    Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    Another thread for Windows 7 issues for Beta and above when they're released, since the last thread got derailed and closed by posting about a leaked RC version. Please don't derail this thread with the same carry on.

    One of the issues with daemon tools has been resolved. They've released version 4.30.4, which now has support for Windows 7 Beta and hopefully newer releases as well.

    No fixes with video stuttering on my laptop though. May have been an IGP issue since it has practically no DXVA support (old laptop, crappy Intel 945 chipset).

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    I've seen or had:

    - speaker icon in tray reporting no sound service running (and sounds works fine)
    - networking indicates a problem (similar to above) but you have full connectivity
    - switching theme/wallpaper can leave the gamma on 'high' (it gets 'stuck' doing the transisition sometimes)

    Considering I did an upgrade install from 7000->7100 i'm really impressed it works at all - i'd never normally do that but I was in a funny mood this morning

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    The most noticeable problem I've had so far has been with my X-Fi hissing (but hey, it's Creative!) in the 64-bit RC. I'll probably give the Vista drivers a try instead (but hey, it's Creative!) when I have a spare moment or three.
    I had some intermittent popping sounds coming out of my secondary monitor (over HDMI) too.
    Quite liking it otherwise.

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    Had no problems on my machine so far, installed on my housemates machine this morning and Windows Update decided to install some broken NIC drivers. That had me confused for a few mins, but got the correct drivers installed now and it's all good.

    One odd thing I've noticed is that on shutting down and booting up I get a kind of pop/boom sound from my speakers, similar to when I turn on/off the power to them at the plug, this didn't happen on Vista. I'm using the drivers that Windows 7 installed automatically (onboard audio), so might try installing the Vista drivers, but not big issue for me at the moment.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    I get that too with the 64bit RC.
    Only drivers i've installed myself are the ones for my TV stick.

    I have had the speaker Icon issue too though it seems to have sorted its self out now. I put mine down to using the: NGO Creative Modded Driver for SB Live! and Audigy I drivers for my seriously dated card. I did a reinstall and now all hunky dory.

    Have been messing with win 7 rc most of the day and am enjoying using it a lot

    ditto on the "pop-boom" sound, had it in the beta aswell.

    other than that all running ok i think, very impressed actually, feels much more stable than the beta.

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    i also have the "pop-boom" speaker sound when turning it on or off. i have the win7 beta 32-bit. I'm about to upgrade to the RC 64-bit.

    honestly, i thought it was my motherboard's integrated sound card doing it, but i guess if you all say its happening too, it might be the OS.

    i really don't mind it. It's not even an annoyance.

    It's most likely the driver - i've had that on XP too with integrated chipsets..

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    I upgraded my vista installation yesterday, was relatively painless. I've not had many issues so far at least not relating to hardware:

    Issues to date include:

    -incompatibility with stardock DRM thingy (bothered!)
    -McAffee security suite doesn't work (to be expected)


    Any recommendations for a software firewall? I'm going to go with AVG for virus guard since it is compatible with Win7.

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    Found another WMP12 related bug, probably particular to 945 chipsets again, playing back video with WMP12 sitting behind another application causes the top application to 'tear'. Could be a bug in the Z axis alpha-blending. Could be something else, I dunno. Most easily noticed when WMP12 window is maximised, and same with the application sitting on top of it.

    Re: Windows 7 Issues Mk. II

    My Core2 machine blue-screens quite regularly with the 64bit RC, so much so that I've gone back to Vista.

    It works perfectly on my AMD based HTPC though, and I'll likely install the 32bit version on my occasional use HTPC, which uses old hardware - and Athlon XP chip for a start.
