Windows 7

I was thinking about upgrading my OS system from Windows XP to Windows 7. I did not do the Vista due to hearing about all the problems, incompatablities and issues. I was wondering now that windows 7 has been out for a few what are your thoughts. Is it as good or better than XP. Is it worth to upgrade or should I just keep XP.

Thanks

I've heard very good things about Windows 7. What are the specs of the computer you want to upgrade?

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks,

Specs are listed below. Its a few years old, the video card is actually the HD2600PRO PCIE 512. I am looking to upgrade because as of last week my computer screen keeps freezing and then shuts down whenever I visit certain sites. I am gussing do to flash on vertain sites. I have never upgraded any drivers because I had no issue or reason to until now. But no matter what I try I can not get my Catalyst center to work after upgrading. I have completly removed all components, then rebooted and installed. I even installed each component individually with reboot, even done in safe mode just to be sure everything was removed including cleaning registry and all old folders and still no luck. So last resort would be to upgrade OS which not looking forward to doing but not much else left to do.

The system is fine, the video card is the only thing needing an upgrade if you do hardcore gaming. Windows 7 will run fine.

Have you tried running memtest on the system? Random freezing is hard to pinpoint.

I actually went through a lot of things. Deleting, removing all ATI Components even went ahead removes all C++ and .NET Framwork and reinstalled newer version and then installed Drivers same issue. I Went ahead and Restored my computer since that didnt finx issue as still couldnt get into CCenter to switch settings.

So I went ahead and updated my Chipset drivers and I still can not get into my CCenter but since it's already set-up from when I could I don't need to at this moment and that seems to have fixed the crashing issue on certain sites. Atleast for right now.

Thanks for the help
