I know I won't be playing Crysis or anything, but how well will it be able to run games from a couple years ago like Rome Total War or World of WarcraftHow well will the Sony Vaio P netbook be able to run games with Windows 7?
I have tried the Sony Vaio P series, its a Compact Business class notebook, its not a Playstation, it dose support playing NFS Most Wanted, UG2 and stuffs, GTA San Andreas works on it, i have tried and tested, but on such small screen and onboard shared graphics memory, you cannot get the ultimate performance compared to gaming systems.
Windows Seven is itself heavy, its heavier than windows vista, so i guess u will get the idea that installing windows seven and running it are 2 big issues itself for sony p series, and considering playing games, u will be crying on the FPS/Slow issues.How well will the Sony Vaio P netbook be able to run games with Windows 7?
Well from what I have heard,Windows 7 will follow in it's elders (vista) footsteps and be a memory hog,so take that into consideration.
The P series is mainly meant for use like a netbook,well it is,but it has even less features then a netbook so I strongly suggest getting a regular laptop or Netbook.

If I upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista, will all of my files from Vista be deleted?
This question may sound obvious to most people, but it has been a very long time since I last updated to a new Windows OS.
My Vista computer has a lot of my games on it, from Team Fortress 2 to Crysis. I don't want to lose all of my saved games.
So, my question is; If I upgrade to Windows 7, will my Windows Vista files still be there?
Such as Steam, Crysis, GTA4, TF2, etc?
Or will I have to back them up to an external source and copy them to 7 at a later time?
Also, when I installed Vista, there were many driver problems with the video card. Will installing Windows 7 make these problems reappear?
Please provide as much information as possible, I really do want to get Windows 7, but if it is going to delete all of my saved games and cause video driver problems, just like Vista did, I really might reconsider.
Also, will my computer be able to run Windows 7?
Does my video card have a Windows 7 driver?
Here are my basic computer specs.
Video Card - AMD Radeon 4850
Processor - Intel I7 920 @ 2.66GHz
RAM - 12GB
My main worries are that my video card wont work correctly with Windows 7, leaving games like Crysis looking like a PS2 game. Or that it wont work at all.
Thank you.If I upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista, will all of my files from Vista be deleted?
It depends on how you upgrade your computer. If you upgrade, as another poster mentions your files will be saved to Windows.old for you to restore after installation is complete. If you choose to do a custom installation your drive will essentially be reformatted so you should backup all of your programs, files and settings. For a basic step-by-step guide to upgrading go here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windo鈥?/a>
As for your drivers, you can check the compatibly center for hardware, but you should be able to find driver updates for most if not all of your drivers, here is more information: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windo鈥?/a>

Do you want to update your driver? You can try Driver Robot; It can scan your system and locate the exact drivers you need to update automatically, save me a lot of time and frustration. Take a look here.

All of your applications should move over when you upgrade. But you should definitely back up your valuable files. Most of your drivers should update automatically and most Vista drivers work for Windows 7 if there is not a new one available yet. If you have more upgrade questions head to the Windows Canada page on Facebook for personalized help.

No computer can run crysis well at full settings, not even QX9650 monsters with tri-8800 ultras. But you are in luck, because you have a wonderful computer and with some settings scaled back, you should be able to handle crysis without much trouble. Vista should be no match for your computer.Can my computer run windows vista and crysis properly?
You can run crysis but your graphics card is only 512 you would it least need 1024mb of graphics to play it on medium

Will Windows 7 Home Premium lag on my Macbook Pro?
I have a Macbook Pro 15", 2.4 GHz turboboost up to 2.8 or 2.93, 4GB RAM.
Will Windows 7 Home Premium lag (Boot Camp) on my computer?
I play games such as COD Black Ops, Crysis, NFS Hot Pursuit, etcWill Windows 7 Home Premium lag on my Macbook Pro?
it will probably lag a fair bit, the only windows that runs natively using boot camp is XP, and you wont be able to play any games like Black OPs at the same timethe human revolution

Right click the Game executable or .exe file that runs the game hit properties and go to compatibility, You should see a box which indicates which windows to run this program in hit Windows Vista 64 bit click OK and then run the game.

Graphics card or Windows 7 64-bit?
I installed a new graphics card(powercolor HD4850 512mb) and downloaded all the updates and everything is up to date.
I bought COD: MW2, Crysis warhead, and GTA IV to play them on my PC.
When I play any of them, my system crashes after 10 minutes of playing when everything is going smooth.
It doesn't lag at all even at ultra-high settings and pretty sure the graphics card can handle more than Crysis.
Could it be windows 7 64-bit incompatibility or the graphics card?
BTW: complete unresponsiveness of system occurs only when playing video games.Graphics card or Windows 7 64-bit?
you should go for 32 bit windows versions those are much more stable than 64 bit versions when your using applications softwares and games ... also make sure you got enough ram installed in your pc ... but in my guess this must be the system so i suggest you reinstall a 32 bit windows version that means windows seven 32 bit or windows vista 32 bit ... dont go for windows xp versions as it lags too much and got limited 3d gaming compatiability ...
dont be fooled by the first answerers answer , windows 7 will run just fine with ur graphic card ... the 4850 hd could handle anything including vista which means windows 7 is just a simple os for such a graphic card cuz windows 7 use lower system resources than vista ...
so the last answer is its either the ram thats low if not ur system is having errors get and reinstall a 32 bit os ... plus check if ur psu is enough for ur graphic card ... 450 original psu will be needed for a 4850 hd vga (not china made psu's) ...Graphics card or Windows 7 64-bit?
It could be coz windows 7 requires a higher specifications of graphic cards.
try to upgrade your graphic card instead or look for a cooling fan coz it can also be due to heat.Graphics card or Windows 7 64-bit?
Did you make sure that your PC is properly cooled?? system overheat can cause freezing up/slowing down/Shutdowns.

Remove and re-attach the video card to remove doubts of a loose contact. Add more cooling fans (for inflow and outflow). Clean your RAM chips. Good luck.
