I was running a beta build of windows 7, version 7057 anyway when i would be typing the cursor would randomly move backward on the text so i would begin to type over things i already type into. I thought it was just a problem with AIM at first. So i tried it in notepad and word and the same...

Paul Thurott seems to think one of the two major Windows 7 announcements is a new Windows 7 UI, the second is probaly the OS's release date. Link Removed - Invalid URL . "There are rumors, too, that a new UI is coming and it may make sense for Microsoft to hold on to that UI for the RTM builds...

I am currently running the 7000 build of 32bit windows 7. I installed World of Warcraft which installed and patched fine but when I try to play it hangs on startup. Everytime it hangs it does it in the same spot which is when the launcher starts to download. Anyone else run into this problem if...

Sometimes when I hit ctrl alt delete to lock my computer the screens go black and when I hit escape, my desktop comes back but the monitors and resolution get all messed up. My primary monitor and secondary monitor will switch places, but the taskbar will remain on the same monitor. Monitor 1...

In the pre beta 6801 build the powercfg -energy command line command saved a file called energy-report.html to the system32 file folder. It worked perfectly. But now in the beta build when i ran the command it successfully runs and i go search for the file and when i search it shows up but says...

Right-click on 'Computer' and select 'Properties' or select System from the Control Panel, it reports I have 16G of Memory. Don't I wish. I only have 2G. Task Manager as well as the CPU usage Gadget both report that correctly. Just noticed the device manager reported it incorrectly. Other than...

One of the many reasons I skipped Vista was because of the constant Disk activity when idle. It appears that the same problem exists with Windows 7. I've tried the usual suspects like turning of indexing etc, but the problem it still exists. I'm 99% sure it's not the hardware, because I can play...

Hi, I'm after a list of Sound cards that people absolutely know work in Windows 7 (beta build 7000) and have drivers that support them which also are compatible with Windows 7. Thanks for any support/help.

Hello. I am trying to join this Windows 7 machine to a domain run on a Windows Server 2003 SBS install. There are several other computers running Vista, XP and various distributions of Linux which have no problems whatsoever, so I know the issue must lie with Windows 7 itself. I am running the...

I installed Windows 7 beta build 7000, all seemed well except for my monitor/video card driver. All other hardware seems to be working fine. So I go to update my video card driver, and it's not showing up in the device manager. So I think ok, maybe it's cause I don't have the driver. So I...
