7100 *bugs only*

Here's a bug that has been around since pre-beta builds of Windows 7:

Thinstalled/Thinapped programs STILL crash when I try to run them. I wish those Microsoft devs would get off their retarded asses and fix this damn bug.

it is not MS/windows issue.

Read the topic title and understand it. Third party software issues are not windows 7 bugs and are not microsoft's problem to solve. Go to a forum for your software and complain there instead.

You and many other people need to understand that windows 7 bugs are bugs within the system itself not problems with non system related products like third party software issues.

How does one actually determine whether the application is just incompatible by intended W7 design or it is a bug in W7 that is preventing the application from running properly?

[Innuendo]

Just to add to the WEI mystery a bit...I've got an ATI X1900XTX & since it's now a legacy product the newest drivers I can use with Windows 7 so far are Catalyst 8.12. Using this combination in Vista and Windows 7 builds 7000, 7022, 7057, and 7068 got me WEI scores of 5.9 in both Gaming and Aero.

Now with Windows 7 build 7100 with the X1900XTX and Catalyst 8.12 I'm getting WEI scores of 6.0 in both Gaming and Aero. Looks like I'm the only one here whose scores went up. Weird...

A folder that is created under the root of the system drive is missing entries in its security descriptor, which may cause some application failures on the English version of Windows 7 Release Candidate 32-bit Ultimate

This could be causing some app problems. The fix is on Windows Update. (This does not affect x64.)

Power Management in Windows 7 is broken just like in Windows Vista.

[chrismaddern]

My sys specs are :

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

You've clocked a Celeron at 4.5 GHz and are surprised when it crashes after periods of prolonged heavy use?!

How is that thing cooled... will it do SuperPi etc...

The system never CRASHES, but HANGS. Plus, this overclock has withstood 8hrs of most stressing burn-in tests. I had something similar for vista as well. But it never HANGED.

Cooling: I have a 5000 RPM 'ultra quiet'(its writeen on it, at least quieter than the stock fan) fan. It keeps temperatures within 45-57 degree C. + The OC is without any volting....SURPRISED?

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

Perform a clean install rather than an upgrade.

Lol, +1

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.

Use a clean install :)

[Lord Ba'al]

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.

Ok, that's already one cause of problems less.

I see you've overclocked quite a bit, from 2.4GHz to 3.2GHz. Could you disable OC and see if the problem persists?

What? This is a clean install, straight from the iso. Is that not the only way to install 7? 32 bit version btw. 64bit doesn't have this problem (yet).

[jordanspringer]

not sure if this has been mentioned before, but if in IE, the only window I have open is a download window, I cannot open a new IE window using the button on the taskbar. It just switches to the currently open download window. (I realize if you middle click, this opens a new window, but thats not the bug) This will definatly cause confusion for the average user

I did just that about an hour ago, but my problem kept showing its ugly head.

I've looked in the Event Viewer for clues about what really is happening but it doesn't display anything out of the ordinary. Only that standard "the previous shutdown was unexpected" entry that always shows up in the logs after a forced reboot.

Thanks for helping me! :)

I think I might've solved my problem. My problem came up after I had done some maintenance work on my hardware last week. Turns out one of my SATA cables had been bent into something that didn't always work like it should. Since straightening it out, the computer has worked perfectly!

I love hardware issues. They're my favorite kind.

Ah, so it was a hardware issue... well, it already started sounding like one. Glad you've got your problem fixed :)

turned on the laptop today and all the icons didn't appear on the desktop and right clicking on it did nothing, i had to manually kill explorer.exe and start it again to get them back.

Yesterday i went to the start menu and it seemed to be chopped in half, the whole bottom was missing with no search, all programs and shut-down... again i had to kill and re-open explorer.exe

Not sure these are new bugs or not!

[Wingen]

*sigh* My problem is back. I even swapped the SATA cable for another one and was extra careful not to bend it too much this time. If I wait about 10 minutes after it has frozen, suddenly the computer starts working again, unfreezing. After the unfreeze, I can see in the Event Viewer that nvstor64 issued a reset command to my main HD (the one with my OS, a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1.5 TB). I tried updating the chipset drivers to NVIDIA's latest version instead of using the ones that came with the Win7 install CD, but it doesn't make a difference.

The exact message is this:

Event 129, nvstor64

"Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued."

When I remote connect to my Windows 7 PC (which has a US keyboard layout) from a machine with a UK layout it changes it to UK and doesn't change it back until I reboot. Quite annoying actually :p

Don't blame it just because it tries to fix that crappy Yankee keyboard layout :p

Anyone having trouble running Spotify on Windows 7 RC 64bit? Works great on the 32bit version, but the 64bit version doesn't load any UI, the process just sits and does nothing.

This is true :p but until i can buy a new keyboard with a REAL layout I will have to stick with the crappy keyboard I have now, which unfortunately has keys in the wrong place hehe

Works fine here.
