7201 - Those running it, what's new?

Just running standard video not HD (.mpg) and have a solid "G" connection, also tried it wired with ethernet, no difference. It worked fine with Vista, just been a crap shoot with 7 though. Guess I'll have to just give it a go!

Does anyone know if Windows 7 will show thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer for Canon RAW images? I know under XP there was a separate Power Toy for this and it worked great. It would be a time saver to see previews of .CR2 files without having to run a specialized tool to view them.

I have installed the x86 version. No apparent changes noticed.

Here's an immediate difference:



Previously my aero and my gaming scores were 6.5 so that's quite a jump.
All the others remain the same.
Not sure how much these WEI scores mean but it's a difference at least.

Cheers, John

Your WEI score is old dated back to 4/6/09 ???

its probably a different format of date. date/month/year instead of month/date/year

Can I upgrade form 7100 to 7201?
Or If I do a system image backup with the built in backup util, will I be able to rollback without problems?
I don't want to reinstall all my programs and settings, but I want to try out this build.

Yes, read the forums. Answered at least 20 times.
UPGRADE is FINE.

You can first make an image of your current 7100 build then use windows easy transfer to make a copy of your settings and programs. Finally, you can do a clean install of 7201 and transfer your settings and programs back in. If you don't like it you can always use the image file you created and restore your HD.

It still doesn't remember my login settings for my dial-up broadband connection! Not only that but it seems to forget other login settings for websites that require registration (firefox or IE doesn't matter)

Every time I have installed a new build, it has been a clean install. So, I always back up my profile for Firefox, and after installing Firefox in the new build, I replace my profile, and point the profiles.ini to the correct profile. I use a lot of websites that require a login/password and this works just fine for me. I don't use IE, so I can't comment on that, but I would imagine the process is remarkably similar.
