Vista Build 5365 released too testers on connect

[Kevincvz]

Hii.

QUESTION: 1. The Boot Screen changed from latest (5342) build (Black-White) ? ? ?

2. The Audigi driver(s) ist fixed/updated ? ? ?

Thanks.

1) no

2) don't know, soundmax from windows update still isn't working correct though, so maybe that says something about audigi too??

The install took about 45 minutes for me.

I had a question myself too. As you know you get these warnings when you start an app or want to throw something away, the screen gets vague and only the warningmessage is clear. But before the message appears my screen goes black, is this 'normal'? and if it isn't, what could it be? I ask this because I had it to in XP with iexplorer 7. So I thought it might just be something with my computer? :unsure:

thanks

are all the feautures of MCE fully working on this ? I have a live Media center PC in my lounge, its my only Tuners and its my PVR and i watch everythgin through it.

I was thinking of making a seperate partition for Vista to test out the MCE section, is it worth doing this ?

It is a bug if your screen goes completely blank... it is supposed to just fade. Take a look in the official MS BETA Newsgroups for discussion.

I can't use it at the moment because the Creative BETA drivers for Vista are really bad and stutter/crackle all the time on my Audigy 2. Otherwise it all seems to work great.

k thanks, I was going too, but I was on the forum anyway and you normally get an answer a lot quicker when posting here :p

servers are hammered for me or something, ill try again later tonight

[Imaginos]

I was maxxing out using the Euro servers.. and.... I'm done. Before you hit download, change your download location and give it another go. I was only getting 80k in the US server.

Hope this will build is solid enough that I can wipe my XP partition without worry.

[Hello1024]

this topics getting longer faster than I'm reading it...

I'm only downloading at 7kb/s, ISDN, so it'll be a while before I get testing... (nearly a week 24/7) :(

[lil_psc]

the classic control panel is bloated.......

[iSimx]

can someone take a video of the os showing some animations

e.g. media center intro and other stuff..??

[P.M.K]

[trek]

It's been a long journey for testers this past 2 weeks, with rumors coming out everyday about different dates of when the build would be released all of which were eventually proven to be fake. Although this time, it's not fake at all, Windows vista build 5365 has now been released on Microsoft Connect for testers. The full build string is 5365.winmain_idx05.060419-1800.

User Account Protection

This new build brings several updates to Windows Vista's UAP (User Account Protection). UAP has been one of the most hated services since it was integrated into Windows Vista due to the intensity of the security. Though UAP has now been turned around in this build, the severity of the service has been reduced in this build to allow users to perform simple tasks without having pass through several UAP prompts (Windows that ask for your permission to complete the task).

Performance

One of the most noticeable features in this build is the large improvement in performance. The build now not only boots faster but seems to function much faster without using as much memory as the previous build 5342. Though the operating system is getting faster, official System Requirements have yet to have been released by Microsoft.

New Content and Visual Changes

Since the beginning of the beta, Windows Vista used mostly old content from Windows XP such as the wallpapers, display pictures and sounds; however this build now includes new content only available in Windows Vista. The build now includes new wallpapers and new user account display pictures though the new anticipated sounds still haven’t made their way into Vista.

The build is available for both 32 and 64 bit processors, The beta program managers are encouraging all 64 bit users to upgrade to this new build due to better compatibility. Downloading this beta might be somewhat of a nightmare for Dial-Up or light DSL users, the total file size for this build is marked just over 3GB at 3,098MB. For activation, your current 5342 keys will do just fine. No new keys have been released and we are being told to use our current keys.

Enjoy :) I am really impressed with this build, the performance is really great compared to 5342..

[P.M.K]

no

Why are these new sounds such a big sercret??

[I8PP]

Because they're still being worked on? It certainly wouldn't surprise me if it isn't high on the priority list at the moment as Vista's not even close to being done.

Windows Vista Screensave that everyone been wanting to see in action. Canalla just post it on his site! (some other stuff there too.. screenshots) The video was i think made with Windows media encoder 9 so i'm not sure if it's system that couldn't keep up with it or vista being buggy or the program not working well with vista

[kupang]

Thanks for the heads (Y)

I would also like to take a moment and reflect on how many people said that Paul didn't know what he was talking about last week, that a build wasn't coming out. So :p to those people, and a big (Y) for Paul. From now on, check your sources, we should all know by now that Paul isn't going to publish something unless he can backup his claims or opinion.

anyone else have problem with nvidia driver? i have regular artefacts on desktop - small black lines...

[cosrocket]

Is it possible in this build or expected in future builds to be able to change the taskbar color? I really hate the dark gray, it's very somber looking to me and though in some screen shots from this thread show a lighter color gray I'd like to have the taskbar white like it is with OS X.
