Hi, I've been searching for awhile now and haven't found my problem described elsewhere. I'm dual booting the Win7 64 bit beta with 32 bit Vista (a painful upgrade path) and so far most things are good except for the ethernet. When I booted in originally Windows couldn't detect any network...

I'm running Windows 7 beta 7000, x64 Bit, (fresh install) and despite a few little bugs (like the gadgets not working when UAC is disabled), I find things are quite robust. However, one thing that is insanely slow compared to Vista or XP is the WINDOWS PHOTO VIEWER. Even opening tiny images...

Hi to all readers, I am currently using the xp platform. I managed to load the Beta 7 onto D,drive with some difficulty. It would not load straight off the DVD rom, I loaded from within the xp platform where I now have dual booting. I suspect these problems are to do with the drivers!, When I...
