Please share in this topic the bugs you find in Windows 7. Specify build # and hardware specs if necesary.

My bugs (Build 7000):

1) Taskbar glass effect.

I don?t know how to recreate this situation, but I could only fixed it up by loging off.

I lost a window to the right of my screen how to do retrieve it? lol. Like I could drag it off the screen to the left and it dissapeared. Windows saved the setting of the window and I can't look at that program anymore

Right click on the lost window preview, select Move, a then use the keyboard arrows to move it into the desktop.

is this going to be an "official" unofficial bugs thread

i have noted many bugs in the 7000 build some minor and some potentially show stopping and since i dont have a beta key (yet) there is no point sending feedback via the tool

You should still send them in, unless your waiting for credit rather than wanting bugs fixed!

I've noticed these two bugs lately:

Text seem to randomly turn from black to the light grey color on tabs/buttons like in the screenshot.

I've also noticed that after I reboot I wont be able to use the internet until I disable and enable my Ethernet adapter, as it detects my "Network" and also an additional "Unidentified Network", maybe I am doing something wrong or a driver issue, not sure if this is a bug or not.

It sounds like a driver issue.

Not sure about anyone else, but I`ve been having some explorer.exe bugs, well if it can be called a bug.

What happens is after about 30 or so minutes of regular everyday PC use of Win 7 7000, explorer.exe stops responding to everything.

And when I goto "Computer" and try to access one of my hard drives it just sits there with that green progress bar running in the

"address" field. That`s all it will do, nothing more. I can`t access any files/folders at all it just sits there loading. Eventually after all of that, the whole window goes blank, no libraries, no favs, nothing...

And opening Task Manager and ending explorer.exe offers no help either.

It just sits there, the process will not properly end, everything on the desktop, taskbar and all the usual stuff disappears too, but the process keeps running.

Also when running another instance of explorer.exe via the File->New Task(Run)... option does nothing either.

This is truly driving me insane right now. I love using Win 7 and don`t really want to return to Vista, but I have no problem doing so.

If it means I`ll finally be able to use my PC.

My PC Specs:

AMD Ahtlon 64+ 3400

1.5gb Ram

320gb HDD Space (3 IDE Drives)

Windows 7 Build 7000

Nvidia GeForce 8500GTS 512mb PCI-E x16 [Will edit this one later, need to find out what exactly this card is :)]

And I apologize if this was posted in the wrong thread/topic. But I hope someone can help me out, otherwise here in the next hour or so I`m going to have to re-install Vista SP1 again *shudders at the thought of it right now*.... :(

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

It sounds to me like a hard drive problem. Did you recently try other OS with the same hardware?

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for not responding sooner.

Yeah I think you might be right about my problem being a hard drive issue.

One or all of my HDD`s do click when they come back on.

For some reason they (or one) of the HDD`s keeps turning itself off when the screen saver is active, or when generally doing random things during everyday use.

I`ve configured Win 7 to not turn my drive`s off when the screen saver is active, but they still do it.

In fact knowing it could be a hdd problem is not what I wanted to hear.

I have no money yet to upgrade, it will be a while for that.

But the strange thing is, it never really did it this bad when I had Vista as my main OS, but all this formatting and installing Win 7 about 3 times now (from 6801 to 7000) might have done something...
