Just installed this on my laptop, everything is working fine, I'm really enjoying it. I do have one problem that hopefully someone can help me with--it's not recognizing my touchpad as a touchpad, but instead as a PS/2 mouse. It still works fine for the most part, except that I can't scroll in the pad like I used to be able to. For reference I'm on a Dell Inspiron 6400, 2 years old. Any clues/Drivers I should download? I upgraded from Vista Ultimate Edit: Wasn't using my head tonight, I guess. Downloaded the driver from Dell and it works fine. I do have a general question though. I have all this stuff in my Windows.old folder, but I don't think I want it in there. I got all the stuff I wanted to (music, documents, etc.), but there's a lot still in the Windows.old files. Is there any reason to keep that stuff around? It seems like it's just going to be eating up space on my hard drive. Chemical Shift fucked around with this message at 09:08 on May 19, 2009 |

Sounder posted:I'm pretty sure that's just a dump of all the old files on your system. If you're sure there's nothing else in there you need to salvage you can delete it. Just a follow up question- is it safe to delete the old files in the Windows folder? I doubt the new windows is using the old files in any way, and it's using up way too much space on the harddrive to warrant keeping it. Just to be clear, I'm talking about the files in the Windows folder in the Windows.old folder.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a laptop on which I installed the RC on, upgrading from Vista Ultimate. No problems so far, I've been enjoying it. My parents had my cousin install Windows 7 Build 7057 on their computer a while back. I figured since I was home for break and the RC was out, I'd install that for them since it's bound to be a little bit more stable, plus it can be activated (they didn't have a key for the other one). I booted from the disk that I used for my laptop and installed the RC. After I booted in and connected to Windows Update and downloaded the updates, and restarted to apply them, it refuses to move past the "Starting Windows" page. Now I can't boot into the OS at all. Any clues as to what to do? It offers to bring up the recovery console and uses the restore point created before I installed the updates. Once I revert to that, it's able to boot in but if the updates are applied then it refuses again. My question is: is it just the updates, or is there something wrong with the installation? Is there a way I could reformat and reinstall the RC now, or is that not even necessary? Thanks for any help.
