    Anyone found the PDF reader in this build? The registery entry was added correctly, but searching for glcnd.exe doesn't yield any results.

    Also history vault got a sweet new interface, though it might've been in 7955...

    sounds like Win8 is set for use in devices... WP7 is very color bit aware, wouldn't suprise me if the rumors of WP8 (neptune) being based on Win8 is actually true!

    Pre-Mango was 16bit color
    Mango will support 32bit color i believe

    For those that cannot get the aero theme after installing Graphics card driver

    Hey, i have the 8600GTS nvidia graphics, win 8 installed some display driver at intallition, and aero was was fine. but them i wen to Nvidia's website and downloaded the latest driver for my card, it installed with no problems, but AERO was disabled after it...

    HOW TO FIX:

    go to Device manager > Display Driver > right click on your graphics card driver and choose UPDATE DRIVER <<<

    mine updated, and the name was changed after the 8600GTS this was added ( MS Corp - WDDM v1.2

    That did work for me. I've been using Windows Basic since 7959 was leaked. Now we have Metro and Aero! Thanks.

    Internet Explorer is not working at all. I'm not complaining, just letting you know.

    Dual booted Windows 7 with Windows 8.
    Not so good idea.
    They're both installed, i used redpill on windows 8, but when i booted back into 7, it said:
    Windows 7
    Build 7601
    This copy of Windows is not genuine
    -
    I used Windows Loader 2.0.3 on it again, it's genuine now.
    Is there any fix to this?

    Also, for those who can't use IE that's pinned, you have to use 64 bit versions of programs now.

    64 bit IE not working either. I don't care, I don't use it, just reporting.

    It's a bad idea to replace either explorer.exe or imageres.dll or both. I have a black screen on boot up now. Anyone know anything about this? Time to reinstall already?

    It seems that 270.61 version NVIDIA driver works well...

    Maybe you can try "Backup and restore"...

    275.33 (most recent) Nvidia Drivers work fine, you just have to go to device manager, click the dropdown under display adapters, right click, and select update driver as posted earlier by raxor.
