Drivers 64bit for WMP54GR

I have been searching around the web, and cannot find any 64 bit drivers for my wireless card.
However i went over to the RALINK site, and there are vista 64 bit drivers for linksys cards.
Anyone know if there are any 64 bit drivers for a WMP54GR ? Im trying to install windows 7 64bit. Any of the ralink drivers work for this card.

It seems that WMP54GR adapter has no 64bit driver for Windows 7 yet, so that means it can't work with Windows 7.

Sun Open Office Issue

When I try to install Sun Open Office 3 in my computer running Windows 7 RC build 7100 64 bit,after restart the computer freezes.Anyone has the same problem?Do it work for you?

I have open office installed and running just fine on win 7 RC1 7100 32bit version. It works fine

I hear 32-bit only, as I could install but not run in 64-bit windows 7,the same build. So the problem is either me, or my ME mark VII box.

I'll tackle it later when I have another spare hard drive to test.

Ethernet Connection Drop issue

I am having trouble when it's actually ethernet cable...my card is realtec RTL8139\810x,i'm connected via university using telnet.the internet is falling every 5-20 minutes...
My connection drops on average about 15mins, with torrent, skype, and msn running. it's really annoying to have to troubleshoot every 15-20mins!!.. anyone found a solution to this??

What ethernet card you have, what router model, firmware and the rest of the obvious network information and anything else pertinent about this issue, the more detail the better

mod may want to merge this thread with about 2 others, just from today alone, and probably a few more could be found just from the past week. Am wondering if this is really a big issue or is it all user/system/network specific.

Ableton Live Works fine

Ableton Live is music/DJ production use for Mac OS and Windows. .I'm not sure how many people use this software.
I have fully tested it in windown 7.It works fine.With my midi USB controller, I mixed a full set in it
Every day I use it, and now i find it to be more stable then in vista.

I had install Kaspersky in Windows 7 beta.It works fine.But when i install the latest Windows Security Update,it is blue screen of death after reboot.The error codes mean that kl1.sys file is lost(a failure on kl1.sys).
The problem is most likely that Kaspersky Anti-Virus software components caused.
At present, there is a simple solution.It's to cannal the system to start with Kaspersky.
  1. Reboot your computer and preess "F8" to Safe Mode menu.Selete Safe Mode with Network and login.
2.When you login successfully,click start -->"run"-->Type "msconfig" to open System Configuration.
3.Switch to "start" tab.And cancel Kaspersky hook in "start project".
Now,there is all right.Save and reboot your computer.

Do Foobar2000 support windows7

Foobar2000 is an advanced freeware audio player for the Windows platform.
I think Foobar2000 maybe support windows 7 and had tested it out.Foobar seems to work fine except for one thing.
When I right click context menu in Foobar2000,the menu is often missing in explorer.And I am not sure what cause it?

Update:Foobar run beautifully on windows 7 bitx64.It is perfect.
All that left is customized jump list.It put cover art/vis/playback control in thumbnail like how windows media player do.

Update:foobar2000 WASAPI output support download.

It can fix incompatibility with Windows 7.

After I install windows 7 successfully,I install VMware Server Workstation.When reboot the computer,I find the vmware user account appearing on the logon screen.As I known that system will create vmware user account after installing VMware.But it don't show on the logon screen.Now i has the question.How to hide this account in windows 7?

It’s a simple method to hide this account.Note you must be the "administrator"

1.Click"start"->"run"->type "regedit" and press "Enter" to Open Registry Editor
2. navigate to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
3.If it does not already exist, create a key named SpecialAccounts
4.Below the SpecialAccounts key create another key named UserList
Create a new DWORD value (DWORD32 on x64) inside UserList named vmware_user account and ensure the 0 value
5.Close Registry Editor.Without reboot or logoff.

Command line for hide the vmware_user account in windows 7:
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList" /v __vmware_user__ /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
