This not specifically native to the OS. My nVidia video cards - nVidia Geforce FX 5200 (get Aero Glass but buggy), nVidia Geforce 6200 (no Glass). nVidia needs to get their act together, because the RTM drivers from Vista 64 bit work with my Windows 7 install on my ATI Mobility Radeon x1600.

Other than that, I am having issues with HomeGroup, it keeps giving me incorrect password errors no matter which compuhttps://www.neowin.net/forum/style_images/shift_forum/folder_editor_images/rte-quote-button.gifter I try to connect to. I am also having file system corruption errors on my Windows 7 64 bit partition. I have ran CHKDSK with /F still did fix it. Vista tries to fix it but says there is not enough space available on the volume to do so. I notice when I try to run setup from a network share I get the file system corruption error. Yahoo! Messenger also reports this.

Other than that, everything is working well.

Are you sure your disk isn't failing?

Andre, the NVIDIA drivers for Vista work fine. It could just be that Windows 7 is finally dropping support for the 5200 (which NVIDIA stopped supporting ages ago) and the 6200 could just be a bug to be fair.

some times the icons you have pined on the taskbar change icons (ex firefox icon get wmp icon or virsa versa)

can be fixed by closing the programs and re-opening

Did you try windows update from list of printer hardware when you use "add printer" from the control panel? The list of printers is not complete from the pre-beta. I had that problem with my HP 7160. I just looked thru the printer list I now have after it updated and it has MP600, MP600R, MP610 etc.

Adobe flash does not seem to work reliably in the 64 bit version. Sometimes videoes just stop. Its not buffering it just stops. I have a 20 meg fiber connection and the dark load line in the youtube player shows its loaded, then it just fails to play.

Canon MP600 does not work, but that's a driver issue of course. Only setback I've had so far.

Actually I haven't had a problem with the mp600, it worked fine with the drivers that came with windows 7, I however couldn't not use the cd label print software. I installed the actual mp600 drivers from the cannon website and it all works fine now. I am using 64bit not sure if you are on 32bit or not.

The obvious things: Daemon tools, for which I have installed a replacement (minus copy protection features). Vmware is working, but networking is not working, bridge will not work, nat is also not working properly. No problem, as I had a spare USB wireless stick lying around, using that for networking :)

Will try that this evening :)

I just installed Vista drivers, seems to work well (device is working etc etc)- but it fails when i actually print something.

Hmmm, wierd. Running 64 bit. Will look into to it later. You are using the Vista drivers?

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
