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

[Elliot B.]

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

[Mr. Dee]

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?

Currently having a problem trying to register a .dll with regsvr32 ... keep getting this ..

Not a massive problem obviously, would have been nice to get this old visualisation going though!!

[Nomad77]

I think Fraps crashed my comp.

Has anyone been using it consistently?

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.

can be fixed by closing the programs and re-opening

The 1.1 drivers for my 9800 GX2 don't work with Fallout 3.

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

PerfectDisk and Diskeeper won't install as they do an OS check before installing.

Odd .. the drivers for my cheapo Cannon MP210 work fine ..

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.

Try switching the compatibility mode on the exe to Vista. I got some programs to install that way

Yea I tried that on both of them, but they are smarter than that, and still don't work.

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.

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?

Once Win7 gets into beta I will give it a more thorough test and use it as a main PC for a couple of weeks

[Settepotet]

Has anyone been using Fraps with the 32 bit version? If so, have you had any issues with crashes?
