" I installed Firefox 3 and plugged in a Pioneer external DVD recorder, and Windows 7 kept crashing and restarting my PC every few seconds. Windows couldn't figure out automatically what the problem was, but I unplugged the drive and deleted Firefox, and now everything's peachy. I suspect the culprit was just the drive, but I haven't tried reinstalling Firefox yet.
Also, when the OS kept crashing, I finally tried to restore to an earlier, stable version of Windows 7. The program ran and ran, and eventually said the restore feature wasn't working. But when I restarted, it had successfully restored.
I played with Paint and Wordpad and a few of the other basic apps, and they all seemed functional. Solitaire still works!
Overall, Windows 7 seems like a decent OS. If you've been clinging to Windows XP until Microsoft releases a streamlined, fast operating system that doesn't require high-end hardware to shine (I installed on middle-age PC with an AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 2.4 Ghz processor, two gigs of RAM, and ATI 9800XT AGP video card) then 7 might be your lucky number"
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
If I was going to make a partition on my hard drive for Windows 7, how large should I make it?
at least 10GB if you want to install things like games then you would need much more
it was difficult for me i needed to get a hard drive from a friend then it gave me blue screens twice which i think was because of my creative sound card so i gave up after wasting hours on it o well
i can tell you however it is very good but still a beta!
Quad Core Q6600 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, HD 4830 512MB, 250GB HD PC i'm about to build
What is it with Microsoft and even numbered releases?
" I installed Firefox 3 and plugged in a Pioneer external DVD recorder, and Windows 7 kept crashing and restarting my PC every few seconds."
well it's obvious duh!
the 50 million updates aren't avail yet hehe . I'm not even going bother yet until I see some hard proof this shyt is going to fly this time. I have a legit Vista ultimate with maxed out ram great gfx card and I'm affraid to use that OS. Win xp pro sp3 for now.
We need a real 3rd contender for the OS market and like how Firefox took on IE. Some good old competition.
