I get random crashes in Counter Strike: Source, Songbird (when changing song) and also the desktop slideshow sometimes stops working and shows black instead of an image.

have u tried using an other program to play your music to see if it still crashs?

- Punkbuster does not support Windows 7, that means playing PB enabled games may kick you and give you error:



They do not plan to update for compatability with 7 until it's hit retail release, there is a lot of noise about it and a petition or two, so we may luck out and get some support sooner than later!

For some reason, when I first virtualized/installed Windows 7, it worked fine....

Now my network is "Unidentified", and I can't connect to the internet. Repairing it does nothing (says I have an invalid IP configuration, dunno why, I set it to automatically retrieve settings, which is what I have on my comp).

Anyone have an idea?

have u tried reinstalling your network driver? and are u using a driver from windows 7 setup

BSOD 0x...0124 on Windows 7 startup

Happened during install initially, within 3 min of booting from DVD

I installed the files through my XP install and restarted, BSOD.

So I entered the setup through Safe Mode, which allowed it to install.

Got Windows 7 running, still BSOD on startup. I tried Safe Mode, but setup won't let it advance unless its in regular mode (for activation and such) and I've disabled EVERYTHING in my BIOS that I can and it still gives a BSOD. Some unreconcileable hardware problem I guess.

this sound like its looking for a driver thats not included in windows settup, have you tried unpluging every think and just leaving whats need to install?

has any one had problem shuting down after coming out of sleep?
