Build 7989 x64 Questions and Findings

Under your printer properties, did you see everything OK?

 

is there a way to use the pdf in this windows 8 build?

 

Netflix and Media Center

Running 7989 on machine. Wanted to know if anyone successfully
got Netflix to run on the media center. I ran silverlight and installed.
Netflix downloaded fine, but media center crashes everything I try to open and click
on the netflix icon.

Printing works fine on my Canon Pixma MX850 which is network shared through my Storage Server.

Edit; after printing the printer icon stays in the tray saying I have a pending doc, but there's nothing in the queue when I click on it. It goes away after restarting.

 

Starts crashing on me too, right after installing "Internet TV", not that I ever use Media Center, just checked it out cause you mentioned it.

I'd like to ask if anyone got Windows Live Writer 2011 working? I can seem to run most apps from WL Essentials except Live Writer. Nothing happens when I click on it.

 

Did you just run it or try any compatibility modes? I am installing all of live essentials now to test it.

Edit;
Can't get Live Writer to run either, but Messenger still works .I like to run Messenger in Vista compatibility mode so it goes to the tray rather than the taskbar.

Hey guys and girls

Is directX already supported? im talking about gaming, anyone tested any game?
GPU drivers?

 

how to activate immersive internet explorer? is there a command/application something

 

Option 1 Use RPE, and select Fix Twinui

 

Had this pop up on me:


Seems fine when I checked it through Action Center though


Maybe it lost connection to the shared folder for a while cause the error went away now

 

History Vault looks like Time Machine in Mac OS

 

Where's Hybrid Boot?

I don't see it in Power Options

 

You have to look in this
Or do this Start>search for

Code:

Change what the power buttons do

 

guys, are any of you facing problems in user account control? I made it as low as possible and yet I still have to give rights and etc.. o.0

 

I wonder what hybrid boot does to 'reduce boot up times' after a shutdown but not after a restart. Also seems that my laptop completely powers down when going to sleep, takes way longer to resume than it did in Win 7 default sleep behaviour. I think MS is over-complicating all the power management with all these new options; sleep, hybrid sleep, hybernation.. etc

 

It seems a lot more stuff to be checked during reboot or start up for 7989...
