Mikee99 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 How do you hibernate? I have hibernation enabled, but I can't find the option to do it.

hoosier28 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Finally got a few keys. Thanks for offering a key Hoosier28 but I actually went to sleep, I was too cranky. :pOne question, are these unique keys given to each account or can someone today possible get the same key and activate it before me. I've been reading some comments on how some people's keys are an exact duplicate but I haven't gotten any of those. No problem. Everyone was cranky last night. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/124/#findComment-590398290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I get 0x80070017 (iirc) during the Expanding Files process. I looked it up and it seems like people had that problem with Vista too. Some said they fixed it by slowing the burn speed when they burn the disc.-Spenser I burned at 2.4x and again at 4x... meh Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/124/#findComment-590398294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingFatMan Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I burned at 2.4x and again at 4x... meh Sounds like a bad download. You checked the MD5 and SHA1 keys?

Gamerhomie Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 No problem. Everyone was cranky last night. :D :) Downloading now at 450KB/sec from a mirror because the official download is still cutting me off at a few hundred MB's.

gigatexel Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 One of my keys is unique apparently, the others are identical to what has been posted. The skies open up and the angels cry. Get over yourself, each key has unlimited activations. Umm, that was a joke. I love how sensitive some people are and how much stress this beta is putting on them. :rofl: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/124/#findComment-590398338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh7289 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I got a beta key from DClark last night, but now I'm getting multiple ones from the official Windows 7 site, all on the same Live account and all from the various 64-bit links. So people are saying the ones you get now from the official MS Windows 7 site are all the same for everyone? Like, the same 10 or so beta keys? If so, won't those keys be invalid because they're already used?

rockit00 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hello, There is a complete list of all keys for 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 public beta over at Tech Power Up forums. Also to those getting corrupted image errors, it is probably the browser/download manager you used. I used MSN Explorer download manager the first time. 5 hours and a wasted DVD later I downloaded using Internet Explorer and burned a perfect DVD.!

crazlunatic Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 you know the keys that were obtained with the workaround before? were they unique keys? why are some people looking up these keys on google? Some people also claimed that when they used their key, Windows shows an error message saying it was not a unique key Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/124/#findComment-590398438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan84 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I feel that if you really like Vista already, you should stick with Vista for now, the Beta really isn't worth installing yet. I have an ultraportable (1.33ghz), and it runs much faster and fluid on Vista than on Win7 Beta. My Vista is highly tweaked and worked great.

Unique keys were only given out yesterday and early this morning using the workaround. Now everyone has the same 10. Does that sum it up for everyone?

If so, won't those keys be invalid because they're already used? no they won't be invalid as Microsoft seems to have let them free and save itself the hassle of giving away too many keys and managing them at the Beta stage....where feedback is much more important than the PC where it is coming from.....

I have an ultraportable (1.33ghz), and it runs much faster and fluid on Vista than on Win7 Beta. My Vista is highly tweaked and worked great. I would not say this, Windows 7 out performs Vista with Tweaks I got a unique key but thats cause i did it yesterday. Unique keys were only given out yesterday and early this morning using the workaround. Now everyone has the same 10. Does that sum it up for everyone? If you used a activation patch before using these keys you will get the key invalid message because 2 files have been changed token.dat, pkeyconfig-xrm files which need to be replaced back to their original state, then the keys from MS will work :) Ya but their the same 10 everyone else has trust me. I dont think so :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/124/#findComment-590398460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people also claimed that when they used their key, Windows shows an error message saying it was not a unique key I didn't know anything about keys until I read the list of keys in a post about 15 minutes ago. I didn't have a key until about twenty minutes ago. Right after I activated my 32bit installation, with a key from Tech Net, some guy posts all the keys for the whole Circus!

Neztea Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So I finally windows 7 ultimate x64 installed on a late 2008 macbook pro. I've having a bit of problems with the drivers. But fortunately I got the drivers for the graphics card to work. I decided to install the vista 64bit version of the drivers and to my amazement it works. :). So now I'm going to see if I can get the isight drivers working on it and the trackpad drivers to work as well. Wish me luck.
