Windows 7 Beta Will Start Dying Soon
I hope everyone had a nice little vacation, I know I did, and I took an extra day off to make it a nice 4 day weekend.
Now onto the bad news. I got an email from Microsoft stating that the Windows 7 Beta will start to break in June 2009. Here is a [...]
Does Your CPU Support Hardware Virtualization?
Windows 7 supports hardware virtualization. Basically what that means is you will be able to run multiple virtual computers each having exclusive control of your pc hardware on your host computer. If you’d like to learn more about virtualization, there is some great info over at Wikipedia. Unfortunately not all processors support hardware virtualization, but [...]
Windows 7 RC Download
Windows 7 Release Candidate looks like it has been released a few hours early. I actually made it to the download page already and am currently downloading the 32bit version, if you get an Access Denied page, or the Java client fails, turn off java and try again. Microsoft also informed me that you will [...]
Windows 7100 to 7068 Downgrade
I upgraded my Windows 7 version from build 7068 to build 7100 yesterday and after coming to terms with a few problems I decided to just revert back to 7068. I originally thought I had imaged the wrong drive before I did the 7100 upgrade but luckily it was the 7068 build from a few [...]
My Windows 7068 to 7100 Upgrade Experience
I went ahead and upgraded my windows 7 x64 build 7068 to x64 build 7100 today and I now wish I hadn’t. Call of Duty 4 broke, ATI Catalyst driver broke, and alot of my programs registry settings are missing.
I had a feeling I should just leave my 7068 alone because it was working fine. [...]
Windows 7 Release Candidate
Microsoft is set to release the first Windows 7 Release Candidate on May 5th. Of course nothing is set in stone with MS and their release dates, but I’d put my money on this being a valid date. I still haven’t decided if I’ll upgrade my x64 7068 build or not, we’ll have to see [...]
Vista’s Snipping Tool Could Be Good
The Snipping Tool is included in Vista and Windows 7 and it allows you to take quick and easy screenshots on your pc. It’s much nicer then having to do the print screen, open paint, and paste trick, but there’s one downside. You can’t change the quality settings to allow for higher quality [...]
Allow More Connections in Windows 7
Windows 7 comes configured to only allow for 10 connections by default. This is supposedly a move by Microsoft to cut down on malicious software inundating the web and killing bandwidth. For the everyday user 10 connections is probably ok, but for us, we need more power.
This tool will patch your tcpip.sys file and allow [...]
Zune Audiobook to Podcast Tool
I am a noob. This is my tool ever created. It’s a weird feeling. Anyway, I made this little program using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I made this tool because the Zune sucks for listening to Audio books. It won’t bookmark the place you were last listening to like it does for Podcasts. I [...]
Upgrading Windows 7 Beta to Windows 7 Release Candidate
Microsoft has put up some instructions in preparation for their Windows 7 RC release (build 7100?). Technically you won’t be able to upgrade from a pre 7100 build to the RC. MS really wants you to upgrade from Vista or do a clean install so they can collect real world data on their install procedures. [...]
