Partition Not Showing Up In Computer On Left Side
*Insert token disclaimer about not knowing if this is the correct forum for this* It looks like it so I'll go with it. I've got a problem that popped up the other night when I decided I wanted to restore my system to a previous time due to a BSOD I received and had a feeling it was due to CCleaner. Regardless, I'm now unable to see my E: drive, as shown in the screenshot, on the left side of Explorer under Computer. It shows up fine in the main window there but not on the side. I can't even rename it, I had it named previously. Any ideas?

Computer Completely Freezes When Left Unattended For A Few Minutes
If I leave my computer running for a few minutes (maybe as few as 5 or 6), without user input, it freezes (as in cannot move mouse, keys do nothing, even CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing). At first I figured it has something to do with the power options, so I set EVERYTHING to "never" (no sleep, no hibernation, no HD off, no video off, etc.) and it still happens. This is on some fairly old hardware (an Asus W5000 laptop, 1.73ghz processor and 1.5gb RAM), but as you can see it meets the minimum requirements for Windows 7. Are there any diagnostics anyone suggests to help me figure out what is causing the problem?

Computer Will Not Enter Standby Automatically
I have a PC that I use as a media center attached to my TV running Windows 7 RC and it worked perfectly until about a week ago when I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 and placed them both in the same Homegroup. Every since then the Media Center will not enter standby mode either automatically, after 10 minutes as configured or from the MC remote control. To get it to enter standby I have to select "sleep" from the WMC "tasks" menu. As it only happened since creating the Homegroup I am assuming it is something to do with that, but I may be wrong. The MC PC is set to the "Balanced" power profile. Any ideas?

Computer Takes A Long Time To Wake Up From Sleep / Standby
The last few months its been taking longer and longer (up to a minute) to wake up. It was only taking a few seconds to wake up. I know its a hardware issue because I did a clean install of Windows XP and it is still doing it. A few weeks later I did a clean install of Windows 7 beta on a second partition and it is still doing it. My computer is working fine except for the slow waking up.

Hotmail Crashes Computer
I was using hotmail when I clicked on my address book and the computer crashed. White screen with vertical lines showing. Totally unresponsive. I had to manually shut the computer down using the button on the front of the computer, alt-control-del did nothing. After multiple reboots I am unable to access hotmail. IE8 simply times out when I try to navigate to their site. All other internet sites seem to work fine. I am running Windows 7 RC 32-bit version Avast free with an amd athlon 3500+ 2 gigabyte RAM ATI Radeon xpress 200. I recently enabled ECN on this computer, I wondered if this might have had anything to do with the problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Idle Computer Mysterious Crashes
my mini computer is a funny one, i can be sitting working on it for hours on end without any hick ups but always whenever i leave it for a while to go do something else, when i come back it has crashed, automatically rebooted so no bluescreen. but it only crashes like this if i leave it idle, turned on. What processes does windows start when the computer is not engaged by a user? because it has to be something like that which makes it fault and reboot right?

Media Player Crashes Computer Playing CD
So I have been trying to play/rip this CD I just got, but I have been having no luck at all. It will start playing the song, and continue playing the whole song, but the rest of the computer crashes so I am forced to restart. I don't get why one program would crash the whole computer like that. I've also tried to rip the CD, and it would rip about 4 tracks and then the computer would crash and it would stop. Anyone having a similar problem or know how to fix this one? It is an imported Japanese CD by the way, not sure if that matters or not.

Left/Right Snap And Multiple Monitors
It appears that the left and right snap-to (e.g., fills half the screen) doesn't work with the side of each monitor in multi-monitor mode where the monitors "connect." This also doesn't work if you create a space that doesn't connect. Is this planned behavior, or a bug?Â

Left 4 Dead DirectX Crash
Just my bad luck - first CoD4 crashes with DirectX error and now Left 4 Dead does that too (those are unrelated problems as far as I can tell, but still) Anyways, straight to the point: I get "Failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer" error right after intro movie starts. So far none of the solutions I found thanks to google worked so I was wondering if any of you nice people seen that problem. Or even better - solution. Made me sad when two of my favourite games refused to work in freshly installed system

Screen Always Turns Off When Installation Left Unattended
I have formatted/reinstalled W7 several times now. The only gripe I have is the same with basically every Windows OS ..The video output turns off after a certain amount of inactivity. And I don't know exactly how long. So I have to revisit my computer every couple of minutes to jiggle the mouse. Once the video is off, it never turns back on. Everything else works though. The DVD drive is spinning, the keyboard lights work, etc. etc. However, no matter what, the video will not turn back on. As a matter of fact this happened to me today, when I was reinstalling W7. I had to shut down the computer using the power switch and restart the installation. This time, I made sure to check on the computer. Can MS eitherA) Tell users when the video will turn off after inactivityB) Restart the graphics card after activityC) Never turn off the graphics card. Norton AntiVirus 2009

NVidia Drivers - Monitor Placement Left Or Right
I just installed Win7 build 7100. on initail instalation Windows installed a driver that takes advantage of the high res capability of my chip. I have a two monitors. Under Vista a second monitor with e correct driver can be configured for placement left or right of the primary monitor. I loaded drivers from nVidia with the hope the vista 64 bit drivers might work. It appears the placement cannot be changed. In other words I have a second monitor to the left of my primary monitor and I can only extend my desktop to the right, I will be looking into this.Can it be the driver from MS is interfering with the changed the nVidia control panel is trying to make using the nVidia control panel. But most likely the drivers need some changes made. Has Anyone else seen this happen."Not everything that counts can be counted."

EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes. Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied. I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft? After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time. I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing. It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer: Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

Motion LE1600 - Freezes After 15 Mins If Left Unattended
I have a strange problem with my Motion LE1600 tablet PC running Windows 7 Beta build 7000. Basically, if I don't touch the machine for 15 mins exactly, the whole thing freezes. The machine won't respond to the stylus or the nipple, the clock does not count up though the Wifi light continues to flicker.  I thought the issue might be related to power saving so I disabled the screen saver and went into the power saving options and made it so that the machine never goes to sleep or even turns off the screen, but I still get this problem. Any ideas anyone?

Taskbar Behaviour (left Clicking A Running Program)
I personally love the new taskbar. The only problem I have with it, is that I strongly believe that an icon with open instances should still open another instance when you left click on it. It should always stay an icon no matter what. I have shown many less technically inclined friends Windows 7 and every single time they found that they didn't know how to open a new "Office" instance or "IE" instance. I know that you already have this function with the middle scroll wheel button. But I really think it would make alot more sense to give the left button this function ALWAYS. It seems ridiculous to me that you must right click and then left click out of a list in order to open another instance of a program. I think by doing this it will make alot more people a fan of the new taskbar while not bugging any of the current fans of the new taskbar. It should help persuade those people who don't like the idea of combining icons with open windows. Does anybody agree with me? If people say they agree, microsoft will do it! I just think it is in their best interest and will prevent alot of negative feelings about the taskbar.

TFT Screen Is In Standby
I like this Beta very much, it's in this state much better than Vista. But I have got a problem: I have got a TFT screen with 1280x1024 resolution. I tried installing the Beta with that screen, but at the half of the progress it moved to standby mode. I installed another CRT-screen, and it works fine (same resolution). Now in Windows 7 in the screen settings I selected "mirroring" (I don't know what this is in English, I'm from Germany, I hope you'll see). But it's still black (No signal). Any ideas? (I have got a Radeon 4870 with the new beta driver (the old and the one from MS didn't work either) and a M3A79-t deluxe Mainboard from Asus and a Phenom 9950 BE.)
