Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I have to switch ISPs soon, and my anandtech.com e-mail adress i registered with was tied to my ISP. I did that with the forum too, but the forum has a user CP that allows me to change my e-mail to an non-ISP e-mail. I cannot find a way to change the e-mail address that is tied to the main...

I remember reading on an article a little while ago on Anandtech about the name of a company(i think they were somehow affiliated with, or maybe split from ASUS) that allows you to hand pick laptop parts, have them shipped and build it yourself. This way I can start with a clean OS and hand...

Thanks for the tip on using EVR. My Core 2 Duo e6850 3.0 has no problem decoding 1080p/720p .TS/.MKV files using the "System Default" option(which does not shut off Aero either, only the "Overlay Mixer" option seems to do this). But if I can offload more video decoding instructions to the GPU...

Well my problem is solved in MPC. Changing the output from the default Overlay Mixer to EVR(Vista/.Net3) did the trick. Subtitles in my .mkv files still work fine, too - maybe because I install MPC via K-Lite. Before this, even basic XviD/DivX .avi files in MPC were shutting off Aero. I had...

I had it in Vista the way you have it now. Aero used to stay on during x264 mkv videos using MPC, and I also have an 8800GT with the latest drivers - (Other hardware includes an Asus P5K3 and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0) Since I installed Win7 almost any type of hi-def video file opened in...

I'm not sure how I managed to do it in Vista, but somehow I was able to keep Aero running during 720p/x264 video playback or DirectX 9/10 gaming, and I can't find the option in Win7. I know my PC can handle all the apps and videos I throw at it with Aero running, and I don't want it to...

Then would I be able to buy Windows 7 Professional Full-Retail and do an "in-place upgrade", so I would not have to do a fresh install and re-install all my software?

I would like to know If the "non-OEM/non-upgrade" full retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium will support the upgrade function from my "non-OEM/non-upgrade" full retail copy of Vista Business. Sorry if this has already been answered, but its important to point out that since Vista, i don't...

My secret question/answer has kind of become obsolete, and difficult to remember. I would like to change it. Is this possible?
