Gave an option to fix it or leave it. I left it cuz the fix it option had 2048 or 2352 and both still ended up showing the same error msg. Did that pop up for you when your burned it?

^^ those are the exact same links on the page I posted.
Anyways, this is how I made my bootable Win7 DVD: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11194
You just use ImgBurn to create a bootable dvd from the files you downloaded and extracted from digital river.

I didn't even get that email, I ordered it like 2 weeks ago now and all my computers already have 7 on them with my key lol
Dunno why so many people having problems, 7 was probably the fastest/easiest clean install I've done Posted via RS Mobile | |

Did anyone download the student special Windows 7 recently?
I want to know if you still download the .exe file which had a lot of complaints or do you download a .iso so you can burn it to a dvd right away.

i wouldnt call this a reason not to buy it, but ive had 64bit windows 7 pro installed for 3 days and have already run into multiple programs that do not support it. SQL server doesnt work with windows 7 x64 (x64 xp/vista only), so i had to run it inside a VMWare environment with 32bit XP. also sometimes i like to keep older versions of programs because i dont like bloated software. an example of this is adobe acrobat. i've been using version 6.0 for years! older apps were not made for x64 environments obviously. i have a drive on my computer where i keep old software. can't use stuff like that anymore.
