7201 - Those running it, what's new?

You sure it is a bug? That also has to do with IE, not the OS.

I'm sure. Try it, go to PC World.com and do a Print Preview, or another site with a background color in it. I've also gone to the option in Advanced options to Print Background Colors and Images. It never worked in Vista either when I downloaded IE8 separately. I thought possibly Microsoft would have updated IE8 at the same time as the OS. It's annoying as when I use Primo PDF to create a PDF of a web-page, the background was missing.

Well when i turn i do print preview and select background images colors option it shows the red banner in the print preview.

Have you ticked it in 'Page Options' inside 'Print Preview' aswell though?

That is the only place i checked it, while i was under print preview i hit the little gear icon, checked the option and it showed up. That should be the only place to check it, unless the advanced options for IE makes that checked all the time for all webpages, where as the print preview option is only temporary?

 

[aln688]

Incredible. I've never gotten it to work, no matter what OS I'm on. For me, with that option checked, IE8 will not show a background on Print Previews, or a Print-out.

Well i can show ya a screenshot of my options if ya need it. Probably be tomorrow since i am getting off for the night.

Yeah the print preview is just temporary for individual options per-page I think. Dont hold me to that though!

No, I didn't! I never even knew it was in there! Why would they have "Print background colors and images" in two separate places for the settings of the browser?! I think they moved it to Page Setup and forgot to remove it from Advanced options, as it makes no sense what-so-ever to have an application option in two places, which can maintain two independent settings. I never went into Page Options as usually the page settings are alright as is. Thanks for clearing that up.

Appreciate it, but it seems I wasn't aware there was TWO places for Printing Background and Images - seems odd to me. Historically in IE the only place was in the Advanced tab on Internet Options, which I set, and I never looked in Page Setup as everything is usually alright for me. Thanks anyway.

Ok. I got it burnt to disk and am thinking of doing a clean install.
I tried an upgrade install with 7137 and it went pear shaped. No idea why as others said it was fine.
Anyway, I scuttled back and did a clean install of 7127 which runs really well for me.
So I think I'll do a clean install with this.
Anyone know if the old activation keys work with this build?

Cheers, John

My key from 7137 worked, but having said that I had to get a new key for 7137 so maybe get a fresh one to start with before the off.

EDIT: sorry it was a key from 7127, just noticed my scribbling on the dvd cover next to me. I should clean my glasses!

All of the keys issued by Microsoft will function until June, 2010.

Thanks Guys. Here I go. J

i've been using the same key since build 7000

Quick question, does windows update behave the same way as 7100 RC? i.e. able to download language pack and fixes like RC 7100 because it didn't work for me under 7106.

Strange, I know the error I just made in my last post was my eyesight but regarding my first key I even got my other-half to type it in just incase. It definitely was wrote down right too because I used it on two builds prior.

I suppose my connection to MS servers could have been iffy or something at that precise time.

I don't trust my writing....I printed my key download so I don't have to squint and decipher what I wrote...

 

[Orbital Shark]

It normally takes me 3 times as long to write down keys

Need to make sure they're correct LOL

Language pack

Somebody checked already if this build takes 7137 language packs?

Or are there already updated versions around?

Upgraded from RC1 7100 64-bit build and everything works fine so far.
