Windows 7 BETA Problem/Bug Report

Someone said earlier that skype doesn't work. Had the same problem, but just installed skype 4 beta (you can find the link on the official site in the download section), works perfectly.
So far everything works perfectly on my new win7 installation. Strage to read some of your posts :<
 
i posted htis in the other 7 thread as well. using a few keywords so that it shows up in google searches.

Problem: playing MKV files in windows 7 breaks subtitles, so they dont show.

Solution: tell your player to use Directvobsub, instead of whatever its using (usually haali).
Doing so has fixed it in Media player classic home cinema and zoom player, in my testing.
 
Remember to send feedback to Microsoft folks.

mines irrelevant. its hardly 7 or MS's fault that haali media splitter doesnt work, when directvobsub does. its haali who needs to know.
(but i sent one anyway)
 
I wasn't directing my comment at yours solely to be honest Mussels, it was a general thing to everyone.

I've been sending feedback on the GUI & Hardware issues. I like beta testing. Can't wait to try it out properly on my A8V.

XD
 
i never got a key so i cant even send feed back lol
 
on my 64 bit version of seven my desktop likes to disappear as do the icons on the task bar D:

Alt tab-ing brings the desktop back, but only when I'm not doing anything! XD
 
panther and lucas: you two have 4 series cards. i'd be looking at video drivers for that, i dont get it on my radeon 3200 onboard with cat 8.11.

live or die: you have PM. and keys :)
 
Comodo firewall doesnt install, refuses to. (Vista Version)

When windows 7 went into sleep mode, and when i hit the space bar to wake it up again it crashed and restarted on me. (just once tho so far)
 
I have a problem, after I installed 7 the My computer screen only should the windows 7 drive and the vista drive isn't there. When I look in vista all my drives are there. Also all the drives are IDE
 
Thanks mussel's I have looked at drivers but I have the latest ones, " beta versions" so I can only assume they are for seven!

my 32bit laptop works fine though!

with nvidia, people are having better luck with vista drivers than they are 7 betas. The same may be true for ATI.
 
Just a NOTE: To make 7 compatible w/ hardware and apps there are beta's release drivers and apps which are made w/ windows 7. Seems like i downloaded all beta drivers and works flawlessly. But the alt tab thing is still present.
 
now how do i report a bug to MS?

to show your hard drive in 7 go to computer->manage->storage->diskmanagement-> then select drive that not appearing and right click select change drive letters and path. Then choose a letter for the volume.

i had the same problem
 
ok i found a fix for another problem.

Problem: some windows dont appear. Example would me MSN messenger, where a single chat windows preview is blank, and clicking it loads nothing.

solution: right click the empty preview. and it fixes it.
