Hello! I recently upgraded from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (Build 7100) and noticed that it seems to boot much slower compared to Vista. The only two items I see that start at start up are "VMware Workstation" and "Microsoft Windows Operating System". I also have...

hi everyone! i just installed windows 7 64bit - and it took more than 2 hours to do so!!! firing up the installed system takes about 15 minutes, interaction on screen is extremely slow. mousepointer as well. java and flash are installed properly. another interesting observation: win7 does not...

Hi, I fresh installed Win 7 RTM on my PC for testing purposes and found that its slower to boot up than the RC 7100 build (around 55 sec vs 35 sec). I think it may have something to do with the user account, since logging on from off takes a long time in itself ( around 30 sec on the welcome...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've done a torture test on my Windows 7 32-bit machine. it consists of a Nvidia Geforce 6100 nForce video, Nvidia nForce Networking Controller, Hitachi 200GB drive TSST Corp CD\DVDRW drive, , AMD Athalon 64 Processor 3800+. I have installed 106...

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS3L motherboard and have been running 4 gigs (4 x 1GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4; 4-4-4-12; 2.1 volts) on it with no problems. Windows 7 runs great. I decided to up the ante to 8 gigs RAM (4 x 2GB Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5; 5-5-5-18; 1.8 volts -- which is approved from...

When I first opened WMP in Vista, it would take a while to open and start playing music. However, in Windows 7 it opens almost instantly. Is it just faster, or is it opening in startup so it starts faster? I suspect this because my start up is not much faster than Vista, and i did not do an...

My computer was slower than normal to boot for a while, it would stay on the Welcome... page for about 12secs (a long time). I turned on verbose messages, and it turns out, its "preparing my desktop" on each boot. Two questions 1. What possible reasons could there be for such a thing? 2...

Hi guys, I am new to the forums, but not to windows, I've been using microsoft products since DOS and windows 3.1 so I know windows inside out. I just installed windows 7 RC1 onto my acer netbook (1.6ghz atom, 1GB ram, 160GB HDD) and it installed in 5-10 minutes real quick from my thumb...

Hi, I have just done a clean install with the new RC of windows 7. But the problem now is the boot time has increased a lot about 5 min. This was not the case with the first public beta (7000). I have done some xbootmgr performance logging and I will attach some screen shoots of my findings...

Is windows 7 really version 7.0? If one opens a command prompt window one sees that it says it is windows version 6.1. Last time i checked 6.1 is not version 7.... So it would seem that MS is only using the name "7" like how they used the name "XP" or "Vista". I think this is to decieve people...

I have had this problem basically since I installed Win7, I dont know if something I installed triggered it. This is my school laptop so I'm not in the position to uninstall software to stop the problem, everything I have on here I use actively. Ok, so the problem I have noticed the laptop...

My computer has 4GB Ram. and a Dual-core CPU. But I still saw the difference before and after upgrade my Vista to Sp1. I counted the time of loading time from the logging to finish loading all my starting items. Before: 30Sec. After: 50Sec. Are your Windows Vista acting like that just...

As many of you know, I'm not a fan of the preview feature.. To me it's an additional step to take to locate a program or find what directory you're in. Before this preview feature was introduced with Vista, I could have 12 windows open and simply look on the taskbar and tell immediately where...

I think we need to start a list of what exactly is diffrent between win 7 and other os's that ms has made. I had someone ask me whay made windows 7 better, and I didnt really have an answer for them. (So ignore currently known beta issues with 7, we assume ms will fix those.) I will start...

I am certain that i am not the only one to hold this view, but i do feel in the minority. In my humble opinion, Windows 7 is nothing more than Windows Vista with more pieces of flair. One can make the case that Vista, while lacking flair, is not any less of an OS. The added features of...

My installation (32bit) took 35 minutes from Iinstall Now to a working desktop, including setting up my Lan. This installation I mean to test before I start B***ring around with it! Memory on the resource monitor is pretty steady. I only have 2gbs on the Laptop I am using but it is steady on...
