Okay, I've been having a rather strange problem ever since I installed the RC. Whenever I click All Programs, I just get a blank start menu. The other reports of this say the problem is something to do with the number of items to the right, but that's had no effect.  Any ideas?

phosdex posted:Is there anything in your start menu folders? Right-click All Programs and choose Open, do it again and choose Open All Users. Yes, sorry completely forgot to mention that. It's all there in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and the local one too. I also removed one of those directories to see if that would do anything. It didn't. Edit: kapinga posted:I'm surprised it took this long for someone to run into that here. It's supposedly related to the number of items in the All Programs folders. My roommate suffers from this bug, but I do not, even though I have 84 odd entries. Thanks  Second Edit: It fucks up on reboot and can fix itself. I've sort of hosed it up worse now. I've learnt my lesson and do a proper reinstall when it goes live on Ultimate Steal. (Which is basically Microsofts new, less legitimate sounding version of a student licence.)

Jewmanji posted:Does anyone ever lose the taskbar when the computer wakes up? The only way for me to bring it back it seems, is to restart, but it's pain in the rear end so I spend a ton of time just win+tabbing my way through life. Yes, I had that problem for a while. Do you have a screensaver enabled? When I disabled mine, that problem went away by itself.

CitizenKain posted:I switched to Win7 this weekend, and so far everything works but Fallout 3. I get as far as the first splash screen when it loads, and then nothing. None of the compatibility modes work for it either. I still need some more time messing around with it to see if I can narrow things down, but its not looking good. Try disabling Anti-Aliasing, it causes fallout to do funky poo poo. On an off note: GNR is stuttering really bad for me under 7100, which it didn't on 7000.

Corte posted:Anyone else had issues getting Fallout 3 to run with the most recent build of Windows 7 RC? I had some issues with 7000, but I sorted those out by launching it through steam and disabling anti-aliasing. However in 7100, the music in GNR stutters really badly, which can make it almost unplayable.

Alystair posted:Random tip: Pressing shift while right-clicking an application in the taskbar brings up the old restore/move/minimize/close/etc menu. Handy because the "move" option is absent from the new one. Thanks, I've not used that menu for ages though, because when I was using linux I got so used to the hold alt and drag to move windows shortcut that I installed http://taekwindow.sourceforge.net/ when I started using 7.

Chikimiki posted:Just installed Windows 7 and it seems to run nicely, though I really need to get used to that glossy interface.. I'm so used to the old grey look. Have you tried AbiWord? It's not a full office suite, but it's very fast and less bloaty than OpenOffice.

Couldn't you schedule a task every few days to run taskkill /f /im eeectl.exe , or something to that nature?

I'm getting a new laptop soon, and I'll be doing the Windows 7 upgrade that's free but actually costs £20, a full £10 off the student edition they're selling. I was just wondering whether I could just install 7100 and then upgrade to RTM when I get the upgrade disk in the post, or whether I can install RTM and then give that the key when I get it. (Not using MSDNAA, as I'm not going to be reading CompSci.)
