im really enjoying it. has a bad case of consolitis, but if you can ignore that and get a mate or 3 to play with, its plenty of fun. the lack of dedicated MP servers will hurt its potential if you're into online gaming tho.

Yea co-op is wicked fun if a bit easy though. I need to play more co-op games.

Idiot. We ripped you a new asshole in Production already. We don't need to do it again.

Originally posted by Sushipunk Some kind of driver problem? When I first installed it, I had issues wit the trackpad scroller, but it just needed a driver. Weirdly, the Vista driver fixed it. Do keyboards need drivers though?

I checked that first. But for some reason they (sony) don't have keyboard drivers for my model. I've downloaded some other drivers (motherboard, touchpad, system control or whatever) drivers without any discernible difference in performance and without fixing my problem.

RAGE

by the way, my model is the Sony Vaio VGN-CS290.

The SCM driver is the one that adds the functionality of the FN key.

Original - Sony� Firmware Extension Parser under System Components - 3 file(s).

Also, lol at my desktop bluescreening twice while I'm away. I'd turn the monitor back on and it'd have this message saying it's recovered from an unexpected shutdown and that the type of shutdown was bluescreen.

This is with a cleaaaan install of 7 Ultimate.

Then just now I had to emergency shutdown my desktop because it was lagging to the point in which I couldn't even get to the area to do a normal shutdown.

Definitely have some bugs to work out.

Do you have the final or the beta?

It's the final. Direct from Microsoft with prouct key.

Interesting. I wonder if it is a driver issue. Go to start, right click computer and click manage. Go into the event viewer and it should say what crashed or caused the crash.

i just updated to windows 7 x86 today. i like it so far. i do have a gripe about the lack of customization features for the start menu bar. haven't fucked with too much else yet. it is definitely much faster- FL studio projects and other random programs open noticeably quicker. haven't had a driver or hardware issue yet either.

What made you load x86 as opposed to 64bit?

I get a free copy of 7 Professional from my school. It's pretty nice, I like it quite a bit. One thing that bugs me, however, is the exponential amount of time that it takes to copy many files from one directory (or drive) to another. On Ubuntu it doesn't take near that long to copy something.

For example, I'll have a 30 MB folder with about 1000 items in it. It estimated TWO HOURS to finish. No way it should take 2 hours to copy 30 megabytes, I don't give a fuck how many files there are.

That sounds very weird, definitely shouldn't be happening.

I've been toying around with Win7 a couple of days now and it seems to be working fine. The start menu/toolbar took a bit of getting used to but I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

well, i was under the assumption that you can't upgrade a 32bit OS to 64bit (i was running vista 32bit); also while my processor is an athlonx2 64 and i have 4 gigs of ram, i figured my hardware couldn't handle it as well as a solid desktop.

furthermore i keep reading about how a lot of 32bit software won't work in a 64bit environment, and vice-versa. and i also read that there isn't a whole lot of 64bit software being created yet- so pretty much, when 64bit software becomes more mainstream, then i'll update.

i was mainly concerned that my DAWs, ASIO drivers, and traktor wouldn't work anymore (which they do). i had to update and reinstall VirtualCloneDrive, for example. i also had a version of Alcohol120% that i had to straight-up uninstall before windows 7 would even let me complete the installation.

4gb of ram = you should never run 32bit. /end

This is patently false. Windows Vista x64 runs 32bit software fine. It runs it in an emulated environment. Win7 completely eliminates 16bit compatibility and a lot of legacy 32bit code from Win9x days, but runs 32 bit software in the same manner.

MOST production stuff runs in Win7 fine. Chris (mezzir) uses Win7 fulltime and he does lots of production. His Edirol FA66 took a bit to get running, but he did get it running. Him and I were trying a bunch of different things, but it works. Without issue. He is on Win7 64bit.

the extra ram is there in case i decide to upgrade to 64, i know it only utilizes ~3gb

i dunno, in the future i may decide to update, but i'm pretty happy atm- pretty much, if i run into a piece of software that i MUST have and it only runs in 64bit, i'll reconsider then.

I am under the impression x32 can handle up to 4gb - Correct me if I'm wrong here? I had to upgrade to x64 to take advantage of my 8gb ram... I really don't have a problem running most x32 apps. Firefox, MS office (32bit - there is no x64 office), etc... all work fine under Win7 x6.
