They won't run out of keys, it seems the whole notion of 2.5 million beta users was tossed out the window (no pun intended)... Yesterday people were getting unique keys, today a set of 10 keys are being recycled and handed out.

Maybe they'll only activate the first 2.5 million, but I really doubt that

I doubt they will really go with the 2.5 million people figure.
We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit.

Seeing how the keys have been posted already in this thread, and also given the disc images have been placed on many mirrors and torrents, everything should be fine now. Start testing. :)

1. create a new partition

So what happens to the volume keys after this two week period? Will they still work in case any of us end up reinstalling Win7 again? Imo, I think they should still work beyond those dates.

People with unique keys from when i got them yesterday will not work unlimited, the 10 released today will be unlimited :)

I will use my unique keys and when i cannot activate no more i will just do it by telephone :p

Does anybody know if its possible to install Realtek AC'97 drivers? ive been trying for a while with no luck. =/

My laptop includes a Realtek High Definition Audio Device, the original Windows 7 drivers worked to get it working but I was able to use Windows Update and got the latest drivers which were released mid December of 2008.

No, you do not have to move it. Just mount ISO in your current OS and start the install.

Good, pretty much what I was thinking.

Have you tried using the driver offered directly from the Realtek website and not OEM? Sometimes the driver on the OEM sites are not always compatible as the ones offered straight from Realtek.

Damn nothing is showing up for me in windows update for me

Try using this file directly from Realtek's site.

ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/6285_Vista_APO_PG536.zip (copy and paste the link cause it adds http)

Or you can go here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/ and get drivers directly.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
