First Vista Ultimate Extras Available


Recommended Posts

For those of you awaiting DreamScene i can give a slight review on here. LEGALLY because i was given it by microsoft. although the idea of the software was genuine the actually application is lacking. What it does is when you install it. you will not notice the difference till you look around at first. All it does it add another file format to the list of formats you can use as a desktop image. It allows videos instead of just images. The videos i used for the background for testing, are to say the least lacking. the videos work great with no glitches or errors or slowdowns until the video loops. and then you get a black flash on the screen. i tried several "perfect loop"** videos and i always got the Black flash

Please Note Dreamscene is still an ALPHA so please i will not post a link if you really really want it i can try to set you up with an invite.

**Perfect loop meaning the video was made to loop so you cannot tell it is a loop.

Hi all...

Question...Apologies if in wrong place....Still running the last Vista x86 beta release here...

Wondering if I would still be able to download/install these extras/updates etc?

Asking because according to my machine, it is upto date, and there are no updates available...

TIA.

And I don't get a black flash at all.

Either way you're probably right, they're going to wait until they can iron more bugs out even the ones only some configurations see.

Sorry Guys-

But I just spent the last 2 hours checking out Vista, and, I gotta be honest.....NOT IMPRESSED. I know most of the updating is under the hood, but, seriously there was no "WOW" factor for me personally. I even tried out the Ultmate Edition and still felt the same. Oh well, just thought I'd throw it out there.......

I'm wondering if I'm having the same issue. I'm running the 6000 Build and it's showing that my system is up to date.

Grrr, I'm running Vista on a 20GB partition and Vista decided to download the updates and wasted about 2GB in language pack updates I'll never use and most of which failed installation. Does anyone know where these updates are located and if I can delete them?

Thanks

Stop the Windows Update service, go to these folders and delete everything inside them:

X:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore

X:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

After that, start the Windows Update service again.

    • 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 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.
