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.

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?

Office 2007 Ribbon Bar
In Windows 7 you have the ability to drag a maximized window by the title bar to restore it, etc. This feature does not work with Office 2007 applications that utilize the new Ribbon bar. I'm guessing this is because of the way the application creates the ribbon bar, it actually overwrites and hides the real application title-bar. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a Windows 7 fix or does there need to be an Office 2007 fix?

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?

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?

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?

Anyone else run into this and found a fix?

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.

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.

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 64 Cannot Run Backup To Specific Hard Drive
I'm trying to set up the Backup to an internal hard drive called Z: After originally installing win 7 64bit, I had to manually assign a drive letter to the hd before windows would see it. This HD has nothing on it and is not used often so its perfect for my windows backup. However, when I start the backup setup - it does not list that hard drive in my options to backup to. When I manually goto CMD to run "wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:f: -include:c:" it gives me the error saying the HD is read-only and cannot store backups. Under disk management, I am not allowed to reformat the z: drive - it says "Windows cannot format the system partition on this disk." It lists the Z: drive as being system, active, primary partition - WHY DOES WINDOWS THINK IT IS THE SYSTEM HD? It has 100% free space according to diskmanagement. I ran a chkdsk on z: (it is still going on step 5) and there doesn't seem to be any errors yet :/ Any suggestions?

SCCM SP1 Client - Config Mgr Icon - Run Advert Programs Icon
I have SCCM SP1 Client installed on my Windows 7 Enterprise PC. Normally the "Configuration Manager" Icon and the "Run Advertised Programs" Icon display in Add/Remove Programs or in the case of Windows 7, "Programs and Features". These icons are not visible in "Programs and Features" although the SCCM Client ccmsetup.log says the SCCM client was successfully installed. Is this a glitch or are these icons now displayed elsewhere?

Win7 Not Closing Programs
Has anyone else noticed this, I am using a browser, and for example looking at the forum here. When I close the browser without logging out from the forum and then restart the browser I am still logged in. This never happens with Vista, I always have to login again Does seven not close the programs properly to speed up the re-opening?? Does this not infringe on some aspect off security? Not for me I am the only user Could this be a bug? This works for both IE and Firefox.

Where Are The Multitouch Programs In Win7 ?
When i look at some videos on youtube for windows 7 i see a photo surface program with multiple photos you can move around and resize pull one forward and so on. I also saw a surface program where you typed a word and slid it into a spot and youtube videos started popping up that you could also move around size and start playing. I have the windows 7 RC and i dont know where to find any of these programs to take advantage of multitouch, i have a dell xt so its capable but i dont know if its a program i have to go download or if its built into windows 7. Can anyone help find something on windows 7 that is multitouch other then earth and paint, which work well by the way..
