Why don't you just move your post over here? 😉

@ jadesurfer5
You know that old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
My advice? Stop stressing over whether every single driver is perfect. Windows 7 handles most of this automatically; the OS itself takes care of keeping those generic drivers updated. As long as you don't see any yellow exclamation marks in the Device Manager, your hardware is running just fine. If you plug in something new later—like a printer or a scanner—the OS will let you know and grab the right driver then. 🙂

Take a look here (under Resolution) at how much disk space is allocated for System Restore points. That might be where the problem is hiding. 😉

All because of one single driver? Why not just back up all your precious files and wipe everything to reinstall Windows 7? 🙂

Can't you see the Reply button?

Sometimes you just have to take it in for repairs (Services).

Turn system Restore on or OFF

@ Sophia Lee
Take a look and see if it works for you. ovo Help me out here. (American version)

So, essentially, the WEI doesn't actually track how your system performs; it just gives you a snapshot of the relative hardware power available while running Windows 7.
You can read the full article (written by the guy who actually heads up the Windows division at Microsoft). Here.

Understanding the AppData folder in Windows 7

I'm assuming you've got Windows 7 Ultimate running with the English Language pack installed.

Go into the Control Panel, then System & Security, and check the System section to verify your OS version.
From there, head over to Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall, and select a program—or better yet, go to View Installed Updates to find the Language pack and uninstall it (assuming you actually want to change the user interface).

Here’s an example here

There isn't a straightforward way to do this—unless you personally consider digging through the Registry and messing around in there "simple."

E Series | Product Serie ; one model runs Linux, while the other uses Windows 7 🙂

Check here to find your specific notebook. Select the correct Windows 7 version and download your wireless lan driver 😉

Have you been keeping up with Windows update regularly? And did you actually activate Windows?

Take a look at Network Meter 😉

1) Going back to XP isn't going to magically fix your battery life; it won't make it last any longer than it already does.

2) Just set up those function keys in the BIOS.

@ goldenhound32

Aren't we talking about the Dell Inspiron N5010 or the N7010 here? As far as I can tell from what's listed on PriceGrabber, that's the only model actually shipping with the P6200 processor. 🤷
From what I've managed to dig up online, you aren't going to see any massive battery life improvements running Windows 7—you're probably looking at maybe two and a half hours max.

If you need to figure out how to configure those function keys, check here (page 36); might save you some headache. 🙂

Charles Thompson15 said:After leaving my computer idle for a few minutes, it logs me out, and then I have to enter my password just to move the mouse. This has never happened before. How do I disable this?

Check if you have a screen saver active with the "On resume, display logon screen" option checked. 🤔

@ swiftdriver30

Taylor Morales31 is right. This is a forum thread dedicated to Windows 7, not a guide on how to "cook up" a Mac OS X installation on a PC.
The moderators should feel free to move these posts over here.
Regarding your last post, I can only respond with 🤷. Honestly, I’ve never messed around with Hackintosh-om the way Keith Bennett38 does, nor do I have any reason to—I'm typing this on a Mac.

@ swiftdriver30
ASUS > Products > Motherboard Series, look for the G31M-GS (there are two different revisions) OR
reboot the PC, tap F2 to get into the BIOS setup utility, go to Advanced, then IDE configuration, and switch it to "Premium"
just follow the same steps you laid out in your previous post #5871

👏 🙂
