Let's get negative [2] - Windows 7 Minor annoyances

hmm, no I didn't - firewalls and AV in Win7 are defunct?

I have yet to go to Win7 Professional to get the XP mode, so no worries right now

What stinks though is I have some beloved programs that are non-compatible with Win7

I guess could dual boot my Ubuntu machine and install XP

Actually, there are ways to isolate the Virtual XP, if I recall correctly, one of them is a software called sandboxie.

All in all, i like win 7 ultimate. What i dont like is all the layering, takes work to get to certain areas and certain settings. They almost seem to take pleasure in hiding some of the settings, lol.
What i do like is a lot of tweaking that i have been able to do, cant think of them offhand but there have been quite a few. I simply like the feel of 7 and how it works.
Also, i havent installed a firewall like zone alarm and i havent installed an anti-virus and i have yet to have an issue. Either win 7 is that solid or the people that make the viruses havent yet released them?
I really like how i can pile up websites and keep them up and running while using the sleep feature on the start menu. I also like the favorites bar, its great. There are a bunch of features like that that are great. But, again, having to go thru layers is a bit annoying. And i find some features in obscure places, cant think of one at the moment but i am old, lol.

thanks

Well i forgot to mention other two important things and happens maybe because it still new !
Bluetooth... Up to now i could not make the bluetooth configuration find the peripheral devices for my Nokia N86.
I have a not so old Printer.
W7 did not accept the setup and says bluntly that this O is not supported.
OK. I downloaded or really it could find automatically the driver for printing only but other functions like scanning and faxing are still dead...
well this is part of my stress.
Maybe it is the fault of the hard disk too.
I hope so.

I was very sceptical at first but now I really like Win7.
Of course, if you run into problems right after installation it's frustrating. Each new OS requires some adjustment and some search for new drivers and the like. But I've never ever done an OS switch that went so smoothly as did this switch from XP to Win 7 :)

It sound to me like the OP is going through the learning curve we all went through. No Windows 7 doesn't work like XP, it works better. With W7 you will find that all that tweaking we all use to do is not necessary in W7. You will also find out you won't have to use all those 3rd party programs to tweak or tune up something in W7, they are snake oil in most cases. Learning how to get to things and doing what you want to just takes a little time to learn and we are here to help. You can go to Microsoft and check to see if your programs and/or hardware will work with W7. I did have a couple of old programs that wouldn't work properly with my Windows 7 Home Premium 64. I also had to go to OEM sites and get a couple of updated drivers. These are normal things for any clean install. Did you do a upgrade or a clean install?
P.S. Please complete you system specs.

Something really annoying is Windows Media Player resetting itself to volume 99% ie 39/40
It refuses to remember previous setting!

I normally have all media/volumes set at 50% so it doesn't blow speakers etc

But everytime a film gets started (if not paying attention) BLAM! :shock:

On some installs IE8 will not hold its Window size no matter what I try. This is annoying because in every other way IE8 has become perfect and IMO blows away the other browsers feature-wise.

I have had to resort to using AutoSizer in System Tray to program IE8 Window sizes.

Normally I would drag windows to size I want and then click the top middle Resize button a few times to program it to save size. But this won't work in about 10% of installs.

I wonder if this is infrequent enough that MS hasn't become aware of it yet, and if not why there is no fix as it is annoying.

Yeah. That's my #1 pet peeve. I've had the same trouble with the IE9 beta, but I can't fault that. It IS a beta after all.

I like the Win7 so far. Six weeks.

Snip, snap and shake are nice.

Search bar in the start menu is great.
99% of my search comes up with what I need before I'm done typing.

Stable so far.
Most of my problems are with the operator not the OS.
That is what the forum is for.:D
Search first, then yell HELP Sevenforums!

IE9 crashed Saturday on initial reboot after install. Uninstalled.
Went back Monday morning with new download everything is working well for the third day.
Added the FlashSquare beta and so far so good.

Hi there

Only 3 gripes -- 2 minor and 1 MEGA irritant

1) No Email client -- I actually LIKED the sheer simplicity of Outlook express. True I have Office 2010 installed and hence Outlook 2010 but for a home user who doesn't need HUGE address books and loads of connections to corporate email systems Outlook express did the job JUST FINE-- and please I HATE Windows LIVE so don't mention that in response.

2) Lack of DECENTLY being able to use a number of Virtual desktops simultaneously like the old Deskmanager Power toy. The W7 alternatives all seem to have some sort of niggles whereas the old XP version worked just FINE.

3) MEGA GRIPE -- No equivalent facility to NETMEETING is in W7. I know you can use solutions such as logmein etc but these all require EXTERNAL servers to be available.

Netmeeting was fine -- especially for SHARING desktops etc and it could all be done via the company's OWN LAN -- no external providers needed.

NOTE I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT REMOTE DESKTOP (RDP) here --everytime Neetmeeting gets mentioned people often suggest RDP -- that is NOT what NETMEETING IS FOR -- different application entirely.

Cheers

jimbo

I love Windows 7! It's my 2nd favorite OS after Linux. I used to be a hardcore Mac fanboy until I finally figured out I was way overpaying for the same hardware. I also loathe Apple's policies on their software. I like to customize my OS to how I work. Apple is by far the least customizable OS of the three I use.

Anyhow, a couple of things I wish Windows 7 did that Linux and Mac OS do:

1. I wish I could scroll on a window that wasn't the focused window. I.E. Say I've got an IM chat window open and focused but a browser window in the backgrownd. I'd like to be able to scroll through the browser window without actually switching to it.

2. I wish I could have decent virtual work spaces. I LOVE the way Linux does virtual desktops. Mac OS is OK but, Linux is the bomb! I've tried some 3rd party stuff for Windows 7 but, they just don't cut the mustard.

3. In XP, I used to have all the folders in my Start Menu set up with their own custom icons so I could easily and visually locate stuff. I haven't found a way to do this in Windows 7. Minor anoyance.

Other than that, Windows 7 is by far the best thing Microsoft has ever turned out. I love it! :geek:

EDIT
:

P.S. Why, oh why, can't Internet Explorer remember window sizing?!?!?

This machine was given to me when my dad bought a new computer. I keep throwing upgrades at it and it keeps on ticking. Think I've done everything to it that can be done outside a PSU upgrade so I can run an even BETTER GPU.

You can but it depends on support from the mouse drivers.

Hi waggy

Welcome to Seven Forums :)

From MS forum

Vista/Win7 uses a different file structure than XP does/did. Those familiar
folder names you may be used to, like "My Documents", "Documents &
Settings", etc. are not folders in Vista/Win7. They are junction points,
and are used for legacy programs which were written to utilize the XP file
structure.

href="http://www.svrops.com/svrops/articles/jpoints.htm">Svrops.com - Windows Vista Junction Points
They will redirect the programs to use the equivalent Vista/Win7 folders.
If you keep the protected operating system files hidden, you won't see them.

In Vista/Win7......
Documents & Settings -> \Users
My Documents -> \Users\youraccount\Documents
My Music -> \Users\youraccount\Music
Application Data -> \Users\youraccount\AppData
etc.

Favorites is located under your user account folder.

I think I have seen this as well. Doc's/Settings is not listed when you browse the computer, but if you click on the "Users" folder, it will take you to your user which is a subfolder of Doc's/Settings

1. I wish I could scroll on a window that wasn't the focused window. I.E. Say I've got an IM chat window open and focused but a browser window in the backgrownd. I'd like to be able to scroll through the browser window without actually switching to it.

You can but it depends on support from the mouse drivers.

It shouldn't. It should be built into the OS. It is a built in feature of the OS in the other two. If it's dependent on mouse/touchpad drivers, I have yet to see any that support it.

I'm still liking me some Windows 7. This is just a minor annoyance I posted in a "post your minor annoyances thread."

Other Info
This machine was given to me when my dad bought a new computer. I keep throwing upgrades at it and it keeps on ticking. Think I've done everything to it that can be done outside a PSU upgrade so I can run an even BETTER GPU.
