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

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?

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
