Hello all:
My W7 started to switching tasks without being requested to do so.
It happens by it's own, no action required whatsoever. Now I might be writing here, next char I type might en up in my MSN chat window which was minimized.
At first I thought it was related to a key o keys...

Habitually, I keep six or seven folders on my desktop and, when using XP, they would always remember their individual proportions and what part of the screen they were to open up on - that way I could always have several columns of folders side-by-side, with no overlaps, always with the same...

Hello everyone, i have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium - 32 bit.
I started typing, using my left shift button and all the sudden a box popped up just as i was hitting enter. I briefly saw Filter keys on the title before the window disappeared.
After that, my keyboard...

Hi. I have 5 hard disks on my computer (four SATA internal + one external). I was able to get disk management in W7 to work one time. It reported one of my hard disks incorrectly, telling me I have a 2 Teribyte drive when I do not have it. I attempted a reformat (NTFS, default). Anyway, after...

Hi,
I paid £30 for the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade as I'm a student. Yesterday I bought a new 500GB HDD and some more RAM to use for Windows 7. I downloaded the files from the link provided in the e-mail I got, and extracted. I was then given a strange error message, which upon Googling...

I've attached a screenshot of the folder to illustrate what I mean

This has been going on since I downloaded the OS. Everything works fine, except when I want to "Save Image As" to save an image to my computer, or upload a picture, for say, an avatar. When I try, my computer shows that it's going through the process, but then it stops and doesn't do anything...

Hi All,
I just upgraded to windows7 and now when I play left4dead it minimizes the game back to the desktop when I hit escape, escape should bring up the in-game menu.
Has anyone else had this, I've read this occurs on other games too but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Thanks a lot,
Russ
Here's the skinny:
I downloaded the RC over the summer to try it out, alongside linux mint. I like it so much that I've decided to abandon the linux distro for now and let Windows 7 take over my whole hard drive. The one thing remaining before falling in love is the lack of standby mode. The...
Hello!
I have experienced a problem in Windows 7 that I have never encountered before (in Vista or way back in XP):
Some windows appear behind the taskbar instead of below it (my taskbar is located at the top of the screen, and has been that way in previous OSs). I'm at my wit's end as to...

I installed Windows 7 RC x64 last week and noticed in the system properties it says "Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.75 of usable)". The strange thing is, I only have 3 gigs of memory installed.
Installed Windows 7 last week and realized that unless the laptop is plugged in, I cannot read the display. It looks almost like it's brightness/contrast gets put on the highest level and I cannot make anything out. Sometimes it will fade back to correct if I don't have any programs running...

Hi people,
I noticed that its not possible to edit the tags and properties of video files in windows 7. Did someone else encounter that problem?
Would appreciate your advice.
Hey, ever since I got Windows 7 I've had a constant problem when it comes to post on forums. When I write to the limit where I have to scroll down.
When I go down to continue my writing, the comment box jumps up to the top instantly by itself. And it keeps doing this over and over which makes...
I've been trying to install Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) on a brand new Dell box (model: Optiplex 760) for the past week or so. I've tried both 32-bit and 64-bit. The issue I'd been having was a very interesting one. What would happen is that any processes on the computer (logging in, the clock...
Hi folks. Using Win7 at home as my primary as of yesterday. One major problem I have run into is that I can't get control of my computer remotely or at the console after doing an RDP session. I did change the RDP port but I have always done that with previous versions of Windows. I'm guessing...
