[/quote1232047795]You should run Fraps and see how many FPS you can get out of it! lol
Looks like Britman got himself a $500 deck of cards. 😛

Of course not…I mean you can’t play with regular cards because then you can’t resist cheating lol. :p

MemberI’m often playing Spider Solitaire on my NC10, though usually through Solsuite rather than the built-in game.
That said, I like the version that came with Vista and they’ve kept it for Win7 so I haven’t installed Solsuite on it.

MemberHaving issues installing windows 7 beta on my nc10. I extracted the ISO to an external drive and started the installer within XP. It copies the files then starts unpacking them, gets to about 30% and restarts.
When it tries to boot I get the blue screen of death. I extracted to the desktop and got the same issue.
Is my ISO broken and I should re-download?

Also – I seem to loose sound when resuming from Stand-by – all the controls seem to work – but no sound comes out. Any ideas anyone??
[/quote1232285752]I’m finding that I lose sound and display control (sometimes) on resume. If that was cleared up it would be perfect … I’ve started reading the thread so pardon me if this has been answered already – hope there’s a fix.

[/quote1232285662]Had the same problem! I made my usb drive a bootable drive, if you have followed the guides then restart your laptop and keep pressing f9 and it should then boot from the usb and install fine without going back into xp.
Just need to figure out how to make my D drive accessible again and reinstall drivers….

MemberI put Win7 on my “D” partition and can’t access the original “C” partition when running it. To me, Win7 is nothing but trouble so I’ve basically quit using it. It’s ok but to me it’s not worth bothering with until it’s finished.

[/quote1232292326]If you are dual-booting, it’s designed that way on purpose. Allowing two separate OS’s to each access the other’s system drive would be a disaster. So Win7 is not broken, it’s just protecting you.

[/quote1232299478]I installed mine straight onto my C drive and now cant access my D drive (purely data).
Any tips from anyone on how to get it back? Tried Disk Management but with no luck… it shows up in disk management but cant assign a letter to the drive?

Thanks for explaining that. I had no idea. Problem is, all my “stuff” is on that partition so I can’t really use Win7 for day to day tasks, except surfing.January 18, 2009 at 9:15 pm #176101joeplease

Hi mate – if you fire up disk management (from computer management – right click on computer and do manage) you can assign the xp partition a drive letter from there. ( I used d: )
