Windows 7
I didn't hate Vista like everyone on the planet...however, did the 64bit Home Premium upgrade - took a couple hours for it to transfer my programs and files over. Works fine, had to find a new Anti-Virus software (McAfee 8.5 not supported, got AVG) and update some drivers so my HDMI sound output would work.
The only thing that I found that Vista was missing (so far) that Win 7 has was a program that would cycle through your pictures as your desktop wallpaper.
Think for yourself. Question Authority.
The jump list feature is incredible, as is the little preview window thing off the task bar. I think, like Kirk mentioned somewhere, the system is all about ease of use and makes everything feel like second nature.

i think courtney is trolling
I'm a real nice guy, loyal to his family and friends, like to help old people and I play well with children, but there is a very dark side to the moon. A predilection for the psychopathic, I have a history of violence I would like to herald always as ancient history. But some guys just wont listen, just wont let go.

Am I the only one who is having problems with Shockwave Flash? I can't use Youtube, or anything that relies heavily on the flash player, because all of my browsers freeze up. I downloaded the latest flash player, but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions? At the moment, this, combined with a notification I keep getting about ATI catalyst control is making Windows 7 more troublesome than Vista. Just my luck.
Everything's fine with Flash and all on my end. I would suggest uninstalling your video drivers, uninstalling flash, restart. Let windows detect your hardware, then go to the ATI site and get their latest update. Also, how old is your video card?

The drivers for my video card don't even exist anymore. I think I bought one of the last computers with a Radeon 3200 before it went out of production or something. It's only maybe a year old at most, but on the ATI website, there is no driver for 3200 series.
Also, I restarted the computer, and things are working fine now, but I'll keep that in mind.
All ATI cards use the same Catalyst drivers, and they certainly list the 3200 series on the website still, under "integrated/motherboard"

Are you running 32 or 64bit? Which browser are you using? If you're using IE-64bit, adobe doesn't support 64bit Flash. Try IE 32bit or Firefox.
S you in your A's. Don't wear a C and J all over your B's
I'm using 64 bit, I'm using Chrome. I had tried looking for the drivers, but couldn't find it. It's good to know it exists. I may start using Firefox, but I was having trouble on that also. It's working for now, so I'll go with the flow. It may just have been one of those things that happens from time to time. My car's transmission did it a month ago. shit happens.
Thanks Kirk for your help
What is new with the windows 7......
it uses a lot less RAM than vista, which makes literally everything on my computer run more smoothly. also, you can do a lot more stuff with the windows and it doesn't jam up for no reason like vista liked to do. much easier to use, i HATE windows vista.
