Windows 7 BETA Problem/Bug Report

The problem with office was the disk - got a new iso and it works fine. I had to use a crack tho as it wouldn't accept my valid CD key, oh well.

Rolled back to vista, i don;t think it was a problem with the iso. Win7 was from the microsoft site and i got no errors when installing.
Just re-setting up vista and everything is working perfectly now. I'll wait till the final build of Win7 before i upgrade, or maybe even 'till the first service pack is out.

yeah - I have Open Office 3 running on mine with out issue, although to be fair I haven't used it extensively, just ran through soem basic opening/saving etc to see how it responded. First run was quite slow (probably doing set-up stuff), but thereafter ran just like on my Vista machine

I fixed my scroll problem....run chrome in Compatibility mode for Vista

That should fix it.


And for the others run your installers in Vista Compatibility mode...it should fix everything

i allready try'd compatibility mode it just would not work it even messed up my installer so i could not install anything i had to do a system restore to fix it im useing the 64 bit os are you
 
I have a problem, i can not get onto internet explorer from windows 7, but i can from winxp pro 32bit. i have it dual boot on my hdd in two partitions. the internet explorer just opens and says no connection, the icon on the right hand side on the bottom of the screen also says no connection, and it says there is no network in the network configurations tool. how do i fix this so i can get online in windows 7?
 
in windows experience index it shows my harddrive score 2.9 in vista its 5.9 whats up with that the os is on a 1 tb seagate 7200 rpm 32 meg cach drive why does it have such a low score
 
If the seagate in this article is your drive then maybe windows 7 has built-in intelligence to downgrade its experience index?:D

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives failing

Did you know about these drives failing?
 
has anyone try"d acronis true image 2009 on win 7 yet i like to know befor i try it
 
i wish they would have a map of the harddrive in disk defrager
 
any one got cod4 work cod5 works fine i get a PB erorr unknown windows api function 131132
 
yeah, my COD4 worked - some of the cut scenes are a bit stuttery but I think that was down to the hardware, not the OS. (its installed on my old PC)

However, I seem to have lost all sound and video playback. You Tube videos were starting up but slowing then stopping after a few seconds. I tried an .avi file and the same thing happened. I had loaded CCCP on it to watch a 720p episode of BSG, and it was fine then but a few days later (didn't really have it on in that time) I tunred it back on and it was in this state.
 
what os are you running ? because pb for cod4 wont work on win 7
 
Im on 32bit Win7. You know, I haven't tried multiplayer so PB hasn't kicked in for me yet. Im trying a sytem restore to see if I can fix my sound and video issues, if it doesn't I'll be starting from scrath. When i get it all working I'll try multiplayer
 
In order to get skype to work you have to download their latest Beta. Works great for me. Love the new layout.
 
there no hope for game that use this type of pb cod5 uses a new verison so it doesnt have this probelm

this is what pb team says

This is due to PunkBuster not supporting Windows 7, and we will not support Windows 7 until it is released to the general public for purchase. I'm sorry, but we do not support beta or release candidate operating systems.
 
What is the problem in supporting it early on? I dont understand it.
 
some were in thre rights it say they do support beta os, and i fould a new fix for the side bar updating it now
