Windows 7 Build 7057 x86

[matthewmarley]

I went to bed and it had 45 minutes left, got up this morning and it got 6 hours left !!

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?

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.

[(Spork)]

I've had it installed for like 6 hours now. ;D

yea sorry i just got off a 18 hour shift :p

[Dannydeman]

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 :)

Not able to share anything in the Homegroup :/ I click all my libraries - hit save changes and it resets back to original setting.

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.

mclaren2, read a few pages back will you.

[simonlang]

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)

[Richard Hammond]

Doesnt work booting from USB memory stick it just sticks at the starting installation screen, just burning a DVD now hope it works.

hmmm for a full fresh install or upgrade from build 7000

I would be interested to see how well an upgrade works at this point :)

[mikikrash]

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.

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.

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.
