You don't have to upgrade it to use the upgrade installation disk. There was an old, old trick, from a long time back where you essentially format the drive, pop in the instillation disk, and begin running it. Now it checks the HD for a qualifying install, but won't find it (recent format), but...

I'm not sure about your keyboard, but I had a wierd one with a USB hard drive and Windows 7 Professional, x-64. Basically, plugged it in, booted up, and Windows 7, much as you found here, wouldn't detect it. Was with SP1 and updated and all, also. But much like you had seen with your...

Needless to say, since I posted that (back in 2009?, does time fly), I did get through ICC and ruby sanctum on the hunter there. Naturally things went up, especially after the 4.0.1 patch came out, with it's modifications, and it seemed the intro of mastery (just reforging 1 piece of gear)...

What gawd awful carrier are you stuck with, if they wouldn't allow an upgrade in that period of time. True it was a long arse time ago, but about 10 years ago when I had Alltel, if I wanted to upgrade my phone, but was under contract with a current phone, all I had to do was re-bundle, at which...

This is going to come to bite some areas in the foot. With the economy what it is, and the job market what it is, many people are thinking of moving. And when things become too expensive in an area because of either the government or monopolies, many will leave. This is precisely what is...

Actually, that was my experience in the small town, rather then the big city. My parents retired in Maine, and though it wasn't an ISP, it was the property developer. They had a covenent on the property they bought, which incidently wasn't their first choice. But the house they wanted, slight...

It's more the principle of having a cap of any size, vs none at all. When one competitor doesn't have one, the one with a cap is losing business. But then again, I'm living around Trenton, NJ, and about 12-15 miles (well where I will be moving next) from Philadelphia. So it's rather hard for...

All I can say, is I have no intention of going with Comcrap ever again. The last time I had them was when I was in New Mexico. At the time I was a full time student, my father had a stroke, and I ended up having to drop out of school. But with the cable bill no longer maneagable; they played...

Ya know, I don't know if their ads might have had anything to do with it, or what was going on; but after I installed win7 on this computer, and posted to the win7 forum thread, I had one hell of a bad experience with these gold sellers. I'm still somewhat stunned by the whole thing. The day...

Vista was fairly bloated IMO. Even without the prior OEM preinstall (and we all know they crap up systems with useless bloat), the thing booted well in beta to about 800 and some MB on my old Athlon 64, vs about 250 or so in XP. Which is why it killed on that old machine which had 1 GB (this...

Well, I haven't had much time to play, but so far win7 upon booting to desktop is using slightly fewer memory resources then Vista was. Course the computer on Vista is as it was handed to me (I didn't have the instillation media, so was going with an OEM pre-install, sorta hate those due to all...

Well I'm about to make the plunge, thanks to an agreement with my place of employment (well one of them), where I'm basically paying them directly for the cost of 1 additional liscense under their organizational account for 1 additional computer, and then get a copy of the CD for my home...

Hmm, anyone remember those drives that had glass platters? Hitachi Deskstar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Now, just imagine one of those drives, vs not just someone shouting at it, but an opera singer singing the high note in the Star Spangled Banner. http://www.narod.tv/?vid=117038

When visiting the WoW gold thread in the games section http://www.osnn.net/pc-gaming/99856-i-have-just-been-cheated-there-anywhere-i-can-get-reliable-wow-gold.html#post873131 I noticed it wasn't just the 1 post spammer who tried to link, probably their own spamvertized website; but it was...

Lets just hope news of this, doesn't result in Jehadi (such as the guy who tried, unsuccessfully to blow up Times Square) taking a favor to buying Dell laptops. That's one sort of customer, no business in their right mind, would want to have :o

Here's the thing, failing hard disk? Exactly how? Many have suggested checking the boot order and stuff; but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that if the HD has given some problems of other sorts, run a 'chkdsk /R' on it. If chkdsk comes back and says the format is RAW and it can't...

Boobs might not cause earthquakes, but moobs could in people's stomachs :laugh: ./angel :D

The real question is who your DSL provider is. I had had DSL for about 7 or 8 years and never had such problems though the ISP you have and the plan might give some indication to what's going on. There could also be issues with your line quality. In any case, you can check out DSL · Cable ·...

Well there can be a balance also. Like if something is on the front page, "double posting" doesn't make much sense; but if something is buried back 5 years of posts one probably wouldn't go through all of them sorta thing... On a search there can also be searches and searches. By that, I mean...

A tech sight might not be the best indication of whether a new OS is easy/hard, or how many issues people might have. There's a few considerations: - OK, Vista in many respects was far from an ideal system. TBH, I last used it back in release candidate days; and borrowing a laptor that has it...
