i seemed to not have any problems until i started installing updates and software. after that i had some disk error. i couldnt delete anything and programs all of a sudden couldnt be opened and i couldnt move files from my c: drive (which contained vista) to the windows 7 partition. The popup suggested i use Chkdsk so i ran Chkdsk 3 times and that still didnt fix anything

Hello everyone, this is my first post :)

I have found one very strange bug with pagefile settings; for some reason my hard drives are not recognized and I can not set the page file. When I check Automatically manage paginig file size for all drives, confirm the dialog and then reopen it again, the option stays unchecked :|

Any idea? Many thanks in advance.

Windows 7 complained a few times about a corrupt MFT volume bitmap on my laptop's data partition. Vista made no peep about it. I remember reading a post on this subforum where another user experienced the same problem. :huh:

Anyone have bugs with Firefox and WLM 2009? If I have no open messenger/contact list windows and I minimize Firefox, for some reason the contact list pops up.

Actually, I think I had the same thing but I wasn't paying much attention and thought it must have been something I'd done. I seem to recall the Messenger window popping up on a few occasions when I minimised another application (I don't know whether it was Firefox specifically).

i found this morning while watching video either using media player or media player classic and rela player i would lose internet , used fix a problem it got the connection back then it would lose it again .. run dignostic it told me to reboot my modem which i did it saw the internet then lost it again

only after i stoped watch vids then ran fix a problem again it got the connection back and now is stable

whenever i'm playing a song under windows 7, any program (tried windows media player, foobar2000, vlc, and songbird) my network will cut out completely, a repair of the network adapter will fix it, and the network will be fine until i play another song.

I am not able to get the snipping tool to stay pinned to the taskbar.

1. Pin to taskbar

2. Launch from taskbar

3. Take some random screenshot

4. Click the close button

5. Hit No on save prompt

6. snipping tool disappears from taskbar

Here's a couple I've found:

  • If you create a 'New Folder' in the All Users group in the Start Menu > Programs folder, then attempt to rename it, you can't; you get a message saying it's in use. You can delete it though. Anyone else had that?
  • Windows Defender doesn't start up by default. The little notification pops up and says that Defender isn't running. I have to click the message each time to start it.

After 2 days of use i reformated my laptop back to Ubuntu 8.10 :)

Well gee, good for you. I am glad you could interject your linux rox0rz pwnx0rz into a thread for no purpose what so ever.

Anyone noticed a problem with the Orb cutting off if you move it to the top of the screen if you have a secondary monitor active?

I have a strange one.

When I shift/del or just del any file or folder it does so, but only some of the files/folders. If I try to del again, then I get the 'you need admin privilages to do this'?? I am the admin, and UAC is set to 'never notify'. Clicking 'continue' does nothing as I dont think the files/folders are really there anymore. The folders/files remain until I reboot and then they are gone?

x64 version.

I noticed that as soon as I opened Calculator. I really do hope they address it as, while nothing major, it is a distraction and shouldn't happen, especially not for one of the built-in apps (one that's used a lot).

OK, the attached image shows you what WMP looks like side-by-side another app (in this case Firefox). As you can see the WMP window on the right overlaps the right hand side of the Firefox window so you can't see the Close, Minimise or Maximise buttons in FF.

This seems to happen everytime but is only a problem with WMP.

As I said in my previous post, this is a fairly vanilla Windows 7 install with no additional codecs installed. WMP isn't doing anything special either - I just opened it and pinned it to the right hand side of the screen. Note that I could have pinned it to the left and side of the screen and the same thing happens.

I have this bug as well. Any two programs works just fine as long as one of them isn't media player.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
