setup was unable to create a new system partition

This is probably due to 1.5tb or 2.0tb+ drives in your system using a special formatted type. Disconnect all of your hard drives except for the one you are installing onto and install. Another suggested fix is that you should format the drive you are installing the OS onto then boot into windows 7 and install.

Firefox downloads hangs freezes on almost complete downloads.

This is pretty much due to your anti-virus scanning the file that you have downloaded. Type about:config in your firefox browser, goto browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone and set it to false. Then goto your nod32 setup. Enter entire advanced setup tree, goto exclusions, and add your download folder to the exclusions. Note: you will have to manually scan files in your download folder for any viruses.

Windows 7 Outlook Express eMachines

Shirley has posted:

I just got an Emachine with Windows7. I am trying to install Outlook Express. It tells me to go to Start, the All Programs, then Outlook Express. The problem is Outlook Express is not listed in All Programs. Can you tell me how to install it. Thanks

I have a fresh copy of Windows 7 installed and I do not see Outlook Express. One thing you can try is, when you click start, immediately just start typing “Outlook” and windows will automatically search the start menu to see if outlook is installed. If nothing shows up, then Windows 7 doesn’t have Outlook installed. I do believe that Windows 7 comes with windows Live Mail which you can import e-mail accounts. It also suports Microsoft’s Exchange e-mail accounts.
