Windows 7 BETA Problem/Bug Report

Yeah 7068 is running fantastic! I've tried some past releases and had some issues like I couldn't use my phone (my service runs through my comp) so I just couldn't run Win 7. But 7068 is running awesome, I haven't come across one hitch yet, I'm loving it!
 
yer build 7068 is running smooth for me to build 7105 should be out some time soon.
 
Gah! I want to start downloading now before i go to bed but I don't know what time it is coming out, so it looks like I will have to wait untill after college :(
 
My problem right now is the HDMI driver in ATIs Catalyst beta release for Windows 7. It keeps causing Bsods and shutting down. Anyone else have this same problem?
 
I've had this problem twice on x64 7077, when I go to shut down, it just stays at the shutting down screen and doesn't turn off, I fell asleep not knowing it was left on and it was on for like 10 hours.

And sometimes I've had to force shut down because some programs don't close.
 
Whats 7127 like bud? can i use the same key for that as 7100?

Is build 7127 worth the reformat? Is there anything new and can I just upgrade to it with out reformatting?
 
I installed windows7 on my HTPC and everything is working great. A little tricky to install a couple of drivers but otherwise working great.

And the best thing is the media guide works by default in media centre. (people in Australia will know what i'm talking about).
 
I'm wondering the same thing AphexDreamer,i have the iso,but wondering whether to stick to 7100 or not.

I have the same issue. System shutdown hangs go as far back as Win95, and usually are caused by the system waiting on a service to close. Why it won't end or close could be a few different things.

Unfortunatley there's no direct information about the shutdown process in the event viewer.

I've gone through many different sources and tried a ridiculous amount of things in order to solve the issue. The first one was a restore point. That did the trick, however the hanging started again. I had read elsewhere that others experienced that - after a restore point working, system restarted fine for a bit, then started getting stuck again -.

The other obvious test is to try it in safe mode. This is where I think my issue with it deviates from most others, in that for them, they can restart in safe mode, suggesting that there's a higher level service, or outdated system driver causing their shutdown problem(s).

Yet for me, I can't even restart in safe mode. There's something considerably worrying about that.

THE only connection I can draw from my actions that my relate or influence any of this, is when trying to do a firmware update on my Razer mouse. However when there was no success, I reverted back to the last known supported drive/firmware combination, and as far as the mouse goes, everything is fine.

I've tried clearing any cache, hoping that if the system is still looking for something related to the firmware update process, that it would clear it, but have been unsuccessful.

The only other thing I've noticed, is that registry programs report to me that there's numerous Active X 'issues.' Yet none of the registry entries are removable. It's actually the first time I've ever had regedit deny me doing something.

Build 7100

Yes you can, but I really don't think it is worth the upgrade to go from 7100 to 7127.
Unless someone can find any details on what is fixed/changed
 
yes you can uses the same key, i think its worth it there more than a few bug fixs even if you dont know what they are

One of the main fixes in this build is a problem with Via chipsets and NVIDIA based video cards identified in the Microsoft forums. So Microsoft is listening to its forum posters.
 
i need to format and reinstall. for some reason a power outage at the LAN i was just at, corrupted my tray icons.

they arent HIDING away like they are wont to di in 7... they're blank. empty little spaces that light up if i mouse over them, but they dont do anything if i click on em. Even tjhe volume icon did this (now i can see it, but clicking does nothing)

Methings i'll be getting 7127 and formatting.
 
found a nifty little bug when trying to scan disk a hard drive today. dont know if anyone else has gotten this but explorer will memory leak up to 3.4gb when its scanning. if stop the scanning windows wont give back the memory it just stays at 3.4 untill you kill the process and restart it. anyone seen this before ?

Are you sure you have not called your drive "sotrage"

When I do that, it just says Checking Disk "Insert name of drive here"

(not literally :p )

EDIT:

vbx beat me to it.

Arrakis+9 you noob :slap: lol
 
spelling mistakes and jokes aside there still seems to be a memory leak when you use check disk. tried it on two machines at work running 7, diff hardware configs same bug.
 
I`m using Windows 7 build 7100 for couple days and what can I say besides that it is amazing.
Lightning fast. For now everything is working fine. No bug reporting from me that is for sure :D.

Maybe it's just taking up memory to run that scan?

i had nasty issues with file sharing, they went away in 7127.

You tested file sharing from other PC's, particularly ones with different user names and passwords?
