[QUOTE=Wiggles;17922072]I'm liking the look of the Asus VH242H. Shame the price is pretty inflated here in the UK.[/QUOTE] I have the smaller version of that monitor (the 224H), and I absolutely adore it. Best monitor I've ever used.
[QUOTE=YodaEXE;17922751]I have the smaller version of that monitor (the 224H), and I absolutely adore it. Best monitor I've ever used.[/QUOTE] That's good to know actually, since I was looking at the smaller model as well. Is it easy to read text at that size though?
I'm stuck with the VGA-only Envision H191W 19-inch widescreen LCD. It's been good to me for 3 years, but I want a 24" 1920x1080.
Is 64-bit included with the Windows 7 package or do I need to order it separately?
[QUOTE=a2h;17926612]Is 64-bit included with the Windows 7 package or do I need to order it separately?[/QUOTE] You get 2 cds. One with 32 bit, and the other With 64.
I still haven't bought it, that damn Student offer only gives out Upgrade disks, which may not work for me as I have a OEM Vista, and I [I]may[/I] have to give the PC the OEM version is installed on to my brother whenever I build my own PC. I've heard that installing a upgrade invalidates the old OS, which I still need. But I have also heard that the Build 7100 RC counts as a old OS, so maybe I won't have to invalidate my Vista...can anyone confirm that?
[QUOTE=Smoot;17917462]Quick question: I want to have all my programs combine on my taskbar but I don't want the names to hide. There is no option for this. All that I can choose from is: Never Combine, Combine when taskbar is full, and Always combine and hide labels. :([/QUOTE] Never combine still combines them, it's just very subtle.

[QUOTE=Chris122990;17916132]Open an Administrator Command Prompt Type: bcdboot C:\Windows /s c: If you're not using US English, you will need to add -l (locale) to that.[/QUOTE] You coul have saved me a hell of a lot of time and problems if you where quicker at the reply.
I have a quick question, not strictly Windows 7 related, but it's to do with windows. If I get a new PC in the next couple of months, can I use the same copy of 7 on my new computer if I uninstall it from the old one first? Legally that is - I know it's possible, but I wanted to know the legality.
Depends. Is it an OEM (pre-installed by a manufacturer) or Retail (bought the software at a store) copy? OEM = No Retail = Yes
Every time I'm off the computer I keep thinking to myself wanting to install Windows 7 and then I get home, turn on the PC and the exhilaration is gone :(
[QUOTE=Wiggles;17923183]That's good to know actually, since I was looking at the smaller model as well. Is it easy to read text at that size though?[/QUOTE] I've got no trouble reading it, and I routinely relax a bit further away then one would normally sit. From about 4 feet away I can still read the little text that says Inbox Controls etc up at the top of this page. Granted, I have better than most eyesight, but most people should have no trouble.

[QUOTE=Chris122990;17930501]Depends. Is it an OEM (pre-installed by a manufacturer) or Retail (bought the software at a store) copy? OEM = No Retail = Yes[/QUOTE] Also if it's the kind of OEM you can buy on newegg, then it's mostly legal but you'll probably have to call in to activate.

How do I make the above a reality?

Is anybody else having problems with playing DTS audio in beta versions of 7? I still have 7100 on my HTPC and I have yet to install the RTM. But as it stands, it just will not play any DTS audio. Everything else works just fine.

My Zen shows up as a portable device. I want to add a drive letter to it so I can format it to something. How can I make it not be a device thing?

I'm debating on whether to order Win 7 or not, [url=http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-124-MS]Overclockers have the lowest price that I trust compared to others on Google shopping[/url] but I don't think I have enough monies! D:
I don't know why Windows 7 is so popular among gamers, as it can crash every game that was released after 2004.
[QUOTE=pawelte1;17943967]I don't know why Windows 7 is so popular among gamers, as it can crash every game that was released after 2004.[/QUOTE] For you or others? All I've read is better if not the same performance people got on Vista.
[QUOTE=pawelte1;17943967]I don't know why Windows 7 is so popular among gamers, as it can crash every game that was released after 2004.[/QUOTE] wat I've never had a 7 related game crash for any recent games.
