Welcome to Free PC Help Forum. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.

I don't know what you are asking. Can't answer if I don't know.

This post is a guest post from Steve Guttman, of the Expression Web team.

You have to buy the domain name. Windows 2008 doesn't create domains. It serves the content.

Found this on YouTube. If any of those concepts make it into Windows 8 it will impress me. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0r6tINInrw]YouTube - Windows 8 "Preview"[/ame]

You can link to downloads and torrents you just can't post the actual files or torrents here. I guess I will have to clarify that in the rules.

Re: Software Issues Realtek just released a new driver for Windows 7. Download it and try it.

It's possible you didn't set up the network correctly when you installed. Do you have any connections setup?

Yep. Now that RTM is in the hands of all the driver devs things are looking up for Windows 7.

Today I am pleased to announce some new technologies to help developers and IT professionals make the transition to Windows 7. For developers, we are announcing the public beta for the Platform Update for Windows Vista. The Platform Update for Windows Vista is a set of runtime libraries that makes it easy for developers to target both Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The Platform Update for Windows Vista includes: Windows Ribbon and Animation Manager Library: contains the Windows Ribbon API, a command framework that enables developers to quickly and easily create rich ribbon experiences in their applications, and the Windows Animation Manager API, an animation framework for managing the scheduling and execution of user interface element animations. Windows Graphics, Imaging, and XPS Library: components for developers to leverage the latest advancements in modern graphics technologies for gaming, multimedia, imaging and printing applications. It includes updates to DirectX to support hardware acceleration for 2D, 3D and text based scenarios DirectCompute for hardware accelerated parallel computing scenarios and XPS Library for document printing scenarios. Windows Automation API: allows accessibility tools and test automations to access Windows user interface in a consistent way across operating system versions. Windows Portable Devices Platform: supplies the infrastructure to standardize data transfers between an application and a portable device, such as a mobile phone, digital camera, or portable media player. Please note that the Windows Automation API will also be made available as a separate download for PCs running Windows XP. Source: Windows Team Blog

Is the nic showing in device manager? Maybe the correct drivers are not installed for the device.

Welcome twlewis to the site and I hope we can share our knowledge with you.

It’s well understood that the typical computer users today spend much of their time in their web browser, making it the most important software on their computer.

Microsoft is looking into a zero-day vulnerability today, which reportedly affects systems running Windows Vista and 7. Researcher Laurent Gaffie said that a hacker could exploit the flaw on Windows 7 to cause a critical system error. The flaw lies in a Server Message Block 2 (SMB2) driver. Gaffie said in a blog post yesterday, "SRV2.SYS fails to handle malformed SMB headers for the NEGOTIATE PROTOCOL REQUEST functionality." People who have commented on his blog post are reporting that the exploit can not only lead to denial of service, but also remote code execution. Gaffie has contacted Microsoft, and it has since responded by saying that it is investigating the issue but that it is "unaware of any attacks trying to use the claimed vulnerability or of customer impact." The H has successfully tested the proof-of-concept code, which caused a reboot on Vista -- but did not work on Windows 7. Source: TechSpot

That's one of my favorites also. I also like the ease in switching to open windows when you have more than one open in a group. Also easy to close windows you don't need any longer.

Did Skype release an update? I couldn't get it to work in the beta versions and hadn't tried it since. It's on your list so I'll give it a try again.
