[A Cheese Danish]

I will be using it on my laptop and will be ripping Server 08 off due to the fact that I hate using it as a
main OS

Haha.


On a side note, does anyone with Windows 7 have any splinter cell games? If so, are you able to get them to work? I heard about problems with Splinter Cell on Windows 7. Thanks

 

[zithe]

Can I join? I'm using build 7100 as my main OS at the moment.

Im not positive if im within the rules here, but i think i am.

I just posted a thread in general software with links to the enterprise rtm trial version, and a fix for those of us that have had problems running the RTM with certain Cmedia based audio cards.

and right now Im running the enterprise rtm and everything is fine. the secret is a vista 64 patch for world of warcraft.

heres the link to the thread.

if youve tried the RTM and had problems with IE8 after installing your audio driver, this MIGHT work for you, especially if your brand of audio card has a vista fix for world of warcraft.

Those of you that try this, PLEASE PM me or post on the thread whether or not this works, all my computers run asus xonar, or auzentech cards in pcie- so far this is the first i've been able to run the rtm on any of em.

I am also in contact with asus on this and i am sure theyd like to know the results.

heres a link to the 90 day trial of the enterprise RTM if you want a clean iso to start with.

good luck

Thanks for posting. I am trying to run a Diamond XS71 card that is based on CM8768 chip. The drivers from Diamond and C-Media works partly with W7 64bit Ultimate - meaning analog speaker connections work but no audio thru SPDIF out (i tested SPDIF in too).

After 4 hours of fighting with it I gave up and bought a cheap Via Tremor based card and it works (tho the sound is not even 50% close to CMedia's high quality).

Can you verify if SPDIF works with those CM based sound cards in 64bit W7?

 

[madmanjohn]

Truthfully I cannot speak for that as I have nothing handy to try the spdif on, but everything else is working wonderfully, however, if this is any indication, the IR lamp in the spdif socket is glowing and fluctuating like it normally does so on a visual glance, I would say its probably working but I cannot be positive.

if you have the chance, try the asus drivers- it may do the fix- i used the beta for win 7 followed by the patch for vista 64 and the games.

it may not work with the diamond, card, but then again it might, because i have interchanged the asus and the ausentech drivers before once by accident in vista 64 and they both worked, so since its the same cmedia oxygen ic, it will probably work for you but no promises. except for the difference in the GUI.

the other thing i do not know is if the dolby functions and surrond stuff work, but we run 6 separate audio lines out in a 7.1 configuration, but they are all fed from separate sources.

heres how our configuration runs:

front right and left is player 1

rear right and left is player 2

center is left headphone out and sub out is right headphone out

this is configured for 6 speakers and 192khz sampling with all other configurations normal.

volume and eq and pitch control are functioning normally. we do not use the room enhancements but they are working fine too.

No promises, and if you do get the spdif to run PLEASE let me know- I have a support ticket running with asus and i will notify them.

THANK you for your response.

Urgh, I've been using 7 for almost a month now, everything feels smooth as butter, I don't have the urge to upgrade anymore. D:

theres nothing wrong with not wanting to spend more $$$ that will only get you 5%-10% more performance at the most.

a smooth running system is a good system which is the pinnacle of functionality

 

[A Cheese Danish]

Alright, got 7 installed on my laptop and desktop
Add me to the list plx!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I might try installing Win 7 on my laptop but I need to get a 32bit copy first lol

 

[Boyfriend]

Me too

Hello
I am also using Windows 7 64-Bit for more than one month as my main OS on my main Computer. I have observed no slowdown, no BSOD, no compatibility problem regarding any software or hardware I have. My computer is running like charm and so smooth that I myself find it more satisfactory and productive than Windows XP. I am happy user of Windows 7 and recommend it to everyone who want to be productive, stable, and want performance. Currently I have installed Windows 7 64-bit on friend's 2 Desktops + 2 Laptops, Windows 7 32-bit on G.F. Laptop and each computer is running smooth and stable.
Add me too on the list..

[A Cheese Danish]

The only thing that is pissing me off in 7, is the fact I can't get my wireless card to work

 

[Boyfriend]

Time to get rid of it

 

[drumdbeat]

I have Ultimate RTM running on my box and have a few 7100 builds installed on my friend's computers...

Pushing to get it into the workplace.....

Add me to the list please!

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Done! Don't forget to get the lastest DX update

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I finally managed to get the x86 Win 7 RTM... now i need to decide it its worth upgrading on my laptop with a busted screen... the XP thats on it is long over due a complete wipe anyway, its been on there at least 2 years or more lol. no doubt its bogged down with a ton of lingering processes from programs i installed & uninstalled a long time ago..

CPU - Intel Core Duo T2300 (Yonah) @ 1.66Ghz

GPU - X1600MR 256mb (now completely useless unless you plug it into a monitor since the backlight on the screen has gone)

RAM - 2x1GB DDR2 677Mhz Corsair

HDD - Fujitsu 80Gb (5400RPM ??????) Sata II


hmmm should i do it?

 

[Boyfriend]

Yes. You should do it as soon as possible. You will really enjoy Windows 7 (x86 in your case). Windows XP is now outdated and one should upgrade if one's hardware is compatible. Run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and then upgrade (probably it will say OK! Go!). Don't forget to download your LAN drivers first as without Internet you can't do anything (like VGA driver update, Windows update etc.)

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I'l get around to it, just gotta back a few things up then test some drivers - Since its difficult finding drivers for my laptop that work on Win 7

Do you have Vista drivers for it? If you do, I can show you how to force the driver install and make that card work.

I already got it. Had to "Update" it then install various updates.
The driver was in the update. So all's well now.
