I installed VMware Workstation 5.5 on my Windows 7 beta, then installed XP SP3 in a VMware virtual machine. I didn't think I would be able to do this in Win7, but it works great! :rolleyes:

In case anyone's interested, since I uninstalled SEP, the system does seem to be quite stable - no more BSOD!

Actually, I now realize that in order to access the Start Menu folder for all users, you must navigate to C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu -- Here you can decide what shows up in the Start Menu, and access is not denied. If this is not visible, select Show hidden files and...

OK, I've uninstalled SEP, and I'm going to see if I get any more BSOD. I might install AVG, but I'm going to run without any AV for a while...

OK, sure. I'm running the 32-bit version. I'm using an old, minimally-equipped system - looking for trouble, you might say ;-) Mobo: MSI 848P Neo 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 1GB ram GeForce4 MX440 64 MB 40GB Seagate HD

I'm getting frequent crashes. BSOD: symevent.sys / page fault in non_paged area. Any ideas? It always reboots fine, however.

Thanks for the info, reghakr. I'm having fun testing this beta version, but I hate to think of the complications that will arise if we decide to roll out this OS where I work. I now realize that the Start Menu folder is a "protected operating system file" and must be unhidden in Folder Options...

In XP, the All Users directory (as well as each individual profile) under Documents and Settings contains a Start Menu folder. What is the Windows 7 equivalent?
