      Should be an easy fix. Screen Resolution>Orientation. See pic.

    • in reply to: A recommended book about Windows 7 #1230044

      I have to recommend the tutorial section of sevenforums.com. MVP Shawn Brink has done an excellent job of writing a tutorial for just about everything imaginable.

      Here is an index of tutorials: http://www.sevenforu…rial-index.html

      2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
      a. One Copy per Computer. You may install one copy of the software on one computer. That computer is the “licensed computer.”
      b. Licensed Computer. You may use the software on up to two processors on the licensed computer at one time. Unless otherwise provided in these license terms, you may not use the software on any other computer.
      c. Number of Users. Unless otherwise provided in these license terms, only one user may use the software at a time.
      d. Alternative Versions. The software may include more than one version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at one time.

      You can’t get much more clear than that.

      Try running in compatibility mode for Vista.

      Try changing the SATA setting in the BIOS to AHCI, or non-RAID (aka IDE) if AHCI is already set.

    • in reply to: Partition problem with clean install of Win7 #1229125

      What are not recognized, the drives, or partitions?

    • in reply to: Dual Booting W7 and W7 #1228752

      You can, although it’s technically illegal. The EULA clearly states one installation per product key.

    • in reply to: Dual Booting W7 and W7 #1228742

      Sure, that will be no problem. Just install it with the other drive attached.

    • in reply to: Microsoft Security Essentials- good or bad? #1228634

      I agree with Clint. By far, the best security is offered by safe browsing habits and common sense in downloading files. etc.

      MSE is my primary and only AV on my machine, but as a BSOD analyst, I see the other side of things. I have seen countless BSODs caused by AVG, McAfee, Norton, Avira, ZoneAlarm, and even old versions of ESET. MSE is our “fail safe” AV, being from Microsoft, they tend to know how their system works and thus it will never cause a BSOD.

      It is also true to never run multiple AVs at once. The exception is Avast.. The developers worked with MS. so you can safely run Avast alongside MSE. I also have heard numerous reports of running Malwarebytes alongside MSE, but I’m not sure if I can officially recommend it at this point.

      Not sure how to do it manually, but you can use the Ultimate Windows Tweaker (7’s equivalent of TweakUI): http://www.thewindow…windows-7-vista

    • in reply to: Vista To Win 7 Help #1228314

      You can use Windows search for that. Open My Computer, and search for .mp3 in the search box in the upper-right corner. Do the same for .flv. etc.

    • in reply to: Strategy needed for new laptop #1227953

      I warn you about using registry defraggers or cleaners. They are notorious for causing problems. Can’t tell you how many time I have had to recommend a system restore or even a clean install on account of them.

      Defragment your hard drive every couple of months or so, but other than that, CCleaner to clean out cookies, temp files, etc, and uninstall unneeded programs.

    • in reply to: Strategy needed for new laptop #1227879

      Periodic restoration is not necessary, with a little maintenance. I recommend a 50GB partition for programs and the OS, and the rest for data. That way, if you need to reinstall for any reason, backup is easy, and often unnecessary,

      Use a junk cleaner like CCleaner regularly to clean out temporary files, and uninstall unneeded programs. That way, your system will stay clean.

    • in reply to: Cannot delete e-mail in Win Live Mail #1227761

      I suggest a system restore to get to a point before the updates. Then install them one or two at a time until you figure out which update is causing the issue.

    • in reply to: How to Reveal My CD Drive? #1215934

      You may also try giving the drive a letter in Disk Management. Type diskmgmt.msc into the start menu and press enter. Right-click on your drive if it is listed, and select assign drive letter and paths.
