mikee286 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 what Will a GEforce 4mx440 use to render glass? ( I don't think it supports pixel shader 2.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I8PP Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 what Will a GEforce 4mx440 use to render glass? ( I don't think it supports pixel shader 2.0) It won't. You'll get that grey theme. I certainly hope it changes to something nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamerz4391 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I can't believe it is not showing up on Connect for me! I am in a TAP program for Vista, and am running Build 5308 now, but 5342 STILL has not shown up. :angry: Grrrrr. Any other Connect users still not seeing it? I've got a DX9 laptop (Radeon 9600 Mobility) that should run "real glass" if it is in fact in this build, but since it hasn't shown up I cannot check it out! <Jack Bauer>DAMMIT!!</Jack Bauer> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Elі Subscriber² Posted March 25, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted March 25, 2006 Lamerz4391 are you sure you are refreshing your browser and that it is not showing an old outdated cached version of the connect site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 If I install this build on a seperate partition how probable is it that the bootloader can screw something up with my c:\ partition and my way into xp 32bit? Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering... It's always possible. Backup everything important and cross your fingers. This time around I have ghost my machine and I am trying the upgrade path and I am seeing if that will work. If it borks my XP then oh well and I will bug it. All part of the fun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P!P Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Anyone else having problems activating the new build? A new key is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer321 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 i can't install it on my hardware. it's the 3rd time i try, three diffrent builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaoserver Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 A new key is required. I've tried the 3 5342 keys connect gave me, and all 5 of the 5308 and up keys. None work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBASE Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Anyone else having problems activating the new build? I cannot activat, and I also wasn't able to install with my first generated key. My second generated key let me install, but it still wont activate. Microsoft really dropped the ball on activation :no: . However this build (x64) is running ALOT faster for me than 5308. Also I noticed that several of the bugs have been fixed. Did anyone notice the built in screen shot (sniping) tool.. I think that was a great addon.

Achal Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would keep the "real" Aero Glass hidden until a build this late in the game. Can anybody confirm/deny these claims? the truth is that there is no aero glass :alien: lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcPercy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Did they mess up on MSDN? Notice that the old build was updated yesterday evening with a checked build and SDK. Also, what is the difference between the checked and non-checked build??? Edited March 25, 2006 by EcPercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelousMoogleAssassin Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Guys, has this build been released to MSDN subscribers? Or is it just TAP/Connect? I am primary SystemAdmin for a MS Gold Partner company and need to be testing these builds for compatability and deployment - makes my life much harder when they don't release to MSDN. I've been desperatly trying to get onto Beta Program but at the moment am still stuck with MSDN. Anyone have any invites, please PM me - the invite would be put to good use. I've installed every build since Beta1 and have run as main OS on primary PC since PDC'05 build (5219 as memory serves) - obviously with laptop and VMs on hand for when things go wrong :whistle: I think I could really contribute, just need a way in. Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Joe As far as it has been told this is a tight release to TAP/Connect testers....doesn't seem like a wide release to msdn or technet right now. And as to the 14 year old....get a grip on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Are they actually going to keep that current Aero Express look (the brown with small titlebar widgets)? Looks hideous. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
