Windows 7 RC1 Released

[Sullivan]

There is a tit remover!?

WHY?

I type wrong, it was supposed to be "it".

 

[androidkaita]

have you downloaded the windows live pack ?

What do you mean? I downloaded the installer from the messenger website

Windows Live Messenger 2009 works. it sits on the left side of my task bar.

Anyways...I hate the new taskbar. I wish they have kept the original way.

 

[androidkaita]

...not for me, ill try reinstalling

I like the new taskbar, it's organised and efficent. But, I am a fan of the OS X Dock, so that's probably why . It's not that different from the old taskbar really much, so everyone should be able to grasp it quickly.

I'm going to try out the XP mode soon, so i'll report back on how that works

 

[Vee]

Yeah, i love the new taskbar.

 

[Riorio99]

I've downloaded it and burnt it, but I'm not installing it until I get my data backed-up.
Anyone know of any bugs that are likely to corrupt or destroy data? If it does get installed, it'll be on a seperate partition, so there should be no problems, but I'm paranoid as hell.

 

[Moose]

I have installed it on three computers and no data has been corrupted in any of the installations.

 

[Vee]

Me neither, i'm super paranoid but it all went to plan, thank god.

I'm not too sure, but the regular messenger may not work

try getting the messenger from here
Essentials - Windows Live

that's what has worked for me

Thanks, Ill try that

 

[androidkaita]

Nope, still dosnt work

XP mode functions like any other VM, much the way Parrallels & VMware fusion does on OS X, brings VM windows onto the desktop.

@androidkaita: You may want to try out Pidgin or Digsby in the meantime as a replacement if you want to hop onto MSN while the problem is solved.

 

[androidkaita]

thanks

just a noob's guess (haven't got windows 7 yet!) what happens when you try messenger in XP mode?

 

[Colm]

I can't seem to install flash player on Seven x64.

 

[James.]

Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system.

I havent tried XP mode, but from VMware it'll run as long as you use your internet through the Virtual machine

hmm, I understand. But the flash player installer isn't working. Thankfully, I know a workaround.
