Windows 7 Build 7106

[funkyblue]

What about issues Themida? Are they fixed?

[Penryn]

Any more changes or bug fixed in this build?

[0nyX]

What's the point on finding bugs on a build older then the 7077?

7106 doesn't have the improvements 7077 has.

[Lord Ba'al]

What about issues Themida? Are they fixed?

I don't use any Themida apps, so I can't say.

Any more changes or bug fixed in this build?

Yes, I tried out the gadget bug I found in 7068: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=752814

Turns out it's still there :(

Gadget bug

Anime PC Meter gadget (current version 1.7.4) doesn't work properly anymore: display errors, flyouts don't work, causes constant cpu load of ~30%.

new bug, worked fine in 7057

If there's something else you want me to try, just tell me.

Please keep this thread clean from that "7106 is older" bs :pinch:

It's not BS, and if you don't believe me here's another source that says the same thing myself and others said last week:

Interesting article. :yes:

This wannabe expert article proves absolutely *nothing* :no:

Neither you nor that other icrontic guy works at MS, so it's nothing but wild claims.

[Chris123NT]

Interesting article. :yes:

Yeah it is, I really have to applaud that guy, he did his homework VERY well and took the time to lay all the pieces out and explain it VERY well.

Ba'al, you don't need to work at MS to know how the process works. You're starting to sound like the countless number of zombies in the Win7 beta newsgroups. Take the information that is posted and learn from it, because I assure you it is correct :). Not trying to flame you, just trying to help you understand, hence why I posted the link.

[Lord Ba'al]

...to present all his assumptions as if they were facts. Yes, applause please for this little con trick.

Where are your "facts"? I've yet to see any from you at all... anything?

Prove everyone wrong and post your sources from within Microsoft with irrefutable facts. :)

I'm not the one here who is trying to pass of assumptions as facts.

Well my friend...all you have are assumptions as well. :D

[Lord Ba'al]

Yes, we all have only assumptions (except for the people who have seen the source code and can say for sure).

Just that some people try to pass of their assumptions as facts when they clearly are not, and that doesn't sit well with me :pinch:

Something we can both agree on! :D

BTW: What are your specs? Any driver problems with your specs?

[Lord Ba'al]

BTW: What are your specs? Any driver problems with your specs?

I tried installing Cat 9.4, and it didn't want to install the driver - it simply didn't offer the driver for my 4870 install, just the Control Center and the other stuff. Trying to install manually didn't work either.

However, I had the exactly same problem with trying to install 9.4 on 7068, so it's independent of the build. Also, I've already seen others post that they can't install 9.4 on Win7.

Catalyst 9.3 installed fine and runs without any problems, just like any other drivers.

My specs: (Aero Graphics is still a bit buggy, should be 7.9)

[Crackler]

Sounds good. What do you have for sound?

[Lord Ba'al]

Sounds good. What do you have for sound?

X-Fi Extreme Music. No problems there, not even with the out-of-the-box drivers.

Although I'm considering if I shouldn't get an Asus Xonar.

[funkyblue]

I don't use any Themida apps, so I can't say.

Then could you please download am email program for me: The Bat and test if it works on 7106 x86?

http://www.ritlabs.com/download/the_bat/th...home_4-1-11.msi

It uses Themida and did not work on 7077 x86 (but does work on x64 7077)

[0nyX]

Please keep this thread clean from that "7106 is older" bs :pinch:

Quoting something i didnt say is just noobish and running a build with 71xx doesnt make you 1337 (even if u feel like one).

In fact trying to find bugs on a build that few use any more makes you just weird and that's why i asked.So get your story straight :)

For you, is this build older then 7106 too? :doctor:

Any body who knows what they're on about knows that this build IS OLDER than 7077.

I'm still laughing at all the fools who chose to go through all the hassle of changing the language in order to downgrade to this build.

Everyone but users of this build know it is older. I know for a fact that it is and a load of those that are in the know have said so themselves.

My point EXACTLY. :whistle:

Even when the RC comes out (assuming it'll be 7100) they are NOT going to install it because they have 7106 up and runnin thinking it is the latest one and they are far ahead! :laugh:

Before the 7082 pictures leaked I also assumed 7106 was older from the code base perspective. Now I am not so sure. Here is my reasoning:

-7082 is clearly newer than 7077 as they come from the same branch.

-7082 reverted back to the old look of active programs higlight on the icons in the taskbar

-the highlight in 7106 was the only reason to doubt if 7106 was newer as it also had the old style of highlight (now we know they have reverted back)

Finally 7105 was compiled on the same day as 7077 so logically 7105 is no older or newer than 7077. 7106 was compiled some 4 days later than 7077 so logic suggests that 7106 is in fact newer than 7077.

6.1.7105.0.winmain.090404-1235

6.1.7077.0.winmain_win7rc.090404-1255

6.1.7106.0.winmain.090408-1623

On a side note, I hate the fac that they went back to the old style highlight of active applications. Love it how it is in 7077.

Ok, I'll try it...

...

It works! :cool:

Here are screenshots I took as proof. First setup and configuration:

Then a full desktop screenshot of The Bat! up and running in 7106:

There goes their single flimsy excuse for their "7106 is older" preachings :rofl:

6.1.7105.0.winmain.090404-1235

6.1.7077.0.winmain_win7rc.090404-1255

6.1.7106.0.winmain.090408-1623

Of course logic suggests that 7106 is newer, but those "7106 is older" preachers wouldn't know logic if it bit them in the ass :laugh:

I pointed out that it's four days older right in the very beginning, but they never listened, as they're completely impervious to logic :pinch:

They simply prefer to take their half-assed assumptions, regardless how illogical they are, and then try to pass them off as facts.

Anyway, back to topic. I noticed that 7106 has more optimised memory management and thus uses memory more effectively :cool:

With all drivers (like Catalyst+Control Center) and all apps (like Security Suite) loaded, it only uses 759MB:

Before 7106, it easily used 830+ MB with anything loaded and no other programs running yet.

Looks like I did good thing ignoring the leaked builds post 7077 till RC.

[funkyblue]

That's interesting! I would now download 7106 but am waiting for the RC build now. 7077 x64 is working and I'm leaving it at that.

Thanks for testing :)
