simonlang Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 the first 2 times i rebootet and kept windows of explorer, internet-explorer and mspaint open, windows 7 restored all those after reboot. which surprised me and i liked this a lot, thought it was a new feature.now it doesnt do that anymore. i googled and found out that already under windows xp there was an option to let explorer restore all previously opened windows after reboot, however i cant find this option under win7. ideas? anyone?

Mine at 1.0gig most of the time and i have 2gb. If you run a full screen apps and the os need ram, it will flush what it can. I think the most it can take is 1.5gig if you have a lot of ram..

»X« Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This is the first thing I do with any install .. have been since Vista days!Type 'secpol.msc' in search bar .. return .. got to 'Local Policies' > 'Security Options' and enable the 'Administrator' account from here is another way to do it. Did this yesterday. However, is there a quick way of making this new admin account exactly like my original? As in, taskbar settings, programmes in the start menu, my docs and my music locations (mines on an another HD) etc. Logging into my admin account is like a brand new install :( Also, can I then remove my old account, or make the admin one login by default?

rikfrombelgium Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Had to reinstall outlook after installing windows 7 and it won't take over my calendars from my iphone, anybody know a solution? Ot does give open reminders during the sync-progress though, although the appointments do not appear in my calendar in outlook, but only during sync.

Well, I've never tried it, but how about the Easy Transfer Wizard? It's in Accessories > System Tools .. it looks as if you can transfer all your files/settings etc to a USB stick, then I assume log back in with your new account and then read them all back .. Try it out .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dc'1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I noticed that there is the option to run programs in compatibility mode for Vista SP2, then again I just updated from 7000 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get hysterical response when I tell people I do this, about how much risk i am putting my computer. I don't see any risk at all, except that you don't have UAC asking you to second-guess everything you do, which might be useful for total newbies or my parents, but who else? Is there something else I'm missing about the risk in running in Administrator account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregrocker Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Did this yesterday. However, is there a quick way of making this new admin account exactly like my original? As in, taskbar settings, programmes in the start menu, my docs and my music locations (mines on an another HD) etc. Logging into my admin account is like a brand new install :( Also, can I then remove my old account, or make the admin one login by default? After you enable administrator account, use explorer to drag your files over from user named account to Administrator. I suppose you could drag your AppData (hidden) files to get settings, but I personally never copy settings because then you are bringing any wrong settings and other corruption along with you - better to just start from fresh. Anyway, once you get your files all over from User to Administrator, then go to User Accounts as Administrator and select Manage Another Account and delete your named user account. It will ask you if you want to delete user files, which you can do if you are sure you got everything. If not, it will put them in a folder on your desktop where you can poke around in them til you are sure you got everything. Don't forget to export your favorites from your browser to your documents while you are in your named User Account, then copy them over to Admin with the rest. I always forget that and end up with old bookmarks file. Edited March 16, 2009 by gregrocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»X« Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 ^ Before I copied all my files, I decided to see if the admin account actually fixed the issue. I opened KMplayer and played a movie. I took 6 screenshots of it which were saved to desktop. At number 5 it came up with the same permissions dialog as I posted previously. So even having an admin account makes no difference. This never happened in vista, its just an annoying problem I cant seem to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wguimb Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I am getting this in the Event Log for build 7057. Event 7045 Service Control Manager A service was installed in the system. Service Name: INSTB32 Service File Name: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\INSTB32.SYS Service Type: kernel mode driver Service Start Type: demand start Service Account: It started logging Saturday 3/14/2009 and re-occurs at random times. I have searched the internet but no real information is conclusive. The above file does not exist on my system. Avira and Defender did not detect it as harmful, if it ever was there. The only thing I installed just prior to when the error started was the new Adobe Reader v9.1. FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowl Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 lets just hope micro$oft straighten these issues out soon, we don't need another vista fiasco. :o Except, that this is only an internal build not for public... and will have probably been fixed internally. On a side note, have they fixed the bug that when you go into sleep, go out of it, you cannot access the internet? Thanks, David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are some kind of bug but never hold me back from doing what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
