Actually you can installing Windows 7 as a dual boot.. infact Windows 7 well do that for you automatically upon installing it on your spear HD. SO there is no need to fiddle with anything just tell Windows 7 on the first screen on where it asks yo

For those of u that haven't tried out the 64bit version you should.. It is nice and runs quite fine.. I am using that right now and so far no problems expect for Window blinds and Dreamm, it seems like in this beta version Dreams can't tell if the Desktop Windows manager is on or not. FOr window blinds I have tired a few that came with the program and it turned off AREO and I was left with basic. So I think Stardock needs to work on that before Windows 7 is offically out to the public. So far

Reply to Firefox Updated to 3.0.1 in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Firefox 3, good browser but i am surprised that no one has said anything about the lack of skins and plugins for FIrefox 3? I am really surprised that they didn't work on updating the skins and plugins for firefox 3 at all! Infact the update told me about my skins and plugins which weren't compitable with that version which is a huge disappointment becasue now we can't customize the look and feel of the darn browser. I sure hope down the road that they get those skins updated and the plugins

*shaking my head in disappointnent* After reading most of the comments on here right to the very bottom of the page, it really does show how dumb alot of you people are. Expect for the tech people that have been certified and been a tech person for a long time. Other then that most of you people are just plain STUPID! ply #21 In February, I purchased a new computer with Vista on it. I immediately noticed that Vista had a lot of eye candy. S

Reply to help with unistalling Vista in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

I want to ask you something By shylitlkitten: Why do you not like Vista in the first place? I know that on laptops it comes with the most run down version but have you ever given it a chance? Also there won't be anyway for you to uninstall Vista at all. Most Laptops that you either buy at the store or online pre-install it for a reason and if it has a separate partion on it that means your out of luck really because XP won't detect any of drivers for that laptop. so learn to like Vista

Reply to Windows Vista: Not Worth the $$$ in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

You know you people are something else! I can't believe on what I just read actually. Vista isn't a bad OS at all, granted upgrading from XP to Vista sometimes doesn't work to well. It all depends on the system and what the person has installed prior to the upgrade and if he or she ran the upgrade advisor program that Microsoft has on their site. If they didn't do that then yeah Vista would be a nightmare to use, but if they followed that to a "T" and unstalled what it asked them to uninsta

Reply to PC or mac in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Actually you know? I really find those Pcs and Mac commericals really funny! Yeah they can be misleading in so many ways but still they are fun to watch though, I mean you just gotta laugh at those commericals. Anyways PCS are really good, Mac is build from Linux (btw), and the Macs are trying to catch up even to the PCS just like Linux is. But still PCS still rule and proably well for sometime until Microsoft goes out of business (yeah right) so. Btw I am sure Macs haas their cra

Well I instealled it and I got the Readon x300/x550 on mine and yeah I had a few problems of it freezing on me but keep this in mind: 1. ATI is just trying their best to give us some drivers for the cards that they got out there. 2. Remember Micorosoft is the one that is holding all the cards at this point until SP1 comes out. So sorry that your having problems but you really shouldn't roll back games do play fine with me expecally now that Gametap fixed their problem with the

Reply to Microsoft Windows Commercial... For Windows 386! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I am glad I don't remember that commerical (if you want to call it that) at all! That was such a cheesy, lame commerical for Windows/386! Even the theme to mission impossible was totally lame and the rap that woman did, eek! I never ever seen such a lame commerical then that and it wasn't even pleasent to watch. So what was Microsoft thinking back then when they made that commerical? Was Bill Gates wondering why it turned out the way it did? Compared to The Apple vs the Mac co

I am not happy one bit that the FCT allowed this even happen even so the laws have changed since the mid 80's but this is just redicuals in so many ways! I am a cingular customer and I knew this was goign to happen adventuarly it was destin to happen. With everything I read in the past about how SBC claimed AT&T (Which was something else) I knew they would go after Southern Bell and Cingular once again. I am just not ready to deal with AT&T since they were once a cable company up here

Reply to When the time is right, should Linux become mainstream? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have to agree on that part.. Linux has a long ways to go before it can even make it in the mainstream and in the big brother realm. Infact I have tried linux versions from Fedora 3 to 4 and then from Linspire (wasn't really impressed by Linspire) they try hard to make linux seem easy but as I found out from trying out linspire the drivers on my Gateway Pc wasn't at all compatible with Linspire nor was the printing, scanning or the modem and the graph
