Pikey Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 What about my Firefox installation? Is there an easy way to back-up my profile so all of the extensions and themes I have are still in tact as well as my bookmarks and all of their tags? The bookmarks and tags are vital and I can't lose them. Download and install FEBE extension for Firefox. It will do a comprehensive backup of everything in a few seconds and it's free. http://customsoftwareconsult.com/extensions/febe/febe.html It's easier still with MozBackup I use this all the time for backing up all my Firefox and Thunderbird stuff ... very handy!! I tried FEBE some time back, but I didn't find it very intuitive at all .. of course it might have improved since then .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drlacus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have another bug since I installed windows 7 for the first time a long time ago. Please anyone check this for me. I think it is a rendering problem and could be an Intel driver related issue, so you need to have gma x3100. 1. Install the zune software 2. Listen to your music and do anything BUT LEAVE THE ZUNE SOFTWARE MAXIMZED IN THE BACKGROUND It could need some time to get the bug and you can'make any screenshot of it, because it will show a correct rendering, but I made a similar picture - a block covers my icons - and a video Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrealistic Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 This build is AMAZING! I can't go back to Vista now. I've only ran into one small bug and it only effected me once (when I moved the taskbar around). Can't wait for RTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel might release a driver due to RC being released on 5th May because most companies will have to work together especially Intel, Nvidia, ATI etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkwell Bogtrotter Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 What do I change in cversion.ini so that I can uprgrade to 7100 from 7068? To upgrade from beta you need to: - Extract the .iso contents to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the old build). - Browse to the sources directory. - Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad. - Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000. - Save the file in place with the same name. - Run setup.exe like you would normally and the version check will be bypassed.

mrrt Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Can anyone confirm if unplugging an XBOX 360 Controller still causes a BSOD? I just tested for you.. it worked perfectly. Plugged it in.. automaticly downloaded the drivers.. ready to use... unplugged it out without getting a BSOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Examinus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I actually like it. It's as pompous as national anthems. :DIt is a little bit too long (the final drum beats should conclude before the menu items pop up, not right after they pop up). It's just a tiny bit too Eurovision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Build 7100 is the worst so far for me. I had 2 blue-screen, once while changing my DVD-ROM drive letter and the second one while trying to save a file to a network drive. All in the span of 10 mins!! I never had any problem with build 7077. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neo7 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I just timed my boot and it took around 2 minutes from initial BIOS output to usable desktop. Only took maybe 15-20 seconds to get through the BIOS (to the point of "Windows is loading" or whatever).Any way to monitor your bootup sequence and check what exactly is causing your computer to take so long to boot up? I just installed Windows 7 yesterday and have all my main programs installed on it. One thing I noticed is I didnt need to install any drivers except my video card, does windows 7 already have all my up-to-date chipset drivers or could that be a reason my boot is so slow? 1:30 on a fresh install is pretty slow, slower than Vista even (it takes about as long to boot as my Vista partition does, and that has been installed for over a year). Several restarts and a couple of days and your boot time will be reduced. I just tested for you.. it worked perfectly.Plugged xbox360 controller in.. automaticly downloaded the drivers.. ready to use... unplugged it out without getting a BSOD. Yes this has been fixed in 7100! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It's easier still with MozBackupI use this all the time for backing up all my Firefox and Thunderbird stuff ... very handy!!. I could not agree more. Moz Backup just made my 7100 install so painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerAusgewanderte Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yes, you can backup your entire profile. Go to the start menu and type %appdata% into the search box, hit enter. Simply make a backup copy of the Mozilla folder. When you install Firefox again, replace the existing version (if there is one) with the backup. Simple as that. Great way to sync your settings, customizations, and addons across multiple computers. Firefox creates a new profile when installed on a freshly installed OS and that profile name is different. The only thing I backup are the contents of the .default folder within the profile folder: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5c2ck6gu.default. Take the contents of that and replace it with the ones in the new .default that firefox created. I am going to give MozBackup a try since it backups Songbird as well - thanks for the tip.
