What doesn't work in Windows 7 (Build 6801)?


Recommended Posts

This not specifically native to the OS. My nVidia video cards - nVidia Geforce FX 5200 (get Aero Glass but buggy), nVidia Geforce 6200 (no Glass). nVidia needs to get their act together, because the RTM drivers from Vista 64 bit work with my Windows 7 install on my ATI Mobility Radeon x1600.

Other than that, I am having issues with HomeGroup, it keeps giving me incorrect password errors no matter which compuhttps://www.neowin.net/forum/style_images/shift_forum/folder_editor_images/rte-quote-button.gifter I try to connect to. I am also having file system corruption errors on my Windows 7 64 bit partition. I have ran CHKDSK with /F still did fix it. Vista tries to fix it but says there is not enough space available on the volume to do so. I notice when I try to run setup from a network share I get the file system corruption error. Yahoo! Messenger also reports this.

Other than that, everything is working well.

Are you sure your disk isn't failing?

Andre, the NVIDIA drivers for Vista work fine. It could just be that Windows 7 is finally dropping support for the 5200 (which NVIDIA stopped supporting ages ago) and the 6200 could just be a bug to be fair.

some times the icons you have pined on the taskbar change icons (ex firefox icon get wmp icon or virsa versa)

can be fixed by closing the programs and re-opening

anyone else having this?

other that that i am running 7 for my main os for a week now i dont want to go back to vista :p

Did you try windows update from list of printer hardware when you use "add printer" from the control panel? The list of printers is not complete from the pre-beta. I had that problem with my HP 7160. I just looked thru the printer list I now have after it updated and it has MP600, MP600R, MP610 etc.

Adobe flash does not seem to work reliably in the 64 bit version. Sometimes videoes just stop. Its not buffering it just stops. I have a 20 meg fiber connection and the dark load line in the youtube player shows its loaded, then it just fails to play.

Canon MP600 does not work, but that's a driver issue of course. Only setback I've had so far.

Actually I haven't had a problem with the mp600, it worked fine with the drivers that came with windows 7, I however couldn't not use the cd label print software. I installed the actual mp600 drivers from the cannon website and it all works fine now. I am using 64bit not sure if you are on 32bit or not.

The obvious things: Daemon tools, for which I have installed a replacement (minus copy protection features). Vmware is working, but networking is not working, bridge will not work, nat is also not working properly. No problem, as I had a spare USB wireless stick lying around, using that for networking :)

Will try that this evening :)

I just installed Vista drivers, seems to work well (device is working etc etc)- but it fails when i actually print something.

Hmmm, wierd. Running 64 bit. Will look into to it later. You are using the Vista drivers?

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
