Right off the assembly line
I have a HP Pavillion dv4 Laptop (4GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, 2GH processor). When I installed windows 7 beta, it booted fine a couple of times, but it stopped loading explorer after a while. I sent a feedback to Microsoft and I tried to find some ad-hoc solution myself. It turned out that I could go to the task-manager and start explorer as a new task. From that point on I had no problem, but I had to follow this procedure everytime I rebooted. I have now installed the Release Candidate of Windows 7 and I stll have the same problem It is strange that there is a basic boot problem on a standard machine like HP Pavillion. Incidentally, all keys are disabled at startup except the Ctrl+shift+Escape combination. I will be much obliged if someone out there has a solution to this problem
