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's a photo of the wacked out plasma-like display. Anybody got any ideas?

Missing graphics driver on an old Intel graphics chip. Back when I was inexperienced, I tried running Vista beta 1 on an HP 753n and it was no different. Except mine looked more like a zombie display than it did a wacked out display like yours. So look for a graphics driver that works on Vista, install it as an Administrator AND have it run under Vista or Vista SP1 compatibility mode.

Thanks but I have been there, done that.

I am making a bootable ISO DVD now. Here's what you need to do....

You must be really bored to waste that much time on it :rofl:

That's also valid for the other longwinded instructions to create a bootable Dvd.

All you actually need is CL-Tools4Win from Camtech2000 (Freeware), which includes CD Image4Win.

Simply choose the folder with the files, where to save the .iso, and activate the "Boot" option, selecting "Vista Ultimate".

Worked fine here :cool:

I am bored, I'm on disability leave. I had a liver transplant back in October.

There are many ways to create a bootable UDF ISO. Thanks for your input as well. :)

There, didn't I know it.

Hope you're all better soon again :)

No problem, thought it would come in handy.

Also - yes, it is indeed real :yes:

Installed it..WEI for HDD is low as usual. Disabling Write Caching doesn't work anymore though..

My HDD score stayed the same (5.9) but my gaming graphics dropped a lot....from 6.7 down to 6.0, not sure why. Could be due to running Vista drivers on Win7, guess I'll have to wait till 9.3 cats to get a better measurement.

Nice! I am grabbing 32bit now. I have a quad core but originally installed a 32bit copy and want to upgrade. When final comes I will probably install the 64bit.

Having a quad core has nothing to do with it. People mainly focus on memory when looking at 32-bit vs. 64-bit.

My average was 142 kB/s

My average was 310 kB/s.

my gaming graphics dropped a lot....from 6.7 down to 6.0, not sure why.

Same here, my Gaming Graphics took a similar nose dive from 6.9 to 6.0 :pinch:

Catalyst 9.2 installed on 7000 and 7048.

Eventually I'd like to have over 3gb of ram so I will want to upgrade. Either way 64 bit is the future.

I agree completely. I run 64 bit on all of my machines. The way you phrased it, I wasn't sure if you were thinking that there was a difference between 32-bit and 64-bit functionality on a quad core CPU.

    • I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
