    Yes, nothing was patched. I'll wait until the next version comes out that works better

    Yep, just did another clean install and tried installing MSE after patching, and now it won't even install. Tried Compatibility mode and all.

    Also I can't seem to get the wallpaper to automatically apply to the login screen, but at least it's auto-coloring . I copied my aero.theme, edited to look like this:

    Without any patch, the SetLogonBackground works?

    Dunno, never tried it before, just the auto color and that worked. It seemed pretty straight forward, dunno what the problem is.

    I'm going to try to see if it's really bluepill related bug. About MSE, yes it's true, latest version of BluePill isn't compatible with it, trying to fix this for BlackZer0.

    Sorry ReelFiles, I'm really clueless with that post-beta testing bugs, but I'm trying to track them down, just be patient.

    No problem, Avast works good when installed in Win7 Compatibility mode, btw.

    I just don't understand about MSE, it started to say "Windows isn't genuine", I removed BluePill and installed it again, MSE gave no more genuine related errors, I left my PC alone, "Windows isn't genuine" again...

    About SetLogonBackground, I tried and didn't work, seems that this new Windows 8 functionality still unsupported by BluePill, an issue that will be solved soon. (I hope at least)

    Well, you aren't hurting me. I think at least that if BlackZer0 is trying to fix the redpill's bugs and is giving credit for the person who made the stuff he didn't made (in installer it says "some credits to scooby"), so there isn't anything wrong with his work. I'm just a beta tester of BluePill, nothing more.

    For BluePill users, MSE still giving headaches, unfortunately...

    Working fine on my end, make sure any browser scriptblockers are off.

    First:

    @Claysoft65
    Do yourself a favor and gtfo, it is not "1 characters edit"

    Try this method of getting MSE to work, no guarantees:
    1) Clean-Install
    2) Activate Windows 8
    3) Install MSE
    4) Unlock

    If that doesn't work, i'll be back later in the day with a new patch

    Already tried that and every variation thereof. If you install it before, it just shows up non-genuine after you patch. It's fine in Systemcpl, just MSE bitching. Avast is a decent alternative that works fine.
