Windows 7 BETA Problem/Bug Report

[Mussels]

its just a timesaver for them. PB has enough issues on its own, without beta OS's screwing things up.

yer ture but cod5 pb runs fine on windows 7 beta why not change the pb to that type and all things would work

I just found a glitch/bug, but it might just be because I'm running Windows 7 through a VM. Look at the processor speed, it's only about 1Ghz off. Lol. I wish it was 4.23Ghz.

 

[LiveOrDie]

lol you should get a good rating for that speed

Has anyone here tested Horizontal Span between two monitors on Windows 7?

Did they finally bring that back or does it still not extend the Taskbar/Application to the second monitor?

(Windows installer open countless time when installing some programs like itunes and then gets stuck on installing.

I had a problem with the windows installer getting stuck and shutting down, here's the fix they sent me:

An issue with the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) client in Windows 7 beta is causing Explorer and some MSI-based installers to stop working properly.

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Accessories.

2. Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. In the User Account Control window, verify that Program name is Windows Command Processor, and then click Yes.

3. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type or paste the following text at the prompt:

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f

Press Enter to install the solution.

If "The operation completed successfully" displays, close the "Administrator: Command Prompt window" to complete this procedure. If "ERROR: Access is denied" displays, repeat this procedure from the top, making sure you clicked Run as administrator in step two.

[LiveOrDie]

download a trial of norton 2009 and scan your computer and remove any viruses you fine, than do a Disk Defrag and the check your hdd for errors, right click on the drive you what to check and click on properties and tools and check now, and click both boxs and if its your drive with windows next time you restart it will check it.

Alternatively, You can download AVG Free. It's a free anti-virus program and works awesomey with Windows 7 Beta and I've been using it for five years without an infection on both my rigs, catches everything. My last daily scan took 41 minutes for 1,103,359 objects. I put a link to the download below and posted a screenie of my scan results. Also as Live or die stated, defrag and check for errors.

So if this was already addressed im sorry, I looked through 3 pages.
I cannot get any Video drivers installed in Windows 7 I am running an ATi 4870.

The Windows 7 64 drivers stall at enumerating install files or similar.

The Windows Vista 64 drivers stall at installing Catalyst indefinitely.

I ran them in administrator and ran a driver cleaner to remove all parts of drivers. I cannot get them to install. I still get good fps in games, but I have a projector and monitor and the Windows 7 driver is less than perfect for this. Thanks in advance for any help anyone may have!

 

[Pyeti]

Not so much a bug but is there a way to expand your start menu so you aren't restricted to that little column? Ive searched but can't find a way to do it.

Lost feature: No more "Fix" photo while previewing that used to allow cropping.

I have and have not had success. Windows update does not even give me a ATi driver to download, it did on my laptop for its video card (Nvidia 6250)

Hey GSG...I'm running HD 3870 and you can get the driver and beta catalyst software from ATI here:

http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=39069

Not sure if the windows 7 64 drivers you're talking about are from that link, if they are sorry, I had no trouble with installation.

EDIT: If they are the same, maybe you're getting the windows installer hang bug...that happened to me on another install and I posted the REG fix Microsoft sent me on post # 232 on this page.

The information in this article applies to the following configuration(s):

* ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series GPUs
* ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series GPUs
* ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series GPUs
* ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4000 Series GPUs
* ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3000 Series GPUs
* ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 2000 Series GPUs

the ATI drivers unpack to C:\ati when the installer starts. you can simply tell device manager to look there, and it finds the files.

worked for me on all ATI drivers, not just video ones. (my media PC)

C:\ATi (Default) does not work for me or the people on that form, I will give it a shot form a user folder and see if it works.

Edit: Its a no go, It still hangs @ "Enumerating source mdeia for installable packages..." (Under Analyze)

you missed my point. you dont run any installer - you tell device manager to search the folder, and it gets the drivers directly.

Gottcha, that did work thanks. But I still have no catalyst, and I run a projector and a lcd, which I think could be easier. I can wait tell another release I guess.

catalyst worked for me somehow, although i cant remember how i did it. But thats how i got the drivers. I'm on 8.11, if that helps.
