This entry shall enable all ieXwiki members to list bugs found in Windows 7 Open Beta 1 (Build 7000), and for other members to comment on fixes, workarounds and causes. Be as descriptive as possible!

Do not post problems with software unless you are certain it is a general bug in Windows 7 itself (i.e. bad compatablity emulation). Post any actual software issues in this alternative listing.

NOTES:

  • Please mention if it applies to the 32-Bit, 64-Bit or both Builds!


Terminology

  • Bug Description (Mention Architecture in brackets): A general description of the bug
    • Cause : The actions a user must perform for the bug to occur
      • Solution : A theoretical way of fixing the problem, which indicates the nature of the bug is understood
        • Workaround : A method that requires the User's action to negate the bug This will probably be the most common Solution
        • Fix : A transparent solution, either by way of a program or script, that prevents the adverse effects of the bug automatically, by negating the bug's effects
        • Patch : A complete and transparent solution, by actually finding the bug and correcting it, via a registry hack or (for microsoft engineers only) recoding it. Also may include removing or disabling the function from Windows 7 entirely if plausible

MP3 killer

  • Bug description (32 bit, 64 bit) : Windows Media Player 12 can corrupt the beginning of a variable rate mp3 file

Animated GIF playback

  • Bug description (64 bit) : Noticeable in Windows Live Messenger 2009, animated gif avatars do not always correctly draw subsequent frames
    • Cause : Native image handling system does not correctly erase previous frame before drawing next franme, resulting in garbled image
      • Solution : None so far. Must be addressed by Microsoft.
