risk the newer drivers, used daniel k's older stuff that has dolby ect heheh....

Boyfriend · Nov 3, 2009, 10:13 AM

Well, onboard Realtek audio on my Asus (Intel) is working without any problem.

And is working fine.

PP Mguire · Nov 3, 2009, 09:01 PM

Guess sign me up. Ive been using 7 since it was flushed around the interwebs what seems like ages ago. Got me a copy of Ultimate x64 and im loving it like i did the first day i got it. Just "feels" better than Vista by far.

I have had some problems with all rigs but seems that it was end user after all. No problems with Windows itself (besides some compat issues, but thats to be expected)

Frick · Nov 4, 2009, 12:31 AM

When I open .docs I wrote on old systems, the program says "the file is locked for <unknown user>", and I can only open a copy of that file, edit it, save it somewhere else and then replace the original file.

I'm not sure this is win7 related, but I use the exact same version of OpenOffice as when I was on XP, and i've never seen this before.

EDIT: It seems the same thing goes with EVERYTHING. If I try to edit a .txt file, I can't save it: "Access is denied". The same goes for Paint.

Ive been using 7 since it was flushed around the interwebs what seems like ages ago. Got me a copy of Ultimate x64 and im loving it like i did the first day i got it. Just "feels" better than Vista by far. I have had some problems with all rigs but seems that it was end user after all. No problems with Windows itself (besides some compat issues, but thats to be expected)

I'm not sure this is win7 related, but I use the exact same version of OpenOffice as when I was on XP, and i've never seen this before. EDIT: It seems the same thing goes with EVERYTHING. If I try to edit a .txt file, I can't save it: "Access is denied". The same goes for Paint.
