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


Recommended Posts

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

If so, how?

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 thought that too untill i saw the join date, '08 '09 Dannydeman started before you did. Its just because they don't have Avatars or sigs. Posting infrequently doesn't make them "new"

lol..I?m not new at all..

And did i tell my computer with windows 7 crashes after every 30 mins due to the ddvmsys error..

thats nvidia driver...

and i cant try ne other drivers as only one driver for my card is available.. which came out in 2006.. and im surprised they didnt fix this bug..

this bug is happening for everyone using the FX series dx9 cards..

that is wrong.. my card supports everything they should test it to make sure the fx series work ... im talking about microsoft not nvidia..

Here we go again. Another windows 7 bug post which is fine but here we are on page 5 and only 4 comments on actual windows 7 bugs.

Yet again it's been taken over by the non windows 7 bug comments like "my driver don't work" or "my third party software don't work" that has nothing to do with windows 7 bugs.

Please for the love of god go away and make a separate post with your query or better still go your driver and/or software forum page.

Rafael and I do have some secrets to share, but again, we need to wait. There is more coming.

Regarding availability, I don't have any info that I can relay on when the RC build will be made available through official channels, but everyone who wants it should be able to get it in the coming weeks.

First Paul said new UI is coming. Now he saying their is more secrets.

I don't trust him. What you guys think?

Tip I found installing from a USB key, if available on your system, hit the key at boot to let you pick the boot device rather than setting it permanently in the bios. When it reboots it will restart setup not hit the HDD. Saves having to sit there waiting to change it back in the BIOS so setup can continue.

Right. 7100 is the RC, Microsoft reserved that number and said before that 7100 was for the RC release, which this is.

Secondly, there isn't going to be a new UI, at least, not in the sense that people think that the Superbar etc are going to be changed. If anything, there might be a change to the theme and more icons etc being added, but that's it. And that's a big if.

Thirdly, why are people so disappointed? With all the leaks since 7000, new features have been added/removed/changed and you expect the RC to be just as different? RC = pretty much complete. It's only about bugs and so on.

Also, if people want to argue that Windows XP got a new theme during RC, you are wrong, it was Beta 2 which got the new theme, plus Windows XP was under a different person who managed the product, so there isn't going to be any more surprises.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
