It changes to black :p

Yep. Tricky... :laugh:

Launch Regedit

Navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Scroll down and find the existing entry called PaintDesktopVersion. Double click and change its value to numeric one. Please note that there is no need to create this DWORD, as it's already there.

Check you now see: PaintDesktopVersion = 0

I believe this is what you're after ?

or for .reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000001

Is it working for you? I tried it before I asked for help, but I could not make it work. I logged out and in, restarted the notebook, but nothing with this "solution".

And for you?

I'll be home in 5 hours, then I can begin to download. But if it isn't on usenet by then, I won't even begin to download, since torrents are to slow. Everyone is using usenet these days. (in the Netherlands atleast). Hopefully a brave Robin Hood will stand up and upload it on usenet :)

It is a known bug. It has to do with the desktop.ini file in the startup folder. Sevenforums.com has posted the fix for it.

1. Under Folder Options -> View , select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and un-check "Hide protected operating system files" so that you can see the hidden desktop.ini files.

2. Open the start orb and at the search type: shell:startup and press Enter. The start menu startup folder will open, where you will find a desktop.ini file. Delete it.

3. Open the start orb and at the search type: shell:common startup and press Enter. The "all users" start menu startup folder will open, where you will find a desktop.ini file. Delete it too.

4. Done. Reboot and the desktop.ini will not appear again

I've noticed those desktop.ini files appear everywhere in this build. Removing them from the above folders fixes the issue at startup.

Wolken007, thanks! that helped!

personally i think this build is faster again as 7048 was. what i dont like and just noticed, that using IE8 atm, while scrolling up/down on neowin or posting something, the browser-content starts to flicker pretty badly - for example im moving the mouse cursor on the Bold/Italic/Underlined button, ...

no big deal for me since im gonna install opera again, just noticed.

I have this installed on my laptop which is set up with a secondary external display. When I right click in firefox on the non primary monitor, the menu pop's up on the wrong screen! This is probably just a graphics driver issue, but I did not get it in the previous builds (7000/7048)

That trick wouldn't work in Windows 7. You can download a patch though, it will work. But a small percentage of people have problems with it, however, the majority says everything will be fine.

Download this one: http://deepxw.blogspot.com/2009/01/downloa...st-version.html the patch is in that app, I used it as well on 7048.

thanks for this one! didnt work until i ran mcbuilder.exe afterwards. now the watermark is gone :D

can anyone who only did the reg-patch (paintdesktopversion) run mcbuilder.exe (just over cmd) and reboot and lemme know if that removes the watermark as well? thanks in advance.

Is it just me, or does Win 7 run circles around Win Vista? I mean this is one of the only times I can remember that a newer Windows OS ran faster than an older Windows OS.

its the same here. and im very happy with 7057, im gonna install it on my notebook today as well. bye bye vista. :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
