Vague title I know, but I have been having some issues ever since I uninstalled and reinstalled Black & White on my Windows 7. First things first, what I did:
-I run the uninstallation program. After that was done, I manually deleted any remaining files from the folder.
-Installed the game again in C:\Users\Public\Games\Black & White
-Applied patches 1.1 and 1.2, Football and Village Banter addons and lastly all the Creature Unlockers.

So the following random issues popped up as I was playing:
-The game crashed the first time I tried to enter the Vortex in Land 1. I KNOW Vortexes tend to be glitchy like that, so I reloaded and tried again, this time bringing in fewer objects. It worked the second time.
-The game now freezes at the "Saving" screen any time I quit. It still saves it though, when I run the game again, it brings me right where I was when I quit. This could just be my Windows being stupid.
-I was doing Khazar's Fireball challenge, you know the one where it locks your camera until you torch all the houses. Suddenly, a cutscene happens from another challenge that was still ongoing and when it ends the camera is still locked. I can't move back to the spot where I throw the Fireballs and the challenge can't end until I throw all of them, so I'm stuck there. Entering and exiting the Temple didn't work, so my next idea was to load a previous save. Guess what, suddenly the game freezes when I try to load any of my saves in the Save Room. Restarting Windows, restarting B & W, entering the Save Room again and trying to load one of the saves? Nope, doesn't work either.

Are stupid little problems like that common, or am I just being very unlucky?
 
Try running in administrator. Since B&W is an older game it doesn't understand window 7's security for the files in "Program Files (x86)".
  This is most likely causing the saving problems.

I'm not too sure about the vortex.

Khazar's Fireball challenge: may be a bug in the game, nothing to do with windows 7.

These problems aren't very common. I still play B&W on my windows 7 system and I've never run into these problems. So you're just very unlucky.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I WAS running it as administrator the whole time. Just my rotten luck, then.
