Windows 7 thread!

Honestly I think it might. It doesn't utilize as much memory as vista so i think there is a good chance

Kursah · Jan 10, 2009

I doesn't seem to use that much less ram on my 4Gb setup, but I don't mind, I'd rather it use the memory it allocates intelligently than not at all imo. I got used to that in vista, but on that laptop I'm sure 7 will run, I've heard that Vista and Xp drivers work in 7. I have not verified that tho, a buddy at work claims he used all XP drivers...dunno how true it is tho. Sometimes you'll have to run the driver installer in the compatability mode of the OS it was meant for. I had to run my chipset drivers in Vista compatability mode and they installed fine.

anybody tried cod4 mp or any other punkbuster game yet? I tried windows 7 build 7000 32bit a while ago and got kicked out of every server, then I switched back to vista and everything's fine.

DaMulta · Jan 11, 2009

did you update punkbuster?

yeah

Triprift · Jan 11, 2009

Punkbuster isnt supported by the beta builds of Windows 7 and may give you this error "unknown api function 131134".

I dont think this will changed until the full version of 7 is out.

rangerone766 · Jan 11, 2009

how long does "preparing your computer for first use" take? its been over an hour, starting to thinks it's hung.

specs on pc
dell d600 laptop
1.8 pentium m
2gigs ram
radeon 9000 with 32megs ram
160gig hard drive

A Cheese Danish · Jan 11, 2009

Depends, Check my system specs for my laptop specs, and it took about 25-30 minutes before it moved from that screen. How long has it been for you?

redwings0921 · Jan 11, 2009

took 15 mins for my quad core system to gather system info. i was flipping shits b.c i had to be asleep in 10 mins and i really wanted to see it finsished. then of course i realize the down load would take another 15 mins and my parents would flip if i was still up so i let it go. wake up in the morning and find a "yada yada yada press ok to continue" and it had no effect on the set up. so it loaded while i was in the shower and got to see it before i went to school... then brag the shit about it and make everyone jealous

johnspack · Jan 11, 2009

Yeah, I finally get a 7.9, but only for my video card, my 1100mhz ram still only gets 5.9?

rangerone766 · Jan 11, 2009

i resterted the install from a fresh reformat, then it only took a few minutes. win 7 is up and running now. i like it so far.

selway89 · Jan 11, 2009

I did the upgrade from Vista x64 Ultimate to Win7 x64 and it went fine and using as main OS, everything backed up should it go tits up!

Only thing I've had issues with is my ati drivers, cant install or uninstall the CCC. Always hangs on "Enumerating source media for installable packages" in CCC setup.

Managed to get it to just install the Win7 ATI driver of which it now calls my graphics card an "Engineering Sample"?!
GPU-Z Logs etc show that the card sticks to 2D clocks yet the fan goes bonkers, even had VPU recover and odd graphics under TF2 and CSS.

Anyone else having issues with ATI Drivers?

Other than that its smooth as butter, and enjoying using it!

yeah thats the error code i get. damn looks like i won't be using windows 7 beta till either punkbuster releases a fix or until 7 is officially released

p_o_s_pc · Jan 11, 2009

will windows Vista 64bit drivers work for windows 7 64bit?

johnspack · Jan 11, 2009

Yes, of course Pos, how do you think I can get that score? 181.20 whql 64bit vista driver.

rangerone766 · Jan 11, 2009

only problems i had so far was windows media player hanging. i'd start a video and the pc would lock up and do nothing till hard reset. did manage to get VLC installed and all my vids work fine.

utorrent works to hehe.

i'm really liking it so far, it runs as good or better than xp did on my laptop. i really like the memory management with win7, its nice to see my ram actually get used. i have 2gigs and with xp i never used more than 500megs or so. with win7 just sitting at desktop i'm using 500meg, people may complain about that. but if you have the ram you may as well use it.
