7100 *bugs only*

[Borimol]

I'm not fond of the WinSat bug. I somehow doubt my 150 GB VelociRaptor drive only scores a 5.9.

Your HDD has bad latency. Windows 7 checks HDD latency in order to know the general performance.

People with WinSAT "problems", they arn't problems... it just means there is better hardware out now compared to what you have, MS has said MANY times they will change your scores or update the number to a higher bound when newer hardware comes out before RTM

His hdd latency is fine. A 5.9 is VERY good even by 7's standards. Those complaining about their WEI should buy newer better hardware if you really want that score to be higher. Otherwise, stop considering it a bug when the WEI gives your hardware a low score.

My WEI is a 4.6, yet I'm not complaining because this pc still performs great.

My crappy laptop's 5400rpm HDD gets a 5.3...

Or it's scaled to compare the newer GPU's on the market.

If that were the case than my Gaming graphics score would have dropped as well. It has stayed the same since 7000.

Ok I can understand them doing that. But if that is the case, why would my graphics card do the exact same for gaming in 7000 than it does in 7100, yet it does worse for Aero graphics in 7100 than it did in 7000.

If both my Aero and Gaming graphics scores dropped I would say you are right....but considering only my Aero score dropped while my Gaming Graphics stayed the exact same, I doubt this is MS changing the numbers for better hardware. If that were the case than certainly my gaming graphics scores would have dropped as well.

Windows Taskbar Thumbnail bug - new (?)

I noticed this today for the first time - the taskbar preview image didn't work properly, as you can see below. Only restoring and minimising the window again fixed it.

I never had this happen in a previous build, so I guess it's new.

I get this from time to time in Vista as well.

[Cold Blood]

For some reason when I try to install a program and click on the permission window that appears fast enough the window just hangs on waiting and frozen. This has happened twice so far.

This is not a bug, happens when DWM is shut down. DWM stores thumbnails in video memory, when its disabled, they are gone. It needs to redraw the window to generate new thumbnail, this is why you need to restore the window (can't do that for minimized windows).

[DWillens]

Shortcut icons in folders take several seconds to refresh the first time you view them after reboot. This was in build 7000, 7057 and still in 7100 x86. A good place to see it is by clicking on Start Menu, All Programs, Games. Look at the icons. For me, they start out all white and fill in slowly over a number of seconds. This only happens after a reboot, not after suspend or hibernate.

Just checking if anybody else has this. I normally put the taskbar at the top of my screen. This time i notice that after i have set it to the top, restart the system and the taskbar look weird. I've attached a picture cos i don't know how to describe it.

There is an extra transparent layer that is bigger than the taskbar thus covering the "X" button and titles at the top.

Anybody else having this bug and anyway to fix it? U don't get this if you keep the taskbar at the bottom.

just tried it my self but didnt have the problem that you are showing, so who knows that happend ay

Same here with my HD, it's too low at 5.9 as well... but it has always been 5.9 since 7000, so it might actually be intended :pinch:

I think you miss the point of how this works. It is NOT a bug. It is just an arbitrary score.

If MS were handing out 7.9's now, where can they go in 2 years when cards are 3 times more powerful?

It *is* a bug, and they *were* handing out 7.9 for it, and deservedly so.

You don't understand what Aero Graphics is for: it's for how well the graphics card can display the Aero interface. Unless you have some onboard junk graphics, pretty much any half-way decent vga card will get a 7.9 here, meaning than no improvement in displaying the Aero interface is possible.

For actual graphics performance in games and 3D applications, there is the "Game Graphics" score right below it. Having a 7.9 there right now would indeed be odd.

I also always put it at the top where it belongs, but never had this happen to me - not in 7100, not in7106 or before.

Yup, some of us have been having that problem since 7077. Did you upgrade or was this a clean install of 7100?

[Pooman779]

Most likely upgraded. I upgraded from build 7077, had the taskbar bug too....trying to find a way to fix it.

Yeah me as well. I'll do clean install later this week and hope its taken care off. To temporarily get rid of it, just move it about until the blur disappears.

5.9 too low....then what should an SSD get, and what about a high performance SSD from Q4 2010? Or a 15K 3TB drive with 64MB cache when they are out in 2010?

So you are saying that every single card above, say a 9600 should get a flat 7.9?

9600GT

9800GTX

GTS250

GTX260

GTX285

GTX300 in 2010

GTX400 in 2011....should all just get the exact same score for aero?

Doesnt sound right to me.

Clean install of 7100. It never appeared before on prior builds.

[Pc_Madness]

Create a new toolbar for the taskbar,

- Large Icons

- Text Labels

(and add an icon of course)

The windows in the taskbar are all pinned to the top, they should either stretch or be floated in the middle or something. :\ Used to work fine in XP :(

I hope it's a bug. Somehow a 6.1 for Aero with a 9800GTX+ seems a bit low.

I have the same problem here.

lol a bit low? My GTX280 gets 6.5. Lets assume a GTX295 gets a 6.9.

Can you see the scaling pattern here?

I could imagine a GTX380 will get a 7.4 and a GTX395 will get a 7.6 and a GTX480 will push the 7.9 around the time it starts all over again for Windows 8?

Isn't this logical?

Tried resizing window of WMC and it takes a looooooong time to take notice and when I go full screen I'm greated with a black screen.

[Vista]

After using 7100 for a few days; having it activated using an original key, I now get a "Windows not genuine" pop-up message.

I'm not the only person experiencing this. Maybe it's because this isn't a beta anymore.

[atleeit]

Windows Experience Index is showing true values, more they fix it, better cards they rate against, lower the older cards rating will get. I used to get 7.9 but now it's lower, the more cards that get released, the score will adjust itself but anyway who cares as long as your PC runs sweet it's only numbers, go run 3dmark and see what you get, that's a proper benchmark. The WEI is just to check if your system is suited for certain things.

Maybe MS will blacklist Beta keys then hand out RC keys so they can keep track of how many people have downloaded and installed the software.

After start windows 7 build 7100 it get BlueScreen witch error:

*** STOP: 0x00000124 (0x00000004, 0x84BC98D4, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Can someone have this problem too? What is going on how to fix it? Any idea?

Your Nvidia card or some setup could have something to do with it.
