Yes Ive had this account for a while years ago while I was experimenting with Flash, but try as I might I sucked and my version was a trial so I had no choice but to give up! Then I saw an art community I figgered I may as well give it another try!

Me VS Windows 7

Posted by TheBurningDonut - December 7th, 2009


Well things have been kinda stressful, but for silly reasons!

I have been pulling a lot of extra hours at work and have had a lot of classes and stuff there as well. See my CPR and my OIS training don't count for this company because they have to be received by IN HOUSE trainers and that means I have to do all this crap AGAIN!

Oh well

Also at home I have recently installed Windows 7 and I gotta say.... What a PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!

Well first the initial install took over 4 hours, and then I had to get to work,

Next day, I started trying to what programs did and didn't work and first there's an issue with my Super Nintendo emulator and how the control pad relates to it or something, other than that as far is installed programs go I have found few actual problems but you DO have to go through EVERY PROGRAM and test EVERYTHING I've encountered quite a few little glitches but often just restarting will fix everything in one shot.

The internet seems to have a few issues at lest when it comes to sites that run videos, often once you click on the third video the internet will freeze and it need a restart after that there will be no problem.

The worst and the most frustrating thing is windows 7 has NO WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER!

Now admittedly there's not A LOT of people that use WMM but you would THINK that as more and more amateur videos become more popular that Microsoft would try and prove they understand there customers and make a cooler movie maker, not take it away!

I read up on it and they SUPPOSEDLY did it to not have so many bulky programs taking as much space, but if you ask me I think they could do with a simpler layout for the WAY over flashy Windows Media Center and I mean seriously how many different way do you NEED to play music and movies especially DVD's?

Yah I did use Movie maker A LOT so it really bugged me not to have it I mean everything from Photoshopping videos to simple video journals GONE.

I went to the official windows download site and all they had was WMM 2.6 witch was made to work with XP so when it would try and work with 7 it would have all kinds of problems, also I tried and found some free editing programs and they all sucked or turned out to be free trials and you would never know until you downloaded it, and there's a movie maker that The main website said would work attached to the Windows Live software, witch sucked ever more!

I finally found a way to get the Vista movie maker but it was a PAIN IN THE ASS Microsoft should have some kind of option to get a regular working movie maker in Windows 7!

I have been fighting with Windows 7 for almost 4 days and still encounter problems but hopefully there'll be a Service pack or update that helps out soon.

XP is still pretty good, it has support for everything, and is pretty cheap. Windows 7 is real shitty, I mean come on, $1200 a copy for something that barely works?

I have Windows 7 myself, and actually it DOES have Movie maker, I've used it myself.

It's just been renamed to "Windows *live* movie maker". Then again, I got it a year after your post.

Honestly though, the only issues I've found with it are reverse- compatibility. It has none. At all.
