Its nice in crysis but the OS (Windows 7 64bit home edition) is a peice of... well you know what I am trying to say. I just tried to exit a program and it would not exit at all. ALT+CTRL+DELETE and then my comp just locks up....... my music was still playing I could still see my screen but it just froze. Had to manual shut down comp. I have similiar problems with other programs that worked great in Vista 64 bit home premium. Debut now does not work. Wavepad only had limited functionality and I think Microsoft needs to fire some people. Is it seriously this hard for a billion dollar company to fix there bugs? Or does anybody have any insite as to why it loves to not work? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to anyone that has upgraded to Win7.....it blows away Vista! Have you tried to run the programs in "compatability mode"? Right click on the shortcut for the program and select Troubleshoot Compatibility...then follow the instructions. It should let you run some older programs that worked with Vista and XP, but were not programmed to work with Win7 (Like CoD2). Hope that helps.

But it seems MANY programs do not wish to cooperate. Even vent locks up whenever I try to talk. Crysis works. other games work. Just not my utilities. I am not using anything that takes up much of the system so that should not be the problem. Added to list: Camtasia and Vent. Time to find more! Mabey it was just a bad install or something. Becuase a lot of programs that I normally used on vista do not work. I should not have to use compatability on every program. And I have tried with a couple and they still will not work.

Good luck bro- If that doesn't work, keep posting --there is enough brain matter out there to fix--these guy's are sharp. PS :64 bit is way different in a lot of things--I have it, and when you download stuff you have to look exclusively for 64 bit versions or you are gonna run into bad problems. Sometimes irreversable. Also cntrl alt del s not how win 7 goes into task manager it's different now it sometimes will- but that is not the new protocol(dont ask lol)-I am sorry that I dont remember off hand what the new thing is but if you cant find it I have it somewhere and can give it to you.

I have had a friend confirm this. Not all of the resources are being taken up by these processes. none of the hardware is being maxed so that is not the problem. THere are bugs in my Win 7 Here is the errror Report I get for Debut. Problem Event Name: AppHangB1 Application Name: debut.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 4bc7bbd2 Hang Signature: ea3a Hang Type: 0 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Hang Signature 1: ea3a0d1c157d50f03dcd67efe0da8024 Additional Hang Signature 2: 4dde Additional Hang Signature 3: 4dde66814936d5ef9a7a0f1122106d25 Additional Hang Signature 4: ea3a Additional Hang Signature 5: ea3a0d1c157d50f03dcd67efe0da8024 Additional Hang Signature 6: 4dde Additional Hang Signature 7: 4dde66814936d5ef9a7a0f1122106d25 I have tried everything I know of possible. Administrator, changing the compatability and nothing will work. yes it will record but I cannot access the program again. It takes a minute or 2 for the program to show up but it is unresponsive and has to be closed with command prompt or other tools. Vent 64bit freezes right as I click connect. Xfire crashes right when I click voice call. Camstudio creates a lighshow on my monitor that will not go away without manual turn off. Computer showed up just a couple days ago. Has not malware on it. (I am very sure of that, trust me) Im thinking I will need to reinstall win 7. my mom did not wish to get the "Professional" becuase it costed more. But even still there should be NO difference between home and proffesional except for a few tools. And the comp is X64 bit and the other comp was a x64bit vista. the Vista never crapped out on me. but this.... this is just ridiculous. Vent crashes, xfire crashes, my favorite program (Debut) crashes...... Mabey I might need a reinstall but I am not sure if I have the disks or not.

Dell is pretty bad about this. Within all that bloatware they install, you should be able to find a Dell update manager or something.....check into these things.

HURAY! and yes 7 is now awesome. Problem was that CCC (suite) edition wasnt installed. And I think that might have updated a driver or something on it. But now debut works with no issues. Vent works (But I fixed that a different way) and I think Xfire will now work. Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
