You must delete it from the startup folder. Here is a link to instructions:

Another issue I am hoping someone can fix is being able to disable taskbar thumbnails. Pre 7048 you could go into gpedit.msc and disable it within there, but since 7048 and also in this 7057 doing it from within gpedit.msc has no effect. Anyone know a workaround?

On the topic of taskbar thumbnails, if you have WMP open and you minimize it and you move your cursor over WMP selection, the taskbar preview will show the cover art upside down. Funny bug.

I did a custom (clean) install on one my computers using 7057 x86 yesterday. That went very well.

However, doing the upgrade on a different computer (laptop) using 7057 x86 boot DVD, I can't do an upgrade from 7048 x86. It tells me I need Vista with SP1 to upgrade. The same thing happens if I start setup.exe from the hard drive. Apparently they are now doing a version check during installation. Just some FYI.

Did you upgrade from Vista to Windows 7? That may be a reason that happened. Weird bug.

So i guess there is no need to actually go to my motherboard's official site and download the drivers eh?

Where did Windows 7 go and get the drivers from anyway?

From their own database or ?

As they get bug reports on various hardware and software external to Microsoft, they contact the manufacturer and provide the feedback and telemetry data for the problem. When the designated company gets the software fixed or the driver updated, they send it back to Microsoft for inclusion in the build or for Windows Update.

So i can assume that the drivers from windows update are the latest drivers available?

Not sure if this was mentioned, but one major change:

As promised, they've implemented the UAC changes in this build. The UAC level screen now spawns in a separate process "UserAccountControlSettings.exe" (probably with high integrity) and any changes will throw a prompt regardless of the currently set level. (Y)

edit: was mentioned already, oops. :happy: Here's a screenshot:

I've pulled out all the login wallpapers used here. They're compressed into max quality JPEGs to save space.

There's also an interesting bitmap, take a look:

anyone have any difficulties with their nic when they update via windows update?? mine's been problematic since 7048. connects to the network, but no internet access. have to do a restart and everything is fine, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for hours. don't know what to make of it. If i don't update, then it works fine.

    • 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/

      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?

      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.
