That also is NOT acceptable. Unfortunately, we can't catch everyone who wants to bash a company on our site. You just happened to luck out and post in a thread where I'm involved Acer is no more either.

Nope .. Nothing.
Was playing with themes and some themes with a solid color background showed no desktop Icons.
Think I'll reinstall it and start over.

Gotta love Beta

Turn UAC back on, you can use the lowest setting. This is either Microsoft forcing you to use UAC or a bug in the beta.

Now you tell me .. That it’s too late
More than it being a beta version .. I should be getting paid for this…
It anyone can get it to mess up .. It’d be me

The extra partition confuses an Acronis recovery a little .. but I got it to work on the second try.
Acronis reverses the Partition letter assignments

Still no Gadgets.
I set the UAC to the next highest annoyance level .. and guess what ???
There’s my gadgets.

Hello frnds,

Finally it has been released.. the beta version and this will expire on 1 August 2009. I tried downloading it...but it was not a success, My frnd was successful with it...so I tried my hands at it.. I seriously found it amazing... specially the feature which turns the open windows into glass windows..letting you see what lies beneath... and the taskbar is taller with the icons which can be resized accordingly..instead of buttons. I really found it cool...

alina.wilson1, I merged your post with the ongoing thread, please don't start new posts for an existing topic.

With a basic install of W-7 that's been defragged ...
Why won't it let me shrink the partition to any size any less than 121G ???
