Anyone else kind of disappointed?

I'm pretty happy overall. It's seeming stable and slick.

The RC was feature complete, and it's purpose was to test for bugs -- not add new features. I'm glad they didn't go trying to do anything extra. It's really truly a "Release Candidate," meaning you tell us the disasters that makes this something we can't release, not tell us what icons to add.

They can add doodads like icons and taskbar tweaks, etc. over time. Right now the foundation needs to be solid.

I'd mainly like to see more drivers, etc. I'd indeed like more input on what drivers are installed originally, and I'm finding there are some things like my Canon scanner where Vista drivers actually don't work (and what it installs by default doesn't work either).

But disappointed, no. They actually got this solid a lot faster from the RC than I expected.

Because the issue propogates across platforms and OS builds, it is reasonable to conclude that the cause is not in the hardware or the OS build.

Are you applying a setting at any level that is drawn from your legacy bag of tricks?

For more than a year, I dealt with XP booting to svchost running at 50%/100% due to a customized network setting on my slipstream CDs. I knew it was somewhere in those settings because I finally solved the problem by installing from a slipstream that used default network settings. I burned an entire pack of CDs testing different slipstream configs. I still do not know what the actual setting was that caused the problem.

Something I "learned" and applied caused a major XP "bug". It spanned XP, XP SP1 and XP SP2 on every machine I ever installed it on.

Yes Antman, I have dealt with that issue in Win XP as well, and found the solution to the problems in the settings for network controls and services related to them.
That is what I am trying to solve in Win7. Not massive resource demands, just the freeze problem.

I do a lot of experimenting in my design work on my laptop (the Lenovo, the Acer is my Wife's toy) and them Sync the files to my main box, then intigrate the design work and run simulation testing on my main box (cause It has the needed resources).

The only Network services that I have not used yet is the HomeGroup, I did test it in the beginning, but It will not communicate with any other OS but Win 7 and Server 2008. But I don't think that it would be related to the Freeze problem.

One point that I can not figure out, When my System (my main box) goes to sleep and then freezes, it turns off the Network Adapter and USB ports.
I have gone through the Advanced settings and disabled the shut-down options on them, but they still shut down on the 7600 version, that one didn't happen on the earlier versions, (that I recall).

Mr. Laser, it is bedtime here in DC. Let's pick this up tomorrow. Create a thread and copy your two posts from here. SF can help you fix this.

The Ozarks are beautiful.

Yea Mr. Antman
Its past my Bed time too.
I will start a post in this and see if any one else has these problems, I have been posting on the TechNet Forum, but still no solutions.

Thanks.

TechNet lacks the technical expertise available here.

As it happends I got 965P-DS3 in one of my seven boxes and I have seen one resume failure on that box but only one and i do use that function a lot. Running 64 bit Enterprise on it with a nvida 7600 Gt
