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. :)

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
