I guess it must copy all the files it needs before it reboots.

After a few niggly things that happen at first it seems to be all running smoothly now.

Ok i got this working without writing it to cd thanks all.

got this on dual boot on my pc now (I bust my spare pc

) and I'm liking it so far. Only a minor issue in that it doesn't like my sound card, but I've also got onboard sound so can use that. Running very well on a core 2 quad with 6gb ram (although obviously only recognises 4gb tops).

Will see how various things work on it now, but will keep using vista for the bulk of my usage, especially media streaming.

Doesn't like my D_LINK wireless adaptor so its useless to me unfortunately!

This fucking navigation pane in explorer needs some work. Its retarded the way they have it now. You double click to open a folder, but the navigation pane doesn't follow you to where you've clicked. Which considerably slows down the whole process of moving files.

Why crap? You'll probably have to install your old OS again

If you need to ask that, you probably should not have installed the Beta.

Probably shouldn't have a computer if he thinks 7 is, as he so eloquently put it, 'crap'.

I'm agreeing with Pansy here.

Found my first problem with Windows 7, when working in Flash I have no problems with .fla files I create on this machine. But if i download .fla files or transfer them via Flash Drive I get a Docfile error.

Very frustrating Grrrrrrr

TheoRacle · « **Reply #151 on:** February 11, 2009, 06:01:35 am »

I have network issues still. Specifically very poor transfer speeds from a 500GB external drive plugged in via USB 2.0 on my server to the rest of my network. My PS3 still plays streamed files perfectly but my other windows 7 machines lag so much movies are unwatchable.

Even opening the drive using windows explorer has a frustrating lag through the network.

Just installed Build 7048 x64. Very nice.

For those wanting to know (or those that may not know?) - Windows 7 RC is now available to the general public. Some links;

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx

New keys are available there too - although the beta keys do still work.

Have been running Windows 7 as my main OS on my laptop and PC since build 7077 - and I am just so impressed; no issues at all with installation, drivers etc. No crashes at all, and application support is nearly spot on.

Guys,

I thought I would share a themepack that I created recently, containing the best hires images from the 2008/09 pictures thread! It took a while to do, but I have ended up with about 150 images which I have made into a themepack for use with Windows 7. Obviously the themepack has been configured to my tastes, but once you install it you can play and configure.

Obviously big thanks has to go out to the regular image posters in the pictures 08/09 thread for their efforts in getting them there first.

The torrent also just contains a directory with the images if that is all you want.

Well, I hope you like - here is the link; http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1935961/?rel=1243351939

A colleague in office is running Windows 7 RC - much, much better performance and just about no complaints as well.

Am running a newer build than the RC presently; just gotta agree - ever since I started using it, I have never had a crash or anything. Works really well!

I just installed it as a virtual machine.

Can't see any major differences that would justify spending on it.
