Windows 7 Build 7032/Build 7048 64bit leaked?

[FaiKee]

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

Change preview delay

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

change 400 to 50 or less, restart.

That's what I suspected, thanks for the advice. :D

That's definitely not the problem. It is a bug specific to this build, I believe.

also i noticed on two of my computers that I cant share folders with the Homegroup. I select a folder and select share with Homegroup Read/write and no icon change to verify is now a share although the state says its shared

Oddly getting random restarts. I left my computer on whilst I played on my 360 and I noticed it just restart on its own. Ah well, another one bites the dust. Roll on RC1

Wrong. If you have VMware you can run a 64-bit guest OS on top of a 32-bit host OS.

I couldn't manage to do it as seen in this picture:

Anyone tried burning to an external DVD-writer? Mine just seems to be locking up and spinning through a loop, have to shut it off via the power switch to regain control.

I guess it only applies to 64-bit CPU's and 32-bit hosts. I have ran Widows XP Pro x64 in VMware when the host OS was Windows XP Pro 32-bit.

Well naturally. :) Emulating 64bit would be most likely be very slow, if at all possible. Interesting that it works at all on a 32bit OS though. Good to know. :D

I found some very annoying bugs in this build:

- Every now and then I get this weird "Notification service" thing that disables the Aero interface, takes to an isolated blue screen and there it just gives me an error :crazy:

- Sometimes I can't open the Task Manager and the only way to fix it is by logging off.

- Windows Media Center locks up when watching TV

- On the Start menu, when you click on "All programs" to expand the list, the text flickers and and it annoys the hell out of me.

- Internet Explorer is acting up, stops responding

- I get disconnected from the Internet for no reason

I never had these issues prior to this build. So I'm just going to report them to Microsoft and switch back to Vista (or even build 7022 for that matter) and wait til' they come out with the real, more stable RC build.

If you are running Windows Live Mail you may want to uninstall it and then reinstall it or you may get a "database was corrupted" error every time you start it. Was forced to uninstall Avira Antivirus prior to installation, but works just fine after reinstalling post-upgrade. First time running Windows Live Messenger it had to "configure," but seems to run fine after. Other than that I haven't had any problems running previously installed apps (so far). Beware, file and settings migration during setup may take a while (took me like an hour, yawn).

you are 100% correct on this one.

It was made possible due to hardware support in the processor. You will need a processor that supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V.

It's strange you're having issues with these things now, you should try a fresh install again first before going back to Vista, just so you know for sure that it was this specific build not working.

Does anyone else get the action bar stating that Windows Defender and <insert whatever av you are running here> is not running, then the warning disappears, even though they were both running the whole time? It happens less in this build but in 7000 and previous (I didn't test 7022) it happens even more frequently.

I am enjoying the heck out of testing build 7048. So far, so good.

The only issue I have seen (and I haven't check my submitted bugs yet) is that the video driver for my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop is not working. My laptop uses an Mobile Intel GM965 Express Chipset. It's the same problem I had with the x86 and x64 versions of build 7000 and 7022. I have to use the "Standard VGA driver". Otherwise I get a wacked out plasma-like display with off colors that is very hard to read. I have tried ever driver under the sun, from Intel, from Dell, for Vista (all versions), using Administrator, using compatibility mode, you name it. The driver that came with Win7 and the one that is on Windows Update do not work. I opened problem tickets with Dell and Intel but both responded that Windows 7 is not supported yet. Such is the life of a beta tester. If anyone has loaded 7048 x64 on a Inspiron 1525 and the video driver works, please let me know the driver version and firmware number. Thanks.

Here is a screenshot of the wacked out plasma-like display with off colors using Windows 7 build 7048 x64. The Intel GM965 Express Vista drivers worked ok in Win7 build 7000 and 7022. But I can't get them to work in 64bit versions of Windows 7.

Hmmm...the screenshot looks clean but what I saw on the display when I did the snip was all messed up. Strange......

The point of the beta releases are to use those "Send feedback" links to tell Microsoft about any odd, glitchy behavior you've experienced.

[simonlang]

Anyone else getting a 10-20 second delay when clicking on All Programs in the Start Menu?

no this works fine for me.

Please try something for me. Install the Zune software and use it a bit, maximized behind other windows like ie. Is it flickering or something?

Try it with taskbar on top too.

Could be rendering problems, because the screens look fine for me too.

Thanks !

I have a problem that has been a bug in all builds I have tested.

Whenever I open or close a window or program, the animation is kinda quirky and laggy.

It feels like it hangs, just for some milliseconds, before it closes or opens. In builds prior to 7048 this also happened whenever I max\minimized the windows\programs.

I know it's not my rig, I have a quad core q9400, geforce gtx260 with 4gb ram, and Vista runs fluidly.

Anyone else having the same problems?

I feel like I'm the only one since I have never heard anyone else with that annoying bug.

I hate that too (7022), that was the first thing I noticed when I opened explorer for the first time, very annoying.

[TruckWEB]

Well, yet again, hibernate still does not work for my PC. The fan goes crazy, screen turn black, but the PC never shutdown. I had that problem with 7000, still here with 7048. I've install all the Intel drivers, ACPI, everything, still no luck.

Too bad you have the same problem, but I am glad I am not the only one :)

Speaking of hibernate, how do I disable\delete the hibernate file now, I noticed it is gone from the disk cleaner?

You can disable the hibernation using "powercfg -hibernate off" from cmd.

I don't know if it works with 7048, but 7022 does.

What have they changed with the Windows Experience Index from build 7000 and 7048. I was recieving a WEI of 5.7 before, because of the Primary Hard Disk, but now in 7048 this has gone down to 2.9, which seems a mistake. I have quite a High End machine I built myself so this number is a little upsetting :)

[koinonia]

Windows 7 is really flying for me! =p

With a decent PC specs and good management of hardisk, partitions, cleaning, defragging and system maintenance..... it's F--L--Y--I--N--G!

Never had that with Vista :crazy:

I have Seagate Barracuda ES ST3500630NS (500GB, 16MB, SATA/300, NCQ) and also get 2,9 in WEI/HDD. I've had the same result in beta1 7000 so nothing changed for me in this field. But I still wonder if this is normal? I just thought this HDD was better - this result puts it in low-end area.
