What don't you like about Windows 7?

[Bituser]

mines running fine. I'm going to leave my computer a lone for a while any way, so it miles well work until I get back.

 

[hubris]

I'm running two Antivirus Scans at the same time. Lol

Not serious...............are you ?? :shock:

 

[Bituser]

I sure am. Why? I don't exactly have the fastest computer in the world. Everything is running fine.

A few gripes

There are a couple things I don't like:

1. Why are key executables missing from Windows 7 and previous and where to download such tools free: telnet, ssh, md5, sha1, sha256, and more
2. Another Windows 7 annoyance: Right-click options for a folder when it is open from “Libraries”
3. Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it
4. I have to run Messenger in Windows XP mode to hide the icon in the tray. (sorry no blog post)
5. It takes me 50 seconds to log in sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. (sorry no blog post yet)

Did you upgrade 7 or clean install? Do you have the grunt to run 7?

I am sooo P***ed Off they have taken away my ability to disable Auto Arrange within folders I need to drag files around at will. That was such a basic function that I used everyday. I have unistalled Win 7 twice because of this. The only reason I have gone back is to take advantage of my RAM. They will have to fix this.... wont they?

No, because its not broken...On a more serious term...No.

The price

being a vista owner before i hated paying for what vista should of been in windows 7

 

[TRK212]

compatibility with some old programs that worked fine with xp.
I dont say that its windows 7 fault as the developer of the old software have not updated their products to work with win 7.

You can usually right click on the Programs Icon>Properties>Compatibility and then run in a different like Windows 95 or something . . .

I beg to differ. Just search this forum or Google "Disable Auto Arrange" Tell all those people it doesnt need to be fixed. I think whoever came up with the idea to Force Auto Arrange on us is broken

Broken refers to something that doesn't work. Auto arrange is working as designed.

I'll list all of my current cons about it.
Trouble installing, had to install 64 bit XP before I could install 64 bit Win7
The permissions feature is way too confusing for me
I can't manage to change themes, it messes up a lot!
I only know of one way to get to the system restore configuration, through right click computer, system protection, etc.
But, those little things, compared to all the great things about it, It's definately a keeper for me
GO WIN7!

Hiberating...

Right now, my only problem is that when I close my laptop and reopen it my cursor pretty much won't move and stays stuck in zoom mode (magnifying glass), so i have to reboot to get it off. Extremely inconvenient when I have work to be saved. I have checked all my settings, including what should the laptop do when i close the lid, and it keeps happening. HELP!

Still have not been able to put pages side by side...

I still have not been able to put web pages side by side, like all the windows 7 ads advertised would happen... Any ideas how to do that?

When dragging a window to the side, the mouse cursor much touch the edge. Or you can use WINDOWS key + left or right arrow keys.

2 weeks in, and I'm loving it. The clean install on the HP laptop was an excellent idea, can't wait to do that on the desktop (just applied the upgrade from Vista).

i hate the fact that its not free & i had to pay £200 for it - lol
