Windows 7

Post by YamNivek » Mon Jan 12, 2009 4:28 pm

Anyone using it yet?

I installed it sunday and it seems to be ok so far. I am still running XP as my main os but if this one continues to behave itself and it gets decent driver supprt (Which it will do as it goes on) then i may change over. The ATI drivers seem to be working ok so far.

FarCry2 is looking nice in its dx10 glory. TF2 still runs well. Just gotta try out GTA4 and see if the 64bit version makes it play any better.

I was planning on sticking it on a virtualbox install but it wouldn't take... dodgy download can you believe it.

I'm sticking with XP and Vista on another partition.. cant be arsed moving things again and during the time I've used Vista I've only had the crap experience of L4d crashing on exit.

yes I can!

to save you redownloading; get a torrent, point it at the downloaded file, get torrent client to do a filecheck and you only have to pull the corrupted chunks

Thats where I got it from :). IT would just come up with a lame error during the install process so I walked away. It could be time to redownload it though :)

Every time I quit TF2 I get the message
HL2.exe has stopped working. What would you like to do?
To which I always quit program as I've finished using it. Annoying tho, and I don't see how I can stop it. Just some Vista conflict I guess

I'm glad I'm not alone then.... I still use Vista for Bioshock though I just haven't pick up the game since pre chrimbo.
