I think I mentioned it before but what I don't like about windows 7, this build has the same issue, is that in Vista, if I wanted notepad or power options I could search in the start menu, it would be the first option in the list, hit enter and I'm done. I search for "note" and power. In Win7 note=sticky note and power=powershell. Its a seriously minor issue, but one that really irritates me.

Also, has anyone managed to get steam to work with it? I havent.

I think it remembers your preference - so if you search for note and then manually click "Notepad" from the list a couple of times, itll display that one first from then on so you can just hit enter.

Thats just a theory though, I am pretty sure it existed even in Vista, but not sure if Ive ever really needed it - for the same reason you have that its always just been at the top of the list!

Someone proove me right/wrong?

You're right, that's why I'm just going to have to test it out in a virtual machine or see if i can manage to get it to install on my computer. :)

If not having 32bit is a problem, how is using a virtual machine going to help? You have to be using 64bit Windows to virtualize a 64bit OS.

You must give a try to Virtual Box then, from version 2.1 you can get a 64bits guess OS in a 32bits one

I will be patient, i would rather not take the time downloading over half of the ISO and it doesn't end up working. I'm sure the 32bit will be released by latest, Sunday. :)

what seems 2 hav changed in 7048 is when i click on the pinned libraries icon it wont open a new window again, just bring back in front the one which is already open. i liked the old behavior much better.

I could of sworn they removed or said they were going to remove the classic Windows theme. Why is it back again? :s

I don't recall this ever being stated, nor was it ever removed from any Windows 7 build. The fact is, Windows Classic is there for fallback reasons. Machines that can't run Aero can always run Windows Classic. (Think of it like an emergency GUI.) Also, while some do prefer the look overall, it's also still the de facto GUI for all Windows Server releases.

Yes it was removed in Pre-Beta's and Beta build 7000 but people would have requested it to come back, i like the classic start menu :D

Steam works fine for me, but I had to download the installer from the site.

I upgraded from 7000 and steam worked straight from the upgrade (like it should have)....not sure why anyone would be having problems with steam not working...

I found a torrent but low seeds.

I got mine in 4 hours from Demonoid......the original, non-ISO one that is....

I goggled "7048 x86 download", one the very first page there is a good target.

That site gave 4~5 links, all posted on 3-5, but what's curious are the sizes, all under 1G(????)

Any ideas ????

Those are fakes!!! Don't click on them.

Yes I get the same.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Control Panel--> Mouse --> MouseHoverTime

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
