With Windows Vista I had to install the Admin Pack for Windows Server and then run a cmd file to register a load of DLL’s I tried this fix with Windows 7 but it didn’t work. I then found out that there was a tool created for Windows 7 Beta called Remote Server Admin Tools (RSAT) for Windows 7 Beta, so I downloaded this and installed x86: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/D/4/AD4D3903-E06D-456D-AED4-D53895D2C1A9/Windows6.1-KB958830-x86.msu x64: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/D/4/AD4D3903-E06D-456D-AED4-D53895D2C1A9/Windows6.1-KB958830-x64.msu After the install I went into my Administrative Tools menu but I could not see anything.

Last week saw the release of Windows 7 RC to TechNet and MSDN subscribers and today sees the release of Windows 7 to the public: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx After taking for what seemed ages to download last week I eventually got Windows 7 RC installed into my Dell Latitude D630 Laptop.

I had a couple of issues activating my Office Products, but these eventually got activated over the weekend, maybe there was an abundance of activations due to...

I was watching a couple of videos this lunch time that were on the BBC website about Windows 7 and one other them was highlighting the new Windows Live Essentials.  The Windows Live Essentials contains Windows Messenger, Windows Mail and the Live Photo Gallery. What they also announced what that Windows Live had partnered with facebook so that your statuses and photos on facebook could then be shared with your contacts within your MSN network. I have yet to try this out fully but it let me sign in to facebook from within Live Messenger and gave...

I have been running my laptop with Windows 7 now since its release in January, and I have to say I have had little problem with it less problems that I had with Windows Vista! it is far more stable than Vista and for a beta that is saying something. there are several features that I really like about it, however the one gripe that I have at the moment is that when it comes to syncing my iPod Touch with photos iTunes seems to hang. I am not too sure why but I am guessing it has something...

I decided to install Windows 7 on my Laptop as I thought having it on a PC is great but as it is on the desk behind me I cannot really use it that often, and if I really want to see what Windows 7 has to offer then prob best to put it on a PC/Laptop that I use on a frequent basis. So I installed everything I usually do on a clean PC and then threw the Google Pack on there, well tried to! but it would not let me as the Google Pack requires Windows XP...
