Vista Build 5342 Released - Official Topic


Recommended Posts

anyone get this installed on vmware? I just get a STOP error when trying too boot from the vista cd too install.

Me too :(

Hopefully MS will fix that in future builds or VMWare will supply a patch or update. Ah well, I wasn't an actual beta tester, just had good "resources". :)

Discussion of keys is forbidden but I will say that is NOT the key to 5342

I strongly suggest to the poster of that key that they remove it from their post or the Admins not gonna be happy. I'm assuming you just didn't read the rules but posting of keys is not permissible on Neowin.

Fond this screenshot, of the "new Paint tool" , that all that has changed is the UI.

seems prety cool, I dont know the reason for paint anymore, but its nice to see it has a new UI :D

This screenshot is better : http://www.jc xp.net/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=3678

remove the space in the url

Hey, all those pictures look great. Vista seems to be getting better and better with every CTP release...

Except the Office one. I think Office looks better with black and non-glass for some reason - and why the hell is the border "covered" by the outer border on the left-upper corner? That looks... horrible. But, I know, I know - it's a beta.

People who have access to Vista: any chance at all that Calcuator has changed? Or does it still have the same boring old buttons? If Calc did change, can you post a screenie of it?

And another thing - why are Neowin people always "censoring" JCXP urls? I checked out their website and they seem OK to me - not illegal at all... so what's the big deal with that? I really want to know. Thanks.

paint looks really nice! - for once.

True, very true, i just dont understand the reason for paint any more, since there are other advance programs out there that do the same thing, and now microsoft is making microsofdt expessstion, that should replace paint.

but ya i really like the new UI in paint.

What is the best antivirus to install on vista??? most of the antivirues i installed don't work!

the antivirus i use for xp is eTrust EZ Antivirus, but it does not work on vista! anyone else having this problem??? any workarounds??

anyone have any suggestions???

well count me in too :)

anyway the time taken to install build 5342 on my system is cut almost by half compared to build 5308..

and at last, my ageing TV card which was manufactured some time early in this millenium

seems to be working just fine in this build, i'm really surprised.

also my audigy (1) sound card is working just fine with the vista driver released by creative.

no more BSOD during shutdown /restart ...

and now waiting for monday morning (March 27) Redmond time,

MS gonna fix activation server to accept the new product key.

Does the mic work as well? In all previous vista builds the Mic was screwed on my Audigy 1, and others say the same as well. This includes 5308.

its nice, usability and responsiveness have greatly improved. Its good enough to use as your primary os if all you are doing is simple tasks such as web browsing, chatting etc

but other than that, no. I tried running Oblivion on vista and it actually ran great at first (better than xp i think) but ran into many lag spikes. Most likely because of the high page file usage and cpu for debug taks in the background

The backgrounds are for real. The are extremely well done.

they are nice, I even have some vista backgrounds, on my XP pc, most are from the Sep. 2005 - Feb 2006 CTPs but the backgrounds are nice, better then XP's crappy backgrounds, or the clouds and others that were done in paint back in the dark ages of windows

you're pirating vista backgrounds M$ Fan bois will be angry with you or maybe you get warned :laugh:

Neowin doesn't support piracy :devil:

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
