Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software ·
dustybear9 said:whatever, I'm just messing with you 😲

but seriously, what am I supposed to do with this 5.1 setup to get it up to a 7.99? 😂🙏

Should I try flattering him or something?

you could always just slap some more RAM in there, that'll bump the value up, 👍
mine sits at a 3.7 with 1GB of RAM, but over at Best Buy they've got one with 2GB listed for 4.5—back when it only had 1GB, they were asking like 2.9

What am I even getting out of the upgrade?

Man, I haven't even messed with Vista myself, but I've heard enough guys talking trash about it to know it's a total disaster.
Windows 7, though? That thing is solid. Honestly, I'm pretty stoked with how it runs.

I mean, I know for a fact
Windows 7 isn't such a resource hog compared to Vista. It uses way less RAM.

Zachary Barrett4 said:Man, I've been running this exact same game on my 64-bit Windows 7 setup for a week straight now without a single hiccup.

I didn't really check out what kind of GPU his buddy is rocking, so maybe that's why it tanked... plus, it's a pirated copy, so who knows? Maybe I messed up the crack or something.

So, can you actually play games on
Windows 7 64-bit?
I tried it myself and couldn't get Call of Duty 4 to run for the life of me, even though it works perfectly fine on the 32-bit version. What gives?

Joshua Garcia3 said:Look, just open up that file you grabbed—if it's tucked inside a zip or rar, make sure you unpack it onto your hard drive first. Find the actual driver you're trying to install (.exe file), right-click it, go to Properties, then Compatibility. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and pick either Windows Vista or Windows XP from the dropdown menu. Hit Apply, hit OK, and you're done. Simple enough, right? 🙂

thanks
guess I know what to do next time 👍

Joshua Garcia3 said:Socket AM2/AM2+/AM3

Just grab the drivers meant for Windows Vista 32-bit and try running them through compatibility mode. 🙂

So, I managed to dig up this stuff for the socket on Google, but this part here...

''run it through compatibility mode''

I have zero clue what that even means.

thanks

yeah
thanks

hey there

I'm hunting down some audio drivers for Windows 7 32-bit
specifically for this motherboard
ASUS m2n-mx
running an AMD Athlon LE-1600 2.21
I know where to grab them, it's just that I can't remember what the actual socket type is so I can actually find the right stuff on the ASUS website

thanks

Benjamin King2 said:Hey, move this over to the security subforum. This thread is specifically for Windows 7 stuff, not a place to dump virus problems.

Fine, whatever. I just figured since I'm running Windows 7, I could ask my questions here...
Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software ·
Hey everyone, what's up

So, I'm running ESET NOD32 antivirus
I ran a scan on my C: drive and the thing keeps flagging this one virus. This is what pops up whenever it catches it:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\gamebound.exe » NSIS » setupv.exe - Win32/TrojanDownloader.VB.OQZ trojan

The problem is, I’ve tried everything, but I just can't seem to actually find the damn thing to delete it.
If I go into the Users folder and try to hunt down every single file manually, nothing shows up.
But the second I run a full scan on the whole C: drive or even just the Users folder, it finds it again. Like, where is it hiding?

Does anyone actually know how to kill this thing for good?
Thanks

Ashley Chase92 said:windows mail.

I've been using
Windows Live Hotmail
with those specific settings, which is how I switch the language

Man, my bad... I totally misread you.
I thought you were asking how to swap the language on Hotmail or Windows Live

But I was just digging around my PC and realized I actually have

Windows Mail installed too, and I just opened it for the first time today.
Sorry for giving you the wrong directions earlier.

Ashley Chase92 said:That option just isn't there. All I get is that basic junk menu. Sending, receiving, signature, composing, connection... just the usual stuff.


My bad, you gotta actually log in to your Hotmail or Windows Live account first. Once you're on the home screen, look at the top right corner
where the settings are. Open that up and you should see the language options. Just pick English—or whatever you need—and you'll find all the other languages in there too.

Ashley Chase92 said:how do I get my Windows Live Mail back to English? Right now it's stuck in American, and honestly, it's driving me nuts. I can't make heads or tails of this thing.

Just head over to your mail profile in the top right corner—look for "Options," click that, and you should be able to swap the language there. Easy enough.

fadedraven132 said:Sometimes it works, sometimes it just flat-out refuses? Why? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and honestly, this activation code is driving me more insane than the OS itself. It's like the code thinks it's the admin and I'm just some idiot. One minute it's fine, the next it's nothing... what the hell is even happening?!

you sure you aren't running a knockoff version of Windows 😁

driftingmarlin70 said:Never heard of an 82-bit version before. All I ever knew was the 86-bit (32-bit) stuff. ☕

That felt a little condescending, honestly.
Look, we aren't all geniuses who have everything figured out. If I don't ask about something, how am I supposed to actually learn anything?
Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software ·
Thomas Hernandez21 said:The pros 😬

x86 means 32bit
x64 means 64bit

thanks, man
never really knew how they labeled the 32bit stuff, guess I do now

driftingmarlin70 said:First time I'm hearing about an 82-bit thing... all I ever deal with is the 86-bit (32-bit) stuff. ☕

Or maybe it was actually 86, I couldn't really tell, my eyes aren't what they used to be.
Just wondering if that's just how they label a 32-bit system
'cause honestly, I have no clue.

Keeping it simple without getting too technical.

Joshua Garcia3 said:You gotta make sure you enter that for those motherboards running Intel chips on the socket 775 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775. Just a heads up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775

If only every single Asus motherboard actually shared the exact same components, maybe we wouldn't be stuck in this endless loop of hunting down drivers. Imagine if they were all built identical? We could just have one universal driver for everything and call it a day. Wouldn't that be something? Instead, it's just this constant, annoying grind. Just a thought. 🙂

Man, I finally got the sound dialed in on that PC. Success at last. 🙂

Just wondering... purely for my own curiosity, you know? Just looking for some info.
Just some Windows 7 installation DVD... wonder if it actually works anymore? Or if it's just another piece of junk sitting in a drawer somewhere. Who knows.
So, I start the installation and it just hits me with that prompt asking if I actually want to go through with it... like, really? Does it think I don't know what I'm doing? Just let me click through already.
64-bit?
Or maybe 82... I don't even know anymore. Is it even worth the headache? Who knows.
Is that 82-bit thing just some weird label for a 32-bit system? Or am I just losing my mind here?
It’s just weird to me... I check the DVD and there's no 32-bit system on here at all? Just the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version. Why would they do that?

Thanks.
