Windows 7 Build 7100 RC (Changes/Bugs/Tweaks) Discussion


Recommended Posts

Even after 100+ posts in a dozen forums about the internet loss bug in every build since 7022, it continues into the RC.

This is the bug that affects both wired and wireless connections, drops connection, defies troubleshooting, hangs upon restart requiring hard shutdown, then resets upon startup. More than two dozen users reported it in a thread on Neowin for 7077.

I have started a new thread "7100: Lose Internet Yet?" Maybe someone from MS will see it this time.

Is WMP12 allowing third party codecs yet?

I always install "win7codec pack". Seems to work, as I have yet to even try playing vids first before putting that in. Windows doesn't throw up any warning or errors, avi files play fine in WMP. I might be wrong, but I think you still have the ability to use your own codecs, unless you are using something extremely obscure....

I came to this thread expecting to see a change log or bugs described or such. I gave up on reading through all the debate over whether 7100 is real or not. This build is the same build that will be released to you in May. It's not going to change. It's not getting a new user interface or features. This is essentially build 7077 and up with some bug fixes and debug code removed.

Changes are being made now in the RTM builds, which is why MSFT branched the builds.

PS. It seems the posts have slowed down since WarWagon laid down the law. ;)

Feels so, but IIRC 7077 was much smaller in size compared to 7100.

I'm not sure if this is new but my SDHC reader icon changed from the generic SD logo to this one.

I have a quick question I hope someone can answer..

Can the RC be activated with one of those keys from the Beta (Build 7000)?

And has anyone had any experience upgrading from the beta to 7100?

Thanks! :D

Yes the beta keys work (as long as you install Ultimate, which is the default and only option unless you modify one of the .ini files). Granted I have a unique (non-public) beta key, but I dont see why my unique key would work and the public ones wouldn't.

As for upgrading, I personally decided to do a clean install, told myself a few weeks ago that when the RC came out I was going to do a clean install and use it until RTM/Release.

Upgrading from beta -> RC is likely to cause more problems than a fresh install. Besides, you have to modify an INI to upgrade from beta (assuming you mean 7000) anyway.

i have one question...

this leaked build all around..

does it have that wallpaper?? which is shown on gizmodo?

i mean.. is it exactly the same build the gizmodo one is???

Yes, it is here (under Scenes, if your looking for it).

The Build Stamp in the bottom right is also exactly the same.

Anyone have an Auzentech Prelude 7.1 soundcard, and has gotten it to work in Windows 7?

If so, how?

Install the drivers provided by daniel_k.

No need to spoof the installer. It'll detect Windows 7.

These ones work pretty well and they give you more out of the stock Auzentech drivers to boot. (the THX Console being an example)

Also, do we need to download Intel chipset installation utility and intel matrix storage drivers for us intel chipset users?

They only have vista ones on intels site.

I think they've got the drivers covered already via the disc itself or Windows Update. I tried running the chipset install utility and it installed only one file.

:woot: THX console is included in daniel_k's drivers?

MILLION INTERNETS TO YOU GOOD SIR.

I honestly didn't know daniel_k came back to the scene

I tried the beta and i thought it worked pretty well, however, i had issues with my Auzentech X-Plosion sound card. It stuttered and the quality was kinda poor. Anyone know if there's a driver for the RC anywhere. I know there's one for the prelude, but it's not the same is it?

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

Kompreneble, se vi konas min entute, vi scias, ke mi dirus, ke viaj artikoloj bezonas iom da redaktado! Mi ĉiam faras tion, ĉu ne? Ekzemple, la artikolo foje mencias koncepton antaŭ ol difini ĝin, ekzemple, relajsoj.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
