Deleted member 24505 · Jan 11, 2009

The only real problem i have had is the media player one,i manually did my chipset drivers,and got the network device drivers from asus,i had to run them in compatabilty for vista to get them to install though.

Logitech setpoint 4.7 doesn't give me any options but installs fine.

I don't see a bootloader screen to let me into my Vista install. Please tell me I haven't got to re-install all my shit again....

i really want to like win7. when it runs correct, it is faster than xp on my laptop. very responsive and looks good too.

problems i've had so far-

1- windows media player wont work with any file i've tried. it loads up then cpu usage goes to 100% and stays there till i hard reset.

2- if you drag a internet explorer window too far upwards the screen turns grey and cpu goes to 100% till hard reset.

3- watching a video with vlc media player while falling asleep last night, i woke up to a frozen pc till hard reset.

4- pc locked up while trying to get a windows expierience score. had to hard reset.

i hope these small bugs i had get sorted out with a few updates. i really like the performance and look of win7.

computer specs
win7 32bit
dell d600 laptop
1.8 pentium m
2gigs ddr ram
radeon 9000 32bit (lol, but atleast its not integrated graphics)
160gig hard drive

lol, i love quoting myself. but a small update-

i uninstalled
omega drivers, now using the driver from win update. unknown version, but i dont game on this laptop so no worries.

notebook hardware control. i may try this later, its a very usefull program

diefers ik8fangui. another handy program for controlling fan speed on dell laptops.

i have not had a single lockup since uninstalling these.

Anyone with a Thompson Speedtouch 330 DSL modem, don't bother with the 64bit version because it's drivers make it BSOD as soon as you get into windows. They work fine on the 32bit release though.

Windows 7 doesn't like Opera! Every time i visit a website and idles 5minutes, crashes and bsod's!!!!!

I have yet to have that problem on x86 or x64. I am using 9.63 though...dunno if it makes a difference, but I've yet to have a stability issue w/Opera. If anything it seems faster and more stable than in Vista for me...wonder what's going on @ your end...what version? Did you reinstall it?

Reinstalled widgets and opera latest version. Less BSOD and crashes but still a few.

Kursah · Jan 12, 2009

Wow I have no BSOD's or crashes...dead stable that way, no OC related crashes, none of it. Which has suprised me for a beta os...now if Punkbuster would just support Windows 7 I'd be set till retail release!

:toast:

spy2520 · Jan 12, 2009

i have had no BSODs either. Only issue i had was Windows Media Player showed me black images with audio when pausing/playing a DVD, hasnt happened again though. Also it keeps wanting to install an Acer driver for my monitor but it always fails, did the same thing in vista though, and updating my ATI 2600 PRO driver does wierd shit so i can only go up to 1600x1200 not 1920x1200.

I even copied my Zune database info from my Vista partition and it works flawless.

Another issue is Netflix wont play shit in it.

This is Windows 7 64bit. So far it isnt any worse than Vista though. I like it. Networking works alot better, i dont know how long it took for me to get two Vista machines (one 32bit and one 64bit) and an XP machine to see eachother. This OS can see and access everything and i havent messed with any settings, even still got an automatic IP.

I initially had a Netflix issue, and then IE stopped showing pages thinking my PC wasn't connected, I reset defaults on IE and re-installed the Netflix and all is well again, even plays movies as it should now, in 7 x64 that is. Though initially it was a problem...really odd at that too.

Another thing I noticed is a substantial speed boost when copying to and from my Patriot XPorter 16GB USB flash drive...soooo much faster, and Vista wasn't necessarily slow, but this is just way faster. Games seem to install faster too...patches, etc...so far so good!

desktop icons disappearing after 2 reboots after using sleep and internet drops out some times

MAGMADIVER · Jan 12, 2009

1) WMP wont let me adjust the appearance
2) Can't access the equalizer in WMP
3) Desktop Gadets doesnt work when I click on program either by right-click on desktop or in control panel
4) HP printer wont install (CORRECTION) Weirdly enough MS had a driver that worked but HP did not....funny.

i also noticed a speed boost transferring files between hard drives.

Yeah, I had a brainwave before I saw this and put my Vista disk in. Clicked repair and next boot I had the bootloader back. Not before I'd wasted £6 on VistaBootPro, which didn't even see my Vista installation....

AphexDreamer · Jan 12, 2009

I got a BSOD right after clicking a Download link at Microsoft's website with IE. Thats about it so far.

It came so unexpected that I didn't have time to write it down.

Nick89 · Jan 12, 2009

Somthing Weird with windows 7

For some strange reason it says engineering sample.

kenkickr · Jan 12, 2009

There is a Windows 7 8.12 beta driver and if that is what you are using..that's probably why
