CD drive problems in Windows 7 [modified]Have you tried rollback drivers? I found that my network card stopped working after Windows7 did a driver upgrade, turned out the new drivers didn't work properly in Windows 7. If you've re-installed the drivers and don't have the rollback option try searching the vendor's website for an old version of the drivers, then tell windows update to ignore the driver update for it the next time it shows up.

Windows 7 and RAMI've gone from 8Gb (DDR2) down to 6Gb (DDR3). As I changed quite a few components, I can't say how much difference I felt it make, but using Resource Monitor I found that I rarely used all 8Gb, but I frequently used above 4 or 6Gb (including 'standby memory', which I'm lead to believe improves performance/responsiveness). Based on that I would say that 8Gb should make a small difference, though how noticeable I can't say. Currently using 3gb (plud 2Gb standby) with the following programs: SQL Server 2008 VS 2008 Outlook iTunes Firefox MSE

Windows 7 x64What exactly are you trying to run? I haven't had any problems with running 32bit programs on my x64 Windows 7, and I don't know how any IIS settings could help anyway. Which version of Windows are you running? I believe the full version of IIS is only available with the top editions (Ultimate and Business I think in Windows 7) How are you trying to install it? You need to go to Control Panel> Programs> Turn Windows Features on or off. In the list, IIS will probably be semi-checked (with a sort of blue fill). You will need to expand this and manually select more of the sub features, I'm not sure exactly which ones, common sense should get you there. Once you have the correct sub features selected it should show up in Admin Tools. you can also check that it is running by going to http://localhost/[^] In your browser Hope that helps

a vote about working efficiencyI'm a student, and I always find that I never learn much in classes before lunch; I'm simply not awake enough. Between about 11pm and 3am is when I find I work best, it's nice and quiet so there are no distractions, I'll often do the days work plus a bit extra in this period.

Huh... that's odd...I did this for months after I started teaching myself visual basic, I would compare boolean object properties to TRUE.
If (checkbox1.checked = true) then
Needless to say how stupid I felt when I realised what I was doing :|

Can anyone recommend a PC game? [modified]For a cheap, realistic online FPS, I'd have to recomend Counter-Strike. I think through steam it's now about $10/ £5, and you get the condition zero mod, which allows you to play offline against bots. www.steampowered.com

Stupid PC tricksI did a similar thing to a member of my family. Before taking the screenshot however, I added several incriminating folders to the desktop, such as a 'porn' folder. After setting the desktop background, I removed the actual icons, so the folders were left apparently unselectable and hence undeletable! He saw the funny sie of it thankfully :)

Programaticaly change IE settings/ optionsIs it possible in VB.NET to change the active scripting settings between enabled and disabled? (Tools>Options>security>custom level is where it can be found manualy) If not, can the internet settings window be opened (without opening internet explorer)? Thanks
