Hello everyone! This is my first time here in the forums, so help me along the way if I've done something wrong. I upgraded to Windows 7 home premium from Vista home premium about a week ago, and unlike the average consensus, it has been nothing for trouble for me. I have had performance issues...

I've been using windows 7 ultimate 64bit for a few weeks. It's all good except; When i try to get in hardrives, folders etc. it waits 2-3 seconds each time. Forward-backward-shortcut any attempt on opening a folder makes me wait 2-3 seconds. When i check it on task manager, each time i click...

So I upgrade to Windows 7, Home Premium 64 bit from Vista 64 It all went well until I tried to open a 32 bit programme. IE 64 opens okay, but that’s it. If I open any 32 bit programme (and some of the management programmes) I get werfault.exe*32 in the processes in the task manager...

Since using the Win7 Beta (and now the RC), I've noticed that "wmplayer.exe" will occasionally run in the background without being explicitly started by the user. This wasn't much of a problem, but I thought it was odd. Since installing the RC, however, WMP often (>50% of the time that I am on...

Hey guys, I've been using RC Windows 7 since release. I had a few problems to start with but fixed them. Now, out of the blue, when I log in, all applications freeze like windows explorer, task manager etc. I can't open any new instances of any software but already open non-system software like...

Alright so prior to a few days ago, I was able to burn CDs with no problems using Nero 8. Suddenly though, Windows refuses to open ANY program that has the ability to burn a CD. I've tried Nero 8, 7, 6, Windows Media Player, CDBurnerXP, Roxio, etc. What's particularly weird about this too is...
