Got it installed on a P4 3.2Ghz with 2G of RAM.

It runs fine, stable, but it doesn't multi task well lol, it's the hardware's short coming rather than the OS.

Multi-task is working like charm here. Using Photoshop CS4, foobar, Chrome, Word and one big game at the same time without any trouble.

Whenever I try to stream music, the music starts but then abruptly stops and I get a message that there is some sort of permissions issue with my firewall even though they are all set. When this happens, it shuts down my network.

I can't connect and when I did a diagnostic, it said my ethernet cable wasn't attached. This happenes both under the Windows firewall as well as Comodo (not running at the same time, obviously). I could not find any reported issues with Rhapsody and Win7. I'm wondering if there is a port someplace that's not open. FWIW, I installed the most recent updated version of Rhapsody which is optimized for Win 7. I still have an older version backed up so I may try installing that instead.

Edit: I tried installing the prior version and it works fine. I noticed some DRM components were installed which I didn't see with the most updated version. I wonder if RealNetworks excluded something which caused the error.
That's weird. What version of Rhapsody were you running and which are you running now? I'm on 4.0 build 5.209 and it's working perfectly. I'm not sure if it's Windows 7 optimized or whatever, it's just the one that it gave me when I clicked on download player on the site.

Why would you use the Small Taskbar and then that giant abomination directly above it that presumably just provides launchers when you could just use the taskbar for that?
