Windows 7 7106 x86 & x64 leaked

[consume]

I don't think the whole "dropping internet connection" thing is becasue of windows 7. It's been happening to me for over 2 months now and i'm using Time Warner Cable's road runner. I think it's something with them because i also had the problem when i'd boot back into vista. My internet cuts out for about 2 minutes and reconnects.

i did lose internet last night, so did my other machine, thought it was my ISP but nothing was wrong with the connectivity on my router.

We need to increase the noise being made about this. Unless it is an intentional finger given to daily build pilferers, they are letting a major bug slip through in dozens of builds.

The english version is being uploaded by the admin of Djforum right now :D. So, it'll be available for downloading soon.

not seeing any news on upload of x64 yet. hope to see that soon as well. cool

This happens in every build since 7000, but doesnt' happen at all in 7000 on the same machines.

Exactly! Time Warner's Road Runner sucks in terms of uptime. You get great speeds if you want, but they cut it out every so often lol. I hate it! And to think they want to cap bandwidth soon! They are out of their damn minds because their service sucks as is! :)

mideast US here and TW is having lots of problems in our area as well in the last couple months. Seems like lots of their equipment reaches end of lifetime. I very soon know it's not just my connection because my neighbors come running for help ...

and back on topic: 7106 x86 should be here by tomorrow. then the usual wait for x64 ;).

If you're losing internet connectivity it maybe because of the Realtek Driver downloaded via Windows Update, caused a lot of problems for me.

That could be true, when i updated the drivers i lost internet for little while, i don't mean when it reconfiguring drivers, but after that, i will try realteks from their site.

They write it how they would say it. Today for example Americans would say April 13th where as the rest of the English speaking world (proper English at that) say 13th of April. I totally agree with you. It totally defies all logic.

Indeed. Americans and logic or common sense just don't go very well together :laugh:

Yep.. the English Language pack for the x64 build of 7106 is making its rounds on trackers atm.

Got it, running at a great 550 average :cool:

The installation process seems complicated though... can it really be worth it?!?!

How so? When I tried out the Japanese language pack on 7000, it was very simple:

- Open "Region and Language" in the control panel

- switch to the third tab, "Keyboards and languages"

- click on "Install/Uninstall languages" and select the language pack zip

Is it any different here?

No need to wait if you just get the Chinese x64 and put the English language pack on it ;)

[darkmanx21]

So..if this is the same as 7077, right? Why all the fuss then?

Is the RC going to have the major announcements?

[+Tyranade Subscriber²]

When you install the language pack does it have any wierd translations or would you not know the difference?

EDIT: Nevermind the install seems abit complicated i'll wait for a english leak.

No, it's not the same :no:

7077 and 7105 were built on the same day, but that doesn't make them identical.

7106 is another build already, based on 7105.

[blunden]

Has anyone checked if the Themida bug is fixed or not?

[atleeit]

If 7077 and 7105 was made same day, 7106, Proberly Thermida not fixed, who would have reported it without the feedback tool which has been removed? Anyway we are not meant to be running these builds :p

Feedback tool hasn't been removed, it's just not forward facing in the UI anymore, you need to do a command line command to bring it up :)

My problem with the 2 builds I tried after 7057 is the loss of all the entries in "all programs no matter which previous build I upgraded from. I finally gave up and restored my backup of 7057, which is the last one that worked properly. I'm hoping that maybe a build after 7077 will work right after upgrading. 7077 was particularly bad because of the start menu problem and the sudden incompatibility with Newsleecher, or more accurately, any version of it after 3.9, supposedly because of its key validation system. I know clean installs are supposed to be best but I have way too much customization of my desktop environment to start from scratch. I don't worry about trying these new builds since I have many backups of previous configurations that worked properly and can always restore them if needed.

You guys do realise 7106 might seem newer then 7077 but it's not.. its just 7076 with an upped build number.. don't be fooled by MS moving build numbers up. So no point to download if you already have 7077 you will be downgrading.

[funkyblue]

Personally I installed 7077 x64. Themida works fine under this build and I can have my email back! No different IMO to x86 even though I only have 2gb memory,

[Wommers]

well i'm skipping this one (7106). 7077 is working damn close to flawless for me. plus i need a respite from all this fun. :D i'll probably be ready come next week... er leak. :rolleyes:

[John Freeman]

Seeing how close RC is Id normally pass this as well, but I managed to **** up my 7077 install quite badly yesterday, so hers me hoping for a legit en-us 7106 x64. If im going to reinstall, then id like it to be the newest.

[Matthew Jones Veteran]

Have a read of this.

7106 is actually newer than 7077, but exists in winmain rather than the RC branch.

Yes that's exactly right.

[atleeit]

Russians have release a EN-RU not EN-US, It's basically the Chinese version modded to English, So no EN-US as of yet.

So you can install Chinese, English or Russian.

[Chris123NT]

Yes that's exactly right.

Thanks for the heads up, updated my blog post to reflect the new information.

I knew something was fishy when the taskbar buttons were reverted to the old style in 7106. The highlight in 7077 is changed.

Yup, up to 7109.0.090413-1552 in winmain now....heating up ;)

[funkyblue]

Just release the RC build already!
