Issue 1: Upgrade from Vista hangs at 62 percent completed level

Windows 7 can cause problems while upgrading from Windows Vista, as it hangs forever at 62 percent complete level.

Issue 2 : DVD Drive not found

In some scenarios DVD drive is not found in Windows 7 installation. You have checked and found that the drive is visible in BIOS and under the standard driver.

Issue 3: Aero Theme isn’t running

If the transparency has been turned off, this could be because the Aero theme may not be fully enabled on your system.

Issue 4: Aero Snap problems

Windows 7 has a handy new ability to move and resize windows, all in one movement. However, some times it does not work as expected and can become annoying.

Issue 5: iPhone won’t sync with Windows 7 systems

Sometimes the  iPhone does not sync properly with the Windows 7 systems (usually with the 64-bit edition).  The iPhone sometimes gets recognized, however, but then iTunes returns with the error 0xE8000065.

Issue 6: Custom icons get changed with new theme

When new Windows 7 theme is applied to the system, custom icons can be lost.

Issue 7: Taskbar problems

In Windows 7, by looking at the taskbar it is difficult to tell at a glance whether an icon is a running application or a pinned shortcut.

Issue 8: Missing Applets

Installation for Windows 7 is quick and takes less hard drive space as compared with its older counterparts. However, it does not include the applets like Mail, Movie Maker, Photo Galley etc with the standard Windows installation.

Issue 9: Too many minidumps

By default Windows 7 keeps the last 50 minidumps file. These files are the memory images saved on the system when your PC crashes.
