The refurbed HP ........ If HP opened up the laptop to replace something inside, they probably failed to re-connect the speaker wires. Download the appropiate manual from HP, follow the procedure for taking the lid off to expose the guts and check the speaker connection. [e digicons]:)[/e]

Reply to Windows 7 drivers for laptop? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Windows 7 x64 .... I have a USB-Serial adaptor (PL-2303 chip) that I use to run my 3D CAD spaceball. The only way I can get it operational is to use the F8 " Disable driver signature enforcement" option. I've searched far and wide with no luck finding signed Vista 64bit drivers for the PL-2303 adaptor. Unfortunely, I'm sure the option to run unsigned drivers will disappear in the Win 7 final release.

Does anyone have MS Money 2007 working? I get an error trying to install (something about shared libraries). I'm running released beta 7000, x64. I've turned off Kaspersky, run as admin, and Vista compatible with no luck.

Reply to Gloss Burgundy Weather won't load, other weather gadgets work fine in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

I'm running Vista64. The 64 bit bat file doesn't work .... this bat file registers stardockweather.ocx in the programs files(x86)\common files\stardock folder. (which already exists and allows my other weather gadgets to run). The only way Burgundy will run is if the stardockweather.ocx is registered in the program files\common files\stardock folder.

Reply to Gloss Burgundy Weather won't load, other weather gadgets work fine in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

Regarding the Weather problem ... Seems odd that the Burgundy Theme points to the Program Files\Common Files\Stardock directory for the stardockweather.ocx file. The two other Themes I use (Think Green and OSU) point to the Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Stardock directory.

Install_Weather.Bat file worked for me (must re-boot). Autorun (checked) works too. I realize this fix is for the Weather gadget, but is anyone working on the problem with the clock? Clock gadget second hand doesn't move unless you mouse-over, then it may jump ahead 2-5 sec ... mouse-off, stops again.
