Bug/s?

[Guest]

I didn't know where to post this now when beta is over, I hope this is the
right place. I've had these bugs since RC1, and I got lazy of reporting bugs
after Beta2. I figured someone else reports those since those were so
apparent, and it figures, I ended having these same problems in RTM :Blush:.

1. When you click the taskbar and then move mouse over the start button,
you'll see area of the taskbar flickering (left side of the start button).

2. When you start WMP11 first time and it show the setup screen, there is
this OK button, it has doesn't seem to have transparency working, since there
are these small white dots in the corners of that button.

3. I hope this is a bug! IE7 shows all the recently visited folders also in
the Browsing history dropdown list. This makes it really hard to find recent
web pages. If this is how it is intended, there should also be option to turn
this off in the IE options.

Number 1 and 2 are simply display problems that are probably unique to your system. Make sure you have the latest Vista drivers for the installed video adapter.

Number 3 is by design. The browser simply keeps a history of every location that has been accessed. I don't know of any option that can selectively exclude locations.

Might be my GPU then, I have GF 6600 GT and I've always installed newest
Vista beta drivers for it and I think this started after RC1. Now i'm using
ForceWare 97.27, but no luck.

I forgot to ask, is this known problem with certain hardware or was that just
a guess? That flickering might isn't the kind of flickering I've had with
early betas, might not even be flickering at all (I don't know a better word
for it, since English is not my native language). Anyway here is screenshots
of what's happening.

(This is how it usually looks, end of the taskbar on the left side of the
screen has weird darker area compared to right side of the screen.)

(When moving mouse over start button it looks normal. So maybe flickering
was a bad word to describe it)

Here's big screenshots of those, you'll see it clearly when zooming.

Ok, I asked around in one other forum and everyone seems to have this same
issue.
