Lord Ba'al Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 It's 2/3/2010 as seen on the screenshots Same as RC... would've surprised me if it was any longer. If If Win7 actually is on store shelves on 23 October (as Acer says), then March 2010 is plenty. Looking at the screenshots, I've noticed a little change already: the gadget windows now warns you that some gadgets might connect to the internet. It doesn't do that in 7100. Good news, the rumours of game compatibility fixes post 7122 are correct, NWN2 works just fine with no messing about. There has obviously been some DX fixes as well. Good to see some solid progress, thoroughly recommend 7127 and also recommend a fresh install as opposed to an upgrade. Yes, doing an update is often asking for trouble, even if some clueless morons loudly scream that update and clean install would be the same :pinch: Will it play mkv files without third party codecs? The Haali codecs are jerky with windows 7 for me. KM Player plays .mkv without third party codecs :cool: http://kepfeltoltes.hu/090515/864092447off...ltoltes.hu_.pngIt look s like somebody has the 7130 to :D What an idiotic fake. Just anyone can create a folder on his desktop and name it whatever he wants. Look! I have the Windows 8 Milestone 1 Build 7500 on my desktop! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrIgoe Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The same problem I've had with 5 out of the 6 Win7 builds I've tried out has crept back. It WILL NOT install on my Western Digital terrabyte HDD. It copies files fine, expands them, then when it restarts and goes to the "Windows 7 Setup" boot option, it gives me an error, says insert disk to repair, and restarts. The only one that didnt give me this problem was 7100- 7127 does. I ended up having to install most of them (even beta1) on my previous 5 year old HDD, which I wasn't too thrilled about as it makes loud seek noises and, again, is 5 years old. I've tried installing form the HDD itself, a pen drive, and burned DVDs, but the same thing always happens, and always at the same point. Has anyone had this annoyance before? Is there any particular reason why it would not like a particular kind of HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excalpius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yes, doing an update is often asking for trouble, The fact that MS changed the way their OS is upgraded with Vista and Windows 7 so that there is no difference between in place upgrades and clean installs has been explained to you repeatedly by myself and many others now. We've ALL even sent you links to read. :) However, as I have also stated, this does not mean you won't find bugs in a new BETA upgrade. That's normal and why we are testing after all. If YOU want to keep blaming the "in place upgrade" process for this well understood (by MS professionals at least) phenomena, feel free to do so...for YOURSELF. But PLEASE stop spreading Windows 98->2000/XP FUD as post Vista-kernel fact. You're just perpetuating outdated dogma which causes confusion amongst people who are trying to debug legitimate beta bugs. Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrIgoe Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I just did that, and it didn't help. Here's what I get: $windows.~BT\windows\system32\winload.exe couldn't be loaded status: 0Xc000000d. Which is a fancy way of saying its missing or corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now that you can't perpetrate anymore that an upgraded system will be identical to a fresh install, as you did before (because there are now too many people having bugs after an upgrade that went away after a fresh install), you're trying a new aproach in insisting that it's solely because it's a beta. How very interesting :rofl: Fyi, it's not a beta anymore, it's a candidate for release. I'd say it's rather you who is trying to put forward a dogma here, the dogma of the always absolutely infallible Vista style upgrade which can't possibly cause any bugs :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyblue Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Anyone uploaded the x86 version to USENET yet? I can only find the x64. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0adband Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Get MPC-HC (x86 version for Windows 7 x86, x64 version for Windows 7 x64) and it'll play anything except RealMedia files (.rm, .rmvb or whatever). Nothing else required. As for RealMedia crap, I never bothered with it and avoid it like the Bubon--- oh wait, perhaps I should say the Swing Flu nowadays, seems more current. :D Set the renderer in MPC-HC to EVR (run it in Admin mode the first time to set options permanently), and that's that. Never found a video clip yet that wouldn't play with Windows 7 + MPC-HC (version tied, x86 to x86, x64 to x64), subs work (external or embedded in the mkv), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmmay Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I upgraded from 7100 to 7127 today :) So far so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadja Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 installed 7127 x64 in a different partition with 7100 x64 on another drive, comparing the two it's hard to tell the small differences yet. All my hardware worked 100% without any additional drivers on first boot with the recommended resolution on 2 monitors working perfectly. With 8GB Ram and a E8400@3.906 everything is very fast in both version - nearly non existent (annoying) spinning circle. Thinstalled portables are still a no go.

excalpius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 So now that you can't perpetrate anymore that an upgraded system will be identical to a fresh install, as you did before (because there are now too many people having bugs after an upgrade that went away after a fresh install), You aren't reading my comments accurately, nor do you seem to have the faintest idea exactly what those bugs being reported are, and what is REALLY causing them do. Regardless, you keep replying based on what you think I said, not what I am saying. :D The original question in another thread was about upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, as in RTM to RTM, not internal beta to internal beta, which can rarely risk driver update/addition mismatches between builds. WHICH, even if you run into one of those mismatches, has NOTHING TO DO with the new Vista kernel based upgrade process. You keep telling people this is a beta upgrade bug from in place upgrades, but you are quite completely WRONG. Not sure why you continue to perpetuate the falsehood that there is a difference between in place upgrades and clean installs of XP RTM to Vista RTM, or Vista RTM to (eventually) Windows 7 RTM. This was fixed with the new Vista upgrade procedure years ago. I must therefore assume you have a reading comprehension issue and I recommend people don't listen to your "advice" going further. :p So, one last time, stop telling people that there is a problem with in place vs. clean install upgrades when the real problem is a simple beta driver related issue. And if you want to actually be a HELP in the situation, instead of being an outdated FUD spreader, tell them to manually update the offending driver within the newly upgraded beta (you can find the option in the device manager) to fix the problem. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excalpius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 installed 7127 x64 in a different partition with 7100 x64 on another drive, comparing the two it's hard to tell the small differences yet. The remaining major driver issues were resolved between beta 7000 and RC 7100--in point of fact, that was the major criteria for the RC stamp of approval. ;) What you will see from now until RTM at the end of July are bug fixes and ADDED drivers that have fallen behind the curve. For example, expect Nvidia to sneak in a newer driver than v181 if then can, as the geforce 6200 bugs in Windows 7 RC are resolved by the nvidia 185 whqls. Otherwise, any late, non-showstopping drivers will be snuck into the Windows Update backdoor before RTM-equipped OEM machines reach store shelves in Q4.

Nadja Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 br0adband Which portables, if I can ask, as I have several of 'em myself and I'm just curious...? various games like backgammon, chess - Firefox fully isolated/sandboxed - Video Editing utilities - Excel 2007, Word 2007 and variuous uts. I used to put them on a Ramdrive. Portables which have a launcher compiled with NSIS work fine - got Photoshop CS4 running perfectly on 7100/7127 x64 ramdisk. it's strange because Vmware 6.5.* works.

And yes, I've been using RAMdisks for many many years now (way back to Amiga 500 days in the mid-1980s, go figure - hell I even BOOTED the thing OFF THE RAMDISK and today's machines can't do it, seems ridiculous but it's true). I preach SuperSpeed.com's products for all versions of Windows and currently they're beta testing RamDisk Plus for Windows 7.

Feh, Atari ST was much better! :p If it wouldn't have been ruined by crappy marketing and incompetent management, it would've stomped the Amiga into the ground! :yes: It already had a (for the time) amazing high resolution of 640x400 when the Amiga was still stuck with much less, and the PC could only dream of it as it only had low-res Cga :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0adband Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Not even. The Amiga had the only true hardware multitasking - and that's still true even today compared to the monster boxes we have nowadays. It will always be the best personal computer ever made, making all the competition of the day look like they were standing still... :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_ST Go read the most interesting facts... the Amiga originally belonged to Atari but they never felt it was worthy and let it slide. They were ok for their time (I had one) but nothing will ever match the sheer fun I had with my Amiga 500, not even the beloved C64... But anyway, look at how far we've come, folks in the past 25 years since the Amiga made such big waves... Windows 7 ftw!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excalpius Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Feh, Atari ST was much better! :p Now you're just being a ponce on purpose! :p While the Amiga went on to spawn the Video Toaster and LightWave 3d--made famous for basically INVENTING visual effects for television and earning countless Emmys and the first Academy Award for visual effects created with desktop PC technology (re: TITANIC), no one even remembers Atari made a real computer back in the day. So I think Amiga made Atari it's biyatch. Oh yes. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
