    Well at least is doesn't exit your full screen video, or game because you changed the volume/brightness/keyboard backlit/ambient light sensor. That was a REALLY annoying bug.

    Server is busy, try later or the next day.


    Dell OS disk is pre-activated (and locked down to Dell systems).
    You can try to call Dell, and complain that your laptop is broken because you have 4 GB of RAM and you only see 3.x GB, and if they mention Windows 7 64-bit, then push them to send you the disk. This seams to have work for some people here... I don't see any particularly illegal here, as you still run 1 Windows 7, on the same product key.

    I dont want W7
    its the shi**est thing ive ever seen
    but i have a w7 cd and its 32bit, also has a different key than the laptop sticker
    how can i use one of these or exchange it for a x64 one?
    And i cant call dell, i cant call overseas
    Id go to my representatives of dell, already fixed a screen problem for me, they are honest people, but only after i see i cant activate it anyway.

    What bugs you on Win7? It's selling like hot cakes, work perfectly, and fast on even very slow systems. So something bugs you on it, and I want to see what annoys you.. I might know a tweak to help you out.
    Feel free to PM me. I recall mentioning your problems once, but I forgot what it was and can't find it.

    first thing i saw when i opened it was the preview windows on the taskbar when you slide your mouse over it
    than when you press the right button opens a stupid window
    i forgot other problems as this stupidity disgusted me and i ended it

    i cant explain it properly
    i cant bear it

    well if you remember the solution let me know

    Windows 7 is highly customisable (there is a function called "Godmode" which brings all the settings together). It is definitely worth trying. After a few days you won't think of going back to an older version of Windows.
