7100 *bugs only*

[haefft]

There is bug in the recycle bin. Trashing something does not show it full until you double it which corrects it.

[Udedenkz]

BUG: Single Click is On by default - can't set it to double click, even though it looks like it is set to double click everything opens with single click which in turns makes selecting items a pain.

Never noticed this there with any Flash.

Simply upload the pic to http://imageshack.us/ and post the forum link here.

Still can't reproduce it (4870 w/ newest Catalyst drivers).

Looks like a driver bug.

Thanks

Is it the abnormally long start menu a problem here? Go to Taskbar properties, choose "Start menu" tab, go Customize and see how many recent programs are being shown; 'cause if there's, let's say 20, then Windows will "reserve" the space on your start menu, even if there are no recent programs at all.

[piedpiper09]

Nope... Menu items were there the disapeared - after reboot they were back.

Mine has no close, restore/max, and mini buttons. It works when I click on one of the invisible buttons. It could be a bug. :blink:

See example:

Build 7100 -

Seems to indicate every folder created in the user folder or desktop is shared even though I haven't shared them. When you do share a folder the folder icon doesn't change either. The only way you can tell if its shared is to look at the bottom of the page to see a small icon there. Folders created in the root of the drive don't have this bug:

I really hate this. I hope it wasn't intentional by Microsoft.

That's not a bug that's the 7 links you've added to the start menu. You've got far too many links there that are not there by default.

Common sense would tell you that the start menu will expand in height when you add 7 links to it.

You can't seriously think it will stay the same size. That's just dumb.

And???? this would make my recently used program icons dissapear? - your saying this is by design?

And what are you talking about size... I never said anything about size... of course it will increase in size the more links I addd. duh!

Man read again - you have it all wrong... take a look at the left side of the start panel... my icons are gone.

sheesh learn how to read!

Don't know about that anyways I got it wrong. I thought you were complaining about the size of the start menu. My apologies.

Note to self.......Pay more attention.

Not your fault buddy, he just attached a screen without saying a damn word - I got it the wrong way too :p

After unplugging my laptop (which has a bad battery that works to power the computer, but doesnt get recognized), the screen dimmed. But then after plugging it back in it was still dim and I couldnt adjust the screen brightness anymore until i restarted.

Display brightness was gone from the Mobility center also.

[TAZMINATOR]

As you see my screenshot above.... Is there a way to get the buttons back? I have tried to restart but no luck. :blink:

Several times every day, applications stop responding. Most of the time I'm either watching a video or playing a game when it happens. Suddenly one application stops responding, and the rest do the same one after the other within about 5-10 seconds. If I click on their windows, it gets a gray overlay and the loading cursor starts spinning over it indefinitely. After these few seconds have passed, my entire computer becomes unresponsive - even the start menu is dead. The mouse cursor is the only thing that still works. I can't even do CTRL-ALT-DEL - nothing happens! I have to force a shutdown/reboot by pulling the plug, pressing my power button or stuff along those lines.

This started happening to me directly after I installed 7100 x64. On 7000 x64, this NEVER happened. I have run memory tests to rule out my RAM. Here are my specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2 GHz

Corsair XMS2 PC6400 6 GB (2x2GB + 2x1GB) @ 800 MHz

ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus (with active cooling for both the northbridge and the southbridge)

ASUS Geforce 8800GTX

Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1.5 TB

Mind you I have been running my system overclocked without any hitches as a result from it for more than 2 years. It has run Vista x64 since its beta stage aswell as Windows 7 x64 since build 7000. I am using the latest drivers from Creative for the X-Fi and the latest beta driver from NVIDIA for the 8800GTX (185.81). Every update from Windows Update has been installed. My system is properly cooled and ventilated.

I hope I'm not alone with this problem, and I hope even more that someone has a solution for it! Thanks!

Have you upgraded from a previous build, or did you do a clean install?

I'm getting a weird menu bug where the menu items in the right click and file menus don't get shown until you move down the context menu:

As before, is it a clean install or upgrade from Vista/Windows 7? I've never heard of this kind of problem.

After unplugging my laptop (which has a bad battery that works to power the computer, but doesnt get recognized), the screen dimmed. But then after plugging it back in it was still dim and I couldnt adjust the screen brightness anymore until i restarted.

Display brightness was gone from the Mobility center also.

Try running the "Hardware Troubleshooter" in the action center, it will likely ask to reinstall some ACPI interface driver. Say Yes, and it should be fixed after a restart :)

Startup Bug.

In the morning when i power up my laptop and boot win7 (7100) on my desktop are missing my software, my instaled programs. The office 2007 fonts are screwd up, mozilla is starting in the way it's starts for the first time. After a reboot it's running normal. All my programs are back.

I got the RC from the microsoft website.

[Wingen]

Have you upgraded from a previous build, or did you do a clean install?

Shoot, I knew there was something I had forgotten.

Clean install. I've even tried reinstalling it to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid during the setup. :)

I don't have a sure way to reproduce the problem, but usually it comes when I'm watching a movie or playing a game while I'm surfing the web at the same time.

Anybody got Media Center's TV function working?

Mine just gets stuck at the "Download TV Setup Data" screen, it never moves.

Someone with the same problem I have:

"The first account made (Administrator) Or the profile you created works completely fine right? When you try create another account it works, but you have the following errors. (Cannot resize window, Cannot Close Window, Cannot Enlarge window)

All W7 updates installed, graphics driver fine (don't have Aero due to not-so-great onboard vid card); windows are fine in my main account, just not in anyone elses- they can't double click titlebar to maximize, grab it to move, or resize or click the X to close the window as it's greyed out.

Any ideas, solutions or fixes? Anyone with the same problem?

It's been mentioned running Regedit and/or copying my working AppData folder to theirs works but this doesn't for me. Quite a serious bug IMO.

[Neo Razgriz]

After the first five pages, I'm starting to question whether to even test the Win7 RC1 or not now! :s

[dancedar]

Echoing other problems mentioned: wifi connection SUCKS with W7, terrible connecting and drops a lot; hdd is accessed a lot trying to connect too. Kinda weird.

Wacom CTE3 Graphire - when using in one account, switching to another it doesn't work either in the user selection logon page or in the other account *while another account is logged on*. RC2 date? heh

This is really frustrating :angry: . I discovered the following bugs in the RC Build 7100 x86:

1. If I leave the system idle for an hour or so and the power settings turn of the display, then when I try to operate the system it seems hanged. I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL and it responds in 2-3 minutes and then works normally.

2. Similarly, if I hibernate the system, but don?t turn off the power supply, it restarts after some time (no fixed interval, sometimes immediately).

3. Also, sometimes it doesn?t recover from the hibernation at all. It spends a minute or so displaying a completely black screen. Then it may or may not head to the logon screen. I have to force a resta:crazy:azy:

4. If, for some reason, I had to shut down windows forcefully, i.e. from the power socket, the boot up takes a year or so..lol. Logon screen takes quite a while to appear. After logon, the desktop is completely blank and only after one or two frustrating minutes, is the functionality restor:wacko:cko:

The last problem was present in all the builds I used except 48. Otherwise the startup times are lesser than 70 s:blush:ush:

My sys specs are :

1. 4.5 GHz (OC) Intel Celeron D 3.06 GHz

2. 2GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM

3. ASUS P5N-MX mobo with NVIDIA GeForce 7050/nForce 610i chipset.

4. 128 MB graphics memory.

5. All drivers from the vista batch, except video driver: NVIDIA Pre-release WDDM 1.0 ver. 8172, windows updated to this automatically.

6. Norton 360 ver. 3 compatible with win 7, released today itself.

Anyone else experiencing something similar? Is it a driver related fault or something el:huh:huh: :blin:wacko:cko:
