You're definitely seeing the same glitch as me. The computers I'm using both experience it, and both have widescreen resolutions: 1920x1080 and 1680x1050.

I wonder if anyone else experiences a graphics glitch which I see quite often: When open the start menu and click on Games or Recent Items, I'm often greeted with a clear menu... I can't see any of the icons. It's as if Aero is starting it's fancy translucency --> opaque transition, but never...

Thanks for the update. What RALink driver version are you using? Perhaps I should give your version a try.

To the users with freezing issues (hard freezing, where the computer does not come back to life without a hard reset), Are any of you using wireless cards with RALink chipsets? I have two Win7 x64 computers running two different wireless cards (acutally one PCI card, the other USB) based...

Maybe you weren't unjustified in leaving Win7 x64 after all. Although less frequent with the latest drivers from RALink (as of 4Nov09), if RALink devices are installed in my system, I still get random freezes.

Sorry to drag out such an old post, but I think there are STILL problems with RALink based wireless card drivers in Win7 x64. I have two Win7 x64 computers running two different wireless cards (acutally one PCI card, the other USB) based on RALink chipsets. Even with the latest drivers from...

Please let me know if this turns out to be the culprit for you as well. I'm not sure if either RALink or Microsoft realizes the drivers for these RALink chipsets are still unstable.

Try removing your RALink card Try removing your RALink based wireless card. I have two Win7 x64 computers running two different wireless cards (acutally one PCI card, the other USB) based on RALink chipsets. Even with the latest drivers from RALink Drivers both machines would randomly freeze...

Ok. I will be curious to hear how things go. I have an AMD setup and an Intel/nVidia setup, both working well with Win7. I posted about my AMD setup in this thread, post #14, it was freezing, but is running well now. My laptop with the nVidia graphics chip (8600M GT) never had problems.

Did uninstalling the nVidia chipset driver do anything for you? If this was a clean install of Win7, Driver Sweeper was hardly necessary. Sounds like there is at least some possibility that fault lies with options set in RivaTuner. Uninstall the nVidia graphics driver and RivaTuner. After a...

epk1950, for which components in your computer have you installed proprietary drivers (ie, drivers which did not come from Windows 7 itself or Windows Update)?

Freezing Narrowed Down to Wireless PCI Card for Me I was experiencing this freezing as well with Windows 7 Pro. I do mean freeze too, all animations on screen stop, mouse stops, keyboard doesn't respond (can't even change the numlock status), and only remedied by hard resetting the machine...
