Windows 7 Windows 7RC

[sisyphus]

I just restored my system to W 7 Beta after struggling for much too long with the new RC Build 7100.

I was trying the 64 bit version and I could not get it to work out for me at all!
IE Explorer would not launch at all; just a brief flash on the screen. And I was not able to copy my files and settings from the backup to the new version.
Maybe it's just me; I've been having a truly miserable day today. I need a break, for sure!
