RealVNC personal and Enterprise work with Windows Vista just fine (I use RealVNC Enterprise at work), provided you allow the holes in your firewall. The free RealVNC still has issues. Don't install any of them as services, just run it as a user process. You may need to run it as admin also...

Nothinman, amen to your last statement. Windows will be with us for a long time. Windows 7 is just the latest and greatest. It certainly works better across a wider spectrum of gear right out of the box, but the problem will generally devolve into one of three categories: Poorly written...

This news is a bit old, Microsoft already countered this "crack" (just a leaked OEM license code), as noted by WobbleWobble. The source article notes this as an updated at the top of the article. Other articles include this one: http://tinyurl.com/mgahdv I believe they even noted something over...

Windows 7 (and Windows Vista) will generally auto-detect and have generic drivers to work with most SATA/AHCI chipsets. That Intel based chipset definitely works (as I have installed Windows 7 RC onto machines with that chipset). the F6 storage driver install is mainly for specialty adapter...

imadjok: Try running PowerPoint in presentation mode, and tell it in its settings to use that second Monitor as the presentation display monitor. Then your primary monitor (facing you, likely) will be a screen that shows upcoming slides, notes on the slides, and miniature versions of the slides...

IE8, by and large, works very well and is rather snappy and response. Seeing as it is now standards compliant for HTML rendering, it breaks some old IE reliant pages. However this is where the "compatability mode" comes into play. Users can either click a button to change mode, or you can push...

Yeah, as was suggested earlier, updating your drivers should have fixed the issue. Also, pay close attention to the actual specs of your monitor. I know lots of 720p/1080i monitors/TVs that have really odd resolutions that are neither. Also, if it is truly just a monitor and not a TV, you can...

I'm actually rather proud of NVidia really pushing on the GPGPU front. Not only with PhysX but with CUDA, and now pushing forward with OpenCL (for all platforms, they just released drivers for Windows and Linux, and OS X 10.6 SnowLeopard will have some in its driver stack supposedly) but also...

Yup, I'll agree with the other folks that as long as you put some more RAM in there, and when you install Windows 7, be mindful of not putting in lots of the more intensive features (don't use gadgets and such) it will work just fine on that system. You are okay with XP, but if you want to...

Trexmgd, While that software will last you a good bit (the WIndows 7 RC), do be careful as it _WILL_ eventually time out. The official dead date on it is June 1st of 2010. However, it will start rebooting on you every 2 hours starting on March 1st, 2010. So you have until March to...

Psynaut, depending on the driver setup and capabilities, you can actually do a few universal EQ and effect things in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Try right-clicking on the volume icon in the system notification tray. Then choose Playback Devices. When in that control panel, choose your soundcard...

It sounds like the ownership didn't take, or that some permissions on the folders have been removed. You could try posting to the official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here: http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 They could help sort you out. Chances are something like this has already been answered...
