Yay! Another convert! Glad you got it sorted m8 Jabo

Or you could try the Vista drivers. My Win 7 install uses the Vista drivers for my Linksys WMP300N NIC and works perfectly. Jabo

Sounds about right Perf. Looking forward to seeing how you get on

"You want to run WHAT resolution?"

'S OK Rog,

While you're downloading that, I'd run chkdsk from the command prompt (Start-Run-cmd or Start-Programs-Accessories-Command Prompt) to verify the drive's in working order. Type in 'chkdsk d: /f' (no quotes) where d: is the letter of the drive you're trying to install Win7 on. There are a number of free HDD checking tools floating around on the web, I'll have a search through my collection to see if I've got one for your drive. A corrupt download would be my guess though.

Well spotted Andy, the Channel map is indeed on a reduced scale (about 0.5 I think).

> OK, m8, I think we're there as far as the disk is concerned - good luck with the install Jabo

'Fraid so m8 I'll be up for a while tonight having just banjaxed my game install again (I swear I don't do this for fun...). So I'm mid-Quazi at present and typing this on the laptop. I can make myself available via MSN Messenger or the like if you need assistance - drop me a PM Jabo

Don't think so m8, you don't unzip an iso in order to burn it onto a disk. ImgBurn takes the iso file and creates the disk file structure from that. I think this may be the reason for the problem you had. Jabo

That's the 64-bit version you have there m8, was that the one you wanted?

Opinionate away AJW, the more real ale drinkers there are here the better...Post count 1 and it's about alcohol - I sense a true dog(z) in the making. Welcome aboard m8. You going to come and fly with us as well? Jabo

Avenger - of course. It was the RAF roundels that threw me. It's been quite a while since I've seen one. There's one airworthy example in the UK, although I don't think it's been flown much in recent years.

Presumably you'll want that shaken not stirred Mr Bond?

Not as much as you might think. we all put 20 each into the pot, and all the drinks came out of that. And when we ran out of cash we all put another 20 each in. I think we refilled the pot three times in total so that's nearly 30 rounds. We did cane the beer a bit...To the point where when we got to the last round on Saturday nght, we were a few pounds short and the bar manager let us off 'cos we'd spent so much! Jabo

Orange? In an alcoholic drink that's not Pimms (at a push)? Oh dear. The thing is, you can't put fruit in proper ale. It'll dissolve. And a small umbrella? Why? Are the bar staff concerned it'll get wet? Jabo

Not yet Crash, I'm still waiting on the final proofs. 27000 stitches takes time

Surprising how that happens isn't it? I see machines daily which are pretty much fubar with 1,000s of virus and spyware instances, most of which is down to a lack of very basic common sense and an adequate anti-virus package. The conversation generally goes; "So, did you know that your anti-virus software was disabled?" "Yep, I did that because it kept giving me warning messages all the time while I was downloading music illegally from LimeWire" Duh. Jabo

LOL, nice one DM, but WTF is that in the background of the '79 pic? That folded wing looks HUGE.

Especially as the quizmaster didn't miss a beat... "Don't stay out here too long or you'll get all slitty eyed" Sheesh.

What he said...Furthermore, I can recommend Avira - it's spot on with Win 7. I've split one of my 500GB drives into three separate partitions, so XP, Fester and Win 7 have their own space and the MS Boot Manager has handled that without a hiccup. Linux is also floating about on a spare 160GB drive while I get to grips with Grub, so I can have a four-way boot option. I've retained XP purely for IL2 and one or two other games that Vista and Win 7 can't. Vista is a waste of time and I'll probably remove it at some point as I use Win 7 pretty much exclusively outside Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday

Not sure, but I think someone offered to get the round in?

OK, I suppose, but No. 3 is a little out of position. ISTR Knight was going to have a word with him about that...

"Don't fruit the beer". rofl

Another thing to bear in mind is that under no circumstances should you mix memory types within a channel - that approach leads rapidly to the way of the pear. Obtain your memory in twos (if your board is dual-channel), or threes (if it's triple channel) and you're less likely to have problems.
