Can't Install Programs From Run DL Option In 7077
Not sure if anyone's reported this yet, but I did a clean install of 7077 on my backup computer and anytime I start an application download and select "run" from the download menu, it downloads the program but will not start it, I have to go back and save the file, and run the .exe from there.
Anyone else run into this and found a fix?

Some Programs Won't Run/install, Explorer Slow, Ect.
It was all fine until yesterday. I copied over a game from my laptop the night before (I just installed 7 on this computer recently, was copying over stuff from my laptop) and also finished installing World of Warcraft and not long after I turned off the computer. The next day I switched it on and didn't notice anything at first but some programs wouldn't run (Winamp would have a blank space where the music list normally is). I tried installing some virtual drive programs such as magic disc and power iso which I usually use for isos I rip onto the computer (I lost some discs before so I've been doing that recently) but the magic disc programs wouldn't run properly and power iso wouldn't progress during its installation. I tried installing some anti spyware like AVG and Avast (Spyware doctor detected 300 odd tracking cookies that appeared in the past week I installed, way more than it did with my vista laptop) but they would just either not respond (and then pop up with a message saying it took a while and wouldn't respond) or just not even progress when it was installing (on the part where it begins putting down files) Explorer itself is slow and takes a while to load when on "My computer" and usually wouldn't display USB drives. Once it did but it didn't actually open it up when I clicked on it and prevented the window from responding. I have used task manager to close all these down when they wouldn't. When I tried switching off my computer it just stayed on the logging off/shutting down screen. I tried leaving it overnight, expecting it to finally switch off but it only ende up going into sleep mode (and popped up with the log in screen when I waked it up) I have switched the computer off and on a few times but its still the same. I also got the disc I used to install and tried to repair it but it wouldn't boot from the disc when I switched on the PC and when I opened it up and ran the setup file, it came up with the usual "are you sure you want to run this" dialog and didn't do anything.

Can A Program's Own Settings Override The [Set Default Programs] Option ?
I just upgraded to Windows 7 and I'm trying to figure out how the "default programs" works. Basically, can an external program override the program set in the [Set Default Programs] option? For example, I installed a media application (KMPlayer) that does not show up in the [Set Default Programs] list. Now in the KMPlayer's preferences, there's a setting to associate file types with itself. But when I tried that, I noticed that the files still default to Windows Media Player. So can I assume that no external application can change the program associated with a file type unless explicitly done via the: + [Set Default Programs] or + [Associate a file type ... with a program] or the + [Open with...] options?

Most 32-bit Programs Won't Run In RTM
I've been using Win7 since the beta, and not once have I had this problem 'till now (and I've used builds 7000, 7100, 7229, and 7260 without issues). But starting with build 7600.16384 (I have the RTM now (7600.16385)), I've been having trouble getting 32-bit programs to work. At first they were slow to start--now they won't start at all. Originally I could work around it by running them apps as Admin w/compatability for Vista SP2, but now even that doesn't work. 64-bit apps startup fine (Photoshop, IE8, any built-in app, etc.), but anything 32-bit will just sit in the Task Manager all day, with the memory usage never above 3-4MB, and simply fail to start. No error messages, no abrupt termination, just nothing. The only exceptions have been FL Studio 8 and Steam (but Steam games won't run), both of which run perfectly despite being 32-bit. I can only last so long using IE and not being able to play any games.

Issue: Fresh Win7 Install; Cannot Run ANY Programs
I downloaded Windows 7 from MSDNAA from my school and burned it to a blank DVD (4.90GB I believe is the capacity). Everything seemed to work fine and the burn didn't seem corrupted even when I burned it at full speed, so please keep this in mind for the following issue. After I successfully installed Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit on my system, I ran into an issue. Certain programs will not open or execute at all, whether it be a setup file or even Internet Explorer 8. Windows Media Player opens sometimes, but bugs out too every now and then. This is hindering me because since this is a fresh install, that means I cannot begin to install drivers such as the latest Catalyst drivers for my HD 3870. Even if I open it as Administrator, it does nothing but show the usual "Processing" mouse animation spinning symbol and after a while, nothing shows up. I checked the task manager and I see it is still running, but since I don't see anything, I have to kill the process. Again, this happens with more than 50% of the Application files/Programs that I have tried and this is a fresh install of Windows 7. I have tried to re-install Windows 7 again to no avail. One weird error message I got was when I tried to open the sample "Wildlife in HD" video just to test it out: "Server Execution Failed". I don't know what else to try and right now I am using my laptop with Windows XP to use this forum since I can't even open my browser on my desktop. Is there a way to solve this problem? Sorry for my first lengthy post, but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible. And I think my specs should show below since I filled that part out....does it?

Bug: Gadgets Have Sticky Alignments Even When 'Align Icons To Grid' Option Is Unchecked
Windows 7 Build 7100. When right clicking on the desktop, click menu 'View' / 'Align Icons to Grid' to choose whether or not elements on the desktop should be aligned automatically or not. This option should also apply to the alignment behaviour of desktop gadgets, which have annoying "sticky" alignments when they are close to each other or the edge of the screen. Since users tend to group gadgets near one another, and near the edges of the screen, this is a particularly frequent problem. It is also an annoying one!

My Computer Freezes, Can't Access Any Drives Or Install Any Programs
Everytime I try to access My Computer to get to my C drive or another partition I have, nothing happens. Sometimes My Computer comes up white, sometimes it'll display my drives and DVD roms, but it only let me view my C drive the first time I booted 7. Also, I can't install Steam, Magic Iso, Magic Disc after installing AIM and Firefox just fine. Installs simply freeze. Also, I've been trying to shut down my system and it seems to be frozen on the Logging Off screen. AMD Phenom 2.4GHz 2GB Gskill ram GeForce 6800GT ECS Geforce7070-M motherboard.

Large Icon Option In Start Menu Do Not Apply To All Programs
Start menu customization allows for large icon mode yet doesn't apply to all programs. If you want us to get used to this new thing while 'stealing' classic from us at least make it readable.

Run Different Language Programs
How do i keep the OS in English, but run another program as a different language There should be an option to have a program always run as a set language I would like to be able to run an English, Japanese and Korean program side by side, not reset the computer just to run one app. I Know about applocal, but some times it does not cut it and the program fails to run properly. Windows should let me run a program from any country, not just one at a time.

Can Startup Programs Run As Administrator ?
I have a couple of programs (Logitech Setpoint is one) which need to run as administrator in order to work in some programs (e.g. Visual Studio 2005). They are set to run at start-up, however since I've set them to run as administrator, they don't run. Is there any way to get these to run at start up?

Dual Boot With XP Doesn't Provide Option
I created a separate partiton and installed Win 7 fine. It dual booted fine as well. I then renamed the old XP boot partition and this caused the PC to give NTLDR missing and wouldnt boot. So I reinstalled Win 7 as a custom install and it all boots fine into Win 7 without providing me a dual boot option. I am not too concerned about this as eventually I was going to go completely over to Win 7 anyway Question I have is 1) The old Win XP boot partition is viewable in explorer. Can I just reformat this and reclaim the space - I want to make sure that the PC is not looking for any files in that old partition 2) Can I delete the Windows.old folder as well

Sound Drivers = Only Able To Run Programs As Admin
When I install the drivers for my HTO Striker 7.1 and restart to complete driver installation, suddenly, I can only run anything if I right click and Run as Administrator.. not even Firefox. Its annoying to have to get the gray User Access Control screen everytime I want to do something, as well as having to right click and left click just to start a program. HTO Striker 7.1 drivers on their site are listed as being good for Windows 7 x64. What could be happening here? Has anyone had this problem?

The Ribbon Interface Will Be In ALL Programs That Run On Win7
It's called the Scenic Ribbon and you can already see it in Paint, Wordpad and Movie Maker. The Ribbon originated in Office 2007 and has been improved even more in Office 2010. Untill now it has only been a part of Office however starting with Windows 7 the Ribbon will be a part of the Operating System. That means any programmer will be able to add the ribbon to his program instead of the current menu bar. Microsoft envisions a future where all programs running on Windows will have a ribbon instead of the menu bar.

Run 16-bit Programs From A Command Line
Since DOS 2.0 I have written and collected command line programs. Many do things not possible without command line support. Such as run an Assembler and editor from a .BAT file (I use A86 if you want to search for it) to created and run handy small .COM programs. But none of these 16-bit programs work on my Vista 64-bit. A friend has the same computer I have, but with Vista 32-bit and he verified a few of my .COM programs worked fine. ? Would I be able to install Win 7 32-bit and run them?

After Setting Software Restriction Option, Can't Boot Into Explorer
Windows7 RC. Go to Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy/Software Restriction Policies Set Security Level to Disallowed Set Enforcement : Apply s/w restriction policies to the following: choose ALL SOFTWARE FILES Do a reboot, and you only get as far as the logon screen. After logon, Windows Explorer will fail to load. My way out of this is to boot the installation DVD and do a system restore.

Selecting Correct Network Option During Win 7 Install
When installing windows 7 on my new computer, I will have the choice of Home Network, Work Network, and Public Network. I will have a standalone computer with the 2WIRE router, connecting to AT&T DSL. If my memory is correct, somewhere I had read that when installing Vista, it recommended that you select Public Network, even though it was a standalone computer, connected thru a router. Any suggestions and/or comments applicable to windows 7 would be very much appreciated.Â

No Dual Boot Manager / Option Screen After Win7 Install
I've installed 64bit win 7 on a 2nd partion of my main drive running vista 64bit. The installation all went smoothly and loaded into win 7. But when restarted I did't get a windows boot manager screen so i could pick if I wish to load Vista or Windows 7, instead my system just loads straight into Vista. Do I have to enable my system to be able to see the Windows 7 install?

Can't Install Myst 64 Bit Programs, And Some 32 Bit
Just like it says, I have some (several) programs that can install in either 32bit or 64bit as well as I have straight up 32bit and 64bit programs only that some install but most do not. Why is this? This is how it always goes, every time too. I start the installation process and it starts doing it's thing. All looks good so far, as the installer takes you through to each next step, like normal. And then it comes! After a couple of three of these first things (which all seem like they are working normal) all of a sudden, I see that it wants to install something quite normal, a "MicroSoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (64)" file/program/whatever and as the little green process line grows it gets almost to the end, and sits there for a few seconds and then I get THIS popup error message: http://www.md-arts.com/scrn/64bit_Windows7_InstallingError_Cxx2005.JPG Is there something I can do to fix this? I have even tried downloading this file off the net and installed it, but it never seems as though it did any good, since I still get these same problems.

Cannot Run .Net Framework Related Programs (Visual Studio Crashes)
I have just received a brand new Dell XPS 435 PC. I have just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Installed all Windows Updates. There is a problem with .Net related programs. - I started by installing SQL Server 2005 x64 Client Tools (SQL Server Management Studio). The setup program crashed while installing the client tools. I checked the event log and there are errors reported by the .Net Runtime Optimization Service. I uninstalled SQL Server 2005. - Then I installed Visual Studio 2008. When I start Visual Studio, it crashes during the splash screen. - I found out about Aaron Stebner's .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool (http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8999004.aspx). I ran the tool and it reports that the .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 test fails. The log reports this error: [10/14/09,15:23:17] ****ERROR**** File C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv3.5Windows Presentation FoundationNPWPF.dll is not installed on the system (Let me know if you need the full log.) - There are a lot of errors in the event log. They are about mscorsvw.exe crashing and about the .NET Runtime Optimization Service failing to compile some files.

Win7 Won't Start Up, Blue Screens And No Option To Enter SAFE MODE
I recently installed Window's 7 RC to temporarily replace Vista. Everything has been fine for couple months, then I used a tried and true program I used to use on Vista called "Auslogics" to help improve system speed. I used Auslogics Degrag, memory optimizer, but ran into problems after running "Registry Defrag". The program restarted the computer, began to defrag the registry, and then crashed to blue screen, dumped memory, and promptly restarted itself. Problems:1. There is no option for safemode. Only "Automatically repair" (which doesn't work) , or start normally (which goes straight to blue screen after splash) 2. It will NOT: recover disk. 3. System Restore is apparently not enabled on hard drive, and I wouldn't know how to enable without getting to desktop. 4. Image Recovery also does not work.Please, if anyone has any suggestions, I need advice on where to go from here!
