List of applications crashing since 7077

[Waylander]

Ambroos,

You can add AnyDVD 6.5.4.0 to the list. I just attempted an installation, and I received that error. CloneDVD installed perfectly.

even last last release works fine, probably the first time they used it to stop people seeing how they decrypt bd+ (wouldnt have thought it was for piracy as iirc its not fully cracked) scene releases with keygens exist but are useless if you have a new blu-ray and need to connect to there update server.

some versions of newsleecher also have this problem http://www.newsleecher.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18197

Why in gods name would you want to run that bloatware anyway?

Older versions, I'd agree, but NIS 2009/NAV 2009 is a totally different animal. Suggested reading.

also a game made by NCsoft Exteel, does not work on build 7077...

[Nadja]

Realtek audio drivers problematic until I right clicked the setup.exe > compatibility tab > compatibility mode > Vista sp1 and voila installed perfectly.

same for Comodo firewall x64, CCleaner, RegistryCleaner x64, RegistryWorkshop x64 and running portable apps in a ramdisk.

Qsoft ramdisk enterprise x64 works well in this version. (auto 50% of 8GB)

I've got a question about Themida. I know it is a software protection product designed to prevent software from being "cracked" and uses encryption. But considering Themida is used by many virus writers, keylogger writers, etc., to conceal their malware, what could the advantages of Themida possibly be? Because no one can be absolutely certain that if and when Themida is detected by AV scanners and such whether it is malware or a legit product.

You can take Newsleecher off that list. It works fine on 7077

Good point. As it's that frequently used by virus writers etc., it's probably even better if it doesn't work :laugh:

The authors of The Bat etc. had better looks for something else.

Haven't installed this build yet. Spotify still doesn't work, even after the latest update?

No it doesn't and I just tried Spotify on build 7106 and got the same error message :|

[hotwasabipeas]

I can't get my Xbox to stream any of my movies and TV shows. It has worked fine with every previous build but now it won't play nice! Hurry up 7106!!

[terroradagio]

Vegas Video Pro 8.0 does not work with 7077 or 7068. It was working with prior builds.

[SuperKid]

xFire gaming application - www.xfire.com it doesn't crash it just has a white blank screen for the information for people to use on what servers there on etc.

[Ambroos]

Well in this topic I'm really talking about apps with that specific Themida error.. (see first post)

@ Ambroos

I was hoping you might be able to answer my question from the previous page. I'm really quite curious:

From the previous page:

"I've got a question about Themida. I know it is a software protection product designed to prevent software from being "cracked" and uses encryption.

Well, for things like Spotify it's important because if their protocol would get hacked or if too many people got insight in their application it would basically mean free music for everyone. And I think that most AV solutions are smart enough to see the virus through the Themida loader.

Their protocol was hacked months ago. http://despotify.se/ I agree though that people shouldn't hack it. The record lables are too anti-internet already.

WinDVD 9 and Arcsoft Total Media Theatre 3 are also popping up with that error in 7077. They both worked before in previous builds.

[pataykhan]

VMWare Thinapp works in this build or not?

[surrealvortex]

Daemon Tools doesn't work.

[Darrian]

Bull****. Daemon Tools works fine. If you can't get it to run check the thread on it here in the Windows 7 beta forum.

I can't get The Chronicles of Spellborn to run, as I discovered when I thought I'd try it out last week. Apparently this is a Windows 7 issue, so it probably isn't new to build 7077, but it has to do with some kind of anti-cheat software being unable to run. This is something that can be solved by the people who make the game, though, so hopefully an update will come soon to address the issue.

Aside from that, I've no experience with Themida and don't apparently use any applications that use it, because every other application I use runs fine.

Heck, Live MEssenger still crashes for me when it boots up on the Superbar. MS must love my crash reports!

APatch seriously breaks Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7 for me. Any chance you patched your Messenger?

Oh, really? How does it manifest itself? I never had that problem but maybe I'm not patching as much. Would be interesting to know what to look out for. :)

When I tried, Win 7 said there were known compatibility issues. No need to be crude.

[Ambroos]

Spotify people are working on the problem and will probably have a fix ready very soon. They have awesome devs.
