sorry if this has been posted before, but has anyone noticed the increased power usage when using windows 7 (both X 86 and X64) my system idle has gone gone 124 watts to 149 watts..

im thinking its because of imature drivers for the gtx 280 as the gtx 280 ha three levels of load 2D / low 3d/ and high 3D and it seams that its idling using the low 3D setting (i do have Aero turned off)

i'll test it when you get off your ass and send 7 to me :slap:

any one noticed that this beta is alway sending data out?

Deleted member 24505 · Jan 13, 2009

I turned off windows error reporting,it was running 15+ instances of it at the same time,fubaring my connection.

Any idea what service it is sending info out all the time? i will disable it if possible.

dude why didnt you partition?
so you dont need to format whole 500GB to reinstall

500gb isn't much to me :cool:

Deleted member 24505 · Jan 13, 2009

I agree with wiak,a 500gb partition is big.I always partition my drives,with a 40gb for windows,and the rest for dump,docs etc.

Got the beta today, everything seems to be running for the moment although the graphics card (9600M GT) is showing up as a standard VGA graphics adapter, anyone know of a way to get around/fix?
(Beta is on System Specs 'Penny')

EDIT:: 180.48 fail, installed 179.28 and everything works fine.

for your Gadets problem go here for the fix
i have no problem with this my OSD works fine what drivers are you using?

181.20 whql and I tried 185.20.

kyle2020 · Jan 13, 2009

Alright, heres a few I have experienced:

1. Steam overlay does not work whilst in game.

2. Sometimes when i click shut down it take roughly 2 minutes to do so - the system sits idle then suddenly works.

3. you cant rename pictures on external memory cards, and you cant view / rotate them properly either (a bit hit and miss)

4. I cant activate my windows. Keeps saying something like "slui.exe is missing" or some crap, so ill have to re install at my 30 day mark.

i found the issue to my earlier post (#75 high idle power usage) i just installed the vista X64 180.20 WHQL drivers and all is now fine in windows 7.. it was funny to see the vista drivers install and say "now installing windows 7 X64 bit drivers"

i never thought to try vista drivers. im so behind the 8 ball

ok i found the problem with the windows 7 drivers when the 280 is on idle it not dropping the clock speeds down so it running at full power all the time, when using vista drivers clock speeds do drop when on idle.

About windows media player not having a tool bar.

When you mouse over the running icon the preview box will have controls on it that you can interact with.

This works with movies and with music.
No toolbar necessary

Anyone else having trouble getting their printer(s) to work.

my X850XT,X1800XL, and 9800Pro 9600, give Code 43 no matter what I do, my GTX280, 2600XT and 8800GS work though, reported t already.

ACPI failed to install

Wanted to install ASUS EPU Six_Engine software as well as some other drivers for my motherboard (P5Q) but installs halted with the above mentioned error. Tried to reinstall ACPI drivers but with no luck.

Auto set up will not work in seven.

It seems that BitDeffender can't update at all. Everything else seems to work fine or need just a little setting work.

Zax85 · Jan 14, 2009

I´ve tried the system, and i must say - I LIKE IT

Looks great and promising.

InnocentCriminal · Jan 14, 2009

Well I'm pleased to report that I've managed to install the 64bit build onto my nForce 3 based motherboard.

However, I tried to install the preview drivers this morning and I don't think they worked.

Please, I don't want anymore Code 43 errors.

I'll have a proper play around tonight as I couldn't last night/this morning. I'll probably get bashed by some for trying it out on old hardware, but I think it's an interesting test for 7.

Here is "THE BUMPER LIST OF WINDOWS 7 SECRETS", witch, I think, we'll all love to read. Some pretty nice tips are lurking there.

Try this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx

If that don't work, email me at barbaric@mechwarriorleagues.com, I'll send you a beta copy of it and a activation key(I got the copy and 2 activation codes from microsoft, not a bit torrent)

johnnyfiive · Jan 14, 2009

Not really a bug, but rather a application issue. We all mount image files, sadly in Windows 7 MagicDisc and Daemon Tools do not work. The only app I've found to work is PowerISO. Just a heads up. If someone already posted this information, sorry for the repost.
