OK
This may sound stupid.
I accidently disabled the ethernet card on Win 7, (you know, right clicking the LAN icon ->Disable)
Now, I'm not able to find the enable option anywhere. :|
How do I go about? Googling hasnt helped since my drivers are in order.

Try to see the properties of the ethernet card in Device Manager and see if it is disabled. If not, you can delete the ethernet card from the Device Manager and refresh... The ethernet card will be redetected and be enabled by default...

All my DivX, Mobile Phone's videos were playing fine but I just installed Vista codac pack in Compatibility mode & now decoding using FFDShow. You don't need it, so don't install it as long as u don't

Either try Windows update or install BlueSoleil 5 in Vista Compatibility Mode.

have you guys noticed that Full screen Windows now have aero enabled.

IE 8's tabs are shown individually in superbar, but firefox's does not. It needs an API support in firefox to do so, waiting for an update.

Its not the problem with new Firefox updates.

BOOT with Win7 DVD and choose Repair my computer it will fix the problem
alternatively you can use the easyBCD software to add the line.

Guys,
I have Fedora 10 & Ubuntu 9.04 installed on my PC. I would like to install Windows 7.
First I had installed Fedora then Ubuntu & now will be installing Windows. After the install will GRUB be able to detect & boot into all the three OS's?

I fear after installing Windows 7 the other two linux distros won't boot.

^^it usually happens to me too. For this purpose I usually installs Windows first before installing any linux flavors, or sometimes keeps a second hard disk for linux only(connects it only when I need linux)...but now uses my old PC for linux, my present system is only for Window 7 and other entertainment purposes. :)

What exactly is the problem? are you using lan connector rj45? check wether the netwrk card is detected or not in device manager? .. try the windows update! have you installed any pre-beta driver yes then remove it?

install the windows 7 .. then use some software to enable the linux option at boot. like <easyBCD> or Vistabootloader.
there is a software gnugrub or something that also do that but i dont use linux.. check at ubuntu-wiki- howto page.
best is use easybcd - freeware very good,

Install GAG as outlined here *thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96132#23

Download hdhacker and select MBR in that and back up your MBR. It will back it up as a dat file, AND DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU SAVED IT ! If you are unsure, write it to a cd or pendrive too, along with hdhacker.zip

Install Windows 7, noting the partition position (is it the first, second, ... partition).

After the install is over, run hdhacker and browse to the DAT file you saved and restore the MBR. Remember to select MBR in hdhacker before you restore the write the sector.

Now add the new OS as outlined in the GAG tutorial above.

This procedure may be used even for GRUB, except that you'll have to edit the grub bootloader, which requires a little more expertise and patience than GAG.

Check with a simple wav file. If it plays download and install Klite Mega Codec Pack.
