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".

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
