    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    Well, apparently its not the switch. After 3-4 days of 1.0Gbps, now its dropped down again to good ol 100 Mbps. The new cables are on the way from Monoprice, so we will see. Just odd, how it can be going fine for a couple of days and then it drops. You would think if it was a cable issue or...

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    No, using the Netgear NIC right now. Sorry, I know it gets confusing, I was just going crazy trying to find something that worked. Anyway so far the connection is 1.0Gbps with the linksys switch out of the equation. If that is the answer, what am I going to do with these other two connections...

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    Yeah, that was dated day win7 came out, I got those already. Don't forget one of other computers has marvell onboard and doing fine. Just to let you know I took the switch out of the equation and just using the router now. Just seeing what happens. So far it has been staying at 1.0Gbps.

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    I have also had issues with two wireless machines (g and N) dropping the connection off and on, but just attributed that to immature win7 drivers. Now I'm starting to wonder. Thanks for all the help.

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    Only thing though, this switch was tried with 2 different brand NIC, linksys and netgear. And also the onboard Marvell Yukon. All same result.

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    Ok, interesting since I have been posting the connection has blanked out 3 times, like a split second each and then come back. Wonder if it could be a router issue. Guess, I will go on monoprice and get some new cables and go from there like you said.

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    No, not the same model. Are you saying connect the two computers together with the patch cable. Then what?

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    Ahhhhh. I am about to take a shit on this computer. Right after the above post I checked my connection again and bam...100Mbps. So I gathered myself, straighted up the office after I threw a couple of things, and unhooked everything one by one. I had one computer registering 1.0Gbps and the...

    Is win7 throttling my gigabit to 100mbps?

    JackMDS, I unhhooked everything from the network and just had that machine and one other. It was doing fine at 1.0Gbps. So apparently there is something on the network. I slowly hooked things back up and it appeared that one of the cables is a cat5 coming out of the switch. I left that one...

    Vista minor annoyances?

    Yeah, mistaken about the icons dissappearing, but I will try to check always on top for the sidebar and see if that helps. But yeah, whenever you minimize an application, the thumbnail view will not show the realtime view, just a snapshot.

    Vista minor annoyances?

    Here is something I don't understand. Say I have 4-5 programs open. Some are minimized on the taskbar and some are not. If you hold the cursor of one of the minimized programs it gives you a snapshot thumbnail, but if you hold the cursor over one that is just behind another program in the...

    Is this a driver issue?

    Well I think it may have a been an driver issue. I uninstalled my 100.65 drivers and did a driver cleaner and let vista detect the video card and install the default drivers and it's doing fine now. Guess I will wait awhile before updating the drivers again.

    Clean Install not possible with Vista Upgrade Discs

    Yeah I understand you. My point is that when I booted with vista UPGRADE dvd,I chose to format the c: drive. It formatted, then I installed. Then in the vista OS, I then installed again. So when I installed vista the first time the drive was empty. So it did not install over an old version...

    Clean Install not possible with Vista Upgrade Discs

    If you bothered to read my posts you would see what I did and it's close to a clean install. I would format it and try again with a CLEAN empty drive, but I am already started customizing things and don't feel like the hassle. I'm not worried about it though, the previous version of whatever...

    Clean Install not possible with Vista Upgrade Discs

    No. It had xp installed, but I did format it when I booted with the vista dvd. Don't know if the vista dvd detected an installed os or not, I guess it could have. I might format it and start over to see if it would work with an empty drive Doesn't take long at all to install about 15 minutes.

    Clean Install not possible with Vista Upgrade Discs

    It gives you two choices, install over existing which you can save you settings and programs etc., or custom install which mentions a clean install which will erase everything except for a backup folder that is made for you.

    Question for CM Stacker owners

    Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it needs to be set higher on the drive. But the adapters have 2 pegs sticking out of them which keeps you from doing this. The only way I see to have the brackets in the right place is to put the pegs in the upper holes, but you then can't screw them in. I can't...
