Installed build 7201 and now Daemon Tools isn't working again... I guess.🙄

Just wondering, what resolution are you guys running?

I always stick to the highest resolution my monitor supports...☕

In my case, that's 1280x1024 on a 19" screen, I guess.

Jerry Rogers2 said:I already tried that, but I guess no matter which font I pick, they all look exactly the same. 🙄

Maybe just hold down Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in on the text...☕

Stop spreading misinformation, I guess.
1GB is just a bare minimum for either case, whereas 1.5 to 2GB is more than enough for Windows 7.

Right now my PC has 2.5 GB—it was supposed to have 4 GB, but 2 GB isn't working at the repair shop, so🙄 I should get them next week and finally hit 4 GB. It’s plenty, though... I'm running Windows 7 x64 with two VPC instances (two Windows 2008 x86 servers for practice) and everything runs pretty solidly without major lag... plus I've got an antivirus, uTorrent, and Daemon Tools running in the background too.☕

I’m sorry, but this thread is just an absolute disgrace. It’s a direct insult to the God-man's character and, honestly, to any Christian believer out there. I guess people wouldn't dare ask something like this about Muhammad or the God he preached, because they know they'd face immediate backlash. They'd probably lose their minds if the same questions were aimed at figures from the scientific or atheist circles you all love to quote so much... it's just wrong. I suppose someone in charge should step in, because this really does cross the line of decency.

Just let them be... I suppose it was always meant to happen. This seems to align with the prophecies being fulfilled in our own era....😉

"First of all, you should know that in the last days, scoffers will become widespread. They will follow their own desires and ask, 'Where is his promise of coming? Since the ancestors died, everything has remained just as it was since the beginning of creation.'"

"1 And this you should know: in the last days, difficult times will come. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, fierce, unloving, 4 traitors, reckless, without self-discipline, indulgent, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."

wiredmarlin5 said:Around $1500 imho.

Maybe if it hit $3,800 max, I might consider it... but $4,500 for a single card?🙄 Man, if I wanted to run SLI, just two GTX 300 cards would cost me $3000.... $1000 more than my entire PC did when I bought it three years ago...🤣

ATI will probably drop a cheaper card eventually, but I don't know what to do since I just don't trust them at all... I keep hearing about driver issues constantly... one thing after another...

I'm not sure whether to grab this GTX 300 or just wait for the next generation of DirectX 11 cards to come out??? When is the next generation even supposed to land???? Maybe late in the year, like November or December??? 🤔 Then the holidays roll around, so maybe there will be some sales or something???? hm... hm... anyone got any advice? 😳

Any idea what the price tag on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 300 might be when it finally hits the shelves? 🤔

neoncobra48 said:I set up Windows 7 about two weeks ago RC1 7100 and it seems fine so far. Even managed to grab the latest graphics driver via Windows update last week. As for software—there are plenty of lists online—I guess I'm pretty happy. Steinberg and Propellerhead programs seem to run without any issues.

The actual final build is 7137, I believe...☕

Looks like Windows 7 build 7127 is out... both x64 and x86 versions seem to be floating around...☕

7127.0.090507-1820_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso

CRC-32 F691687F

It's on a torrent site somewhere...🙂 I suppose I'm downloading it now....

And how much does laser treatment for hemorrhoids actually run for? I guess one could look into local clinics or maybe specialized surgical centers in the US... 🤔

Robert Bishop7 said:hold on a second... can you explain? am I formatting the drive via a standard format C command or what... and does this involve a fresh install? I tried booting from it, but it just hangs there forever. We've got all kinds of people here, some clueless and some experts; I guess I'm just grateful for any help at all....

If you boot the computer using the Windows 10 DVD, the options let you wipe the whole drive if there aren't any partitions—or just hit C if there are. Then you move to installation. As for that "fresh install" bit, he probably just meant doing a straight installation of the RC version instead of upgrading from a beta... maybe.☕>

wiredtrucker89 said:I'm aware of that. But it's locked at x11! Meanwhile, this thing shows it on x5. I've got a dual boot setup with Windows XP, and when I boot into that, it actually displays the real status. It's definitely 2640MHz!!

I guess... what's stopping you from just overclocking via the BIOS?☕

Robert Bishop7 said:I've been running the beta for about two months and it's great... some games I couldn't even launch before run perfectly now. Now I want to install the RC version over the beta, but it won't work... if anyone knows how to handle this installation, please let me know... thanks in advance... do I need to have Windows XP or Vista installed first and then run the RC installer, or what? 👍🙏🙏🤷🤷

It’s probably best just to do a clean install of Windows 7 RC...☕

It’s been happening quite a bit lately with my home setup. I can't seem to access Reddit, but then I switch my laptop over to my mobile hotspot and everything works fine enough...

Then, after I reboot the router and grab a new IP address, I can get back onto Reddit from the home PC again, I guess...😕🤔

Taylor Campbell4 said:Could you clarify this a bit? (I've only got 2 GB of RAM right now, but I was planning on picking up another 2 pretty soon)
How does this whole 64-bit thing actually work? I have a 64-bit processor, so I assume the motherboard will handle 64-bit, too (I'm no expert), but if I install x86, will everything just run at 32-bit??
Does it affect speed? What does it actually change? Does it only matter when running a 64-bit application? (I haven't come across any of those 😁)

And why isn't less than 4GB enough?

Any reasons?

x86 (32-bit) systems can only utilize about 3.5 GB of RAM max... and that includes your video card memory... So if you're running an x86 system with more than 3.5 GB—say, 6 GB—the OS will only see and use 3.5 GB... If you have 4 GB or more, you really should go with an x64 system so it recognizes all your memory and can actually use it... x64 systems used to be a headache compared to x86 because of driver support issues and other things... but if you're adding another 2GB to reach 4 GB plus your video memory, and you don't want to reinstall Windows, maybe just go ahead and install the x64 version now so you're set...☕

Anyway, sorry for going off-topic, but I have to ask because it's just bothering me...

Surely you don't believe that fraud, Maitreya.🤣

So, I've got the RC installed. Spent maybe two hours poking around, and I guess I'm pretty happy with it so far...

My D-Link wireless USB card is actually working now. Didn't even need to touch the drivers. On Vista and those earlier Windows 7 builds, it was a nightmare—even with drivers, the connection just kept dropping constantly...

With Norton running in the background, Firefox open, and uTorrent active, I'm sitting at 685MB...

The Task Manager shows 41 processes...☕

Speed seems fine. Everything feels smooth, I suppose. No stuttering or anything...☕

Got a 3.5 on the Windows Experience Index...

Processor: 4.6

Memory: 4.5

Graphics: 3.9

Gaming Graphics: 3.5

Primary hard disk: 5.5

The PC is three years old and hasn't been upgraded. All in all, I'm satisfied for now...🙂 ☕

Noah Miller6 said:Nicholas Collins68.....
If it weren't for those of us in the QA Department (thank God I actually enjoy this), you wouldn't end up with an OS that actually works.
So, maybe stop talking nonsense in the comments.
Have you even tried using Windows 10, or installed it, if you want to make posts like yours?
Do you even know what RC means?
Beta means that if there aren't any more bugs, that same version becomes the Final one....
Ever heard of RC or RC2?

Come on, quit the crap!

Don't start yelling right away..... ☕ You misunderstood me. I don't have anything against the QA Department... it's just people who barely know how to turn on a computer, yet they install a Beta OS and then complain about everything being broken...

I installed Windows 10 and I'm pretty happy with it.... it's my primary system now... (though maybe that isn't smart)... I haven't put the Beta on yet, but I probably will today...

By the way, I read somewhere that the Beta has issues with drives and drivers... I wonder if that's true? 🤔

Christian Collins73 said:thanks to Drew Garcia, I'll go look for that line, haha.
and you, Thomas Hernandez21, stop talking nonsense; I just downloaded them and I'm burning them now.

I guess Thomas Hernandez21 is right...😁 x32 doesn't exist...☕ There's only x86 and x64 😍

Christian Collins73 said:I'm having trouble installing Windows 7, RC x64. I burned it yesterday, then tried to run the installer. Everything loads fine, like the files, but then an image pops up, it hangs for a second, and then nothing happens at all...

My hardware should be compatible, and I grabbed it from the official sites... I guess I don't know what the issue is.

I might try downloading and installing x32 instead, but if anyone has any thoughts, feel free to chime in.

Does it throw an error? What kind of image shows up? Maybe you didn't burn the DVD correctly... maybe try burning it at a slower speed.
