I guess I've been lucky, every program I've used so far that I can think of just worked straight up.
Foobar2000, iTunes, WLM, Steam, Xonar Control Panel, blu, 7-Zip, XFire, haven't had a problem with any of those.

So far, the only program that I've had to mess with or get a non-standard version for is Matlab. And that's really it. I've got no idea about what you've been having troubles with..

Just did a System restore, it was unsuccessful and now all the other System restore points are now magically gone.

Although it says it was unsuccessful, some things have been restored
Those are some serious bugs right there. :refilao:

Not only that, but the welcome screen has been appearing each time the computer starts up for the past week, even though I have no password on my account or have any other accounts

<<== solved. There was an automatically installed ASP.net account which I've deleted. Stupid .NET framework.

Does Java work on Win7? I been trying to get Openoffice java applets to work like the link to put dates in the document.

ANother problem is malwarebytes keeps hitting the firewall on startup and i have to manually give it permission to run.

I like Win7 it seems to operate faster and easier to handle.

For those who downloaded Win7 from the itsnotcheating website; how many Gb's was the file?

I'm looking to buy it at the student discount, however when I go to cart it added a physical copy of the upgrade as well for $14.00, is this worth getting? I'm asking this because I remember reading somewhere (many pages back) that someone made a bootable DVD version of windows 7.

No probs. Let me know if that method works for you.

I just finished the download from the itsnotcheating website, and I want to install it on my second HDD, but I really should wait till after my uni exams. As tempting as it is to install it now, I really don't want to spend 3 or 4 hours getting everything organised and having d/l drivers and whatnot. /sigh
