In fact, this build of Win 7 is far more usable and reponsive than Vista ever will be, lol, and thats coming from beta sofware! :cc_surrender:

Did activation go without a hitch mo?

Cool buddy! :cc_surrender:

I followed this guide for removing watermark, its for Vista, but works great in Win 7. Just do up to step 8, as that's really all you need to do to remove the watermark. I also left the Safe Mode watermark present, as in part 8.

Does Windows 7 make use/see of all your RAM?

:blink: I'm thinkin that as with previous 32 bit os, only 3.25 (I think that's the rite number?) can be mapped and used by the system :cc_surrender:....and as usual I think Rik's brain has been out in the cold way too long.... :RJsPC:

The 32bit version saw all 4G that I have- I did not check to see if it was actually using it all. I am right now on 64 bit 7.

So far I haven't had any problems with the 64bit version.

system properties window will display that. it's when you check task manager...

i'm wondering if my issues w/ the x64 version stem from my hardware. have you tried burning anything while in x64 7? i also may have bungled my x64 iso/install (late night/quick burn/install).

OK- can't get skype to work-
It seems to install fine but when I log in it just disappears.

Anyone have a solution?
I hate going thru forums and waiting for answers-
I want my SKYPE!!

Guess I'll go back on Vista or XP..
