Incast Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I prefer to simply have the classic hard drive/folder view first. For example, would it be possible to re-arrange to this: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/714032-windows-7-build-7000-beta-1-qna/page/9/#findComment-590324238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Awww man WTF. I thought Vista drivers would work in 7. Even WDDM 1.0. Well the work just not in 5.1! In the console I get sound out of them all but when actually playing a movie or music I only get sound out of the front two!

kraken Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yes you cant install them unless they are in compatibility mode! What are Realtek HD Audio drivers for? What hardware?

scratch42069 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 They're for onboard realtek hi def audio. It's funny, I didn't have to install those in any compatibility mode at all, they installed as they would in Vista and I can change all the control panel settings and everything.

The Patri0t Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 ^ My XP drive is not showing up. I was thinking may be it happened when I was cloning my old hd to newer but I guess that's a problem. I don't really need the XP drive though.

derviskemal Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Windows 7 is looking great so far but theres one thing thats bugging me! Windows 7 is going to ship with Windows DVD Maker but not any software for viewing photos, creating movies or chatting? This is one area that needs looking at as Macs have most essential stuff like this built in and new users will be quite confused at this i feel. :huh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/714032-windows-7-build-7000-beta-1-qna/page/9/#findComment-590324458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

derviskemal Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 This is good, i just hope they make this clear for new users. Is there anything in Windows 7 now that tells users where and how they can get Windows Live downloads?

This is one area that needs looking at as Macs have most essential stuff like this built in and new users will be quite confused at this i feel. :huh: Problem is, the more Microsoft includes, the more problems they get because of the EU law stuff. There's a special european edition of Windows (has N behind the name) that has Windows Media Player etc removed. If Microsoft would leave all their software inside they would get complaints because of their monopoly position. They just have to promote their Live-suite a little more. Maybe build it so that it can be installed directly from the Control Panel instead of having to go through IE. This is good, i just hope they make this clear for new users. Is there anything in Windows 7 now that tells users where and how they can get Windows Live downloads? It used to be in the Welcome Center, and now that's renamed Getting Started and on top of the start menu. You have to go to it's jump list to find it though. Like I said above, they should make the Live Suite install easier.

WelshBluebird Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 What are min sys requirements of this? Hows it shaping up on netbooks? Haven't installed the beta 1 yet, but the last build was pretty fast on my aspire one. At a rough estimate, I'd say its as fast on that as Vista is on my proper laptop (2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 8600M GT). So considering the difference in specs, I think that has something to say about windows 7 (or maybe just about vista lol). Haven't installed much on it so not sure how it be affected by that.

acnpt Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 What are min sys requirements of this? Hows it shaping up on netbooks? Im using it on a Samsung nc10 (2GB), and finding it great. Performance is as good, if not better than XP. When does XP sales/support end??, as I reckon vista will be skipped, and windows 7 will be used for netbooks by OEMs. Only problem so far is that sounds stops working after sleep or hibernate, anyone else get this????

iamwhoiam Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Giving out the names of the files so others can search with them is a violation of the site rules. Anyone looking for a warez'd copy of the new build only has to look at the front page to see what to search for.
