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'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...

Anyone else experiencing very slow log in and log out times in RC1? I just timed it and it takes 5 minutes and 27 seconds from the moment I click log off until it is at the log in screen again. Log on is slightly faster at 4 minutes and 19 seconds. Ugh. The PC I am testing Win7 RC1 on is a...

Hi Guys. I'm having problems with my copy of Windows 7 X64 RC1. I've managed to install the copy on a partition of my HDD. The installation seemed to go through ok. When it comes to loading up the OS, it hangs on a Black screen with the Windows 7 text at the bottom right corner. I thought...

I had this problem with beta build 7077 and now with rc1. If I leave my computer for a while it will stop responding to my mouse clicks and key presses, but my mouse will still move. This used to only happen overnight, but now it's happening sometimes after a few hours. Sometimes if I hit...

Hi! I installed Win7 RC1 the other day, clean install, dual boot with XP. Everything went ok but after install the system starts to freeze now and then. Especially when browsing the HDD. Let’s say I open a map with a lot of files and starts scrolling down, the system freezes for about...
