Microsoft Error 1000 Win7 Explorer 6.1

 

If you experience an problem with Windows explorer, crashing (restarting) and “checking for solutions” frequently, please check your event log (start menu – Control Panel ->All Control Panel Items ->Administrative Tools ->Event viewer) and check your system for details:

Temporary Solution – Uninstall Divx

As you can see, the problem can easily be rectified, but only if you know what your doing. The conflicting / manifested dll or other file, could be malware or linked to a bigger program.

p.s this error had to be placed here as the Microsoft site has changed to only promote bug reports on, evaluating software only _🙂

Windows 7 installation

Hi a lot of people seem to be having problems installing windows7, there are many ways to complete this;

fresh install

Network

3 party (usb, ext HDD) etc

Local pre install

and

Upgrade

The latter seems to be what I would suggest to the public and most end-users, yes this was the least favourable option in the overall Microsoft Operating Systems but proven to be the most stable. You get the updates to the install files and keep your existing drivers, which you can update later, for example your Graphics driver. Many users and professionals are reporting driver problems with the RC with regarding the Fresh install option and network install, because the DVD image (which you should burn with ISO Burn, Nero, or something similar) has to provide the generic drivers for your system, if there is an issues with the DVD then the setup will not complete, also the downloaded image supplied from Microsoft will not always automatically create the partitions needed for the install so you would get an error code like “0x80070570” indicating that you do not have enuff space to place Windows 7. so you can see if you are not sure or want some reliability in your new installation use the upgrade option in the Windows 7 install and have fun.

Windows 7 v’s Vista v’s XP

Hey there fellas, I have some results on Windows 7!! Thanks to people like Nicholas Wilkinson and others for dropping me a message, I’ve built some information up for you, I hope you enjoy it.

How does Windows 7 beta 1 compare to Vista and XP in terms of performance? That’s a question that’s been hitting my inbox regularly over the past few weeks. Let’s see if we can’t answer it!

Important note: Before I go any further I feel I need to make a point, and make it clear. The build I’m testing of Windows 7 (build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400) is a beta build, and as a rule beta builds are usually more geared towards stability than performance. That said, the performance of this build should give us a clue as to how the OS is coming along.

Rather than publish a series of benchmark results for the three operating systems (something which Microsoft frowns upon for beta builds, not to mention the fact that the final numbers only really matter for the release candidate and RTM builds), I’ve decided to put Windows 7, Vista and XP head-to-head in a series of real-world tests to find out which OS comes out top.

The tests

There are 23 tests in all, most of which are self explanatory:

1. Install OS – Time it takes to install the OS
2. Boot up – Average boot time to usable desktop
3. Shut down – Average shut down time
4. Move 100MB files – Move 100MB of JPEG files from one hard drive to another
5. Move 2.5GB files – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from one hard drive to another
6. Network transfer 100MB files – Move 100MB of JPEG files from test machine to NAS device
7. Network transfer 2.5GB files – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from test machine to NAS device
8. Move 100MB files under load – Move 100MB of JPEG files from one hard drive to another while ripping DVD to .ISO file
9. Move 2.5GB files under load – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from one hard drive to another while ripping DVD to .ISO file
10. Network transfer 100MB files under load – Move 100MB of JPEG files from test machine to NAS device while ripping DVD to .ISO file
11. Network transfer 2.5GB files under load – Move 2.5GB of mixed size files (ranging from 1MB to 100MB) from test machine to NAS device while ripping DVD to .ISO file
12. Compress 100MB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
13. Compress 1GB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
14. Extract 100MB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
15. Extract 1GB files – Using built-in ZIP compression
16. Install Office 2007 – Ultimate version, from DVD
17. Open 10 page Word doc – Text only
18. Open 100 page Word doc – Text and images only
19. Open simple Excel doc – Basic formatting
20. Open complex Excel doc – Including formula and charts
21. Burn DVD – Win 7 beta 1 .ISO to disc using CDBurnerXP
22. Open 10 page PDF – Text only, using latest Adobe Reader 8
23. Open 100 page PDF – Text and images, using latest Adobe Reader 8

These series of tests will pitch Windows 7 build 7000 32-bit against Windows Vista SP1 32-bit and Windows XP SP3 32-bit. The scoring for each of the tests is simple. The winning OS scores 1, the runner up 2 and the loser scores a 3. The scores are added up and the OS with the lowest score at the end wins.

The test systems

I’ve used two desktop systems as the test machines:

• An AMD Phenom 9700 2.4GHz system fitted with an ATI Radeon 3850 and 4GB of RAM
• An Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2GHz fitted with an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS and 1GB of RAM

The results

Here are the results of the tests for the two systems:

Conclusion

The bottom line is that the more I use Windows 7 the more I like it. Sure, we’re looking at a beta build here and not the final code, so things could change between now and release (although realistically final code ends up being faster than beta code). Also I still have some nagging issues relating to the interface, and some concerns that the UAC changes will break applications and other code, especially installers, but overall Windows 7 beta 1 is a robust, solid bit of code.

Sure, Windows 7 is not XP, and never will be (thankfully). And if you’re put off by things such as activation and DRM, then Windows isn’t the OS for you (good news is there are others to choose from). But if you’re looking for a solid OS then Windows 7 seems ready to deliver just that – a fast, reliable, relatively easy to use platform for your hardware and software.

Goodbye Vienna Hello Windows 7.

 

Hello world!

Or that’s what Microsoft should be saying, as we all know Bill Gates is planning to reveal next year "2010" HA HA ! Some people say the so called Windows 7 is just an remake of Vista (spit), now Microsoft is taking the piss and admitted that Vista (spit) is just a prototype of OS7,(So all you dumb ass’s that paid for Vista (spit) got ripped off, because a prototype is known in IT as a beta (testing copy) so go and get your money back NOW) all though OS7 boots up like Media centre and basically behaves just like it. It looks like Vista (spit) and has its explorer.exe and we don’t know yet about wether they are keeping the network settings and we hope NOT! This OS7 dose look good and sounds OK but I can see it having a heavy dependency on memory, HDD, and cache, just like its predecessors. It will have a streamlined Kernel (NT), an inbuilt virtualisation server for the support of older programs and is also an X86 platform so in other words it runs on all 32 bit processors and it will be compatible to run on Memory sticks also known as Flash cards, sticks and dongles. Personally I am quite interested on finding out more information on this OS and in the mean time you can find out more on it at his site OS News and here Think Next and I have a little video on the fabulous Windows 7, so if you would like any other information on it just drop me a line.

Second Video too Windows OS 7

This is the second video talked about above in the blog Goodbye Vienna hello Windows  7, I hope you like then and if you want more you know what to do, you notice how much it resembles Media centre!!
