ahh ok, you might have to try re-installing windows blinds.... seems the main executable hasnt copied when it installed

either that or try to navigate to your program files and find it in there, might be a faulty shortcut icon

vista inspirit pack 2 has Yodm3d in it. or you can download it seperatly

[BANKS]

while config these are the options,

i select flip 3d in the 3rd party options but on the next page it wont let me

sorry to take over the thread btw, mods feel free to delete everything relating to this when i've sorted it out

[Ozzie]

winflip must be a beta.
i used VTP up until version 8 which never had it built in.

version 9.0.1 is the latest with supposedly bug fixes from 9.0.0
probebly best to contact lucifer or lee on their website called WindowsX's shrine and let them know.
it migt also be run by DirectX (dunno which version though? 9 or 10)

[BANKS]

ok to easy, thanks ozzie

[Ozzie]

I know this thread is more than a month old, but I thought I should add that the Beta version of Windows7 has been released to the public for download and can be found at Download the Windows 7 Beta

The version number is 6.1.7000

Here's a screenshot with a non-windows wallpaper.

*Update*

Windows 7 Build 7048 has now been leaked.

*Fixed IE8 bugs.
*A few UI changes.

I am on the windows 7 beta right now, looking very good so far

[Astranomical]

Unfortunately they've pulled the files from the website, so if anyone's interested in trying it out they'll have to find someone who already has the version they're after.

[NickVR]

How long till this is out to buy? anyone know?

[Rufus®]

I believe there's an RC Version next month, then if all goes well an RTM in August. So it should be on the shelves in August / September.

[NickVR]

Thanks for the info.

[Ozzie]

The RC version is 7048.

Its just not released to the public yet.

The final release date is unknown once again, it's supposed to be early 2010 now.

Im holding off on building my new computer until its released, I dont want to waste my money on Vista Ultimate 64, for one or two months.

[Astranomical]

Why not just build your new computer and just run XP until 7 comes out then?

[fitzy2005]

meh get with the times people, pretty simple buy extra memory to keep up with technology

Been trialing this for a while now using it as my Primary OS. (Beta 7000)
Much quicker than vista, much more stable, Have had driver problems with it but all sorted now as i have fairly old computer
AMD 3800+
DFI Lanparty Expert
2gig of ocz ram
nvidia 7600gt

problem i had with drivers were getting my raid config to work had to use 2 different drivers 1 for the raid controller (date somewhere back in 2005 - 2006) and 1 for the raid devices (date 2008) then manually update the older raid controller drivers once i got windows installed. vista drivers for soundcard work fine (onboard realtek non-hd dating back to 2006) Nvidia drivers are on windows 7 update so got them off that and seem to be working flawlessly

Haven't tried the RC 7056 yet as 7000 is stable so will do it when i can be stuffed :P
Or when i build my new computer in a few months whatever comes first.

Just a heads up 7048 isnt RC as the EULA states its still a beta where as 7056 states its RC

There was a rumor that if you got Vista premium or ultimate you would get a free upgrade to WIndows 7, got nothing solid on that though.

I have had huge issues with the music librarys (could create the library but the music would not appear in media player at all) and also when added to a domain W7 could not create the local profiles with a w2k3 server, bugger.

Shoud/Could, and probably will end up doing that. I just a brand new fresh sytem with a nice new OS, just being padantic about it really.

Umm..... I dont know whether to laugh or cry.

Might look into the free upgrade, if its an "upgrade" though ill still pass, but if lets you upgrade with a full install, then that would be awesome, but i doubt microsoft will do that lol.

With the media player problem, double check its set to search from there. Mine is set to search from two external places, one being the Server's RAID drive music folder, and the other is the torrent box download complete folder, which continually updates and is really good at removing moved/deleted files from the playlist. The best media player for a home network so far. Im having a few DivX problems on one movie file, but im not running any other DivX support except what comes pre-loaded.
