Windows 7 beta - 9th January

[lolwtfbbq]

Right, I've just finished my install. Throws up a BSOD on startup. Argh.

just did an acronis image of my other PC (vista x64) and plan on trying to update that to win7 64-bit tonight

Windows7 x64 and Vista x86

I have windows7 64bit installed on one drive and vista 32bit on another. In windows7, in My computer I cant see my other drive that has vista on. But in disk manager both are there, reporting no errors although I cant explore the vista drive. Anyone know if this is a problem with the beta or something Im missing?

Extra themes there incase you missed them.

Also how to unlock the "hidden" themes:

1. Go to \Windows\winsxs Directory
2. Search for *.theme.

3. Double click themes with name in the format of XX to apply and save the theme

Odd. Doesn't find many for me - only aero and classic which I have...

Was same for me until i chaged the burning app to imgBurn and burnt at half max speed. May have just been a fluke, but images burnt with ashampoo and ISO-burner gave the same errors as you got above.

I have Nero .. Tell me is it possible to slow this to half speed it could be the root to my problem??

@ renandstimpy. Easy mistake. You won`t be the last.

Right click on my computer > Manage > Disk mangement. Assign a letter to the Vista drive.

In Nero, simply pick the burn speed you require.

I've got my xtreme audio working in win7, using the latest youp-pax drivers. I'm able to use the Creative Console and everything, works fine.
