Re: I love Win7

How do you get to the calculator? (I have windows 7 but have not seen that bit)

Re: I love Win7

Hit the windows button and just type calculator in the search box, (the different calculations are under the options tab) alternatively I have a Calculator button on my keyboard hope this helps!

Re: I love Win7

Well I'm going to be trying it on a Tablet PC I have lying about.
Now it's only a 2 Ghz pentium M with 1Gb of RAM, but has all of the normal tablet touch screen goodness.
So should prove interesting experiment if nowt else.

Re: I love Win7

Apparently, it's too late to get a free copy of W7 for free anymore, but I just wondered whether that particular O/S was being offered in 64 bit version ?

Re: I love Win7

Well I'm going back to XP
Seven crashes more often than Stevie Wonder on the dodgems
If your drivers dont work in Vista, its odds on that they wont with 7 either

Re: I love Win7

Pkea, this may help you, but I might be wrong:

'What's XP mode? According to Windows watcher Paul Thurrott, it's a licensed, virtualized copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3 running inside Microsoft's own Virtual PC framework, customized and framed to allow anyone who needs a picky XP application to run to simply install it while XP Mode is enabled, then have it run as a virtualized app in the future without thinking about it.

It is, in a way, a 100% compatibility promise. :flypig:

Ofcourse this may sound better than it actually is but I know we couldnt get Vista/Win7 drivers for my camcorder, so hubby did this and I think it worked.
