I am afraid my problem remains - as soon as I update my generic sound drivers to the latest realtek 64-bit drivers, the "master' sound volume falls appreciably. I have set the speakers to their max volume but there's still a very noticeable drop in volume.

I have an Asus P5Q motherboard with Realtek HD Audio and have Win7 Beta 64-bit installed. I am currently using Microsoft's generic High Definition Audio driver which was automatically installed by Win7. I have noticed that the audio volume level is very low while using WMP12 to play Xvid and other media files. Using VLC Player, I have an option to increase the default volume - is there any similar setting for WMP12? The same files sound much louder in WMP on a Vista/XP OS. Has the sound volume been deliberately kept low in Win7/WMP12 ? I have tried loading the latest Realtek Vista 64-bit Drivers from their website (version 2.16) but these lower the volume even further !! Is there any way to fix this ?

Thanks for your input - best to stay put at Build 7000 for now, I guess.

I have Beta 7000 (x64) and was wondering how to upgrade to the latest Beta (which I understand is Build 7022). Does one just install the latest Build over the previous Build, and if so will all the programs / settings be retained ? Also, is it necessary at all to upgrade if one has installed all the updates from Windows Update ?

Does this mean that I will be able to uninstall previous versions by first installing the new build (2.1) and then uninstalling it ? Also any advice on why these graphics problems are occurring and any possible solutions ?

I needed to uninstall the Unofficial Win98SE Sp 2.0 and encountered the following problems : On one machine (desktop), the screen went completely black / garbled and I had to boot in safe mode and reinstall the service pack. On the other machine (my laptop), the uninstallation went smoothly but on bootup, the taskbar section where the Quck Launch buttons appear was blacked out. My question is : have others noticed such graphics / display problems when uninstalling the service pack ? Any suggestions how to solve these problems ?
