I have to agree with Maulwurf. The guy does seem a bit POed, and I don't think linux is quite as bad as he says. But, alot of issues do need to be addressed. But, M$ is the reason behind alot of them...

You could try deleting it in the device manager, the restart the PC and see if it will work. But, I'm really doubting it. 99.99% of the time it is a bad drive if it shows up in My computer and won't...

Try uninstalling the wireless card completely along with any software you have (if running something other than the built in wireless card)

Once you have removed it from the device manager,...

Right, its not like burning an ISO file. You can burn .rar, zips, exe's etc without any special programs.

Never mind...:)

Yes this is coming up. There is another thread here about it. M$ is doing whatever they can to stop Piracy and make people buy a legit copy of windows. So this is the next step they have come up with.

Yes they could be related. (Most will probably disagree) But, I've had many problems with PC's when the cdrom drive is going out or has gone out. I've even reformatted pc's 3 or 4 times trying to...

Yeah the problem is definately your Speed. You have DSL, but you don't have High Speed. Your not even getting decent Dialup speed there. Your download is only getting 9.375 kilobytes per second. Most...

You may have to reactivate. Most likely not though. Hard to say with Windows though. I've done upgades like you mentioned and didn't have to reactivate, then I only changed the memory and had to...

Your computer won't crash. You'll just keep getting warnings about Low disk space and you'll get to where you can do anything due to it. But, it won't actually crash or hurt it.

AVG should let...

Yeah I just found that and came back to mention it. See you found the problem.

They say it is caused by something in AVG Crashing. Its nothing specific doing it, it seems to be different on each...

You got that right. It will just be another pain in the butt for the legit users.

By the time this actually rolls out there will be ways around it. Always is. I remembe when the activation crap...

Have you done a good virus/trojan/spyware scan lately?

AVG doesn't use that much space. Mine has been installed for a year and I just checked it and its using 81mb's.

Sounds like you have...

What kind of Computer is it? 2 things come to mind.

1. Check again just to make sure the setting took place with the Screen Saver and the Power options set to never. (Just to make sure)

2. Do...

After upgrading to Win7 did it boot up at all? Did this start immediately after upgrading or after you Unhooked the second drive?

About $18 USD for a new fan to save the Laptop. What your doing is just going to fry everything. Really isn't worth it.

No there isn't anything you can do to keep it running cool enough to operate...

I'm in the same shape here. But you will have to do a complete install. There is no way of doing a Downgrade. All OS's require going up as the files that are involved can't be downgraded since it...

Max, the chances of this happening is so very very very slim. I've dual booted since windows 2000 came out and never had one mess with the other (once I figured out how to put on 2 seperate...

Hey ya Max and Train.

I'd like to recomend you trying Linux Mint 8. They have a main edition which is Gnome, then x64 which is gnome, then Mint 8 kde which is KDE ofcoarse.

I have the gnome...

You know, I see alot of people in this thread that I really miss seeing around all the time. Stever R Jones, Murf, Max, Bistro, Sarni, Kat, Smurfy, and many many more. It is really sad that we won't...

I just got an Email about this. My sympathy goes to his family.

I never met him either, but always got along great with him over the past 7 years. He will truly be missed.

Yeah, tried to back that down. Didn't help... Thanks for the suggestion Ridgerunr..

Got a new Crystal cs4614 sound card and Logitech 6 speaker/with sub system.

Anytime I have page that has any Moving banner/ads, java, or just click on links. My speaker make a major crackling...

Hey ya BJ. Good to see ya again. I do drop by and check in, I just dont have time to spend anywhere these days. I dont spend the time like I use to at other boards either.

The above hasn't...

The Famous Butter threads.... I remember when Jaak started those. Cofused the crap out of me and most of it still does. But, they are very informative and still alive and running. He is still...
