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

+1, same here.

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?

hehe...touche!

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".

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
