Super Bar Keeps On Flashing
Sometimes I don't know how this happens but when I visit certain site or browse though them my superbar keeps on flashing. So does the top part of the browser or window where the title is stated. Does anyone know why this happens?

Live Dual Programs On Task Bar
I do not like having my programs "group" themselves in the taskbar as I do not run 100 things at once. Since I turned off this option I now have (2) applications running when running Live Messenger. As seen in the picture the (2) programs are "linked" as one when you rollover and use AeroPeek. It appears the left side program is actually a Windows Live application of sorts...and the right side window is of course Live Messenger. I found this annoying personally and am wondering if A) Is it possible to have this go away via an option somewhere if not.... B) Is this a final design decision by MS relating to Windows 7? I think the concept of the windows live application being there for quick access to all things Passport is a good concept I just don't know/want that program cluttering my taskbar. Edit: I've found via another post running Messenger in compatility mode with older windows (Vista SP2) fixes the double programs issue..but still am curious is this dual program is a design choice or bug.

Adding Folder And Drive Shortcuts To Task Bar
On XP, I would put shortcuts to my different hard drives and folders on the taskbar for quick access. Seems like Windows 7 task bar doesn't let me do this and only allows me to put program files only (yes task bar is unlocked). is there a way to add hard drive and folder short cuts?

Task Bar On Top, Start Menu Is Always Full Screen Height
I prefer my Task Bar across the top of the screen, rather than at the bottom. I also like it to autohide. This is my preference. This seems to work okay but for one thing. When I click the Start button the start menu expands to the full height of the screen, making the thing I'm most likely to want to click on ("All Programs") as far away from my mouse as is possible! I've been told by various fanboys not to crave the Classic start menu any more, as clearly I am a dinosaur for wanting that. Fair enough, I'm trying to use what's given to me by Windows 7. Is there a setting or trick that will allow my Start menu to be only as high as it needs to be? Even if it's only half the height of the screen that will be a relief. And don't say I should move my Task Bar to the bottom, that's not gonna happen.

Task Scheduler Won'T Run Task With Idle Condition
When I schedule a task to run Disk Cleanup with a one minute idle condition the task does does not run successfully and provides the following run result. The Task Scheduler service has asked the task to run. (0x41325) If I manually run the task or remove the idle condition the task runs and completes successfully. Why won't the task start with an idle condition?

Flashing The Bios
i never flashed bios before and have recently noticed there is an update on the Acer web site. The bios mine is running on at the minute is R01-B3 and the new one is R01-B4. Is it worth updating to the new one? Will Win 7 take to it? What will be the benefits of the newly released bios over the one I have? How do I go about doing it and are there any safety precautions I could take so I can roll back incase I F it up?

Screen Flashing
I'm currently running a GeForce 7900 GT/GTO card that I've never had problems with. I updated the drivers for Windows 7 from NVIDIA's site. However, whenever I go to switch display settings, open a video, open a picture, or just about anything else graphically intense (including start-up) my screen freaks out. The screen will go a solid color (of whatever the background is), get lines through it, and then start flashing. Then after 10-20 seconds (or whenever the program I was trying to run is finished) it will revert back to normal. I can run Aero just fine. I can run normal programs such as the internet browser, control panel, etc. fine as well. It's just whenever I try changing my display settings or running a video, opening a picture, etc. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the problem? I've run GPU-Z and my card isn't overheating either I don't believe.

Flashing Windows
I am using Windows 7 RC 7100 x86 and im wondering if this is a known bug: Randomly whichever my currently opened window is, it will disappear revealing whatever is behind it, just long enough to notice it. I just reinstalled Windows 7 RC yesterday and installed all my programs yesterday as well so It would be hard to find the program causing the problems. (assuming its a program causing the problems) Is this a common bug in RC? I have the latest RTM leak so I might just install that and hope it gets rid of the problems, but that's another days work so that's more of a last resort. As for system restore, I would have no idea when to go back to. Any suggestions?

Flashing Taskbar
Has anyone noticed the flashing taskbar problem? I don't know how regularly it happens, but usually whilst browsing the internet with IE8 or Firefox 3 the taskbar suddenly flashes. When it stops flashing I'm left with blacked out pin-up icons as well as the time and notification area. It's a bit weird! I'm guessing it's a gpu problem, either incompatibility or a code inconsistency between W7 and the Intel GMA965, but I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.

I found this problem in 7000 and 7052 builds.

Stop Taskbar Items From Flashing
Is there any way to stop taskbar items from flashing yellow and begging for attention until I click on them? This is particularly with Live Messenger. I usually have Messenger and my browser side by side so I can see the conversation without switching Windows. It is VERY distracting to have the icon constantly flashing everytime someone says something. The only way to stop it is to click on the messenger Window and click back! Who at MS thought this was a good idea??? There should at least be an option.

Dual Display And Desktop Flashing
Not sure of the proper place to log windows 7 bugs. If someone can let me know the best spot then I'll repost this there. Anyways here is my question / issue I'm having. Windows 7 RC x64 with dual displays. Monitor 1 (Dell 24' LCD) Monitor 2 (Sharp LCD TV) Monitor 2 is my television which is primarly used for running media center applications. When working on monitor 1 if I have several application in the task bar, for instance IE and a single full application running on monitor 2, for insance media player. When I mouse over the IE icon I am presented with pop up showing the running instances and the live preview. When I hover over the live preview, Monitor 1 correctly swaps to that application however Monitor 2 will show the desktop and not it's currently running application. As soon as I make my selection or mouse out Monitor 2 resumes it's running window normally. This is reproducable with any running app. The behaviour occurs as well if you reverse the order. Minor issue however very annoying when trying to watch Movies / TV on monitor 1 (as I've been told by my wife) Any tips or ways to have the second monitor not show the desktop?

Notification Area Message Flashing
I keep seeing messages flashing up and disappearing from the notification area. They occasionally pop up and stay, but not in the same way and other notification messages. When they do that they are asking me to turn on McAfee. I check McAfee and it is already on. Any thoughts?

Black Screen Flashing While Using Aero
when my windows 7 ultimate computer starts up, the screen flashes black, just for a second which is ok. But if i enable aero and use the aero effects then the computer screen flashes black for a second again, everytime i use any aero effect! e.g minimize, thumbnails, show desktop, open files. I upgraded from windows vista. my cousins also have windows 7 ultimate and they use the aero effects without any problems. their computer has A NVIDA G-Force, but not sure about the model, although it will be quite new because they bought their computer a week ago. is it because of my graphics card? i checked the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it said my graphics card is compatible. my graphics card is : VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Family WDDM, and i have a Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 @ 1.8Ghz(i've been meaning to overclock but my mobo's rubbish :$)

GeForce 6600GT AGP - Screen Flashing
Installed RC on an older system to try it. Guts are a Dell Optiplex GX270SMT (P4 2.4Ghz, 2Gb PC2700). Replaced the 210w power supply with a 500w, installed a XFX GeForce 6600GT 128mb AGP video card (which was working fine in another setup I had running Vista x64). Â RC installed fine (had to find some drivers for the SB Live! sound card but that works now) but the video would blank out and come back every few seconds. Tried installing the nVidia 185.85 WHQL drivers, but still got the flashing. Wiped out the RC install, did a fresh clean install, still got the flashing with the driver in the RC. This time I ran the update driver function and it installed a pre-release driver dated 4-2-09. This stopped the flashing. Â Then tried running Windows update as it showed there were some updates (non seemed to be hardware related though). After running the update process and rebooting the flashing returned. Uninstalled the updates and the flashing stopped. Then installed the TV software for my Compro VideoMate TV Gold+ card and the flashing returned. Uninstalled the software and the flashing stopped. Is it just that the 6600GT isn't up to running Win 7? I may try the 7600GT 512mb AGP I had replaced the 6600GT with in the Vista x64 setup today to see if that works any better as I can get another one cheap.

Change The Flashing Notification Colour To Orange
When a window tries to notify you of something (such as an IM in live messenger) it flashes/turns orange in the start menu. I have searched through all the settings but I cannot find a way to change this. I am using a very nice orange color scheme with a desktop that is orange at the bottom, but I am struggling to see when I have a new IM. Do you know how to edit this colour?

Random Lines Flashing On The Monitor While Computer Is Loading
So I just upgraded my Windows XP laptop to Windows 7 and I thought that all was going well, and for the most part it was. That was until that I noticed that the display would have random horizontal lines a pixel thick start flickering (doesn't totally distort the display, it is just quite annoying. You can still see 99.9% of the display). The horizontal lines only stay there for an instance. They only happen when the computer is loading various screen. I was wondering if anyone else have been having this problem. I made sure that the driver was up to date. The only other thing that I could think of is that my graphics card is out of date, or that this RC version is not compatible with my graphics card.
