If i installed the trial of Windows 7 on my computer will it mess up my programs like maya etc?

Sorry i'm an OS NEWB !!

If you're unfamiliar with OS testing, don't mess up an install you need (i.e. homework/work), and make sure you have reliable, fresh backups if you do.

Or a spare hdd

It's not a trial, its a release candidate- basically better than beta, but not yet release.

End of the year for me = PII X4, DDR3, RAID0 SSD, DX11 Radeon, Win7 & daily MW2 beatdowns! :rockout:

End of the year for me = possibly i7, DDR3, Win7 and the usual daily beatings to porn !

Thanks alexp999. :toast:

I just tried to pm you about my thread, but your inbox is full.

I hadn't realised that there was a News subheading.

Works fine for me, make you sure press the keys button on an actual SKU of say Vista not just the universal disc.

I.e if I click Keys next to the Vista link it gives an error, but works next to the Ultimate Link.

yeah i'm trying various ones.

So far i've got 7 beta keys (already had em) and server 2k8, but vista keys just wont work.

edit: all of a sudden, keys appeared. i think they delay in appearing, cause the servers busy.

I just got 5 retail vista ultimate keys. holy crap.

I think i may have found the reason for the no keys-

Try clicking on the product keys tab at the top,and see if it says the same as this.

Mussels · Jun 3, 2009

tigger: see my post above. the servers just overloaded - i did get all the keys i tried to appaer, i just had to wait.

Deleted member 24505 · Jun 3, 2009

Aah,i may be lucky yet then.

Mussels · Jun 3, 2009

that product keys page did eventually load for me after a few tries - it lists all your keys, and products you havent got keys for yet. i just clicked get keys on every one, and copy pasted

i feel... rich.

I got the key list now,but i'm still getting an error on the RTL keys for vista.I was hoping to get at least one for a second machine.
