By all means upgrade to SP3 and apply every available Windows update; it is extremely stable, fixes many bugs and provides the greatest level of security/protection as far as the OS is concerned. SP3+all updates is about as mature and stable as XP is going to get. Regards, Mike

It appears that the modem that the Win7 Advisor doesn't like is inside your computer (add-in card). The modem is used to connect to an ISP via a dial-up connection. Since you already have a wireless router, I assume that you have a broadband internet connection (either DSL or Cable). If you do connect to the internet via DSL or Cable, you have no need for the internal modem. You have two options for moving to Win7. You can either remove...

I'm still not 100% sure on what will come across the HDMI port.... 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. I'd love to hear that you used HDMI to HDMI and were able, from the laptop graphics utility, select 1920x1200 and have it show as such, no black bars top and bottom and no oval...

1. Right click on My Computer Select: Change Setting under Computer Name....etc Click on Change button and type workgroup name Like "My home network" or something else. Do this on every computer (XP, Vista or Win7) so they all have the same Workgroup name. 2. You have to turn on File and Printer sharing on all computers. 3. You have to give permissions to "everyone" under Advance Sharing if you are the only one using your...

Frank - Just gone back to "square 1" and re-read your first post .. it brought back to mind all you had said ...especially that this is in a new laptop. As in my case.and I'm sure it could apply to you..NEW computers , when you get them first , are almost invariably setup in a variety of defaults. and I just wondered if you'd checked all those things. Is the machine for instance setup in 'System' I think it is ,...

Hi again Eugene, No - the CPU is definitely not overclocked in this machine - no doubt about that one. I will get around to pulling it out and reseating it as per your suggestion probably at the weekend. Thanks again. Regards, Zorpie

I just noticed that this thread is almost 3 years old now (started in January 2007). LOL Someone bumped it with this post (and I responded before noticing how old it is): http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1004&message=33808619

Be careful of using "file sync" software for making backups. If you accidentally delete a file from your main disk and then sync it to another disk, the copy will be deleted from the other disk as well. That's not normally the kind of behaviour you want for disk backups.

Bob Collette was kind enough to help me today. He emailed me his profile for his Dell 2209 WA. I installed it and it was pretty much perfect looking on my monitor. He installed my profile on his monitor and had the same problem I had. Also, my profiles were like 600-700k his was 7k. I will borrow a different unit from another friend and calibrate my monitor. Hopefully it will work out better then. For now, I am up and running. No more...
