I meant that I was looking for a burning software to use with W7.
I got nero9 installed now and it should be fine.

I havent tested it out, but i read about another place testing it out and said it worked fine. Hope this is what you wer looking for. Maybe you were talking about more than just ISO.. hah :/

LOL I never mentioned burning an ISO. I was looking for a burning application for everyday use that would copy disks without needing to copy the data to the PC and then burn a copy etc...

It's good to know what W7 can burn an ISO without 3rd party software though. :toast:

I got W7 installed on my system at work and I'm just trying to get everything as functional as possible.

Yeah i realized that afterwards, buttttt hah thought it was still cool.

I just installed windows 7 last night/Dismorning

it was easy to install and omg fast, didnt even ask me to format the HDD first, and its a brand new HDD. I havent played with it much, but so far so good, working fine, and only using just over 500MB of ram, thats not bad.

Cant wait to get home to play with it some more and see how many of my programs, and games most of all will run on it without issues.

frankie827 · Jan 15, 2009

has anyone tried any intense gaming(ie. crysis, farcry 2, gtaIV, fallout3, etc..) in windows 7?
all ive tried is left 4 dead and counter strike source, i got the same fps as i did in vista

Mussels · Jan 15, 2009

has anyone got deamon tools working? i end up in an endless reboot cycle with DT asking for just one more reboot...

pantherx12 · Jan 15, 2009

I have the same problem Mussels, Seven did warn that it had compatibility issues.

I'm sure a fix will come for it soon.

Yup same problem here too. I ended up using MagicISO s/Magicdisc. This worked fine, if you want you can dl here:

BarbaricSoul · Jan 15, 2009

Just got it installed, running the 64 bit version. Loving it so far.

No problems for me yet. Hell, even my 9 year old heavily patched mechwarrior4 mercenaries seems to like it.

Protius · Jan 15, 2009

Just got 64bit working as well, great so far, much better than vista

freaksavior · Jan 15, 2009

i got it installed but it f'd my macbook up. I cannot boot into osx. i like it, but its so different. i just wonder how consumers will like it.

tomorrow at work, im going to run a little expirment and find out.

johnspack · Jan 15, 2009

Not sure if I should post this in bugs report or what, but I prefer beyond tv, and when I bring up the guide on my remote that comes with my theatre pro 650, it first brings up the beyond tv guide listings, then promptly brings up media center with it's own tv listings, both the same, but not wanted! Any way to disable media center, as it is not able to display widescreen tv on my display, and beyondtv can!

Kursah · Jan 15, 2009

I love it so far, a week into 7 and a few days into x64 7 and I really do like it for the most part. The thing that really gets me is Punkbuster...I may have to make a partition for Vista or something...dunno what I'll do yet. If I didn't game online as much in PB games it would be a nonexistant issue obviously...but it's a serious hinderance. That and for some reason FFoW plays great, then all of a sudden my frames drop to the 20's (from history tracking), from then on it'll play smooth for a few seconds and get sticky again...could be drivers, I've tried compatability modes etc. Setting it to a 4:3 resolution seemed to help, but 1280x1024 is very pale in comparison to 1680x1050...

mysticjon · Jan 15, 2009

Cant get my damn 5.1 surround speakers to work, utter gayness and im very fustrated, I have X-fi Fatal1ty FPS, i've tried every imaginable way to get my speakers to work, no luck, and i havnt seen any forum on the internet to explain how to get it working. But other than my bad luck with my sound card, its decent

Kursah · Jan 15, 2009

I had no issues to get 5.1 working on x86 or x64 w/my X-Fi Xtreme Music...I installed the newest drivers from Creative, I don't recall if I had to do compatability mode or not for install, and installed control panel...I can switch between 2.1 and 5.1 while playing sounds/music/movies/games w/o a hitch or error or loss of sound (Vista would lose sound if it was being played while swtiching between modes, at least in x64, I'd just have to push stop and play to get the sound from the source going again..).

hey did you get my PM?

Replied!

I'm pretty sure I gave you the solution as I now remember having that issue for a very short time...so hopefully that's the fix..and you can post stating it works. If not, then I dunno...SOL till better drivers/compatability is there unfortunately...but let's hope that simple solution works! I hope you haven't already tried it!

:toast:

DaveK · Jan 15, 2009

So far so good for me on 32bit with my POS PC, loads up nice and fast. I was surprised to see an update for my integrated Intel GFX chipset when I first booted, now I can use 1440x900 instead of 1280x1024 and there was no need for me to install any audio drivers

BTW, where's that Aero theme? I don't see it

pantherx12 · Jan 15, 2009

you need to run windows experience rating, right click my computer then click propertys you should be able to see where to go from here

ste2425 · Jan 15, 2009

its great loaded the 32 bit one on my lappy and works a dream the install was supper quick and it loads up supper quick too best of all i think it has better power management for lappys coz i had xp at first and when i turnd it on my fubard battery would die within f mins of pressing the on button but now it lasts like an extra half our

so with a decent new battery it must last ages

Skywalker12345 · Jan 15, 2009

i love the new 64X bit ultimate its kinda buggy at times but what do you expect its a BETA!

BarbaricSoul · Jan 15, 2009

only issue I've ran into so far is with a old game that doesn't support 1920*1200 res. With XP and vista, my system would automatically scale the games picture to fill my screen, now it doesn't(I have about 2 inches on either side of of my monitor thats black when I play that game). Sure this is display driver related.

Mussels · Jan 15, 2009

to anyone trying to play MKV files with subtitles, theres a few bugs in 7.

Short version, haali media splitter doesnt work. Tell your favourite player to use directvobsub instead (MPC and zoom player worked here when tested) and your MKV's will have subtitles again.

Wireless Adapter

frankie827 said:
personally i wouldnt upgrade from any o/s to the beta of windows 7

i would make a new partition and do a clean install of 7, it will be much better. and then you dont have to worry about losing all your stuff if it crashes.

as for drivers: all vista drivers work in 7, iff you can run vista, you can definately run windows 7.

looking at your specs for your xp machine, ive read that 7 will run just fine with aero and everything on, with a p4 2.4ghz and 1gb of ram (and vista runs fine too, ive tried)
so you should be fine, if you make a new partition

I took your advise and partitioned it. The only issue I have ran into is that when I boot up on either OS now I have to unplug and replug in my D-links wireless adapter for it to find it.
Both OS have seperate drivers and software, but it still does it. Any suggetions from any one ? 7 seems to run really well though. The games play about as smooth as on XP. They are headed in the right direction.
