I just installed Windows 7 rc, and I cannot seem to install any updates. After several attempts to download the Windows 7 updates (all which resulted in freezing) I finally got them to download, but then they stopped at 99%. In addition to this, I am incapable of shutting down or restarting my computer with any other methods than having to remove the battery because it is completely frozen. I installed it by upgrade from Vista. Also, icons of files in folders do not appear. My computer's details are: "Intel Core 2 Duo CPU , RAM is 4.00GB (2.99GB usable), 32 bit OS. If you need any other information to help you figure out whats wrong, I'll find out.

Hi Aurailen,have you anyantivirus software installed?Temporarily uninstall it. Useclean boot.Whathappened whenyou boot into safe mode? My English is not very well.

You were right, that was exactly the problem. Windows 7 is now working amazingly. Thank you so much!!! *hugs you*

Though, I do have a small problem. I can't seem to uninstall Trend Micro, as it appears that the built in trend micro uninstaller is.. well.. missing. I tried to download (from the trend micro website) the compatable trend micro beta portal for Windows 7, but i couldn't get THAT to install, and i think its just because the uninstaller is gone. How exactly can i uninstall it then? (should I repost this in a different forum or is in here appropriate since it is relevant to my running of windows 7?)

Try thisrecommendations, or contact with Trend Micro support. Hope it helps. My English is not very well.

It did help. Thank you, for the second time ^-^
