I wonder if anyone else experiences a graphics glitch which I see quite often: When open the start menu and click on Games or Recent Items, I'm often greeted with a clear menu... I can't see any of the icons. It's as if Aero is starting it's fancy translucency --> opaque transition, but never...

This just started happening yesterday and quite honestly I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. I've scoured the net and this forum looking for a solution first but came up with nothing. To give you a better idea if I don't portray this clearly enough I've included screenshots. I'm not...

I just got a new Dell Laptop with Windows 7 Home. Any time I am typing, random windows open. It doesn't seem to be your normal keyboard shortcuts as it only takes typing one letter to make it happen. For instance, H opens history, T opens a new tab, P opens printers and so on and so on...

I've searched around on this one for a couple weeks and not found anyone with a similar issue... here goes. When I'm playing tunes in WMP12 the song I am listening to will finish and not move on to the next song. When I open WMP12, and look at the list the song just finished is displaying a...

I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Premium and now when I try and open Word 2007 it just hangs there. An if I right click anything after that the system locks up and eventually comes back with Windows Explorer is not responding and asks to restart. Any ideas?

I'm not sure why it is doing this but when I try to start Windows Media Center I can't access the screen. I try switching between screens and can see that the program is running but I can't use it. Also when I am playing a game and try to switch between the game and desktop with alt + tab or win...

Dear sirs I have installed Win 7 (x86) PR RTM And VERY happy with it. I have to use Visual Studio 2008. This gave me many troubles, until I discovered that after installation of Garmin USB driver 2.21, then VS2008 is suddenly not able to save any changes at all, in any projects. Also, if the...

Hello all. I installed Windows Seven 64 Build 7600 yesterday to try it out. Everything runs very smoothly with the exception of Windows Live Messenger. The problem I'm having is that it runs very slow. When someone talks to me and I switch to the chat window, it'll freeze for 1 sec before it...

I keep getting an error when I start IE 8. It has done this since I installed W7 and even though I use Firefox I'd like to know what is causing the problem if anyone knows. Link Removed due to 404 Error

I have the Windows 7 RC 64-bit installed on my comp, and I have been using WMP12 for a few months now with no issues up until recently.

Hm I don't remember if I disabled the Send Feedback/disabled shortcuts or it was removed from the RC, but I'll post it here. I'm using Windows 7 Basic theme on a laptop with bad ATI support so with Aero I get crashes when I go full screen in video/flash, but with the Basic theme enabled, if I...
