pasztor.laszlo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It changes to black :p Yep. Tricky... :laugh: Launch RegeditNavigate 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?

Dannydeman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 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. http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/06/r...nd-server-2008/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannydeman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannlich Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i just finished installation, went fast as always. i didnt change anything or such but after the desktop appears for the first time, notepad opened with the text in it u can see it in the screenshot does anyone has an idea what it could be/mean? 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.

simonlang Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 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.

DrCheese Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hiroshi- Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
