7068 bugs!

[dversa]

memory is not showing in computer properties?

corruption of taskbar icons (in the toolbar- desktop, custom or otherwise) in small icon mode, works fine in large mode. also affects icons in a few other random but rare places. -- to fix if you havethis issue; search for iconcache.db and delete the one file, then change resolution depth to 16bit and back, icon db rebuilds.
-
quake live has issues running in the browser, but works (if with some awful scanlines) in fullscreen, provided i can get it there at all in the first place. might just be me.
-
gadgets don't save settings at all. doesn't matter what i input, how i close them.
-
lots of files and folders are completely inaccessible to me, including my usual download folder, though some can be 'claimed' using the take ownership context menu hack thingy.
-
realtek hd audio drivers 2.20 for vista 64 and maybe other versions, do not play nice on the evga 730i motherboard, sound will play fine for a while, and then start oscillating randomly in loudness, undetectable at really low volumes, obvious when you turn things up to a decent loudness.

Ive noticed that when my PC resumes from sleep mode there are no devices showing in Network other than itself.
All connections are still working though but i need to re boot to get them all showing again.
No big deal for me.

Hi, new here.
just installed Windows 7, build 7068, i jumped from build 7000 to 7068, since i thought it was worth the jump, and to see if they (m$oft) have fixed the issues that i was having.
to my suprise alot of the problems i was having, were fixed, for example, windows media player 12, in a remote library, if you select by 'artist' it would not play the song you selected but only the one at the bottom. this is fixed now.

okay, so far i've noticed the issue with windows media player 12 and the pause button issue, i've also noticed that remote library searching is alot quicker then build 7000, so that's good. also in wmp12, i noticed that sometimes my library of music shows 2 copies of my songs, instead of 1, i've decided i'll use winamp or media player classic till this clears up any-way.

no issues at all with drivers, except for my fingerprint scanner software won't install, but i havn't looked into it much yet. so yeah, using a toshiba a300 here, and 32bit, and all seems to be running nicely, halo 1 and 2, avast home 4.8, sony vegas 9, virtual box, no issues, so yeah. also, had a problem with the emoticons, in build 7000 in windows live messenger and it's fixed in 7068. so yeah.

Just installed 7068 after using 7000. At the moment, a quad-boot system (see my specs), but will revert back to a triple boot (Vista and W7 7068) when I get time. Nice, easy and quick installation - no problems there. The only bug that I have found so far appears to be with the pinning of items to the taskbar. In build 7000, I was able to pin both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer. However, with build 7068, it is either one or the other but NOT both.

 

[electricbluejase]

i have a question actually, do you think it's better to install a 64bit windows 7 or leave and test the 32bit, i only got 2gb ram, ati 3650 graphics, 2ghz intel dual core, 250gb hard drive. so yeah.

S5000 SASR Drivers

First off hello to everyone, I am running 7000 but am trying to go to 7068, I'd like to do a fresh install but I cannot get it to find my drive.. Build 7000 comes up perfectly without me having to load any additional drivers during setup. The board is an Intel S5000XVNSASR (dual quad core xeon, 8 gigs), I've got a stripe set on the Embedded SASR.. Curious if anyone has any suggestions.

I'm currently reinstalling a fresh copy of 7000 in an attempt to upgrade (as clean as possible) to 7068, I'll let you know if that works..

When I did run 7000 here were the issues I experienced.

1. Could not load Visual Studio 2008 SP1
2. Issues loading Adobe CS3 (it was a pita on vista 64 as well)
3. When going back and forth between RDP and console sessions on the machine it would not show all running apps in the taskbar but yet if you opened task manager you could "switch to" and then it would be back to normal however you had to do that for all in question which sometimes was a lot.. I wrote a little util that grabbed the window handle of each running app and set focus to it, that seemed to work although I had issues with sub threads like emails in outlook.. never did finish that part..

Everything else worked like a champ, really looking forward to getting 7068 working.. If anyone has any ideas about the drivers I'd love to learn..

thanks

yeah, I am reading over it jfar, thanks.

When you say 'Drive' do you mean your HD or DVD drive?

 

[a94ws7]

I'm trying a fresh install of 7068 from running setup in 7000, I'm hoping upon reboot it will have the drivers and finish.. hopefully I can just kill the windows.old and be left with a nice clean copy, lol.. I'll let you know how it goes..

 

[a94ws7]

nice.. just blue screened after reboot.. guess I'll try a flat upgrade..

Does it give any specific info? e.g. A Hardware/Sofwtare ID.

 

[DjiXas]

Changing icon of .txt shortcut in desktop doesn't work.

When sending photo via skype and opening at the same time with default pic viewer, it opens it in the background.

Can't reproduce this: had 2 separate tabs for .txt docs, no idea why

 

[a94ws7]

It just didn't have (or know to load) the SAS controller driver.. I'm attempting a flat upgrade now after loading 7000 and doing nothing more than updating it.. Fingers crossed..

I gotta say, even if I stick with 7000 for the time being, aside from those few issues I posted it was rock solid.. I guess I can try a build in between if this doesn't work.

 

[a94ws7]

Ok, I officially give up..Got the 7B stop error again..

 

[Dwarf]

Possible bug with the Resource and Performance Monitor. The first 2 images are from this tool, whereas the final image is from the Action Center.

hey, what exactly does the stop error say? can you reproduce this, so we can try and help you?

bugs 7068

I upgraded from build 7000 x64 to 7057 x64 without a problem. Now I trying to upgrade from 7057 to 7068 x64 and have found two problems:
a) first message said that said the Ati manager center was the culprit, i uninstalled it.
b) now its saying that I need more space in my drive C: (seagate 80 gb), although I have 11 gb free.


(Asus p5q del, intel E8400, 2 gb ram (kingston), 1 Seagate Sata 80 gb and 1 Seagate Sata 1.5 Tb, HD 3850 Powercolor)



I did a fresh install in other desktop computer and it was ok


Any help would be appreciated.
