7068 bugs!

the only issue i have in Build 7068 is Firefox which chrashes often...

some Games are very laggy but else nothing to claim

I had random freezing problem with 7068 x86 (Asus F3T AP008), Screen freeze and I can't do anything, only hard reset... Tried different drivers (chipset, SATA, graphic) and no result. Now testing 7057 x86 and see if problem gone. Never had this issue with 7000 and 7048 x64.

Why not try Avast!? It's been running sweet on my laptop, Norton has caused far too many issues over the last couple of months.

We had many problems with this AV back in 2007 at work and from recent personal experience after removing virus/worms from computers people weren't even aware they were infected and had the latest version of Avast and virus definition to date installed. real world experiences > AV comparatives.
The only reason we used (I don't know if they still do as I don't work there anymore) to recommend Avast back then was because it was the only free AV with a French translation. I also used to recommend Avast because of that, but now that AVG 8 has a French translation for their free version, I recommend it to people who don't have much money to buy a yearly subscription for an AV, and strangely I don't get as many virus related problems calls as when I was recommending Avast.

I posted earlier about 7068 in this thread about issues I am having. Today I was playing FEAR via Steam, less than 30 secs into game, pc rebooted!....Logged back in, played ok for 15 mins..I quit the game. Went back later and the game froze on me after less than 30 secs, rebooted and it did the same. Running an EVGA NVIDIA 8800 GT w/Xtreme 182.08 drivers...didnt have this issue w/7057. Also on boot up,I dont get network access each time. My last boot, I had to run a diagnose to get it running.... Really not sure if 7068 is to blame though. I did make changes via services.msc following Blackvipers recommendations, also updated my Linksys router firmware and finally made some changes in the msconfig file but since reverted back... hmmm, maybe a clean install will help darco

None of these problems that I posted have returned? Well the memory shows 7.4 usable but no more network probs or game freeze ups...strange

AVG doesn't have an option to perform boot-time scans to the best of my knowledge. That in my eyes alone is a large enough reason to pick Avast over AVG.

not for us x64 users

With build 7068 I'm experiencing the same problem I had in Vista where folders don't keep the layout I set (list view, etc.).
