been there- tried that- all it does is shut ie8 down

cant do a reinstall unless its totally removed- thats ok- im back on the rc for now-

everythings great in this os- i could do the rtm but id have to use chrome or mozilla for my 32 bit explrer, which wouldent be that bad

im just used to the ie6 7 or 8 way of doing things-for better or worse.

i never dreamed id have a conflict between my audio card and the 32 bit side of ie8.

and its only in the rtm.

edit- wait a sec- i read that wrong- BRB

I think you should add what build of win7 the people using for those are using it as their main OS. just to make things a little more organised i guess, e.g. some one on win7 6xxx might have issues that someone else on win7 7100 might not have, so it makes a little clearer that there are people that can help.

you dont have to of course but i just think that helps a little bit. also people might ask us what we think of certain builds

If folk want to include which version they are using I can add it but I won't press the issue.

Honestly, we shouldn't use the feature until it's fixed and an update given. Yeah, some try to dismiss the issue as moot but if a small group of individuals are having a problem it warrants getting fixed! So, if you are experiencing problems because of it then a re-install maybe the best option. Then don't use that feature until it's been fixed.

oh well...You know what to do in this case. However if someone else comes up with a better idea then try that.

the os i had trouble with was build 6-1-7600 the rest as follows:

File Name: en_windows_7_ultimate_x64_dvd_x15-65922.iso Date Posted (UTC): 8/6/2009 9:59:56 AM
SHA1: 326327CC2FF9F05379F5058C41BE6BC5E004BAA7 ISO/CRC: 1F1257CA

but the rc works perfectly, so im on it TFN

EDIT: that is the 64 bit version, with my ram i cant run the 32.

the only problem i had with 7600 is there is some weird conflict between my audio driver gui and the 32 bit side of IE8

but while i was running it, it DID seem to act a bit snappier than the rc

maybe my coffee was a bit strong at the time

heres an afterthought on this

if you are running system specs and it is up to date the everyone will know. but theres a certain amount of noobs out there that wont know until someone tells them to look it up.

edit - (and how to do it)

go easy on em as we were all there at one time....

???? Not so - people might have the exact same builds but 1 of them might suffer from installation or minor driver issues. 'uptodate' system specs doesnt just count for 1 build of pc just like everything else - no 1 cpu is exactly the same as the next.

theres so much diversity when it comes to hardware. the same way that people have ATi HYDRAVISION working on their win7 7600 & but i cant get mine working at all. bugs/issues/problems can be random

FreedomEclipse · Aug 14, 2009

thought i should also mention that only a few hours i booted up CoD4 & W@W & had no issues with PB. it seems to be running smooth - these are my favorite servers that I would have been booted from previously

EastCoasthandle · Aug 15, 2009

Ok, I just uninstalled Cat 9.7 and installed Cat 9.8 for the 1st time on Win7. It is a pretty painless process. I didn't use any 3rd party programs to remove CCC. It appears so far that CCC's uninstall program did a pretty good job removing itself from Win7.

The install of Cat 9.8 went smoothly after rebooting. I didn't have to reboot again once the install of Cat 9.8 was complete. Your monitor may flicker once during the uninstall and twice (or so) doing the install of the new cat driver.

ShRoOmAlIsTiC · Aug 15, 2009

Im a little late to the party but thats because Win 7 was a little late to my msdnaa acount. Im running the Win 7 Pro RTM version and loving it so far. Never messed with and beta or rc of it so its all new to me. Everything feels a little snappier coming from vista. Not sure if its just a placebo effect or real but im trully digging it.

thats expected, mine has done that for some time, its just the drivers are resetting the monitor to defaults primarily.

Speaking of Which, Has anyone used DNA drivers for their Cards?

cray86 · Aug 16, 2009

I got Windows 7 Professional from the MSDN-AA finally. Installed it on my laptop. Some basic specs -

Toshiba 15"
Core 2 Mobile (45nm) 2.4ghz
2GB DDR2 @ 800
Intel Wireless-N

And I already broke it!

I've been running the RC on my desktop since it was available and outside from some Fallout 3 issues I've enjoyed it.

The install was a breeze on the laptop. On initial setup before the desktop it asked what Wireless network to connect to (a handy feature I might add for a laptop) and I put in the password for my network. It could not connect. I tried three times with the correct password. I skipped it. The desktop loaded, and through the wireless manager in the taskbar I put in the same password and it connected just fine. I broke it! :pimp:

unfortunately i use it...before i format my problem partition...just to check all possibilities and i'm blessed ...

eidairaman1 · Aug 17, 2009

THis is probably in the wrong section but has anyone tried the DNA Catalyst Drivers? I was doing some research and seems their drivers have support for X1950 series and lower.

I was just wondering if i should go with their driver or go with the Catalyst 9.3.1?

Mussels · Aug 17, 2009

stick with whatever the latest official driver is that supports your card. dont bother with modded ones, as they tend to Feck up.

Any more Win7 users?

I've been running the RTM x64 since it was release to MSDN; I had been running the RC version on my main rig. I modded the RTM so that I could do an upgrade; so far no problems. I have only encountered a couple of issues with Win 7. The RTM will not allow Norton Ghost to run where the RC did not complain. The other is no VPN support from Cisco (Cisco decided not to support x64 for their older products). However, virtual XP saved the day; I can run my VPN client in a vm and connect to the office.

EarlZ · Aug 17, 2009

Using x64 RTM, got 16days to activate left, havent used re-arm yet.

I love win7 so much , but it does have it quirks and so far im very annoyed with the file access bug when you like delete of move files around a ghost copy of the file remains on the location and you have to wait for a few mins to be able to delete it. Secondly the its either Heroes of Newerth of 7's netcode is a bit bad, the game becomes laggy (stutters) when i download something even at 3kb/s same with vista SP2 , with XP its not an issue though.
