Pixel Perfect Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 All of 12 minutes for me. I answered one question and I seem to recollect it rebooted itself several times. Easiest and fastest installation I ever did. Plus it comes with its own disk imaging now (see backup) so once you have it all setup and your critical apps installed burn an image of the boot drive to a spare drive for a quick recovery. Most people recommend you do a clean installation though rather than upgrade from Vista etc. Quote Intel Core i5 2.66 GHz, Asus P7P55D, 8Gb DDR3 RAM, GTX460 1Gb DDR5, Windows 7 (x64), LE Editor, GMax, 3DWS, UU3D Pro, Texture Maker Pro, Shader Map Pro.

Volker Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Be ready for buggy, and turn of the stupid UAC No need for that. Just install all programms to c:\ Run them alway as admin. Run them always in xp compatibility mode. Then UAC is fine; so far.

VicToMeyeZR Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah, not for me. I get locked out of folders ALL the time, even though I am the admin on my computer..

AggrorJorn Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I don't have a windows 7 update, but the full installation was pretty quick. Within an hour I was able to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassius Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Are you saying there are issues running programs with win 7? I don't understand some of the above threads.

Canardia Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 If you want all programs to work, you need multiple OS and multiple hardware also. I need the following OS, programs and hardware: - XP to run Lotus Quickr, VNC server and OpenGL programs at maximum speed - Win 7 to run Flight Simulator X in DirectX 10 mode, and 64-bit programs which need more than 4GB memory, and DirectX 11 capable games (which don't support OpenGL 2.1 or higher) - Vista to run some device drivers which don't work on XP or Win 7 - Debian to run a Video Editing program (haven't found any free video editing programs for Windows) - PS3 to watch BluRay movies (my PC doesn't have a BluRay drive) - IBM System p to run AIX 6.1 (I need to test OpenGL cross-platform compatiblity in C++) - Win 2003 to run Lotus Domino Server (works better on Debian, but some servers need Windows because of 3rd party apps) - Symbian or Maemo to run OpenGL ES programs Quote ■ Ryzen 9 ■ RX 6800M ■ 16GB ■ XF8 ■ Windows 11 ■ ■ Ultra ■ LE 2.5 ■ 3DWS 5.6 ■ Reaper ■ C/C++ ■ C# ■ Fortran 2008 ■ Story ■ ■ Homepage: https://canardia.com ■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixel Perfect Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have had no issues with Windows 7 what so ever. If you don't like UAC then turn it off, just don't blame Microsoft if some hacker's process then runs riot on your PC with full privileges Microsoft are damned if they do and damned if they don't. It makes me laugh. The only reason it is continuously under attack by viruses and trojans etc is because it is the most popular OS in the world and hence the biggest target for the sad assed geeks that write this **** when they could be doing something wonderful with that talent!

cassius Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Not sure what UAC is but I assume its some kind of protection that can sometimes stop progs from running.

(which fails so far) Pretty much everything runs just fine for me, since I turned off UAC, and I don't ever install anything in the Programs File directory. I just have to reboot at least 3 times a week, but thats a norm for windows anyways Quote AMD Phenom II x6 1100T - 16GB RAM - ATI 5870 HD - OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
