Windows 7 7127 - What's New?


Recommended Posts

"Update: Microsoft has made a change in Windows to fix the problem. (No, I will not go into the details.) The fix is in build 7122 and beyond. I can confirm that it works. Those who do not have access to the latest builds will have to use the workaround suggested in this thread. The important thing is there will not be a problem when Win7 ships."

Apparently some games that would not work under 7100 will work on builds after 7122 due to some dx shenanigans, which means that gamers will be wanting to upgrade if they can :)

That explains the issue I've had with Flight Simulator X. It kept saying I had the wrong DirectX version, when in fact I had everything right.

We'll see....

But will punkbuster work in builds that are not officially milestones? Punkbuster magically worked in RC1. Would punkbuster kick for file verseions with 7127?

I am sure someone will get around to trying.

Well, upgrade went fine, no problems at all.

I'll re-install my drivers and some run-times and try out some games that didn't work in 7100 (NWN2 for starters) and report back a bit later.

are you guys downloading this from microsoft? cause i keep getting 7100 from them

This is a leaked build, only available from torrent sites and the like. Microsoft only publicly releases the major milestone builds; internal builds like this are not made available to the general public. Unless Microsoft releases a second Release Candidate the next public release will be the RTM (final) version, but of course that one won't be free:):)

Well I found out that it is :D The bug existed since 7057 and it was present in 7100 as well; it didn't allow you to assign thumbnails to folders (that's what folder.jpg is for)

What's the easiest way to upgrade from 7100 to this build? Just run the install from within 7100?

Will it retain all my settings from 7100 (app installs, etc)?
