When you first try to upgrade to Windows 7, emotions run high.  You can’t wait to see the sleek new design.  So you pop the disk in, and run the installation.

Then it tells you it can’t proceed because something like a Security Protect Manager would interfere with Windows 7.  The reason this happens is due to errors with driver compatibility, and there are many complaints about it all over the internet.  If your fingerprint scanner is giving you trouble, your best bet would be to remove it, then install Windows 7.

If the installation completes successfully, and your fingerprint scanner mattered THAT much to you, you should be able to reinstall it on Windows 7.  Just make sure you still have the disk that came with your computer and you should be in the clear!

Windows 7

For now, Windows 7 sign ups are closed. They will open up again by the
end of the month when we hold our Halo 3 ODST tournament.

Happy Furlough Day everyone.  I hope none of you forgot that today was Furlough Day because that would suck.

If you haven’t gotten your copy of Windows 7 yet and still want one, please contact Alex.  Please be advise that if you’re using Windows Vista Home Premium or less, you cannot directly upgrade to Windows 7 Professional (you’ll have to do a full installation which will delete all your stuff).
