i'd always go for a fresh install. no matter how good the upgrade function is, a clean install reduces possible problems.

currently im playing arround with the homegroup feature of win7. this is very nicely done i think.

Oh, I like it, there just needs to be more tabs than "Home" and "View" or there's really not point to it.

Similar to Word/Powerpoint 2007, if you create a text object in Paint a new Text tab appears.

NO! YOU ARE NOT ADMINISTRATOR if UAC IS TURNED ON!

When UAC is on you are LIMITED USER!

There is no need to shout. He asked a simple question.

Regarding the Paint/Wordpad tabs - yes it's not many, but it's a gentle introduction to the way the ribbon works. There are other benefits to the ribbon anyway, like the button designs and drop-down lists.

I've not read the whole post but I noticed your rude, unthoughtful, post and thought that I'd point out that you can be an administrator and have UAC turned on in Windows 7. I currently am.

Unless I am getting the wrong end of the stick and you are on about something else?

Just bash, I mean, winlonghorn is bashing everyone else, right? Clearly, this child is attemptimg to illicit a response. The question is "Why?" :no:

What? Who says I am trying to illicit a response? I honestly don't give a damn if the person replies or not! I was stating my opinion of the situation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people liking new wallpapers in a new version of Windows! End of Story! And I am not a child for your information! Sorry if you thought that was my goal, but I don't go around picking fights with other people! Also, where do you see that I am bashing others? I didn't address any other person in that post (other than to say that everybody has a right to enjoy wallpapers)! That is all I have to say! Thanks for the input! That is the last time that I try to defend people's right to enjoy things on here if this is the kind of garbage that I am going to take for it! Apparently, you can't do well in this world anymore by trying to be nice. Quite a sad state this world is in if that is the case. Oh well, what can you do? :rolleyes:

Administrators under a UAC system means nothing really, since you're stilled asked to elevate, the difference being you simply Consent with an "Allow/Deny" instead of supplying Admin credentials.

His point, even if it was made rather bluntly, was that simply being in the Administrator account group means nothing in terms of how UAC sandboxes the environment. Since this sandboxing (subsequent denying of either read, write, or both to a specific location) is presumably what is causing the incompatibility, being in such a User Group is irrelevant.

Well the reason that Mac's supposedly don't get viruses is because the Users don't have access to the core files in the system so Virus's can't get to it either. With UAC it kind of meets half way. You still have access to the core files however you need to allow access for you or a virus to do so.

So does the picture that I posted show the User Account proves that I am an administrator? Or does "Right click and run as administrator" makes a difference?

Thanks all...

donchen, it does make a difference. It's a little confusing, admittedly, but "administrator" user level doesn't grant programs that same access. They should request it if needed, but if they don't you have to "Right click and run as administrator".

(It's more technical than that, but for the most part it's enough)

Well, I hope this isn't against the rules, but... here's the login screen image. If it's against the rules, I'll remove it... and there are so many pages in this thread that I'm not sure if someone already posted it.

ok, a few days after installling: 2 problems

-navision won't work on windows 7, not in any compatibility mode

-Iphone syncing works, but not the calendar. My iphone calendars do not show in Outlook, although I do get event-warnings on my laptop when I connect my iphone.

I've installed this build (clean install) and it's working fine. I think it's a bit faster (?).

But there is a downside too: it boots slower than build 7000. It takes about 40s for b7000 to boot, but this one takes about 60s (equal to Vista's boot) :(

I've had same issue regarding display brightness in build 7000 and 7057. When in current power plan is set option to dim the display, sometimes it's impossible to return brightness to its default state (max brightness), and Display brightness section disappears from Windows Mobility Center

no! You are no longer administrator until you use the buildin account "Administrator" when UAC is on. When you are inside the administrator group you'll have 2 accounts in 1 combined. When you login you have LIMITED user rights like a LIMITED User account in Win 2000/XP. When a program or an action needs administrator rights you must accept this by allowing the UAC prompt! Do the same things which triggers an UAC prompt under XP with a LIMITED Account and whatch the stupid message box! What's better? Error message or UAC prompt to accept the elevated rights?

All people who hate UAC have never used a NT system with limited rights before. I'm using NT since NT4 and I know why and where such prompt occur.

So does the picture that I posted show the User Account proves that I am an administrator? Or does "Right click and run as administrator" makes a difference?

read what I told to Calum.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the purpose of the Ribbon in Paint and WordPad. There are only two tabs -- home and view. It's worthless.

The real main purpose is to set an example for third-party developers, encourage them to use the Scenic Ribbon API. The ribbon has made Paint and Wordpad better, but you're not going to see the level of improvements you saw in Office simply because Office has thousands of commands while these apps have very few. Still and improvement though.

To donchen, you're an administrator but Windows doesn't let every program automatically treat you like an administrator until you explicitly allow it to, for safety reasons. That's what UAC is. If you weren't administrator, instead of just clicking 'Allow', you'd have to supply a password, if I remember correctly.

I've reloaded my 7000 image(thank you acronis, lol). 7057 was slower, I could not right click the damn start menu and I had to reinstall my apps. Didn't notice it was slower until I got back in 7000. Bring on the official RC Microsoft. I'll wait.

upgrade or fresh install?

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
