The beta experience page appeared late there. When going for the
32bit
beta I kept getting timed out until the download manager appeared
along
with the download link finally seen on the Windows 7 page at
'Welcome
to Windows 7' ('Welcome to Windows 7'
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/))

Once you arrive there look for the 'Download the Windows 7 Beta'
('Download the Windows 7 Beta'
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...download.aspx))
"download the Windows 7 beta" link.

It certainly loads right up faster then Vista right from the
start. But
besides being a beta remember you still will be installing a
fresh copy
of Windows without anything else on. Once several programs can be
loaded
on that will tell how well it performs.

I suspect that many rushed out for 6-8gb of memory are going to
be
puzzled when they have a chance to run the next
version.

my current tale of woe - heehee - last install, my IE stopped
working.
That was before it started locking before getting to desktop. Just
installed again, going very slowly, and it gave me a message that it
had to
chkdsk files on C (Win7), and deleted easily 1000 directory entries.
I had
taken an acronis image before that, so I will restore that and have a
looksee. My suspicion is that one of the add-ons to FF hosed it, but
it
may have been Acronis itself. ANYTHING that adds services should be
immediately suspect. Remember that NONE of this stuff has been okayed
for
Win7. It's all a bunch of hee hee, and a lot of giggles if it even
works
at all. But it IS FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to memory, I have 2gb - when I tried it with 4 it only used 3 and
it ran
slower (course that memory was clocked slower.....). I doubt it will
need
more than 2gb tops, unless you're running 64bit, and serious CADCAM
stuff.

So far everything that will install has gone on well. The only problem
run into was running the prebuild of AVG I have saved to a folder where
7 crashed while running the initial system scan. I'm still trying to get
everything on at the moment and will likely get on the 32bit beta with
more.

As for the 64bit version there are no 64bit drivers for dsl here making
that a short lived item not being able to connect online for
anything(drivers, any updates for software to try out, etc.). :cry: And
I just got done adding a new pair of 2gb dimms in too!

I'm waiting to get everything on to see if the 32bit beta gets hosed
again by something. I simply burned the dvd image to disk and
booted from that to see the installation go on. Make sure everything is
going good before running Acronis again there.

yes! I have taken lots of images (by booting to CD), but I have NOT
installed Acronis as I think it hosed the system.

The MS Update for Realtek LAN may be bad.

So far, Blu-Ray (WinDVD9br) , OnAir GT HDTV, Puran defrag (done at boot it
gets the directories), OpenOffice, fireFox, coretemp, SIMeter, DUMeter,
Avast A/V, Lavasoft AdAware, Roboform, Agent Ransack, Irfanview, T'Bird,
Registrar registry editer, HDTach, TreeSize, Logitech SetPoint and
Uberoptions for MX620 mouse, etc... all work just fine. I tried IE7Pro
but it didn't save the tabs so I took it back off. I used a modified form
of Langa to remove a bunch of temp stuff. Gibson Reasearch Shields up
shows stealth. Speakeasy shows the line is good... etc

Gadgets does nothing other than buzz the HD a bit. nothing's there...

Yahoo Widgets won't install because it's not a recognized flavor of opsys.

Oh, be careful of Heidi Eraser - that may have been a cause of some
problems for me on a previous build. Like the hosed MFT

So far, on this build, very solid, very fast. No bsod or anything. I
Like.

I miss having Acronis on the system, so I'll try that again in a day or 2
just after I've taken an image, to be safe.

Too bad you bought the extra memory, but you can always use it!

installed Acronis as I think it hosed the system.

The MS Update for Realtek LAN may be bad.

So far, Blu-Ray (WinDVD9br) , OnAir GT HDTV, Puran defrag (done at
boot it
gets the directories), OpenOffice, fireFox, coretemp, SIMeter,
DUMeter,
Avast A/V, Lavasoft AdAware, Roboform, Agent Ransack, Irfanview,
T'Bird,
Registrar registry editer, HDTach, TreeSize, Logitech SetPoint and
Uberoptions for MX620 mouse, etc... all work just fine. I tried
IE7Pro
but it didn't save the tabs so I took it back off. I used a modified
form
of Langa to remove a bunch of temp stuff. Gibson Reasearch Shields up
shows stealth. Speakeasy shows the line is good... etc

Gadgets does nothing other than buzz the HD a bit. nothing's there...

Yahoo Widgets won't install because it's not a recognized flavor of
opsys.

Oh, be careful of Heidi Eraser - that may have been a cause of some
problems for me on a previous build. Like the hosed MFT

So far, on this build, very solid, very fast. No bsod or anything. I
Like.

I miss having Acronis on the system, so I'll try that again in a day
or 2
just after I've taken an image, to be safe.

Too bad you bought the extra memory, but you can always use it!

I see you're running Irfanview and OpenOffice there as well. I've been
running AVG 8.0 along with the Wise Registry cleaner-1Click, Wise Disk
Clean -1click, Spyware Terminator, TBird, SumatraPDF, Adobe, Itunes+QT,
WinRar, FastStone Capture, DOSBox, the Intellipoint 6.2 update for the
optical Trackball Explorer, even a tv tuner card where the picture is
greyed out for the time being.

Some other tools like CPUID, PC Wizard 2008, IE new window maximizer,
ImgBurn, StarBurn, Nero 8 Express, and some others will be tossed into
the mix. As far as gadgets none were seen when trying to select.
Regarding the memory the pair was simply to upgrade from 2gb upto 4gb
which hasn't been a problem with the 32bit build and still reports a
little over 3.5gb total with about 33% in use.

was
Acronis 2009 that hosed the MFT, so I'm doing my images via the

I'm waiting to get everything on to see if the 32bit beta gets
hosed
again by something. I simply burned the dvd image to disk
and
booted from that to see the installation go on. Make sure
everything is
going good before running Acronis again there.

yes! I have taken lots of images (by booting to CD), but I have NOT
installed Acronis as I think it hosed the system.

Thanks for the list - just went and tried Sumatra PDF and that's a keeper!
I'll look at others in there. Thanks!

Acronis TI home 2009 was/is not the problem - installed (twice) and works
perfectly. It may have been Heidi that hosed my MFT. Something sure
did!!! Things are fine now. What do you use for a file / free space DOD
security eraser? I need a replace met for Heidi...

For erasers or degaussers I can point at you a few retail ideas while
many will simply look for a freeware that writes binary zeros to a hard
drive. The first link has devices for both hard drives and optical media
as well. 'Verity Systems Hard Drive Degaussers / Erasers'
(http://www.veritysystems.com/degauss...b_category=HDD)

For a retail software the WipeDrive software fits the role pretty well.
'Hard Drive Eraser: WipeDrive Hard Drive Eraser is Department of Defense
Approved' (http://www.whitecanyon.com/hard-drive-eraser.php)
