Windows 7 will not lock up on me if I am constantly moving the mouse or doing something like being active on the PC, if I leave the pc, as if it knows I am away from it and locks the frick up. I have max performance set for power plan I have disabled everything goes to sleep or hibernation etc...

I was using Vista x32 Home Premium, WDS4 and IFilter to index text content in 20,000 PDFs with no problems. I just installed Windows 7 RC x64, which is supposed to have the WDS4 functionality built-in. I have swicthed on pdf content indexing in the Indexer control panel, enabled content...

I've searched for related issues, but haven't seen anything quite the same. I have a 2nd partition where I keep all my music, pics, etc., but the taskbar search in the start menu doesn't return them as search results until I click "see more results," in which they then appear immediately. I...

I can not search pdf files using built-in Windows Search. I have Adobe Reader 9.1 installed which comes with the proper ifilter. But, when I go to indexing options it says "Registered IFilter is not found". I even downloaded and installed the standalone IFilter provided by Adobe but still...

Interesting or Odd behaviour?! I added my external drive to the Indexing Options dialogue, but after fully indexing the drive, Windows 7 failed to find any of the mp3's. However, as soon as I added the mp3's to 'My Libraries', a search from Start, found them instantly (after indexing for a...

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is this an area for improvement in the final version. I really like the idea of Libraries. I have a LOT of photos and music on a NAS drive. Apparently, the only way to index the NAS drive is to make it available offline which, by definition...

I'm using Windows Media Player on my Dell Mini 9 win build 7100 mostly because it will add new music that I add to my folder. Lately every time I start media player it goes and reindexes all of my files. It's not just searching for new files but it shows there are no files in it and then it...

'Ello, I have a big problem with Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 RC that basically makes it unsable for music. When I opened it up for the first time it had to index all my music files which makes sence and worked fine for a little while before I closed it then reopened it some time...

Hi I've been testing Windows Search and selected my external drive for indexing in 'Indexing Options', but none of the mp3's/jpg's on the drive have been found (although there are many thousand). Windows Search has found all my Outlook emails and finds all the mp3's from searching within...

Windows 7 search is driving me completely crazy. I have a data CD with a lot of files and folders. Nested in a folder is a file called cdboot.ima. I put in the data CD, bring up an explorer window to see the root of the disc, and then type in cdboot in the search bar. Win7 promptly tells me...

I have Win 7 RC installed and I have found out that the search does not work at all. When I write a file or folder name and press the search arrow NOTHING really happens. The fact is that sometimes, under certain conditions or wrong options Windows does not show the propper search result. But in...

Hi all, Win7100 64 installed and occasionally enjoying it so far. My Problem: I inserted a typical client-provided Data CD with 1,025 CAD files spread over 203 nested folders (a manufacturer's product library). Typical file/product name something like REQY250-BC1E where REYQ is one of dozens of...

Hey, in the Win7 beta I could add a network drive (on a samba file server) to the Music library. But the Win7 RC gives an error message when I try that: This network location can't be included because it's not indexed It also won't add or index mapped network drives; including my home...

Hi Everyone. My Windows 7 x64 beta v7057 hangs after a few minutes of activity. Also, it doesn't pass the Windows Score HDD test, saying HDD indexing needs to been turned on, when it's already turned on. I'm using the latest RAID Windows Vista x64 driver. Maybe it's not RAID issue at...
