Windows update force installed driver 376.53 today even though driver updates were turned off (regedit). Even with the Nvidia driver hidden in Windows update it still installed. Only way to keep it from reinstalling was to install the very latest driver (378.49) with network cable unplugged. Seems to be complaints about this all over the net. Has anyone else experienced this?

Had no issues on Windows 8.1 or 10 with CoD4. Just copied the files from disc to hdd and installed from there.

I believe your username was tied to your old cd key.

CoD 2,4 & 5 all work on Windows 10

Just tried the downloader and it works good here. Maybe reboot your router?

Like Chill said I would run chkdsk first. If that checks out, burn Memtest .iso and boot from it and check your memory; http://www.memtest.org/

"I guess I will have to bite the bullet and do a clean install of win 10." Make sure you download the latest version of Windows 10 if your doing a clean install and using your Windows 7 key. If it's not version 1511 or newer it won't work. Media Creation Tool; https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

As of the Windows 10 November update, (1511), you can now do a clean install and use your Windows 7 or 8.1 key to activate. Ive done this 5 times so far and has worked every time. It will not work though with a volume licence.

Have the same problem with high CPU usage on one of my Windows 7 machines. As soon as I disable Windows update my CPU usage goes back to normal. I'm thinking its because there pushing the Windows 10 update all the time. Just change Windows update to manual start or disable and use off line update.

Running Windows 10 and CoD4 no problems at all. If you want some control over Windows update, get Windows 10 pro. The only thing I hate about Windows 10 is the sound - anything other than onboard audio is problems in Windows 10. Most times the driver will not load with Windows 10 fast boot and if you do get a dedicated card to work the next update will probably nock it out.If your running onboard sound you should have no problems.

This is what I use when I'm reloading Windows 7; http://download.wsusoffline.net/ You can pick the updates you want to download maually, create an .iso file and store it on a thumb drive for future installs, works really well.

If your looking at the new Tacoma's I would test drive one 1st. I have a 2011 Tacoma and I think the new ones need a couple of recalls. The new engine makes a little more horsepower and about the same torque as the older ones. The problem is that the transmission and the engine don't seem to be working together in the new Tacoma's. The new 3.5's horsepower comes in at a higher rpm range than the older 4.0 and the transmissions shift points don't seem to ever let it get there. Because of this the engine seems to labor just to do the speed limit. I look for them to do a software update in the future. I also talked to a friend who has a 2016 Tacoma and he said he is on his third windshield in 3200 miles. Apparently Toyota switched to a "laminated" windshield to cut down on cabin noise. This leaves a thinner layer of glass on the outside which as you can imagine will crack easily from anything that hits it. He is hoping for a recall soon. Personally I'm waiting for the 2017 models till they iron out the bugs.

Sorry for your loss Loader. Have been through this myself recently. We always pray for physical healing but that is not always Gods will. Even in ones passing we can find comfort in the fact that they are truly healed, no more to suffer and in peace living in paradise.

Sorry to here about your mom, may Gods healing hand be upon her.

Gtx970 and if your budget is lower gtx 960. 9xx series cards have pretty low power requirements compared older generation cards. For the gtx 950, 960, 970 - minimum PSU would be 350, 450, and 550 watt.
