Just installed it onto my laptop. Looking good so far. Definitely quicker than vista and xp.

Next time I do any upgrade I'll move to windows 7.

Which version do you install was it Build 7100 or 7127? Also was it the x86 or x64 version?

Chris · 26-05-2009

x86 but not sure what build. I downloaded it today off the MS site though - so whichever one is on there. Its gone onto my spare 17" Asus A7J, 1.83 Dual Core, 1gb ram and going nicely.

Chrissy Poo · 26-05-2009

If its from the MS site I think it will be the 7100 build

Glad its running good for you too!

Chris · 26-05-2009

Just to confirm it is build 7100. Have only had one BOD so far but I was trying to force an old driver on it.

Chrissy Poo · 26-05-2009

What hardware was the driver for and what OS was it designed for. Also have you found a correct driver?

Chris · 26-05-2009

It was a driver for the built in webcam. Could only find a x86 vista version but didnt work. All the other drivers I have installed have also been for Vista but worked fine. Only a minor thing - can live without it

Sounds stupid but did windows update not find it? My brother has a dell laptop with a built in webcam and windows update found it straight away.

Also what computer is it or what is the webcam make/model?

I dont understand why MS are still offering build 7100 when we are onto 7127 so far.....and 7127 is much more stable and much faster than 7100.........weird.
