Build 7989 x64 Questions and Findings

yeah i hv ........i mean i hv seen others ..........

 

does nothing....

 

It crashes my windows 8 thanks alot

 

ur welcome..

 

Well mister phoenic.. is there any proof on BA that it works???

 

yeah，but windows update has no message about graphic driver,its normal when i install 7985, i think the graphic driver is old ,it seems we can modify it，only i cant know next to do.before，the driver is used in 32 bit system,this is the first time for me to use 64 bit, this related ?

 

You must put the driver in compatibility mode.

 

The onscreen keyboard has had a UI redesign... it has the same features as that of D9 with being able to thumb type. One major flaw of the keyboard is the removal of the Windows Flag and Alt keys, which makes remoting a server from a tablet a bit complicated.

 

The only reason I could think is that with the new tablet UI you would not need a Windows Key due to the gestures leading to the start screen. No idea about alt.

And will Office 15 run on this???

 

not on my pc. Still crashes after a few seconds

 

Where did that thread with the explorer ribbon icons go? I wanted icons again.

 

WinRT UI

Both glcnd and ImmersiveBrowser applications (Program Files\Microsoft) don't work even when binding webpages/pdf files to them. The XAML files for the PDF reader are just WPF ControlTemplates so I'll try to open them with ExpressionBlend later.

When you open glcnd a "WinRT UI" window briefly pops up, dunno if it's new
(Window isn't transparent it's just a printscreen, it disappears immediately.)

For those who are having issues regarding desktop composition and NVIDIA drivers there is an easy solution; The latest GeForce 275.53 drivers appear to break desktop composition, however the 270.61 drivers work fine and don't pose any issues.

As for IE x86 and WMP x86 crashing upon launch, this is due to the RedPill enabler. It only patches slc.dll in C:\Windows\System32 which holds 64-bit system files.

slc.dll within SysWOW64 which holds the 32-bit files MUST also be patched in order for x86 application emulation to work properly. This is why you see x86 Windows apps such as IE x86 and WMP x86 crash.

 

Somone can extract bootscreen resource, and upload it?

 

I'am trying for you

 

I have done all the icons for the ribbon except for the undo/redo and select all/none/invert because I cannot find any dll that has those icons, I checked shell32.dll, imageres.dll, mycomput.dll and explorerframe.dll. Anyone know where they are located??

Use redpill 1.1

 

Can you share a registry patch or something how you did this as the original post is gone.

 

How did you extract this? I opened the bootres.dll (system32) with ResourceHacker but I don't see any pictures.
