Ain't Win 7 wonderful?
Problems that i need help in solving:
1) Installed without any whimper, plays its "music" when booting. Speaker icon has an "X", updated driver, no joy. Click on "X" and get "one or more Audio Services is not running". BUT. According to the Computer Services list, there is NOTHING even remotely like that!! Nice BS. 2) Initially, could find a driver for: Multimedia Video Controller: PCI bus 1,device 6, Function 0. It is a video capture card, and it works (!). Tried installing an outdated driver (!! accepted!!), and the Device Manager is happy now or that. 3) In selecting the folder Documents & Settings, i get Access Denied. How in the hell do i fix that? Better yet, fix that problem for ALL other folders and files that may have the same "restriction" in one step (not each one individually as i may or may not find them)? OH. While i leave that message box open, i see a green bar slowly advancing..What the heck is that?? 4) Access Denied also found at ..\Program Data\Documents, ..\Program Data\Desktop, and other (but not all) sub-folders. Again how can i fix? I hate Win7 in that it is so tight and secretive. But newer programs "demand" it. |

Among others. On the plus side, the advantage to using an operating system that millions of others use: it doesn't matter what kind of ****ed up problem you're having, someone's had it before, and most even fixed it. In my day, I've done a number of registry hacks with relative confidence...and a fair backing of support articles. JFGI. Tim -- Deep Friar: a very philosophical monk.

If you let windows 7 install and reformat/repartition the hard drive, you get a hidden partition at the beginning. Win7 uses it for some stuff that I never need. I think it also played an incidental role in copy protection. And it played havoc with older programs that did image backups and older disk analysis programs, cuz they weren't able to properly map the physical partitions to the logical ones. That may be cured by more recent versions. My solution was to eliminate it. If you use a different program, like Gparted run from a live linux CD, you cans set up your NTFS partitions. Tell win7 installer to use the existing partitions and you'll get an installation without that hidden partition. Life got simpler after that. AFAIK, the only thing I lost was the feature that lets you automagically mount encrypted thumb drives. Never wanted that anyway. |

I got that "What can I do if........." box when I installed 7 - it was for a Dell all in one from Freecycle, the previous owner said there were no drivers for it on Win7. I clicked that "What can I do if........." - IIRC it took me to a dialogue box with an option to "install with optimal defaults" - I've been using the Dell all for one ever since. You do have to make at least one pass of attempting to install the product's drivers, and it sometimes takes a bit of trial & error to provoke the What can......... box to appear when you want it. A bit of perseverance usually pays off. |

Tell win7 installer to use the existing partitions and you'll get an installation without that hidden partition. Life got simpler after that. AFAIK, the only thing I lost was the feature that lets you automagically mount encrypted thumb drives. Never wanted that anyway. I installed Win7 from scratch on an empty drive and did no reformatting / repartitioning. Yes,i saw the 100Mb "system" _partition_ first; a waste of partitions (just like Linux). So, i should start over and make a HD with only partitions i want? |

It's confusing to some older programs that depend on a different mapping between physical and logical partitions. There seems to be no way to have win7 partition without that extra thing at the start. Have to use some other partitioning system. Bootable live GPARTED CD works. |

Now it all works and I only have the one icon. |

Install W7 and then trash the the unwanted partition. At this point you can use it as a container for many secondary partitions. Linux. I don't understand your comment about Linux wasting partitions ! At one point in time I had three Linux installations and one DOS (M$6.22) on a single HDD, a total of 9 partitions. -- Best Regards: Baron. |

I got tired fighting Win7 as the problems mounted up..installing obsolete drivers and having it both accept them and reject them; Device Manager show them (and most work) &&&& having to do this a number of times before it works. Despite drivers for sound being "accepted" in the same way, NO sound and error message that audio service is not enabled..and NO SUCH "service" available. Wiped the damn drive. |

Capture device drivers have always been problematic. So, after you wiped the drive, what did you install that solved the capture driver problem for obsolete hardware? |

Better yet, fix that problem for ALL other folders and files that may have the same "restriction" in one step (not each one individually as i may or may not find them)? There is no 'problem' to 'fix' and if you didn't have show hidden system folders turned on you would never see them. But, since you apparently do, you are seeing things for OS use that are not 'user usable'. Btw, for those claiming Vista is somehow 'better', it has those same hidden links so your 'problem' wouldn't be any different. Starting with Vista (continued in 7 and 8) the things XP kept in the "\Documents and Settings" folder (plus other things) are now located under "\Users." What you're seeing are (normally hidden) NTFS 'junction points' (introduced in Windows 2000) that are there for backward compatibility with older programs so if they try to access something in the old folder it will be automatically redirected to the correct folder. But there's nothing for a user to see or do with them. * Don't you mean \All Users in Documents and Settings? \Documents and Settings redirects to \Users, which is where 'your stuff' is now located under your username (just as it was under your username in the Documents and Settings folder), so your documents are in \Users\username\Documents (which is 'displayed' as My Documents). OH. While i leave that message box open, i see a green bar slowly advancing..What the heck is that?? The 'green bar' is an animated 'progress' indicator, so you know the program is 'alive' and not 'locked up', and means it's waiting for whatever action was initiated to 'complete' (or time out). In that instance it's waiting for you to hit the 'ok' button, which constitutes 'completion' (of the unauthorized attempt), so it knows you 'got the message'. * Do not remember an "OK" button, but will take your word for it. 4) Access Denied also found at ..\Program Data\Documents, ..\Program Data\Desktop, and other (but not all) sub-folders. Again how can i fix? Same as above, there's nothing to 'fix'. Those are just more junction points and you apparently have yet to discover others, like "My Music," "My Documents," and "My Videos" in the Users/username/Documents folder. (In 7 they've been relocated to directly under the username rather than a sub of Documents). \Program Data\Documents points to \Users\Public\Documents and \Program Data\Desktop points to \Users\Public\Desktop http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr.../bb756982.aspx The things is, you should be familiarizing yourself with, and using, the current folder locations and forget about the hidden links. I hate Win7 in that it is so tight and secretive. But newer programs "demand" it. It has nothing to do with being 'secretive'. Those 'folders' don't exist, as such, and are simply pointers for the O.S. to use when redirecting what an 'old program' does. |

I'm not sure "remotely like" what you were looking for but the Windows audio service is named "Windows Audio." * NOT found. Where did you look? In services under Administrative Tools or in the services tab in Task Manager? * in something like computer management services,where all of the services are supposed to be listed and one can set disable, automatic or manual. been too long. got so ****ed i wiped the drive. "Windows Audio" is the name in services under Administrative Tools. In Task Manager, the services tab, it shows as audiosrv (with "Windows Audio" as the description). * like i said, "nope". For Windows Audio to operate properly Windows Audio Endpoint Builder must also be running. And Windows Audio Endpoint Builder depends on the Power service. The symptom you describe, however, is usually a driver problem. (The full panoply of 'audio services' does not necessarily need to be operative in order for Windows to play it's 'sounds'). * Well i am sure it is a driver problem because the driver was for Win2K and XP did not exist then (i think). * It accepts the driver, which was not designed for Win7, Device Manager is happy, but NO GO. Which OS was it designed for? When using Windows 7 drivers a device showing 'no errors' in Device Manager is usually a fairly good indicator, but with a non Windows 7 driver it does not necessarily mean that everything else in the OS is 'happy' with it because, despite linking up with the hardware, there may be a 'missing hook' one of more services expect to be there. What is Windows 7 installed on and what is the audio hardware? * ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus motherboard; Realtek firmware. 2) Initially, could find a driver for: Multimedia Video Controller: PCI bus 1,device 6, Function 0. It is a video capture card, and it works (!).

But there's nothing for a user to see or do with them. * Don't you mean \All Users in Documents and Settings? No. At this point I hadn't mentioned anything 'in' Documents and Settings. * well, then there is no \USERS folder in Win2K. In Windows XP, Documents and Settings is the root folder where each user, including "All Users" is located, as well as "Default User," "LocalService," and "NetworkService,' etc. In Windows 7 the root folder is \Users... under which you will find your username, "All Users," "Public," and "Default." (there is also a Default Users junction link redirecting to plain ole Default for programs still referencing 'Default Users') LocalService and NetworkService were moved to \Windows\ServiceProfiles because they are services rather than a 'user', per see. \Documents and Settings redirects to \Users, which is where 'your stuff' is now located under your username (just as it was under your username in the Documents and Settings folder), so your documents are in \Users\username\Documents (which is 'displayed' as My Documents).
