Window 7 Drivers

[SGT Oddball]

Will Windows7 use the same drivers as vista? or will we have to wait months/years again until the product manufacturers catch up.

Hello loopyloo, welcome to Seven Forums!

We're all just going to have to wait and see together.

Depends on the system config. but I sure it wont be like vista.

And we havent had to wait "years" for drivers. Just some are to sturborn to make drivers

 

[smarteyeball]

We'll just have to play the waiting game.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

I don't believe that there will be many problems with drivers as they are basically building on the Vista kernel. Not to mention MS can't afford another fiasco like they had with Vista and the software developers.

[NormCameron]

Given the speed of technological development and huge spectrum of harware and accessories that an operating system has to cater for we are always going to have some driver problems. But as Ted says, Vista has certainly lessened the inpact and given Microsoft a gentle nudge towards maximising compatability.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

I believe MS knew full well what they were doing when they released Vista. They knew to improve security they would have to completely re-vamp the OS as people understood it. They knew that there would be problems. But they had no choice.

That's why they've done it in installments, to lessen the impact.
I believe they knew that Vista would be the first installment of "Windows 7", heck they were talking about "Windows 7" not long after they released Vista.

Just my two cents!

Hello Loopyloo,

I'm sure there will be some differences in them and eventually not work in Windows 7, but for now I'm not having any problems installing my Vista drivers in Windows 7.

Wish I could say the same. I can't get sound out of my amp... anyone would think it's a beta release or something

Now I can, just before I'm about to remove 7 too

 

[Brink]

Smartey,

You might see if installing the Vista audio driver using Compatibility Mode set to Vista RTM mode may allow it to install and run better. I'll be creating a tutorial on this later today, but it's the same as for Vista, but just Vista has been added to the list in Windows 7.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

and the standard drivers should work fine
especially now

i think of this vista as the nextstep or OSX
i know how people see it more like (ME) (i actually used it and maintained and it was good to me, only bsod rarely (drivers that werent for the HW or messing with the registry...lol)
Microsoft knew this was gonna happen (i am pretty sure)
from here on they will have it a little easier...
the base is there all you need is to optimize it and componetize
i only hope they are able to regulate the Winsxs folder though (32 and 64)
i doubt win 7 will be able to though...
maybe win 8

ohh ok
hope you getting working....
i mean you know you wont be getting all the perks that some more faster machines are capable of getting....(well actually you can but its going to run as slow as hell...)....no offense of course...

as i remmeber when that was a very fast machine in 2000's when 2000 and ME were the lastest and greatest (maybe xp..) (i still dont get why everyone was complaing ME was a Disaster.... i installed on at least 4 different computers (all from the 2000 era and at that time they were smooth computing enviroments....:sarc:i had almost no problems (now i didnt say there perfect either...lol) but it ran smoothly...)

yes they applied memory tweaks to the w7 in 6956 version

i do actually recommend it for slower computers...
it even runs on those machines faster than vista...

but for a fast machine with enough memory to have a fresh installation of xp in the ram and have to spare i would go with the 6801 ver x64

and yes buy that time they will have a public beta
