Windows 7 build 7077

[deuse]

The 64bit version is now doing the rounds but I think I will wait for RC1 next week...

What do you mean doesnt need a serial??

Yes it does, if you mean to install, none of them did??

But to activate and continue to use it past 30 days you need a serial

All previous Builds have required serials in the loading stage! This one has not and has taken down some updates

A heads up for anyone running newsleecher. Apparently it's not working with build 7077 at the moment.

Thanks for the info, hope this is fixed soon or I'll stay Vista (on both my PC's)

My Win7 7048 build (that was upgraded from 7000) is running fine, currently has a 33 day uptime! although the sidebar has been eating memory since boot, currently taking 243MB

I am trying to resist temptation to format and reinstall 7077 with RC1 so close around the corner!

RC1 is in May, as Microsoft upped the page for it, then quickly took it down.

Thanks for heads up. Am currently running 7048 (from 7000) and thought I'd wait for a few before upgrading again.

Just wow, what a difference coming from Vista64 to 7

Love the new media center and the HD support for Sat TV

Don't know where you've gotten that from, I've used every build since 6801 up to 7068 and none of them have required a serial key during the instalation.

I've either used the serial after its installed and in windows, or not bothered because I had reinstalled windows again within 30 days.

9.4's wont as ATi ballsed them up, when you try to install them, only the CCC will install, so you have to go to the Device Manager and Update the Driver that way, by telling it to browse in :- 9.4 > Packages > Driver > Display > LH6A_INF

yup tried that, had to do it that way in the 68 build, they wont do it in 77 build 64 bit

Anyway of running the Setup telling it to ignore any compatibility prompts?

Mine keeps harping on about some file I cannot find and the install wont continue?
