Ambroos,

You can add AnyDVD 6.5.4.0 to the list. I just attempted an installation, and I received that error. CloneDVD installed perfectly.

even last last release works fine, probably the first time they used it to stop people seeing how they decrypt bd+ (wouldnt have thought it was for piracy as iirc its not fully cracked) scene releases with keygens exist but are useless if you have a new blu-ray and need to connect to there update server.

some versions of newsleecher also have this problem http://www.newsleecher.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18197

Realtek audio drivers problematic until I right clicked the setup.exe > compatibility tab > compatibility mode > Vista sp1 and voila installed perfectly.

same for Comodo firewall x64, CCleaner, RegistryCleaner x64, RegistryWorkshop x64 and running portable apps in a ramdisk.

Qsoft ramdisk enterprise x64 works well in this version. (auto 50% of 8GB)

I've got a question about Themida. I know it is a software protection product designed to prevent software from being "cracked" and uses encryption. But considering Themida is used by many virus writers, keylogger writers, etc., to conceal their malware, what could the advantages of Themida possibly be? Because no one can be absolutely certain that if and when Themida is detected by AV scanners and such whether it is malware or a legit product.

Good point. As it's that frequently used by virus writers etc., it's probably even better if it doesn't work :laugh:

The authors of The Bat etc. had better looks for something else.

@ Ambroos

I was hoping you might be able to answer my question from the previous page. I'm really quite curious:

From the previous page:

Well, for things like Spotify it's important because if their protocol would get hacked or if too many people got insight in their application it would basically mean free music for everyone. And I think that most AV solutions are smart enough to see the virus through the Themida loader.

Their protocol was hacked months ago. http://despotify.se/ I agree though that people shouldn't hack it. The record lables are too anti-internet already.

Bull****. Daemon Tools works fine. If you can't get it to run check the thread on it here in the Windows 7 beta forum.

I can't get The Chronicles of Spellborn to run, as I discovered when I thought I'd try it out last week. Apparently this is a Windows 7 issue, so it probably isn't new to build 7077, but it has to do with some kind of anti-cheat software being unable to run. This is something that can be solved by the people who make the game, though, so hopefully an update will come soon to address the issue.

Aside from that, I've no experience with Themida and don't apparently use any applications that use it, because every other application I use runs fine.

Heck, Live MEssenger still crashes for me when it boots up on the Superbar. MS must love my crash reports!

APatch seriously breaks Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7 for me. Any chance you patched your Messenger?

Oh, really? How does it manifest itself? I never had that problem but maybe I'm not patching as much. Would be interesting to know what to look out for. :)

    • "This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time" ... Lol.
    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
