Open it in a reshacker and switch out the image. If I remember correctly the author used WSB so I couldn't tell you what number it'd be at.
I have a question. Can doing a clean install of Win7 solve my constant BSOD problems? Because I tried upgrading and it gave me a bsod and the upgrade failed.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;20502981]I have a question. Can doing a clean install of Win7 solve my constant BSOD problems? Because I tried upgrading and it gave me a bsod and the upgrade failed.[/QUOTE] Well if the BSODs are due to a software problem, yes. If you keep getting BSODs it might be a hardware problem (I had faulty RAM and I kept getting BSODs that told me there was an error with GPU drivers or HDD, turns out it was RAM all along). [editline]10:47AM[/editline] Also I'm still running RC because my W7 hasn't arrived yet (should arrive today), but it seems that any kind of timer and/or warnings are gone, so is it going to be an ass and shut down after two hours without warning, or have they granted us a pair of days to upgrade?
Damit stupid postman! bring me my windows 7 copy!!

Alright. So. I have Windows XP. Now I know that I can't upgrade directly to 7, but would it be a bad idea to make like a ~20gb partition just for 7 so I can keep all of my data? Would this render alot of games unplayable?
Hey guys, I just put windows 7 professional on a fresh hdd, everything went fine with that my only problem now seems to be that when I talk on Ventrilo my friends say that it just descends into static after a few words, sometimes not even that, so, what have I done wrong? I'm assuming I need audio drivers of some sort although my motherboard disc says it's already installed them. I also noticed my realtek sound manager is missing from where I used to have it on XP. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. I'll also note in device manager it doesn't say anything about realtek.

So use the custom installation, your files will be safe. You just need to copy them back over afterwards.

CD drivers are really only for situations where you either need them to get on the internet, or if you don't have access to the internet.

First 5 are the most popular.

Jesus, Quartz is blurry.
Yeah but I think it looks nicer anyway. Also I have a bug in my new install of Win 7. The right hand side of the screen doesn't stop the mouse properly. It seems to go on for I guess another 100-200 pixels to the right of my screen. It's weird
[QUOTE=Dr Egg;20634846] My personal ranking :D [editline]09:31PM[/editline] And yes I did spam refresh until it came up like that[/QUOTE] I dunno, I'd place Chrome before Opera. Unless you're trolling and suggesting that IE trumps all 4 others...
[QUOTE=gparent;20636475]I dunno, I'd place Chrome before Opera. Unless you're trolling and suggesting that IE trumps all 4 others...[/QUOTE] IE does only in marketshare. Which reminds me we might be seeing a CTP of IE9 this time next week. Tests shown as of Nov, 2009: [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/4114674961_55f7f07f8c.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2735/4114667373_1e799104e1.jpg[/img]
hahahah wait nvm I had dual monitors on backwards without realising [editline]11:24PM[/editline] [QUOTE=gparent;20636475]I dunno, I'd place Chrome before Opera. Unless you're trolling and suggesting that IE trumps all 4 others...[/QUOTE] Why is it trolling to prefer IE to any other browser? [editline]11:25PM[/editline] Also speaking of IE9, has MS said anything about WebGL? I was messing about with Safari and noticed it has (experimental) WebGL support, which is odd since I don't recall Safari ever being updated since I started using OS X
[QUOTE=Dr Egg;20637079]Why is it trolling to prefer IE to any other browser?[/QUOTE] If you just prefer it that's fine, but I thought you were ranking them based on how good they were.

What are you talking about? They started at version 1. (Granted, that was merely a rebrand of Spyglass, but still).

Why the hell every time I try to run Crysis I get an error that application stopped working? Windows doesn't want to tell me any reasons, etc.
I dunno. Works fine for me. Check your drivers. Also try Right Click -> Run As Administrator if UAC is on.
[QUOTE=gparent;20638033]If you just prefer it that's fine, but I thought you were ranking them based on how good they were.[/QUOTE] Yeah if only I used some words to signify that it was my personal opinion. Oh well.
[QUOTE=Chris122990;20665113]I dunno. Works fine for me. Check your drivers. Also try Right Click -> Run As Administrator if UAC is on.[/QUOTE] It didn't work.
Question. I've got my superbar using small icons, and I like the size of the bar, but the icons are TINY >:( Is it possible to make them a bit bigger, like the size of the icons in the tray?
[QUOTE=pawelte1;20665149]It didn't work.[/QUOTE] All right, I got it to work on Vista SP2 compatibility mode.
[QUOTE=Flon22;20665303]Question. I've got my superbar using small icons, and I like the size of the bar, but the icons are TINY >:( Is it possible to make them a bit bigger, like the size of the icons in the tray?[/QUOTE] They are that size, they just look smaller because of the superbar space around them.
