[H] Windows 7 recovering corrupted registry

In XP, I can boot to PE or recovery console and copy the registry files back from the System Volume Information folder to \windows\system32\config. Is there a way to do this in Win7 from the recovery console? I know I can access the shadow copy versions, but since I can't boot to Windows, I d

[H] Windows 7 Media Center licenses

Cable TV in my area is provided by COX, and unfortunately they encrypt every channel except for PBS. In the last couple of months I have had inexplicable glitches that resulted in Media Center loosing it's licences for TV shows that I had previously recorded. When this happens I can't play TV

Re: [H] Windows 7 RC Torrent == Bad

I'd argue ati is better off now then it would have been, and the 780g has been one of the most reliable htpc platforms. And the 4890 is a better bang then anything nvidias got atm. But 5 years ago? Please. When amd had the x2, intel had pentium-ht and then pentiumd. And the x2 DESTROYS

Re: [H] Windows 7 RC Torrent == Bad

No flame war here! Just checked, AMD's stock value peaked when it doubled 2005's value in Q1 2006. It's been dropping like a rock ever since to where now 3 years later shares trade at 10% of 2006's peak. Either way what killed AMD is C2D and lack of vision to compete, not bribes IMO. No doubt

Total non-sequiter but try lowering your 3d resolution to 1024x768 and see if that helps. Was getting crazy crashes under XP w/ 9.x drivers and 3870x2 card, problems stopped when I stopped trying to do 1280x1024. Stan Zaske wrote: Is anybody running Windows 7 RC1 with a Radeon 4000 series vid
