Users Complain Abount Buggy Windows 7 SP1
The simple advice for Windows 7 users is to return the system to a restore point before the service pack was installed. The server OS cannot be fixed with this method and requires editing of the Windows Registry. Microsoft explicitly advises not to attempt to edit the pending.xml file to resolve the issue.
Windows 7 SP1 was released on February 22 and became available on March 8 via WSUS. For those who have not installed the SP1 yet, there are a few guidelines how to install the service pack.
I lawled.
Good! I hope it did. Ass. Quit pirating software because your too cheap to buy a legit version.
It just plain refused to install on my system. *pets computer*
Good computer.
I haven't noticed any difference at all
So far no issues but even if there are I can probably fix it somehow..
Am I the only one that finds the first sentence to be terrible in terms of syntax? This article screams for a proofread, just look at the title!
Come on Tom's, you're better than this.
As for Windows 7 bug I have 3 desktops and one laptop running it with no issues. I do have a tiny issue with my DVD Drive failing to burn DVDs, but I think that might be the drive itself although it did work fine before the update... Most likely unrelated though.
So, 3 out of your 5 "Windows 7 machines" are actually running Windows XP or Ubuntu? So, then they are NOT "Windows 7 machines" right? Or was your statemnet correct and you are just trying to show off that you have more than 5 computers at home?? :þ
Haven't you figured it out yet after all the "typos" in most of the articles on tomshardware lately? Proof reading and hiring editors is not a priority for toms anymore (perhaps the recession is to blame). I discovered tomshardware about 8 years ago and I can tell you it wasn't always like this.
In conclusion, Tom's used to be better than this.. times are changing..
seriously, people need to be taught to minimise risks and there are laods of programs out there that can help,
norton ghost and i cant remember the free oes
1tb hdd's cost less than £50 now so there is no excuse, it is so simple to install ghost then burn the bootable cd then use that and click on backup pc
then if pc breaks do the same but click on restore instead, some people just bring it on themselfs, its the same thing that would happen if they had a powercut during an update
Oh yeah i bought my windows 7 pro (retail) directly from microsoft and they now blocked my key because they said i installed it to many times. as far as im concerned i can install it as many times as i damm well please as long as it is not on more than one computer at a time but not according to microsoft so hell with them i am using the crack on all my computers now microsoft can kiss my ass i have never stole a thing from them but thats how they treat me. oh i for got they offered to sell my another license for a very fair and reasonable $150 bones. they can kiss my ass! so please do not jump to conclusions why people are bypassing the W-A-T!
this is one of those cases where the cracks help legit users
dosnt it say in there terms and condition that you buy a license for "1 computer" it dosnt say for example 3 installs of it
if this is the case mate, take them to court
if i had the money to get a lawyer i would sue the hell out of them for the sake of us honest guys! i was on the phone with microsoft and according to them the activation server decides who gets their keys blocked there is not a set number of times you can activate it is just up to the damm activation computer when it wants to pull the plug on my computer! so hell with them like i told the microsoft rep i am going to bypass the activation and keep using the software i paid for i told her she could tell the FBI the police and even her momma i dont care!
