The problem with office was the disk - got a new iso and it works fine. I had to use a crack tho as it wouldn't accept my valid CD key, oh well.

Rolled back to vista, i don;t think it was a problem with the iso. Win7 was from the microsoft site and i got no errors when installing.
Just re-setting up vista and everything is working perfectly now. I'll wait till the final build of Win7 before i upgrade, or maybe even 'till the first service pack is out.

yeah - I have Open Office 3 running on mine with out issue, although to be fair I haven't used it extensively, just ran through soem basic opening/saving etc to see how it responded. First run was quite slow (probably doing set-up stuff), but thereafter ran just like on my Vista machine

If the seagate in this article is your drive then maybe windows 7 has built-in intelligence to downgrade its experience index?:D

Did you know about these drives failing?

yeah, my COD4 worked - some of the cut scenes are a bit stuttery but I think that was down to the hardware, not the OS. (its installed on my old PC)

However, I seem to have lost all sound and video playback. You Tube videos were starting up but slowing then stopping after a few seconds. I tried an .avi file and the same thing happened. I had loaded CCCP on it to watch a 720p episode of BSG, and it was fine then but a few days later (didn't really have it on in that time) I tunred it back on and it was in this state.

Im on 32bit Win7. You know, I haven't tried multiplayer so PB hasn't kicked in for me yet. Im trying a sytem restore to see if I can fix my sound and video issues, if it doesn't I'll be starting from scrath. When i get it all working I'll try multiplayer

there no hope for game that use this type of pb cod5 uses a new verison so it doesnt have this probelm

this is what pb team says

This is due to PunkBuster not supporting Windows 7, and we will not support Windows 7 until it is released to the general public for purchase. I'm sorry, but we do not support beta or release candidate operating systems.
