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?

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
