Re: Issue Making Changes To Windows 7 Before Using Hoster

Thanks Dale and Roy. I will play with it tomorrow again when I have the Windows 7 machine up. I am on the office PC now. It was difficult navigating to many of the settings. On second look at the list, I also had an issue with the System Restore enabling...there was no option on my machine to create a restore point...so I assumed that system restore was already enabled, and moved ahead without actually creating one...could not navigate to a place that allowed me to.

The virtual memory dialog was difficult as well...things did not appear exactly as described in 7. I am running 4gb of memory, so I did set the recommended size to whatever was showing, and the maximum size to 8000. Just a little guess work involved and some creative navigation.

Change #4 was difficult to navigate as I described originally, and there was NO hibernation tab. I could not find anywhere to disable hibernation. Eventually I found Windows 7 power options and that offered a sliding bar setting which I pulled to the bottom to disable shutdown/hibernation.

Change 6 I discussed, but keeping in mind that the screen with all the settings we are all used to could not be found, I think the hardest part was finding the setting for 16 or 32 bit color. I had to really hunt for that.

I definitely have to look into the Aero Theme issue...I want to resolve that for sure. I should have some face time with the new computer tomorrow, Tuesday for sure.

Thanks Guys!
