well, win 7 is very solid, need to get use to, but...


Recommended Posts

guys 7 is great, but soetimes its just not that great, when i play xvid file(MPC) the playing is not that smooth, when i browse, sometimes my music stutter's believe me that i know my way in tweaking, i'm still not that satisfied, maybe my setup is messedup, or maybe i'm right.

I'm not sure xvid and music playbacknot being smooth or stuttering means the OS is not responsive.

Both could easily be impacted by hardware drivers without the OS being responsible.

I have 4 Apple QT windows open playing 4 different 720p movies...And I am still quite comfortably able to work on a 60 MB powerpoint presentation. And it is only a 2.16 GHz core2 duo processor. So far I didn't not have any issues with windows 7 when it comes to responsiveness or stability.

Do you have any anti-virus software installed?

That's a significantly more powerful CPU than an old AMD Athlon.

Do you have any anti-virus software installed?

yes, i do. AntiVir, but its dosn't work in the background, nothing works, other thank system proccess+2 3 small applications.

well, how can i check what is the root of all sluggishness?

i mean, my system is running good most of the time, id'e just want to make it better.

about me upgrading my spec's, sure i will in heartbeat, but i'm waiting to AMD new processor, code name "bulldozer". till it's out, il wait, impatiently. :o)

guys, i have nothing but great respect to you, neowin is perfect, the people here are(tmho) are the best on web, quality people, even the insulter's. ;o)

here are my spec's:

do you guys think i'm to demending? with 7 and my spec's?

i dont want to **** u off, but, with xp my system was top notch responsive, couldn't ask more.

with respect.

I have been in the linux world for a while- I am curious as to what program did you use to get those screenshots/specs from?

yes, i do. AntiVir, but its dosn't work in the background, nothing works, other thank system proccess+2 3 small applications.

Have you checked Devices and Printers to see if anything has an exclamation mark over it? Usually, if there's a problem with a device one will appear which could be fixed with a driver update.

No I too am finding it quite slow to respond and whatnot. I can have XP with full visual effects on running fine, but move to windows 7 enterprise in basic mode and it's slow and jerky.

Q6700, 3GB RAM, ATI X1650, etc. so it's not specs-related. (I've even installed the ATI drivers and it's not changed)

You may have some problems with drivers or security software. Check if the software you are using is officially released for Windows 7. Many AV vendors have versions that don't support offically Win7 (although they work well in most cases).

You shouldn't any problems with your specs.

To the OP:

Try the latest drivers for your hardware and tell us if you did an upgrade or a clean install. This makes a huge difference when dealing with new OS.

I'm looking at your system specs and saying to myself it could possibly be a software issue. Did you do a custom install when you installed win 7 or a upgrade? Upgrades can sometimes cause a lot of problems, so a clean install would be a wiser choice. I would suggest to update your nvidia video card to the latest windows 7 drivers too, which is 191.07 http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista...91.07_whql.html Yeah like the guy above, make sure you have all your chipset drivers up to date with windows 7, and install all the necessary updates from windows update as well. I would also max out your memory to 4gb as well too to see if that speeds anything up.

guys sorry for the late reply.

well, i cant quote everyone, but il try to respon to all of you.

drivers: i'm a bit insane when it comes to driver update, i dont feel comfortable, if i do not inspect my GPU+Chipset+soundcard at least once a month, so i'm ok.

software: well, i'm trying very hard to have installed software as little as possible.

i'm cheap as hell on wasted mb in my main drive, what don't belong, gone.

redvamp128 - the application is called: hwinfo32.

+xiphi - i took your advice, as i already knew, nothing, but i went into hidden devices, i saw few drivers remains of " SuperAdBlocker", i removed them.

Xilo - no extra devices, nothing.

guys thank you for helping me, but i think il upgrade soon, and dont get me wrong, win7 is good to me, just not top notch good. ;)

all the best to you all.

I seriously recommend that you upgrade to Athlon 64 X2 socket 939

SP1 will go to very limited testers (Technology Adoption Program-TAP) in December and Connect beta probably February-March. May RTM after Aug. ALL SPECULATION SO DON'T BELIEVE A WORD I SAID. :p

I didn't notice the picture with the specs earlier (it wouldn't load, so I saw "here are my specs: <blank>"). I'd imagine the really old single-core CPU is your problem.

Doubt it. I've run Vista on a +3000 with a 7600GT and 1.5gb of ram and it was very usable. Considering 7 doesnt require as good hardware as Vista, I think its safe to say its not hardware related.

Can't believe this is my first post in all these years I've been around, eh.

drivers: i'm a bit insane when it comes to driver update, i dont feel comfortable, if i do not inspect my GPU+Chipset+soundcard at least once a month, so i'm ok.

I'm confused by the last part of your statement. Sometimes driver updates are required, that's why I recommend you update all drivers to windows 7 drivers or else your computer(windows 7) is not going to run optimal as it should. I suggest getting rid of antivir as well and switching to microsoft security essentials (MSE) too ;)

the issue is he is trying to run an xvid witch he has not told us if it is SD source or HD souce xvid file and if it is HD 720p or greater then his poor single core wont play it that well .

the OP should not blame windows 7 for Media player issues not related to the OS,.

ASAP hopefully. Dumbass IT technician at work won't let me update my computer from XP until it hits SP1.

So ****ing retarded.

The reason why technicians wait until SP1 is because by SP1 any big show stopping bugs would have been found and fixed. Remember that this is a work computer with a work environment, meaning that the main target of your computer is to get work done. If for some reason Win7 messes up your work computer it means you won't be working.

I would say perhaps try a reinstall, with your spec's Win7 should run well.

However with all complex software there are gonna be bugs and with the countless combinations of hardware, drivers and software, so with your combination you may have a problem. Just because Windows 7 works on the computers i own, 2 x desktops (Dell) 3 x laptops Dell, Acer and Lenovo doesn't mean it's gonna run well for everyone. Remember people come to Neowin for help, not to be told that the software works well other members computers.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
