Windows seven possible problems
I have notice several things that may be issue 1st- My card reader does not show up in the "my computer" untill I put a card into the reader. It is a scan disk imageMate 5 in 1 MODEL sddr-99 v4. I've updated the firmware but it still does not work. I've noticed that Windows XP has it there no matter what. So my question is this ;Is widows 7 surposed to show it in "MY COMPUTER" just like Windows XP?2nd- My kensington mouse isn't lised as a device in the control panelwith the ps2 adapter. attached. It does when I connect it directly into the usb port. I prefer the ps2 connection just to free up my usb ports. Is windows surposed to do this?3rd. How do I get Rid of the Security Warning In the Windows Explorer 8 "THIS WEB SITE DOES NOT USE HTTPS...ECT ECT. It is a pest to deal with. It is a real pain to keep having to click on allow in order to go view my web page. I've tried lower security and deselecting "Protect Mode" But nothing works.I've was refered by the support team form the "getting Ready for Windows 7 forum" to post it here.Nice OS Team Windows 7. Good Job

JDotolo,If you go into Windows Explorer and hold the alt key down, the menu bar appears. Go to the Tools menu and click Folder Options. When that window opens, click on the View tab and find the checkbox next to 'Hide empty drives in the Computer folder'. Make sure it's off.

Thanks Dwolter.Cool My first questions is answered.

JDotolo,No problem. Now let's take a shot at #3... Can you go into Internet Options, click on the Advanced tab and click the 'Reset' button down near the bottom and see if that helps. or, it could be an add-on... Try to start Internet Explorer (IE) with no Add-ons. To do so, please click the Start Button, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

Hmmmm. I get a standard warning about switching between secure and not when I turn on that option, but it has a checkbox to not show me that message again. Can I get the exact error?

I do not get the checkbox only the warning and ask to allow. It does not have the option to never ask that question again.It is windows explorer 8 you are using?

Yes. Just out of curiosity... In Internet Options, under the 'Content' tab, there is a button to clear SSL state... see if that does anything for you.

No, But it is not that big of a deal...I am ok with it..Everthing works fin to me. Just asking to see if I can diable the warning. But as long as MY pc works the way it is design to Then I am okQuestion #2 I was just curios to see if other Windows RC users noticed the same....

JDotolo,I've seen it mentioned once or twice in these forums... People usually just switch to USB and forget about it... So I don't have an answer other than that right now. October is coming fast, maybe it's fixed in the RTM for you, or you Motherboard vendor will supply new drivers for Windows 7.

Well over all Windows 7 is Very Good. Fast and reliable so far. I've tried The Virt. XP and that is good too. It lacks pefromace. May be due to virtual devices esp Video card. but it is also a beta program. I hope that Windows 7 performs Well in high end Video games too so I do not have to have Two OS on my computer. Right now I running XP and testing Windows 7 to see if it will work with my system. So far so good. Hope Microsoft doen't change it too much. In fact I hope they don't change a thing just work out the bugs.I just wonder How Virtual XP will run a Game?Thanks again for your help........

Virtual XP wont run games, Virtual computers use a basic Video card driver so Games are out.I have had different mice work with adapters and some that didn't, but I'm guessing this one worked fine before so its probablyjust a Win7 thing.
