You'll have to give us a bit more information than that. What graphics drivers are you running? Chipset drivers?

Sorry bout that. By cursor I meant my mouse pointer. I'm on Forceware version 174.31 and am using the latest OEM drivers from Dell for my Go7400. Ditto for the Synaptic drivers.

Got one quirk with the beta so far, this have happened on both x86-64 and x86, when going out of sleep explorer bugs out and I cannot open any explorer windows if I do not right click and choose "open in a new window", else I get a blank white screen and too fix this I must reboot.

Anyone else noticed this?

(As an administrator) I'm not allowed to change the name (label) of the partitions. But after closing the error messages it changes them.

The Windows drive logo (from the C: [Windows] drive) disappeared, right now it looks like just a simple partition.

Right now I don't have the normal partition names, only this what I can see in Explorer:

Update: After a restart everything set back to normal...

Update2: Another bug: I set the option 'Automatically type into the Search Box', but it doesn't work. It works like I would select 'Select the typed itemm in the view'.... (Ok, by pressing F3 you will have the same result, but it's still an unworking feature)

I don't know what happened. I didn't meet these bugs in previous builds.... That's the worst build of the W7....

Please does anyone know how i can get the original bios that came with my lap top HP Pavilion dv2945se amd turion, it was F.36 but after in upgraded the BIOS with the one found on the HP website, it has made my wlan card stop working..........Any solution?

A good bet would be from the same place you got the update from.

Goto Control Panel -->

Programs and Features -->

Windows Features turn on or off -->

Click on Telnet client

It fails damn, i liked the built in Telnet and i have no reason why it fails to install on both x86 and x64 machines.

Build 7000

Anyone else test this one?

Installed fine for me and tested on x86.

My hidden tray icons mini-window is somewhat transparent. I can't see most system icons if the background behind the window is white (as they are white). Windows 7 Beta, nVidia 6600GT with preview drivers from WU.

Hmmm. Definitely don't get that here (4870 with 8.12 drivers).

I am dual booting Win 7 with my Vista Ultimate. Both are 64bit editions. Windows 7 has not mounted my Vista partition and the Disk Management console confirms that. Has anybody else seen the same issue? Is it safe to assign a drive letter for that Vista partition and use in Win 7?

Yeah, just go ahead and assign a letter and it'll access it fine. To install to and run program from that partion you will have to take individual ownership of those specific folders.

Here is my Windows 7 Reliability Report so far - Running for the past 2 days as my primary OS

Thanks! It worked :)

That's strange, as for me in Vista the Win7 partition showed up without having to do anything. The biggest difference is that I have Win7 installed on a completely separate drive, so that might explain it.

In the screenshot below, If I resize the explorer window from bottom to top, my display driver starts giving error. This does not happen all the time, but I am able to reproduce it.

I am using nVidia GeForce 9800 GT and Windows 7 has installed the Prerelease WDDM 1.1 driver. Checked at the nVidia website and it also reported that I am having the latest driver installed.

I am not sure who is causing the problem - Explorer or nVidia?

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
