All Programs Not Working Properly
I am having problems with all the programs I have tried thus far. Both Firefox and IE crash after a couple of minutes use, as does iTunes, Windows Media Player and I also tried Elder Scrolls: Oblivion as well. All 'stop working' and the computer returns to dektop.
I am running Windows 7 RC x64.

Start Search Programs And Files Not Working Properly
Its been happening ever since I installed Windows 7. For example, When I click Start, type "CC" in the search box, the Start menu displays what I intend to start (CCleaner) but when I press enter I get this: Its acting completely wierd! On top of that, when I right click the entry, I get a menu which is expanded towards the left awkwardly. I also recall that I have unchecked "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties." in the properties of my Windows 7 boot drive. And since the programs are installed there, I think the problem might be related. I have checked it again but it dosen't have any effect!

AMD X2 Not Reporting Or Working Properly
Ok, this is going to seem odd. Installed 7.7000 32 and have had no problems, until last night when I realized something was amiss. In the task manager, (and performance monitor) the system is only reporting one core. I installed amd's cpuinfo and it too says that there is only one processor (0) on the system. To make matters more confusing, the Device Manager says there are indeed two instances of the AMD X2 5000+ Processors installed and working properly. I tried to do a quick "upgrade drivers online" but it just reported that everything was fine. AMD's website doesnt seem to have any drivers (other than for XP/2003 x64). I thought 7 was supposed to handle mutlicore better, but am i missing something?

CD/DVD Drive Not Working Properly
Windows 7 seems to freeze and crash when I input a CD or a DVD in my Dual-Layer CD/DVD RW-drive. I've checked the drivers, which windows update says is up to date, and tried with lots of different CDs and DVDs, just to check if the disc in question was broken. This is really problematic as I dont have a spare DVD drive anywhere. Anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it/did you fix it?

Dvd Player Not Working Properly
I installed Windows 7 yesterday, and for some reason, my dvd player isn't working correctly. I checked the drivers, and it says they are up to date. Not that I can find any for download anywhere though. I have a Sony Optiarc DVD-RW AD-7203S, if that helps. This is what it says on the device manager, "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)". I don't think this is the doing of a virus, since I've scanned my computer twice and not found anything. Is this something I can fix or do I need to install Vista again?

Brightness Tuning Not Working Properly On HP 6735s
Fresh install of Windows 7 64 bits on a HP 6735s computer with AMD X2 and ATI  Radeon HD 3200. No problem for installation. Tuning of the screen brightness is hazardous. It does not work much of time, every time I try to put the brightness to the maximum it returns to the low value. But after a while ( a few minutes, about 15 ...) it seems to work: brightness comes up to maximum ! Any idea ?

Dell USB Card Reader Not Working Properly
I have a Dell XPS Studio 435T that was running Vista Home Prem. 64 bit. My card readers were labeled G:, H:, I:, and J: and were there when I got the machine. C: and D: are the Dell Vista Home Prem. 64 bit OS and the Dell Restore partition, E: and F: are my DVD drives. These drives always appear. The system was built early May and was the A07 BIOS. When I needed to read an SD card, I plugged the card into the proper slot, nothing happened? Discovered the drive was NOT on Explorer nor COMPUTER desktop icon when double clicked. I have a Canon printer with card slots, put the card in the printer after I turned it on and I can read the card, so it isn't the card (unless the 435T's slot can't read 8GB SD cards). I don't get any errors when starting the system and nothing apparent in the Event Viewer. I called Dell figuring they'd be aware of this problem and have a suggestion. Wrong, they claim it isn't a common problem and is either a h/w problem or I 'did something' to the system that caused this. Suggested fix was to restore the system to the shipped state and I was not too happy about that. The Rep. then agreed to get on my system and look at it. I showed him the drives and the Device Manager that had an 'Unknown Device' and that it had no driver. I showed him that when I tried to update the drive it said I had the correct driver. I deleted that device and then had Device Manager search for changes and it found the same 'Unknown Device'. Now the Rep. thought I had a driver problem and proceeded to re-load the Intel Chipset drivers. I think I did replace those with more recent ones, but I let him. It installed INSTANTLY and the rep. said it meant I had the drivers installed... Checked the drives again, not there. Next step as for me to shut-off the system and restart into the BIOS screen and RESET the BIOS to the factory default. OK, but when the system booted, didn't do anything for the problem. Now the Rep. asked if I could open the case and check the cables to the reader bar. This was after he came back on-line after checking what to do next. By this time I decided I wanted to try something, I have a USB single card reader. I put the SD card into it and inserted it into the card readers USB connector. It found the device, although it didn't assign a drive? Put that same device into the USB connectors behind it and it had the same results but the Rep. was now convinced I had power to the card reader and wouldn't need to open the case. I then used a real USB Flash drive, put that in the card bar and it worked and could be read (and the Rep. wanted to connect and open the flash drive to be sure, which I allowed). So, the Rep. wants to REPLACE the h/w. From the reports I've seen, this is a waste of time. His response was he's never seen other reports of this failure and my only other choice is to restore Vista to the shipped state. So I OK'ed the h/w replacement. I know I've seen the drives as recently as 2 weeks ago. I was surprised one day when I opened Explorer and saw additional drives and then determined they were the card slots. As suddenly as they appeared, a few days later they were gone. Dell eventually replaced the device, cable from motherboard to it, and even the motherboard. In all cases, replacing that component had the card slots reappear on boot, only to disappear sometime later. This had been ongoing since July when I first discovered the problem. Only after I installed Win7 was the true problem discovered. I had a random BSOD under Vista with DVD Flick. Not often, but it happened. All I had to do was re-boot and it worked fine. Assumed it was a memory problem. After installing Win7 and booting after a BSOD from DVD Flick Win7 reported a USB device was not working properly and showed a list of USB devices. The suggestion, unplug and re-plug the device and if it didn't fix it, replace the device. Well, looking in Explorer, the card slots were gone. Unplugged the cable and put them back in (case had to be opened to do this) and booted, problem was gone. I've since removed DVD Flick and the problem has not come back. So, the question is why wasn't the USB port working properly? I assume an initialization problem, and I see a HOTFIX was just released for Nvidia systems with 4GB's of memory and USB devices stop working so I wonder if the USB drivers could be at fault here?

Programs Won't Open Properly
OS: Win 7 HomeP 64bit Recently Installed programs: Dragon Agerigins/DX update I installed those both last night and played with no issues. Now today I turn on my PC and some programs won't open properly. My browser(Chrome) works(more on this later) and a few others do as well, but things like GameSpy Comrade, and Dragon Age, and Crysis 32/64bit will not open properly. When I click to open it loads for a bit than the program freezes, or it loads than does nothing. In both cases the program shows up in the task manager processes. If the program freezes it shows up in the task manager as running. Solutions I've tried: Restarting the computer Virus scan(No results) Can anyone give me some ideas? Also chrome opens 3 times in the processes but I only have one window and one tab open. Is this normal?

ATI Mobility Xpress 200M Drivers Not Working Properly
I have an Acer Aspire 3650 laptop with an ATI Mobility Xpress 200M integrated video card. When Windows 7 automatically update the video drivers and reboot the system, I don't get video signal. I can connect my laptop to a LCD screen and get video, but at a very high resolution (something about 1440x???) so I guess the drivers set my screen resolution too high to get any image on my screen. I tried changing the resoltion using that LCD screen but even setting it to 800x600 doesn't make my laptop screen to work. BTW, ATI beta drivers package doesn't seem to work... Any ideas?

Search Programs And Files Not Working
It used to work, but stopped, and now I can't get it to work. When you search for wordpad for example, it returns a list of: Programs If you click on Programs is says These files can't be opened Your internet security settings prevented on or more files from being opened I don't think this is an ie issue, but I reset IE, and my start menu all defaults I also rebuilt my index. I also tried to add the c:usersallusersstartmenu to my list of searched files, but can't. When you try to add it from the advanced section of the index utility, you can only select my name, default and public - the all users is not listed.

Computer Not Shutting Down Properly
I have a dual boot computer running Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 RC. I recently built a new computer for my wife and loaded it with just Windows 7 RC pending delivery of the full retail version in October. Both computers have a similar problem. Sometimes - but not always - after shutting down the computer using the Start>Shut Down button it appears to shut down but has actually gone into a deep sleep with a blank black monitor and will not wake up no matter what keyboard buttons you press. It will also not reboot when you hit the computer power button. The only way you can switch the computer off is to hold the computer power button down for about 10 seconds - then press it again for a normal reboot.

Vista Work Properly, Win 7 No, On Same Hardware
on my pc with Vista Home Premium I installed in dual-boot Windows 7 RTM on a dedicated partition. While Vista works perfectly for two years, never a blue screen, never crashes, W7 does not want to work. Gave me now a blue screen error, now another one. Then I tried to install it, leaving only the original Ram removing the RAM added by me, I disconnected the USB stick, and everything worked beautifully. I left the PC on for a whole day installing programs, antivirus, various tools, all ok! The day after I entered the second bank of memory and the problems begin: Errors "PCI Express", Pc locked, BSOD frequently. Why with the same hardware Vista is practically perfect and with W7 crashes? I downloaded the drivers from the mainboard site, from the site of the video card, but not useless.

DVD Drive Not Properly Recognized In Explorer
I installed Windows 7, 64 bit last week as a dual boot on a system with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ @ 2800 MHz processor, 2048 MB of RAM, and an nVidia nForce 560 chipset. I have two internal hard drives and two USB ones attached. XP Pro is on the other partition. The DVD drive type is ATAPI, model HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H62N After installing I thought the DVD drive flamed out. It spins when I put a disk in, and the title shows in Explorer, but clicking on the drive link in the left column leads to disaster. A green bar moves like a snail across the address field. It never completes. Contents of the drive never appear. When I try to close the window, it hangs. Task Manager is never able to end that task. Sometimes the option to log off on the preliminary screen for Task Manager works, but more often I end up forcing the system off and doing a hard reboot. Explore seems to remain stuck on whatever drive it was in when I activated the G: link. I thought the drive had died and was on the verge of ordering a new one when my friendly repairman suggested that I purchase a laser lens cleaner and run that before ordering. When I got the cleaner, it did not run as I'd been led to believe. Using the G:Winclean in Run hung the computer. While I was rebooting, I popped into XP. To my astonishment, the utility autobooted and ran. Then I stuck a program disk in and the drive ran flawlessly. When I booted back to 7, nothing had changed. The drive did not work. I went to Device Manager and uninstalled the drive, then rebooted and let it reinstall. No change. I clicked on the Update Driver button, and learned that it has the latest drivers. I just put in a data disk that works in XP. After I let it spin a couple of minutes, I clicked to open the drive G. On the first try, Drive H opened. When I clicked on G again, the contents panel shows desktop.ini (found in C:Users|MeAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsBurnBurn)  as being ready to burn. How that file got there baffles me. I sure didn't put it there! Ejecting the disk avoided the need to do a hard reboot. Inserting another data disk has the same results. A commercial music disk is not recognized at all, and is ejected. Now what?

Samsung BlackJack II Drivers Will Not Install Properly
Alright so, I just got a new computer yesterday and it just so happened to have Windows 7 64-Bit on it. I am a new user, that in a few days has switched from XP to 7. I own a Samsung BlackJack II, which I have done countless modifications to, and now, I cannot seem to sync it up, let alone, connect it to my computer. When I plug it in, via USB. It worked the first time, synced it and everything with Windows Mobile Device Center, but then when I unplugged and replugged it in, driver's were corrupt(obviously), and tried uninstalling it all, and then reinstalling them all, drivers and WMDC, and I get a little notification that informs me that the drivers were unsuccessfully installed. Which is no longer making any sense to me... At all! lol, so I was wandering could you guys help me out here? I'm new to Windows 7 and I hope that this Community, gives me a lot of insight, and information to get back on my feet.

HP Photosmart Printer Is Not Properly Compatible When Networked
I'm using Windows 7 beta 64-bit. I have a Photosmart 2575 All-in-One, and when connected over the network installing the drivers is difficult. Windows can see it on the network, but cannot automatically install it and shows you the list of drivers Windows can install. The 2500 series driver is not there. I tried using HP's installer for Vista 64-bit, and all seemed to go well until the installation tried to detect the printer on the network and failed. So, I tried again to install it using Windows and chose the 2600 series driver and everything appears to work. Even so, something is wrong since the HP installer won't work and the printer isn't really a 2600 series.
