comodo installed for me if your using 64 bit os you have to go to the web site and get the 64 bit one the install in compatible mode

O ok well thats good for you

but im running the 32bit version, and it just doesnt want to install at all, gets so far then stops and rolls back or something it says =/

Maybe it just doesnt like 32bit?

you got to right click the install file the chose troubleshoot compatiblity and works in vista then it will install trust me it works

i found something funny if you use disk management to shrink a volume on another harddrive comodo antivirus wont let it work you have to disable the antivirus then it will work

Windows live messenger can not open Firefox to access hot mail unless you run Firefox as admin.

Annoying!

It was saying rollback complete, but its all good now.

Thanks for that, that worked like a charm :toast:

Just to let ya all know that i installed Kanes Wrath and updated it, then played it with a m8 over Hamachi and it worked flawlessly :eek:

shocked the hell out of me ill tell ya, considering my m8 has problems with Hamachi with Vista 64, so im very happy

Had tons of problems with this then I did a reinstall and most of my problems went away and the only things left are customization gripes.

1) cant customize WMP as I like
2) cant customize wallpaper as I like natively in windows...I know there are plenty of 3rd party apps, but why have the customization just one or two steps away from being a legitimate alternative to 3rd party apps
3) The instant you pin something to the taskbar it leaves the start menu...
4) Somethings cannot be pinned to the taskbar i.e. anything in the control panel
5) cant turn off the UAC without the desktop apps going away... you CAN install the actual sidebar to circumvent this but what the hell was the point of dropping the sidebar? And isnt it strange to correlate the apps to the UAC?

pantherx12 · Jan 17, 2009

You right click the desktop and click personalize to change desktops.

Infact everything is on that one screen now.

I disagree with you on the fact that you cannot customize the desktop in W7 very well. For instance you cannot change "picture position" for individual pictures WITHOUT creating a theme for that particular picture. That is asinine. There are better 3rd party programs particularly http://www.johnsadventures.com/software/backgroundswitcher/ This has much more functionality and is probably better than anything MS can come up with on their own.

pantherx12 · Jan 17, 2009

Well that is hardly a bug then is it?

Windows has never had that type of functionality.

Mussels · Jan 17, 2009

asking for help here: using magiciso (instead of deamon tools) causes the system to hang on mounting images.

anyone got a fix/alternative mounting program?

(i'm using the x64 version. will try the x86)

I didnt say it was a bug I just said it was a gripe. And I am lamenting the fact that extra funcionality has been put into the customization of windows but is lacking.

When will beta close?

I know but this is the bug report thread, hence my confusion

I have installed Win7 32 bit as the sole OS on my old PC

Pentium 4 530 3.0Ghz
1GB Corsair TwinX PC-3200
X850 Pro 256MB AGP
80GB SATA HDD
Creative Soundblaster SE

So far, I have to say Im pretty impressed. It feels just as responsive as XP Pro did on it, and pretty much the same as Vista 64 bit on my current PC (see specs).

It is using about 35% RAM on idle, going up to 80% when playing COD4. The game plays just fine, only issue has been a bit of stuttering in the cut scenes between missions but I'd put that down to my Gfx and ARM before the OS. I might have top re-claim the other 1GB RAM I donated to my parents PC when I got my new one :laugh:

The only other thing that has annoyed me is when using iGoogle in IE8. There is a really bad lag between typing into the search bar and the letters appearing. It doesnt do this in the regular google search bar, or in any other browsers whether using iGoogle or not.

Mussels · Jan 17, 2009

i've had some issues with bluetooth recently, but only on one 7 PC. same headset and same bluetooth adapter work fine on another PC.

cause and solution unknown at present, getting off 7's generic drivers may help - i'll try that later.

LiveOrDie · Jan 17, 2009

i think there will be a beta 2 release

MAGMADIVER · Jan 17, 2009

I have been having problems with choppy and disjointed game performance in W7 with the Catalyst 8-11 & 8-12 drivers. You can get W7 Beta Catalyst drivers here: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894

Sorry to double post....THIS beta is set to expire in august 2009... MS said this is the only public beta but MS is as MS does and we will see what happens concerning new betas..또봐

Mussels · Jan 18, 2009

considering how stable this beta is, it may well be the last one.

Any and all problems on the four machines i'm testing on, all occur from 3rd party programs or drivers needing an update. I'm having zero troubles with the OS itself. Give it 6 months for the developers to update their programs/drivers, and MS to sort through all the bug reports and the final fixes should be all thats needed for the OS to go RTM.

ShadowFold · Jan 18, 2009

It's stable, as in doesn't crash or BSOD, but it has a few performance and hanging problems. It hangs when you move files around and I just reinstalled Vista and I get much higher average frames in all my games.

the only issues i've had was drivers - your games performance and 'hanging' problems could well be the same issues.

Did you try using only the drivers from windows update, as opposed to your own ones?

The main reason i had to uninstall it,was the wermgr.exe running 15+ times.I disabled windows error reporting but no joy.It looks nice n all but that problem was annoying,and seemingly unfixable.

have you just tried a reinstall? you seem to have had that problem fairly uniquely.
