I've been looking more closely into the WMP12 issue when minimised. I've tried different variations of keys in the registry to no avail

I'm gonna re-install 7057 now, make note of the keys there, re-install 7068 & see what the difference is. (It's gonna be an ar$e of a job as I only have 1 rig, but it might herald some interesting results)....See you all soon (hopefully LOL).

Hi Orbital Shark,

I'm still running 7057 (x64) if you let me know what key values you need to know I'll post them back for you if that would help

Can anyone else confirm that it takes long time to create new folder (when using right click)? Like 1-2 secs before | appears to edit text.

Cheers fella, have already installed (and back again twice LOL). I've even exported the registry values but once imported, Windows throws up a version error;

wmploc.dll
Expected 12.0.7068.0
Found 12.0.7057.0

Have looked at multiple values but had to reinstall 7068

I was looking in computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Media Player

I did notice several minor differences in the use of CAPS in some words (7057) and not in others (7068). Been looking into this for 2 days now, i'm sure it could be a registry issue as i doubt the software has changed much between 7057 & 68.

What build of Se7en are you running? I've just tried it on my desktop (build 7068) and it too a fraction of a second.

@ Orbital Shark,

Instead of installing a different version and then reinstalling 7068, why cant you just create another small partition to play with and when your done you can delete it.

I've currently only got a 40GB internal drive (my girlfriend uses the machine too, she's getting quite annoyed with my constant re-installing). I've got a 250GB external connected via USB but when trying to install it wont allow it. Something to do with the current drive is not supported, i've checked my BIOS and it allows for USB bootup.

Very strange :sarc:

 

[Barman58]

Maybe it might be possible to swap the drives over

I don't think there is, it's a 2.5" SATA internal & 3.5" IDE. Thanks anyway

7068 x64

Try to create ~5 folders in folder and try then. It created folder fast but it takes 1-2 secs for folder name text to become editable

7068 Seems slower, but no big evidence, just feels slower when I'm cliking around. I went from 7000 to 7048... 7048 felt the best so far.. now on 7068, but changed motherboard and cpu, thus can't pin point if it is the OS or my hardware. Guessing the OS because some games that I had no problem playing on 7048, are having program issues in 7068. Example, in crysis, character is holding gun, but only see hands and silencer. Also, Windows ratings have changed for the video. I have a HD 4870 x2 that rated 7.2 in 7048, but now 7068 rates it 5.9, which is more accurate (IMO). I went from a x38 mobo to a x58 and a core 2 quad 2.6 to a i7 2.6 and windows rates the cpu lower... went from 7.2 to 6.9.... i7 is the latest.... figured I'd get a better ratting.. oh well.. i oc'd it to 3.4 and now get a 7.5 rating.. Just processed Xmen Origin (workprint) from .avi to DVD in 26 min.. used to take me over an hour for 4gigs.... but that improvement is due to HW not all OS...

I'm going to roll back to 7048 and see if it plays the games any better and feels faster....... sorry for the nonsense rant if my story is hard to follow...


old setup... 7048 that was upgraded to 7068 on.. q9400 Quad 2.6, Dual Ch 8gb DDR3 1600 (running at 1333), x38 mobo and sata2 only HD,

new set up...clean install 7068 on i7 920 2.6 (oc'd to 3.4), Tri Ch 6gb DDR3 1600 (stock runs at 1066, but OC'd to 1333), x58 mobo and sata2 only HD...

Here's an update. I tried 7057 with the same error Stop 0x0000007B, it just won't recognize the SAS Embedded Raid card on the S5000XVNSASR board..

So I went back to 7000 and it's working like a champ so I'm just going to hang out here until the next release and I'll try again..

If anyone ever learns anything about this error I'd love to know, am very curious why it won't even load the driver when I point it to it.. So it can't just be that they removed the WDM, it has to be something deeper.

I can't pause and play in WMP from task bar.....
As i know my friend have this problem too.

[sorry I type Eng not well..]

Well,, spent much of the day rolling back to 7048. 7048 OS seems faster while using my stock i7 when clickin around, but come to find out, my new HW mixed with 7048 doesn't go well with Crysis.. freezes... so ghosted back to 7068... just finished playing an hour or so of (for testing purposes )... crysis, crysis warhead, call of duty 4, and fallout 3.... everything, but crysis is top notch... I'm playing crysis in the highest possible setting... and am now convinced my 7048 set up was no better, I guess I am just more sensitive to the anti A setting (far views... ie.. sky, mountains, etc...)... also, when OC'ing my i7 and DDR3 in 7048, it is unstable.... much more stable in 7068... so far stable at 3.34 and 1330 for everyday use and gamign, just not the everest stability stress tests.....

New HW... xbox 360 wireless controller... windows 7 doesn't recognize, but easy enough to get the drivers from MS... works great, but not as quick as a mouse....

I just noticed the WMP12 taskbar issue, and it's annoying as hell. I thought it might have gotten screwed up after installing some add ons, but it's nice to know it was not my fault

Anyway, if someone has a fix fot it, it would be great.

i'm also having this issue, thought it was an error or something...funny thing is, you can skip the track but just can't pause it/play it...it is really annoying
