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

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.

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.

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.

Download: Windows Vista Build 5365 X86 | X64

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

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

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.

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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
