Hello

We do not have information on thecompatibility of beachhead 2000 with Windows 7.

Method 1: It is possible that any software third is at the origin of the conflict, run the software to the clean boot and see if that helps.

Reference:

A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.
