    Did anybody else find bugs in windows 7. The first 1 is with my windows 7 64 bit if i start up and right click on anything to rename or highlight a few MP3 files and right click to play it stalls and says not responding and if i click red x a few times it closes and then i can right click no problem its minor but annoying all the same did any body else come accross that it doesnt happen on my 32bit W7.

    Another 1 i found on my 32 bit W7 didnt try it on my 64 bit but its if u have a folder in destop named new folder the automatic name that comes up when u create one and then create another folder and try to name it what ever u want it wont allow me 2( works perfect in My Documents)its not as annoying as the first as it would hardly ever come up but 64 bit problem is annoying as i use that pc everyday.

    im unable to recreate the errors youre talking about. Had you considered the possibility it is a virus, or a hardware issue? How new is the 64-bit computer, and who sold it to you.

    I have an i5 64bit with win 7..

    If utorrent is open, my firefox loses functionality.

    I'm using version 3.0.15 as it's stable enough to work on vista and 7

    No i dont have any virus on both pc's. I installed windows 7 on laptop and desktop myself on clean hard drives and built desktop myself (custom case, 6 G ram, 7 fans, i7 processor, 1.5 T HDD, 1 T HDD, after market cooling fan and heat sink, graphics card, USB 3.0 inabled(i know their not out yet but has 2 sockets ready for it) so its a fairly high spec. Maybe im just unlucky. Oh yea its 64 bit ultimate if that makes any difference.

    This just sounds like your hard drives are taking a couple of seconds to spin up? No idea with your second problem, sounds very strange?

    Sounds like a Windows 7 issue to me. To rule out other issues, you could try a Ubunutu Linux 'livecd' and try to recreate the issue. At least you will know if Windows 64 is at fault.

    Its a wonderful sounding spec o_O you've run your stability checks? Memtest86+, etc.? Your Northbridge and Southbridge drivers are installed and current?

    Sounds like the same problem described here: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" error after right clicking.

    Yea thanks for that some of them problems are the same as my 64 bit problem. I was thinking i couldnt be the only 1 with it. But also a lot of their problem are not from windows but 3rd party software so maybe i will have to disable some programs and figure out which 1 is at fault, the problem is i have alot of programs.
