Major Windows 7 Problem
The screen stayed frozen at that screen, with the Windows orb glowing for about 3 hours. Setup, then commenced. Setup then restarted the computer, and same thing again, this time. The new startup animation came, and the screen was frozen at the glowing Windows logo for about another 2 hours. Setup then continued, and I was able to get to a usable desktop. However, there were more problems. Using the built in troubleshooter it said, that drivers need to be updated. One specific problem was that Aero didn't work. In my Vista, Aero works 100%. However, Windows 7 said to update my graphics card drivers, along with other drivers. I was able to update a few of the drivers using Windows Update, but not all the drivers. Windows Update then restarted the computer, and same thing again, after the new startup animation, glowing Windows icon. I did not wait for the few hours, rather I just rebooted back into Vista, and finding this site, came to post for help. However, when I boot Windows 7 in safe mode, it starts up normally.
Guys, if anyone knows, what's going on in here, can YOU GUYS PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I waited so long for the Beta to come out, and now this happens. As far as I know, everyone else, seems to be ok. I am asumming, something is wrong with my computer, but what. I bought this HP G60-127 CL notebook about a month ago. In Vista, I have no problems. I ran some diagnostics, and it said that the hardware was good.
Here are my system specs
Processor AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-70, 2000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
3 GB RAM, a 30 GB partition for Windows 7
My Vista is a Home Premium OEM + SP1, that came on the computer.
I don't know what to do
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!

*So you mean I have to redownload and reburn since Microsoft has updated the iso's.
Is this problem common or is it just me.
I mean if they updated with fixes, shouldn't it be a new build

Maybe there is an issue trying to dual boot between Vista Home and Windows 7 Ultimate? Have you verified that you can dual boot with Win7?

These are the two traditional fixes in Vista. I suggest you create a system restore point then have a look at these registry keys:
1. If some items are missing, click the Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Control Panel\don'tload and delete items in the right pane that you want to see in Control Panel.2. If Control Panel is not appearing at all, click the Windows Orb
(Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. In the right pane look for NoControlPanel, right-click it and make its value 0 (zero).If you are denied entry to regedit it's a classic symptom of infection.

I had a look at what you suggested anyway, but there is no "Don't load" as far as I can see.

I'm quite aware that you're running Win7. I thought I would give you a long shot and perhaps sort out your problem!
Did you look for the second key?
Is the machine 'clean'?

And yes, as far as I know its clean.

Here is another 'straw-clutcher', which I'm not greatly confident will cure the issue but you have to try everything:
Run the System File Checker (SFC) from an elevated Command Prompt, i.e. click the Windows Orb (Start) > All Programs > Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then 'Run as Administrator'. Type sfc /scannow (note the space) and press Enter. This may take some time and, depending upon your installation of Windows, you may have to put the DVD in the drive.
SFC appends its results to a log file named CBS.log, which is located in the \Windows\Logs\CBS folder. Use Notepad to read it (you may need to run Notepad as the Administrator).
To find the errors, go to the end of the file (Ctrl+End) then use 'Find' (Ctrl+F) to check for the words 'cannot repair', use search 'Up' to search upwards from the end of the file.

Having to Disable and Re-Enable Network Interface Every Time Before Use
Every time I reconnect to a wired network after using my wireless interface, I am forced to disable and then re-enable the wired network interface in order for Windows to find my local gateway; without flapping the interface, the task panel icon reports that I only have local connectivity.
This happens consistently and consistently on every wired network I use. I've tried disabling IPv6 and Autoconfiguration on all of my interface and have had no luck.
This has been an issue for as long as I've been using Windows Vista and would like to fix it as I've gotten most of the other annoyances to tolerable levels.

Hi,
First, I would like to confirm:
1. How do you switch from the wireless network to the wired network?
2. Can the Windows Vista machine get the IP address from the DHCP server when the issue occurs?
3. Can you ping the default gateway from the Windows Vista machine when the issue occurs?
And then, please collect the following information for further research:
1. When the issue occurs, please type the command ipconfig /all and copy the output to here.
2. When the issue occurs, please type the command route print and copy the output to here.
3. When the issue occurs, try to access the website http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt and check the result. If it fails, please click Diagnose Connection Problems in the Internet Explorer, and let me know the result.
4. After resetting the network connection (the issue disappears), type the commands ipconfig /all and route print and copy the output of them to here.
You could zip the above information and upload the following space:
https://sftasia.one.microsoft.com/choosetransfer.aspx?key=7ab14d36-4aa4-4085-b096-a160bc912362
Password: D!X1@SSB1vIjB^a]
Additionally, when the issue occurs, please type the commands ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew, and then check if the issue can be solved.
I look forward to your response.

Hello,
I'm having the same issues, with a wireless connection on one machine, and a wired and wireless connection on another machine. The machine does get the IP address from DHCP server, and I can ping the default gateway. Although when I run ipconfig /all the default gateway does not show up. I tried zipping you my results from everything you wanted us to try and it said the password was wrong. Any ideas? Ipconfig/release and renew does solve the problem, but just like resetting the connection it only works until there is a reboot, then I have to do it again, and I shouldn't!!
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks,

64 bit, but that shouldnt be a difference in this case.
BITS and conficker
One of the side-effects of the recent conficker worm is that it leaves the BITS and AU services in a bad state. They get set to disabled and stopped.
We already have a GPO that enforces them to be the correct state but a lot of our clients have problems starting them (service specific error: 2147467243) and I use "sc \\systemname sdset bits "xyz"" to get BITs to start again.
This is catch 22 for me, I have a lot of clients that aren't receiving advertisements because of BITs can't start and everything works fine when I run the sc sdset but I don't really want to do this for each and every client and even if that is the only way, the clients currently offline or inaccessible will get missed.
This is going to add a lot of work but I am hoping some of you have a more efficient solution to this.
Thank you!

Windows 7's Installer no longer Installs or Removes programs.
Windows Installer has stopped working.
Another windows asks if I want to send more information. I hit yes, if only to give Microsoft benchmarks on how many times this crashes.
Thinking it may be a problem with Kaspersky's installer, I moved on and tried to install Google Gears. It, too, gets the crashed Windows installer message.
Rebooting the computer isn't working.
Is there a workaround, short of blowing up my Win7 install and starting fresh, for getting Windows Installer to work? A way to reinstall just Windows Installer?
(On a side note, is there a good, free partition copying software out there? If I'm going to be reinstalling Windows 7 over and over again, I'd like to just ghost the parition onto my RAID array and refresh the partition if things go belly up)

Tried it, but it still didn't work.
Any other way to fix "Windows Installer" short of a reinstall?
Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can repair from the disk.
Is there a service, process, or executable file I could kill and/or delete and trick Windows into getting a new "copy" of Windows Installer? I don't know how "core" Windows Installer is; I don't know if there's a process similar to doing an end-run around a malfunctioning Debian apt-get, for example.

When I got home tonight, I'll be wiping out the installation, building a new one, installing my drivers, and then making an image of the partition, so if I hit this type of snag again I can ditch out to my backup.
And I only had 20 hours of uptime over here before my problem as well :D
Perhaps Installer is just beta, or it hung on something internally? As I can't figure out a way to uninstall and reinstall Windows Installer, there's no way for me, the end user, to know what's at fault.

for some reason, when i open the control panel, it never loads any icons. the window actually pops up, and that gray bar goes across in the address bar, but no icons show up. so i can't do anything from control panel.
also, when i right click my computer and go to properties, nothing ever happens. no window pops up or anything. the computer will "think" for like 3 seconds, but then stops "thinking" as if i never told it to do anything. it does the same thing whenever i try to open up Steam. it acts like it's loading something for like 5 seconds, then it'll stop doing what its doing and never load it. i've tried reinstalling steam, but that didn't work.
it didn't always do this. the system was running great until i decided to boot into xp one day. i made no software changes or installed any updates before i rebooted.

This forum is moving the week of 1/27/2009
Microsoft has created a new forums platform (MSDN | TechNet | Expression | Microsoft) with increased performance, stability, and an improved user experience. During the week of 1/27/2009 this forum will move from the Forums 2.x Platform (http://forums.microsoft.com/) to the Forums 3.x Platform. To make sure this is a smooth transition, we want everyone using this forum to have a chance to try out the new forums in advance, and give feedback. We've created a Sandbox forum, where you can create threads and try out functionality, and a suggestions forum where you can give us your feedback. Please take some time to go to the new forums today and let us know what you think.
On the day the forum moves to the new platform, a post will be made letting you know the process has been started, and the forum will be locked to new posts. Once the process is complete, a final post to the forum will be made letting you know the forum has moved.
1. All posts in the forum will be preserved
2. Any points you've received for replies will move with you (on a per forum basis)
3. Any bookmarks to this forum or threads within this forum will redirect to their new location
4. Your "My Threads" will be preserved on the new platform
The only thing you'll need to do after migration is set Windows Live Alerts for any threads you were tracking.
If you have feedback, let us know in the suggestions forum or contact the forum product planners directly at Andrew.Brenner at Microsoft.com or Jeremy.Kelley at Microsoft.com
Thanks,

Forma de pesquisar no forum - SUGESTÃO
Eu gostaria de sugerir:
1 - A pesquisa no forum poderia permitir uma pesquisa composta.
Exemplo: Informo o texto de pesquisa ->> "welcome" AND "sandbox"
click no botão search.
A pesquisa me retornaria todos os posts contendo "welcome" e que tambem contendo "sandbox".
Talvez criando padrões, de palavras entre aspas e conector AND, OR entre as palavras entre aspas.
Como diz um politico aqui do Brasil. "Isso dá pra fazer!".
2 - A pesquisa no forum poderia permitir uma pesquisa no resultado da pesquisa.
Exemplo: Informo o texto de pesquisa ->> "welcome"
click no botão search.
A pesquisa me retornaria todos os posts contendo "welcome".
Eu poderia informar novo texto: "sandbox"
click no botão search nos resultados.
Obs: Isso tambem dá pra fazer!
Obrigado.
Bom trabalho a todos.

Isso será muito bom caso acatem essas sugestões. Principalmente a segunda, que é continuar uma pesquisa a partir do resultado da primeira.

If you upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 you would have carried your Add-On's with you. I suggest disabling all of your Add-On's for a bit and see how things shake out.
I can honestly say that I have never experienced the type of issues that you are describing using any of the IE7/IE8-Beta products which lends me to believe that the product works.
