There has been an issue with QWT for as long as I can remember. the Qubes Video driver has always had issues, and even though they have been reported, not all of them are easily fixed. They fixed the multi-screen issue, in a way, not really multi-screen but it's one resolution to the issue, even though it produced another issue, it resolved one. Storage and networking are just fine as far as I can tell, no matter the hardware. If it's an HVM then it has both, and they work, even the THVm works fine.

After updating Qubes tool, basically all relavant devices have issues. Qubes Video, Xen Interface, Xen PV Storage, Xen PV Network. Config in registry incomplete or broken (Code 19) The repair option of the QWT uninstaller does not solve the issue as well. Any idea?

If you're posting to a discussion group where you want help, you should make it as *easy as possible* for someone to answer your question. It is a *good* thing to provide information to people so that they "[do] not need to think or anything"! You should not demand or expect that people go out of their way to figure out what you mean, when it is simpler for you to explain it as part of your enquiry. Don't make your questions to discussion groups intentionally unclear, Drew! In short, always err on the side of "too much information" rather than too little.

That is true, but I find often providing more information just gets bad responses from people. sometimes I say one thing and provide the information and I get told that they have nothing to do with one another, and yet one is related to the other directly. yet I get told otherwise. As far as version goes, my statement was about version, not edition. Thus when I was provided information about edition not version, I had to make them understand. > Serious advice: whether you intend it or not, Drew, a large number of > your posts come across to many people here as impolite, aggressive & > demanding. This is not generally the case with other posters. The fact > that many people feel the same about your posts should tell you > something. Often, in the past, when I have posted, I added in information saying not to take my posts the wrong way. And yet people still did. Because I've had that problem in the past, but people just don't read, and thus they interpret my posts when there is no interpretation to be made. And so they misunderstand or take offense. My posts are most often explicitly to the point, no beating around the bush. > For example, here's how your current question could have been asked in a > better way. > > > === THE RIGHT WAY === > > > > > > Does QWT require any specific version of Windows 7? > > > > > > That's covered here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-tools-3/ > > > > Ah, sorry, you misunderstand me: I meant version as in 'Windows 7 > > version 6.1.7601', not the Edition.

My reply made them use their brain to try to find the reason why, or else to ASK the reason why IF they couldn't figure it out. Yours just provided them information that made them not need to think or anything. What I wanted was explained in the original question. there was no need for explanation of it because the question was "version" not "edition". I see the fact that it may have been worded the wrong way, but I just get straight to the point, and say it as it is without beating around the bush, as I said earlier in the post. My posts are not meant to be taken the wrong way. When there is nothing to be interpreted people interpret it and thus causing it to be offensive. Or else they read it and don't think of it as informative (as per your example of my reply), and that they should just query, and not have everyone go off the deep end about it. I had figured that by now everyone had already known about the things I normally put into my post to say not to misunderstand. I will have to put that statement back in to avoid the harassment that I am getting again from people, since that is the reason once again. thank you for bringing it to my attention, I will endeavor to be more careful in the future regarding the way I word the replies, and I will beat around the bush a little to be more polite rather than stating it as it is. In this post the statement isn't here, because I have not gone to find it yet in pasts posts. thanks again for brining the actual issue to my attention so that I can improve myself and work on that.

As I said previously, the version of Windows is not usually discussed (since it just depends on which updates have been installed) and you would have got a better answer the first time if you'd included - for example - "My version number is currently Version 6.1.7601 for my Windows 7 Guest" in your original question. That better question would have got you a better answer.

Well, I did not intentionally insult the person who first answered my questions at the start of my response. All he did was give me links that I had already read, that are the first things I go to before I speak here.

Maybe you missed that bit? Well, you do know what the version is. At least you can tell the difference between version and edition. That puts you one step higher than most of the other people here. I do not expect them to have done that, but if they said it needs at least version 1.6.7601, then I would have said "ok thanks", or else they could have said they need version X of this and Y of that and A of the other...

There is no commonly-accepted definition of 'version' with regard to Windows, only "64-bit v 32-bit" and the Edition.
