maybe someone can confirm this 'bug' with IE8 in this build.

I dont really care about it since i use firefox anyways and it doesnt happen with Firefox.

Basicly i started dragging around the window of IE8, making it pass outside the screen and the other way ( yes i was bored ) and my pc started lagging extremely, but only when i was dragging IE8 around my screen.

so i installed FF3.5 and gave that a bit of a beating around the screen, no lag at all.. opened IE8 again and boom laggy

Maybe it has to do with the fact that i have an ATI Card? i installed Catalyst 9.6.

There is an activation work around that requires 2 files from a previous build. Works (Y)

Not to delve too deeply into things that shouldnt be talked about, but that may work for now but will watermark and 'mess up' the final rtm gold build. ;) It will trash the RTM, which is why it needs a proper method.

It won't upgrade over my prev version so no point doing a clean install since it's not officially RTM. Odd, the upgrade path isn't greyed out but when clicked it says I can't install.

right click setup.exe >go to properties > compatability tab > and run it in compatability mode for vista sp2. That works.

might as well install it if you spent the time downloading it right? and it wont make things any worse if you have just been upgrading one build over another, but for the final do a clean install.

You can download what you want without activation. It's not designed for you to be blocked through a non activated copy just an "illegal" copy. There is a difference.

Just ReArm for 120 days if needed. Why "bypass" activation when its not necessary.

You are abusing the re-arm feature, you are still "bypassing" the activation feature by delaying it.

I have an ATI card (4850) and I tried that, I moved IE around my screen as fast as I could physically move my mouse, moved it off the screen from one edge to the other really quickly, no lag at all, and IE8 opened just as fast next time. Also using Catalyst 9.6

Just as a matter of interest I got a rumor (repeat: rumor) that 7267 was compiled on Jun 29(i.e. the winfuture.de date) and expected to go gold.

REpeat again: rumor, don't flame me if nothing happens.

Not gonna flame you, don't worry. Just wondering if the July 13 date is solid or not. :p

No one is abusing anything. "You" implies that I have done this and I have not. MS even tells you how to use this feature when testing its trial server software so I guess they condone "abuse".

I assume you are not using anything past RC1 correct? Since that is the only official "release" for RC that you should use since obtaining the rest is "not legit".

Could have been caused by a memory leak in the graphics driver, or some other random glitch. What card do you have, and what 7 build was this encountered in?

Not too impressed. Tried to upgrade from 7100 and it failed, not only that, but it totally screwed the security settings for one of my drives, requiring me to move all my data to another drive, wipe, and move back. Oh the joys of pre-release software :laugh:

Now this is interesting, we've got 2 different says, pick your choice lol:

1. Still compiling RTM-candidates, latest known are

6.1.7267.0.win7_rtm.090629-1900 - RTM Candidate

6.1.7268.0.win7_rtm.090701-xxxx - RTM Candidate

and expect TAP download available by end-Jul.

2. WZOR still stays on 7265, announcing 7266 fake.

It's was said that 7265 had removed the show-stopper bug, probably going gold, is going to leak.....and...... fixed the "activation work-around".

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
