7068 bugs!

[neo7]

'All Programs' in Start Menu is blank in 7068 x64. Tried repair install and creating a new user account, but still 'All Programs' is empty. Registry values are all OK and items are navigable in the original folders that are used to populate 'All Programs' and have correct permissions, exactly as on another 7068 x86 machine where Start Menu is fine. Many 7068 x64 have had the same like http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/6212-all-programs-menu-blank.html

with build 7068, I'm finding that I'm getting BSOD every once in awhile...this is from a clean install just a few days ago too..I received the BSOD at least 5 times already...

 

[neo7]

Yes BSOD with some USB devices upon un-plugging them--confirmed.

Playing H.A.W.X in DX10 mode and it kicks me from a full screen to a mini screen w/no graphics. I then crtl+atl+del then press task manager, that gets my mouse working on the desktop, then I click the hawx icon and I am back in game. Dont lose anything but it happens every 5mins or so...annoying. Works fine non DX10 mode....

Not sure what bugs you are talking about?
This is the most stable build of all so far.
After all it is an early RC.

I am very happy with the 7068 build also just the same Media Center glitch with the sound and video stuttering at times in live TV but the recorded TV is fine other than that issue running fast and solid.

ive been running build 7068 x86 and still notice this bug that ive seen since build 7000..when u right click on something about 1/3-1/2 the time i get a windows explorer is not responding and than reboots explorer..this is one of the only bugs i have really noticed alot over all the builds i have testesd..hope they address this one soon.

7068 running absolutely perfectly, on my main box (x64) and the Lenovo R61 (after I disabled the PCI Memory Controller) (x86).

Unbelievable really!

I upgraded from 7000 to 7048 to 7057 and now to 7068. All were x64. Now for some reason task manager reports 7.4 gigs of ram. All other OS'es reported the proper amount. WEI does report 8 gigs tho...

darco

I'm running the same build as you and my task manager reports it as 8191 of physical memory

The same happens to me. When I right click, go to New, and then folder, it doesn't show up. I have to refresh the folder I'm looking at to get it to show... then right click and hit rename. A bit annoying really. Only bug I've really noticed in 7068 so far.

One more thing, I'm not sure if it's a 7068 problem or network problem, but putting in the correct key for my network doesn't allow it to connect wirelessly on my laptop. All other desktops (with 7) and laptops (with vista) connect perfectly fine.

hmm strange...just noticed that under systems, it is showing 4gb installed but only 3.5 gb is usable..I did a clean install of build 7068 too and it's the 64 bit version...under task manager the total ram shows only 3.5gb too...

I have a folder on my c: drive named 'desktops'. In it I store a handful of desktop wallpapers. I have my background set to slideshow and it scrolls through these images. However it keeps reverting to one image and then inserting an 'Unsaved Theme' on my personalize page. I set it back to my saved theme and delete the new entry.

My Recyle Bin is overflowing with deleted 'custom theme' files and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Another bug that wasn't happening on any previous build:

If you try to install from a bootable USB stick, you get an error during installation's first screen that CD/DVD required driver is missing.

The workaround is to put any cd/dvd in the dvd drive and restart installation. Once the DVD drive is not empty (!) the isntallation proceeds fine..

i dunno wat its all about u talkin of but in my case in win 7000 my USB KEY doggle is not workin .... it was workin fine in vista im downloadin win 7068 i hope it works this time ....

That's actually not a Windows error -- part of your RAM will be used by the BIOS / Mobo -- for example if you've got an integrated sound card / video card / both etc. The memory left after these is what Windows can use for its processing.

You *might* be able to free up some memory by twiddling around with the BIOS settings but I doubt it. In the Bios itself you also might see Installed memory / useable memory as well.

Only problem i've had so far is after converting and burning a dvd with convertxtodvd i go to delete the working folder and after deleting the folder it is still there.I close the folder and reopen it and it shows the folder as empty.

 

[chev65]

I've had the theme's change from a slide show to single picture a few times without me doing a thing. Which is pretty much the same problem that Jac 4 posts up is describing. That is a bug for sure and I can concure with Jac that this bug is for real.

Also I've had sleep turn itself on after I told it to never turn on. I had this same problem in Vista before also and it looks like it's still there. It seems like something triggers it but I can't tell what it is.

all my folder movement needs refreshimg here also, make a folder I have to refresh it to see it, extract files have to refresh the page, delete same thing, folder isnt there however it is in sight until refresh. I also notice recycle bin hangs sending to and from. just went to build 7068 to check on improvemets today. Thanks :huh:

Hi All,

I am running 64 x2 Athlon 6000+ fresh install 7068 64 bit Build, I have found media centre to be very unstable. The M/B has an onboard Realtek 8139 Network adapter. All of my media is located on a central server and played over the network. I find Media Centre freezes when playing files (I not sure but I have had a lot of issues with it dropping the network, xp works fine so not a hardware issue), I get 100% cpu but the os hasnt frozen, it takes ages to respond to anything (like 15 mins for a mouse click) cursor moves normally though. I have also found that if I have TV recording (Hauppage Nova-S) and play a video my cpu temps hit 70 degrees! just playing a vid on its own 50 degrees. I have checked the heatsink, transfer paste etc.

Am I the only one? :sarc: I might try the 32 bit version to see if it helps with CPU temps and the network dropping.

network shares acting odd -- \\hostname\folder\ works, and all files in that folder, but \\hostname\folder\subfolder\ does not. other box is xp sp3 with simple sharing on (could get to these files fine in the previous xp install on this box)
