It's upto you to post us a CLEAR! Video of the new Boot Screen, the current videos are too blurry and too bright. Can you do a video or something for us please? :D

sorry, but I have the vista boot screen when i boot up... because I had to repair my boot with the 6801 dvd.

the taskbar still looks off to me. seems like such a waste of space how the program/icon text is just thrown in the middle and truncated.

The reason being for the huge taskbar is because Windows 7 is trying to be 'Touch screen' friendly. You can make it the same size as Vista's taskbar in the settings.

Wait, so they got rid of the pop-up thumbnail displays to switch windows?

No one said that?

I know you can change the size and I know why they made it big. I'm just talking about the design elements they chose to implement when it is that big. I don't mind the larger size -- I don't know how to describe it -- but the design just doesn't look elegant with the way text is used and the odd looking translucent borders around no-text/pinned icons on the taskbar.

Damn, Anyone here using IE8beta2? Imageshack doesn't show me any of those pictures posted above. Anyone else have this problem?

Doesn't work for me either on Win 7 6801. The first one did then i couldn't get it to work anymore

I got the Vista boot screen also when i was repairing (not even the 6801 boot screen which of-course is different). Whenever i try to boot the new one though i still get a BSOD (0x0000007b) which states inacessible boot device. I did the repair but still wont work. :argh:

2. Choose Windows Repair

3. start CMD

4. Run Diskpart

5. Create vdisk file=c:\windows7.vhd maximum=100000

6. select vdisk file=c:\windows7.vhd

7. surface vdisk

8. exit Windows Repair (without Reboot)

9. Install Windows 7 to this surfaced VHD

10. Reboots and boots Windows 7 from VHD

That you got from a site i was at too. That's easy enough to do as you create the VHD when you are botting, that doesn't really do the booting from one you already have.

it feels lighter and faster then 6801

and the new aero effects are really nice! (new taskbar etc..)

here are 2 more screenshots:

(sorry for my bad english!)

Looks like they've toned down the glass 'streams'.

If you guys are getting a bluescreen at classpnp.sys try disabling AHCI. I got it working using the following:

BCDedit /copy {current} /d new7
BCdedit /set <guid result of previous command> device vhd=[C:]\vhd\new7.vhd
Bcdedit /set <guid result of previous command> osdevice vhd=[C:]\vhd\new7.vhd

The above was done from within 6801.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
