I had a problem with the new taskbar hover effect, what happened was that after i hovered a button of a non-active program and then move my mouse on the desktop, the button still had that white dot and selection on it , and if the button was a opened program one, the glow following the cursor would remain on,even with my mouse on another selected window. After a reboot, it's back to normal

The second thing i got was , after the test update, when i was in windows update i had "1 important update" but it was nothing in that selection. Today i did some reboots of the computer and the update finally showed up in the "important" selection.

Except this small problems, I like the direction windows 7 is going ! (I better like it because it's the thing i will see for the next 4 years)

I was wondering if anyone has a problem with the Weather gadget and getting the message "Service not available in your region"? I remember that the gadget once worked in some earlier build, I don't know what went wrong along the way... Also I remember I had the gadget working when installing W7 Beta in a VMWare virtual machine without any problems.

added a toolbar onto the Superbar and used large icons for that toolbar. Icon size does not match with regular superbar icons.

Just right click toolbars on the superbar and add desktop for instance. Right click again and set the toolbar to large icons, superbar should size up a little.

Aero shake.

The scenario is having two windows open, one is maximized, and another isn't. The smaller window is in focus. Shaking the smaller windows correctly minimizes the maximized window in the back. However, when shaking the same smaller window again, the maximized window is correctly restored, but the mouse loses its, "Grip" on the smaller window being shaken.

When the same scenario is repeated, this time with both windows not maximized, the mouse doesn't lose its grip.

Not sure if it's really a bug or intentional, but it is kind of annoying.

Where do you live that it doesn't have your region avaiable?

You could try out one of the many other weather gadgets floating around the net (or, you could look out of the window to see how the weather is ;) )

I moved my taskbar over to the left side to try it there, and when I moved it back to the bottom it is now way too big - about 1 1/2 inches thick with the buttons floating at the top instead of full square cubes as they were. I tried to unlock and resize it and it won't budge. Seems buggy.

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)

<image>

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.

I had this problem on 7000, with clean install. After I deleted the account, and recreated it, it worked.

As mentioned in my seperate thread:

the Album Art bug which shows the album art of each song..looking very ugly

and the folder view bug, no every folder and things in a folder are shown as Large icons?!?!?

I don't know what i did but it wasn't always like that, it used to be shown as details and not as large...

My sister got for a present a Toshiba NB105 for his birthday. i installed on a second partition Windows 7.

I got some bugs:

The system went totally unstable since the installer finished. It was impossible to use. There were lag in every program. The Start Menu took 3 seconds to show up. I updated to the latest drivers of every device, and nothing, the same lag in all the system. It solved after i updated the BIOS ver. from 1.6 to 1.9. The odd part is that in the change log only fixes some keyboard conbination.

There is frame skipping in the videos played in WMP. Solved using another video player.

No matter what Nvidia drivers installed 179, 182, 185 all to the latest, works perfect but when you want to uninstall then restart the PC, i get these errors everytime.

userinit.exe 0x77283892

taskhost.exe ""

dwm.exe ""

werfault.exe 0x76f93892

explorer.exe ""

logonui.exe"" - can't CTRL+ALT+DEL or get this error

conhost.exe 0x778e3892

cmd.exe 0xc0000142

All of these errors after uninstalling and restarting pc, get to login screen, click a user then these show after a while of the loading circle spinning. I goto safemode and cannot get in, make it to login screen click a name and pc constantly reboots.

Only way i can fix this is go back to previous restore point.

It's only NVIDIA, nothing else, never have crashed 7100RC and previous build 7077 i could atleast uninstall then go into safe mode and reinstall other drivers, normally booting on 7077 also got these errors but atleast safe mode worked, 7100 safemode oesnt after uninstalling nvidia drivers.

wierd.

Possible UI bug or feature?

When tiling 2 program windows vertically by moving them to the edge of the screen (AeroSnap), it seems that each window size is not memorized as usual. After opening a full screen application while mantaining the desktop resolution, each program windows defaults to the original size it had before the tiling operation. Is the AeroSnap state size only temporary?

Bug not founded on 7000. But it appeared on 7100 and now on 7201 too:

The Taskbar get ignored by any app when it goes to full screen mode. I tried restore and go full screen again. Still any application window takes all the screen instead of maximize but take the Taskbar in count and dont go behind it.

wow, your 4850 can get 6.8?

My gtx 260 SLI can only get 6.5/6.5. :-p,

I guess it is either a bug (windows 7 or driver) or Windows 7 doesn't really like Nvidia cards

4850 is pretty quick, plus it supports DX 10.1 which brings some performance optimizations.

Windows 7 7100 32-bit

-My system cannot hibernate!

Unless this is fixed, once the 7100 trial period expires next year this machine is going back to Vista.

Other problems:

-Sound Volume is really high, I have to lower the volume to 17%.

-With transparency on drawing windows seems slower than Vista, probably a driver issue

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4577 laptop, originally Vista Home Premium X86. Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 / 1.73 GHz

Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset

2GB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz RAM

160 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm hard drive

DVD+/-RW (+/-R DL) / DVD-RAM - Integrated DVD burner

Intel GMA 950 video card

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless card

Have not tried wireless networking.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
