I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop and I have Nero 8, but the info tool isn't showing up. My drive is acting up, so I was thinking about trying a firmware update maybe?div>
Try reinstalling Nera. You might have unchecked some of the extra components during the initial setup. Nero 8 shows the info perfectly fine for me.
My Norton is running without any issues, but there is one thing that keeps tripping me up: occasionally it shows me using 1.2GB of memory even when I'm not doing anything special. I'll restart the machine and all the same processes are running just like before, except now I'm only using 550MB. Probably some kind of bug? Has anyone else run into similar issues—if I can even call this a real problem?
In short; comparing Windows XP to Windows 7 is pointless. This is all new. If any of you actually remember what XP was like when it first launched, you’d be trashing Windows 7 right now. I’ve been in this game a long time and have cycled through just about every version of Windows out there. For me, XP was nothing but a headache until that first service pack finally dropped. As for this new Windows 7? It’s easily the most stable "modern" Windows I've ever used. I’ve had it running for about three weeks now and everything is working perfectly. When I think back to my first XP installation, it makes me sick—I had to roll back to Millennium ten different times because of all the XP glitches. And don't even get me started on Vista. In my opinion, it’s the worst thing Microsoft ever produced. Honestly, I think they tanked it on purpose just to make Windows 7 look better and more stable by comparison.
That's it. Stop hating on Windows 7 when you all struggled through those early XP days until SP3 fixed everything. Just wait until the first service pack for Windows 7 rolls out.
