rc1

This is an issue that I had in Vista that seems to have bled over and intensified in Windows 7. Before I upgraded to RC1, I would have issues where the network would just stop working. It would show up in my list of networks, but I couldn't connect. Windows would always tell me to look at...

I installed RC1 from Microsoft's website, and I am trying to run it on my 40" 1080P display. I want to run at 1920x1080, but it is only displaying at 800x600 on my screen. When I choose 1920x1080, my tv is just black with an error message blinking. I have a HIS Radeon 4760 video card. I think...

Just installed Windows 7 RC 1 (build 7100) and by mistake deleted the IE icon from the taskbar. Now I don't know for the life of my how to get it back on there... I tried dragging, using the 'pin to taskbar' option, nothing works... is this a bug, or is there something I'm doing wrong ?

A few days ago I updated my vista home prem hard drive to the windows 7 ultim rc1 in german. but i cant use the libraries as, which is very sad for me as i considered them to be a very good new feature. clicking on one of the libraries simply displays an error message e.g.: "pictures.library-ms"...

I'm trying to download the windows 7 RC1 32bit iso image but each time I get the same error message: "The server returned an error. would you like to retry?" I'm looged on as an administrator, my antivirus and firewall are disabled... Would be great if anyone has the solution

Hi, It's my understanding that starting March 11th, those who are running W7 RC1 will experience an auto shutdown every 2 hours. Then, in June, the RC1 will lock you out of your system. Even if you buy the retail copy of W7 before June, there is no way to do an in place upgrade, rather, you...

I have a Lenovo R61 laptop with RC1 installed (7100) My desktop folder and file shortcuts keep disappearing! Gadgets are fine, but not shortcuts. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Yesterday I decided to give RC1 a shot, install went perfect. I had the system completely setup no driver issues until I decided to test the microphone. When I went into the configuration for the microphone and played the device so I could hear it...All I could hear when there was any sort...

I have installed Windows 7 beta and windows 7 RC1 and both have crashed within a week of installing them, I was unable to send in a report of both crash incidents because when I rebooted neither the beta or 7 RC would not boot up. though over the 5 days I was testing windows 7 RC it was updated...

I can't make ffdshow to work on my windows 7 RC1 x64. I installed both x86 and x64 versions and i get nothing. Either i use powerdvd9 or wmp

I cannot get pre-boot tasks to work with Windows 7 RC1. For example, telling PerfectDisk to run a system files defrag, doing chkdsk, or scheduling a registry defragmenter to run before Windows boots. Windows will just boot up normally as if nothing has been scheduled. I have upgraded from...

Hey! I recently installed Windows 7 RC1. When I move a window around it used to be smooth. I can see the window move with my mouse. Now for some strange reason, when I move the window, it's a box that is moving not the window itself. Can someone help me? Here's a screenshot: Link Removed due...

I have been using 7 since the 6000 builds. I just started using the RC1, and the data transfer rate is stupid slow. I can't get USB 2.0 above 19 MB/s and I can't get drive to drive above 10 MB/s! The fact that my USB is going faster than my two harddrives is absolutely rediculas. I have seen...

hi so i downloaded the rc1 build yesterday from the windows site.. got my seriel number and burnt my iso to disc.. installing ok starts the upgrade.. but when it gets to putting the stuff back onto the computer its gets to 66% and it comes up with this error: werfault.exe - application error...

I've noticed a weird problem with EverQuest in RC1. On login, one CPU core shoots to 100% and stays there for a solid minute. I have a Sidebar gadget that monitors memory and cores. So for about a minute, it's pinned at 100% and the character can't be moved. If I try, the window fades and I...

I installed RC1 and did not input the activation key. The desktop told me that I was running in evaluation mode, which is normal. I then went in and activated Windows with my key. Activation showed as successful, but my desktop is still telling me that I am in eval mode. Is there a way to...

I have a 300GB NTFS IDE secondary hard drive, and when i put RC 1 on my computer, it didnt recognize it. i switched back to my Vista 64bit and it is recognized again. Anybody know a solution to this?

I'm pretty good with Windows, but I've never tried running a Beta version or RC version before, and I have a question. It's probably a dumb question, but I haven't seen a topic address it so I'm just going to go ahead and ask. Microsoft updates the release candidate regularly, but as it...

Hi first of all, I know: It's more nice to do a clean install. But because I'm using 7 as main OS, I just can't waste the time at the moment... And I'll do Microsoft the honor to get a nice bug (or is it a feature?). I burned iso to dvd, extracted to my laptop, changed the .inf data, ran the...
