@hdmi, enter key it is your friend...

Yes, I totally agree. But I blame Windows for that.

huh:huh: why would you blame Windows for that??? The sound card company's should be responsible for drivers that work for their sound cards not the other way around. Also the user should be accountable for learning how to make things work on his computor.

i draw comics as a hobby and previously drew them on Windows Vista Paint, now I have Windows 7 I see how horrible the new Paint is.
In the end I just when out and bought Adobe Photoshop and learned to use it.

1-It is not open source-I actually had to pay for it
2-My HP photo printer-no driver, wont even work with the hp5550 drivers.

Is that the actual model number of the printer? HP wrote Win 7 Drivers for a lot of printers already in service. I have personaly installed 3 different models on Win 7 Computers. I had to go to HP.com and download the drivers. The Install disks were useless for drivers.

Not sure what I used for drivers as Win7 doesn't tell you what printer driver is installed, but my HP 5550 Deskjet works perfectly using one of the following....

Built in drivers
Vista 64 bit ones from HP

The only thing that is lacking is the ink level monitor, but a 41-Tap printout will give a more accurate result anyway. A 41-Tap is......
Hold Power button
While holding Power button, press the top button 4 times, then the middle button once.
Release Power button.

Just kidding about the open source, its a joke. I actually love 7, used linux for yrs but defected back to windows,

And I was wrong, the hp 5550 works, but my 7350\7550 is not supported. Hp says to use 5550 drivers but still cant print.

You should have given Paint.Net a try before spending all that money for buying Photoshop.

Has anyone managed to get a Genius ColorPage HR7X scanner to work with Windows 7?

I totally agree with Bowtie. It is not Microsoft's responsibility.

Win 7 refuses to give user Total Control

I have a thread going right now about this issue.. If there is anything I do not like about Windows 7 it is that it does not give even the Administrator Total Control. I have a file I cannot copy to a usb drive and I cannot seem to find a way to change it's permissions no matter what I do. It says I do not have permission to access the file or change its permissions. I have tried with UAC on and off. DEP is Off. I Am The Administrator.

The Kicker is this.. the file in question is a file needed to flash my Bois from a usb drive.. this file MUST be copied to the usb drive to work!

I can copy its folder whole from one place to another, but I cannot copy the file itself out of the folder which is what is needed.

I Demand Total Control.

I have run into this same problem.

Take Ownership of the file.

You do not want to just take ownership of files at will.
Only when you need to.

You should not be full admin on any PC.
An oversight in XP that is trying to be fixed with Windows.

 

[sbrads]

So this doesn't work?

Right click on file > Properties > Security >
In 'Group or user names' mini window left click on 'Administrators (YourPCname\Administrators)' to highlight it.
In 'Permissions for Administrators' mini window, click on 'Full control' tickbox.
Apply and OK.

Now try your copying the file to USB.

Physical drive or partition?

Delete the Win 7 partition, and make a new one with Vista on it. You will need a copy of the operating system.

Neg win 7 there wasn't enough builds. we needed at least 10 more. by then I would have the update down to a mere 2 hours.

Honesty I cant think of a single thing.

thank God they released it more early because otherwise I would have had crappy Windows Vista with my laptop.

What I dislike about Windows 7:

- the main taskbar shouldn't have been changed, it was better in Windows XP and Windows Vista
- not enough screensavers, though I know you can add them manually (XP has way more default screensavers)
- some incompatible programs
