Sometimes on my many windows 7 pcs when I go to computer or network nothing shows up and the side has the endless magnifying glasses searching, I can still access a network or drive by typing in the location or drive letter, logging out sometimes fixes this, but mainly have to restart the pc? This a windows 7 bug?
View 4 RepliesRecently, I was on my computer (A Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5974. Approx 2.5 years old) when it started to shut down with the famous blue error screen. As annoying as this was, it wasn't a big deal. No, the big deal started when my computer started acting up. It took longer and longer for it to boot to the desktop, sometimes even a half hour because I had to keep manually turning it off in on in order to get a response. Now my computer won't even go past the "Starting Windows" screen.

The IT department has decided to install windows 7 on a few of the computers at the campus library. These machines equipped with Windows 7 already feel MUCH faster and more reliable. We now have the benefit of being able to run the aero interface now. So, you can see how much of a positive difference this is.There is one detail that annoys the heck out of me, that I have noticed on all types of computers able to display aero, regardless of the brand or the speed of the computer. This has to do with the fade in / fade out animation that that aero uses. When a window gets created and fades in, the "blur" of the transparent glass effect is not enabled until the last few frames of the animation. This makes it look like the last few frames are skipped, giving the window a "jump" effect, because the glass theme blur is not enabled until the last few frames of the animation, much unlike Vista.The exact same thing happens for the fade out animation, except this "jump" or "jerk" happens during the first frames, because the glass in the titlebar is unblurred, then the rest of the transition happens. This effect makes Windows 7 feel buggy and cheap, and detracts from the GUI experience that I have expected to at least be like Vista's, or better.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two Dell laptops, both running Windows 7. I have both set up on a HomeGroup and have enabled media sharing on both as well. Network discovery is turned on for both, file and printer sharing is on, password protected sharing is off. Under WMP, I have Media Streaming on. None of my folders are hidden.
For this discussion, things with Laptop A are fine, but Laptop B is causing me some problems. I have two main issues and fear they may be related: 1. From Laptop B, I can see Laptop A in the homegroup and I can see it in WMP. I can access all of Laptop A's files and play them back with no problem. However, from Laptop A, I can see Laptop B in the Homegroup, but I can not see it in WMP. I can navigate to certain folders in explorer and see the files, but I can not play them, even though I have all sharing functions that I can think of turned on. (I do have McAfee running, but disabled the firewall in case that was the problem. It didn't help)
Also, I have a DLNA compliant device on the network that I can stream music to using the "play to" feature in WMP. From Laptop A I can play to the network speaker just fine. I can not from Laptop B. I should add that I can "see" the device in WMP from Laptop B, but when I queue a track to play, it just hangs up as if it can't communicate any further with the networked speaker.
I 'got' windows 7 home premium 64 bit edition, went through the install, got to completing installation, then just as it finished it told me some error involving it being unable to do something with a certain piece of system hardware. I don't remember the exact message.Now it's just restarting and telling me that windows failed to install, and that I should press ok to restart.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had Windows 7 64bit Pro on my computer for around 10 months. I use an Upgrade version through my University that works exactly like a normal copy of Windows 7. I have had no problems with it until now. When I start it up normally and choose Windows 7 (I also have Windows XP pro on my computer) and after about 10 seconds my computer automatically restarts. I tried the Repair My Computer option 3 times and the Last Known Good Configuration twice with no success. When I start it up in Safe Mode, 7 works for about three seconds and then goes to a Blue Screen before restarting.I honestly do not know what is wrong with my computer. I have checked all of the internal connections and there doesn't appear to be anything unplugged or messed up with them in general.

Here are some of my PC stats:
HP G60-535DX
- Windows 7 Home Premium SP1(64bit)
- Pentium Dual Core T4300 @ 2.10GHz
- 3.00 GB RAM
A few shortcuts, such as Win+Home, don't work.In addition, a few animations aren't being displayed - a program being launched from the taskbar, the taskbar mouseover "glow" that follows the cursor, and the taskbar window preview fade-in effect. Others, such as opening/closing windows, windows being minimized, and Win+Tab still display.* All items are checked in SystemPropertiesPerformance - Visual Effects.* I've done some theme editing, but the problem still persists after switching to the default Windows 7 Aero theme (or any other).* Latest graphics card drivers are installed.

Now I have the usb stick all set up perfectly and I know it works because it begins to boot. unfortunately it does begin and says Darwin for a split second but then it resets to the HP logo and restarts again. I am able to switch the directory to boot from so my Windows 7 side is unaffected. But I cannot get the OSX side to start. I have been able before I choose the boot site to have on the bottom like a command prompt it seems like where it just says BOOT: and I can type what ever I like into it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis problem has come back several times after reformatting. When opening or closing a window, the animations that would take miliseconds suddenly take 10 seconds. I can see the program running perfectly fine as it loads, but I am unable to interact with it. I then go into some games like Civilization 5 or Recettear and the animations that would be quick take about 10 times as long to execute. This did not become an issue until Mid May, and Reformatting delays the bug from coming back. the only recent additions in hardware are a replacement motherboard(old one broke, ram difficulties), and a new CPU fan. Flash videos also work just fine
I am running the following:
Intel Core i5
ATI 5870
8gb RAM
60gb SSD
500gb HDD
ASROCK P55 Pro
650 PSU
I'm talking about more than just making them transparent. I was hoping to find a way to change the start menus shape to whatever I design and have the window open/close/minimize/maximize animations be more like a Mac (the way it looks more like the window is being sucked away, rather than just disappear).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI successfully increased the size of my partition (from 24,36GB to 34,18GB) and restored my image again.
Windows 7 is up and running again, though the amount of space left, is still identical as it was before increasing the partition.
Windows Computer management shows (graphically) the new size (now 34.18GB) where in the same screen, just above the graphical presentation, the old partition size is shown (24,36GB). The latter is also show if I use explorer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, I'm not exactly sure what I did. I was clearing up some space on my computer after using the Norton Removal Tool to get rid of this Norton trial popup that came up everytime I booted my computer. Now, after it told me to restart, it seems to be stuck in an endless boot cycle that resets itself after showing the Windows logo. I've since tried running startup repair, which freezes as it shows the progress bar for 'Windows is loading files'. Safe mode will not work, either. It just sends it back into the boot cycle. Not sure what to do at this point. My computer came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, so I don't have any startup discs.

After a while it started freezing all the time so I decided to clean it up. It had tons of dust that I removed and I even applied thermal paste MX3 to the processor. Everything went well for a few months but now the freezing has restarted. Basically, I turn it on and it freezes while doing small stuff like opening firefox or steam whithin a minutes.
Normally the screen goes black but the lights in the tower stay on and the fans keep working. I have to manually reboot and then it just works normally with no more freezings. This is a temperature scan that I made just before one of the freezes:Sometimes a blue screen appears and the following error is issued:Assinatura do problema:Nome do Evento de Problema: BlueScreenVers�o do SO: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3ID de Regi�o: 2070Informa��es adicionais sobre o problema:BCCode: 116BCP1: FFFFFA8003DF94E0BCP2: FFFFF88003A93408BCP3: 0000000000000000BCP4: 0000000000000002OS Version: 6_1_7601Service Pack: 1_0Product: 768_1I have all the lastest drivers installed.
I have a Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive (External).I use it 99.9% of the time on my Windows 7 64bit computer to store pictures/videos and backup important files.It was working fine until I plugged it into a MACINTRASH to backup files from that computer.It was a simple copy and paste from the MACINTRASH to the External HDD.After copying the files from the MACINTRASH, I plugged it back into my PC.My PC no longer recognizes my external HDD. I unplugged the power, plugged it back in.Same with the USB cable. Rebooted. Then my computer wouldn't reboot and windows did its automatic self repair. Nothing.I unplugged EVERYTHING and left it that way for about 30 minutes. I plugged EVERYTHING back to my computer and turned it on.
Windows booted up fine. I plugged in the external HDD and windows had that little icon telling me it was installing drivers. I was excited to think that it finally would recognize my external HDD.Of course, it didn't work. The HDD does not show up in my computer. It does show up in Device Manager and Disk ManagementDevice MangerUnder Disk Drives it lists it only as "WD" My other drives it has a nice long name like "WD 7500AAK External USB Device" Under properties it tells me Volume information for the disk cannot be found. (The very first time I did that prior to the reboot it said there was 0MB of space on it). It claims the device is working properly Disk ManagementAt first this said that I must initialize my disk. Now it doesn't even show up anymore. I have no idea what to do anymore.

I have windows 7 and internet explorer eight and an at&t modem hooked up directly to the computer, the status bar says it has full internet connection and the specs of that look fine but the internet is kind of slow, not my biggest concern. My main problem is that it won't play videos without making it choppy and hard to see even after a video is loaded completely it still lags and won't play correctly. Pretty much anything that is animated and over the internet is garbage; internet games, ads, even text comes up slow.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had windows vista 32 bit earlier. Then I got windows 7 professional upgrade in trial period. I didn't notice how it happened. Of course it must be my mistake. Now when i boot from windows 7 it shows 64 bit and in vista it shows 32 bit. The system asks before booting which one to choose. It's today only that I have installed but I am not facing any problem as such except that i need a product key within 30 days. Should i leave as it is or uninstall vista somehow. Would i be able to reboot my system using the 32 bit vista CD?
