Help, i dont know how to burn this and i ended up doing it wrong..I have ultra iso and the name of the image says this - 100.0.090421-1700_x86fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culfrer_en_dvd.iso.dlm

at the end it says iso.dlm, do i need to rename something for me to be able to burn the image to a dvd r using ultraiso ?

Check to see if the Download Manager says "Finished" under the status. Give it some time and it should finalize and say .ISO.

Then burn to disc and install to your liking :3

if you are talking xp mode its a seperate download
Xp mode beta

Wm player 11? Is part of 7 I think

I use vlc so I havent even looked at it

Also I noticed no difference from 7077 also
Goes to show other then tweaks 7100 and 7077 were very close

It's WMP 12 in Seven ,and there are no radical difference from 7077 to RC.
Just fine tuning and lots of tweaks.

Man you could atleast give some credit due. It's not like Microsoft planned or wanted to release this yesterday.

According to Microsoft, they are not limiting the number of keys issued.

I believe i read on Wired Mags site or similar page that we will be able to use the RC until June 2010.

Yes, but by June '10 I think the 2 hour shutdowns will have already started so people will probably drop using RC a couple months before then.

Hmmm I used Firefox to download the 64 bit this morning. Only took couple hours.
Since I just read this post about how the download is failing all I can say is I just started another download instance of the 32 bit to see if it works. Like I said I'm using Firefox. I.E. 8 seems to time out for me. The Download Manager that tries to run fails on I.E. but works fine on Firefox.

Goes to show everyone has different results. I couldn't get Firefox to download it, I had to use IE.

OK whats the point? I posted a link I found, I said that in a post.

I shared what I found, Who ever did not create Win 7 as I did not.

The link allowed people to download early last night as I did.

If this poster is a member here then why did they not post a link earlier then I did?

This extension belongs to the download manager, and it indicates an incomplete download or a download that is in progress. When the download has completed successfully, this extension will disappear and you will be left with the standard .iso file, which you will need to burn to a DVD.

thanks, i was able to do it by burning the zip file..It was that i had opened the zip file and tried to burn the file inside that was giving me the problem..

Microsoft says the 2 hour shutdowns will begin in March, and it will fully stop working in June.

So yes, most will probably stop using it before March.
