9 changes from Win 7 7068 to 7077

weird. did a fresh install and i have shuffle

 

[Win7User512]

I have two Windows 7 boxes, my primary is running 7057 and my secondary is running 7077 that was upgraded from 7000. The desktop background shuffle option still exists.

I echo the dismay with the lack of Dreamscenes though... I know many didn't like it and it was a hog on some machines. Optionally I imagine that we can use Deskscapes whenever it works (maybe it does but it wouldn't on my upgraded 7077 box or the version I installed was too old.)

We'll see!

I too understand that it was a hog, but no one was forced to use them. I didn't discover them until much later after I had Vista for a while. When I did, and upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 4GB, I regularly used them.

The concept of video as your desktop "wallpaper" was f'ing awesome and genius.

And another resource hog that Vista didn't need. Maybe we'll see such feature again in a future version of Windows when processing video will only take a few CPU/GPU(below 1~2%) cycles for an average computer.

I would have to agree too. But Microsoft aren't going to use such an option just yet with the BETAs still out there. Once the RMT is release (in stores) then i'll bet the option to download in Windows Update will be there shortly after.

At least, I hope so. I had Dreamscene running quite well on my system with only minimal slowdown (just check My System Specs @ the bottom of this post )

I have one question,

Is the Aero peek disabled in Build 7077 I cant check the check box. Is there someone who can help me please

 

[Mark]

No Areo is not disabled, it just be that you don't have a powerful enough machine to run it or you don't have your display drivers installed.

 

[ChudaPati09]

It's probably your video card.

 

[kallib85]

It vas enabled in build 7068 and other previus versions

 

[Mark]

Have you tried running the WEI to see if you can enable it afterward?

Windows Experience Index.

 

[Mark]

Windows Experience Index, this is one from Vista but you get the drift.

 

[kallib85]

Windows Experience Index.

Ahhh,

yes, and I have

Processor: 4,4
Memory(RAM): 4.9
Graphics: 4.2
Gaming graphics: 4.3
Primary hard disk: 5.0

Base score: 4.2

 

[Orbital Shark]

With a base score of 4.2 then Aero should be enabled. If you try right-clicking the desktop & select personalise, try selecting a theme e.g. Windows 7 theme. This should then enable all Aero effects.

If not, when you right-click 'Computer' from the start menu & select properties then select 'Advanced System settings' you can adjust the visual Performance. It might be that something has lowered these settings.

Should I change my 7068 with 7077, I had few minor problems. My PowerPoint sometimes works very slow, and the explorer sometimes falls without any reason. Does anybody have this problems and are they fixed in 7077.

I've been using 7077 without any problems.

Upgraded to build 7077 4 days ago & all is good!

I read the posts on build 7077 with some saying it was the most stable they've ran with better performance while others said it was by far the worst build they had used & was slower than build 7057.

Well me being who I am I never take someone's word for this as it could be a bad installation & or upgrade, driver conflicts, etc that the person has & did my own assessments of this new build with some testing.

So I went ahead & did the upgrade to see for myself & I think it's a good build.
A aside from a few bugs here & there that I run into every now & then its a very good operating system with better gaming performance
than build 7057 & my 3Dmark Vantage score went up with this build!
(This is the case on my System anyways)

Just installed 7077 (64Bit) from 7068, already noticed 3 changes, and that's without installing anything yet. WMP12, the pause button issue - fixed. the sound, when playing music it now shows green scopes (didn't before), and i dunno if anyone else had this issue, but trying to open a new folder or make a change in a folder, required an extra refresh, this has been fixed as well.
