Steam works, you just have to disable the darn built in blocker or whatnot. I have been playing on Steam just fine! IT WILL WORK TRUST ME!

Maybe I should give that a go if/when I reinstall Server 08 on a different computer.

Part of the time it runs fine, but other times it locks up! Of course I am running the 7100 build, so that may be the issue. Once the final version is released, yay less than a month away, I will know for sure. This is about the only issue that I have ever had with W7 so far!

Weird. I've never had lockups in 7100. And I was using my laptop.

Sorting mine out now

only problem so far is that I cant get windows live messenger to install

any help on this greatly appreciated.

antivirus. I use VIPRE.
It is not free though

I'v managed to get windows live installed and working via a little registry edit. This may work for other programs too that have difficulty installing.

Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SYSTEM - CurrentControlSet - Control - ProductOptions
And edit the key: ProductType
From: "ServerNT"
To: "WinNT"
