    For activation you need msdm table with oem-dm key in it or activation fails for win 8.x and win 10. I cant reproduce this black background issue some are having. I would like for someone to send me their iso so I can test myself. My original untouched iso's always work perfectly whether it is in VMware or a real machine so I am stumped. :(

    I wonder if these ISO's are custom built and maybe a update slipstreamed into it is causing issues. I know for a fact if original iso then the project works correctly.

    If I cant reproduce the problem, I cant fix it. Something obviously is interfering with the theme but what is the big question.

    My guess can only be an update/s integrated in custom isos is the culprit. Because this happened to me as well, as you already know.
    Something is incompatible with your latest project. March 03 2015 project has no incompatibility.

    Can someone please send me a link in pm to one of these custom built iso's so I can see where the problem is and make corrections if slipstream is present?

    It might be a update that locks theme possibly. Like I said, its not the project but these custom iso's. Without seeing the changes I cant fix it no matter how many complaints I get. :(

    Odd! I have the black background issue on any Windows 7 SP1 edition. Haven't tested on Windows 8.1.

    I used Multi OEM Project and Simplix Pack to integrate updates into install.wim no problems at all on a dell laptop just last week activated and branding was fine.

    I integrated only updates using NTLite. My windows 7 wallpaper is fine but 8.1 is black. All other information is ok.

    There seems to be conflict with the process ppl are using to slipstream updates. I don't see this being a project problem but instead how end users are slipstreaming. I will investigate more but today is busy for me.

    If project works on original iso's then it isn't the project but the method of slipsteaming ppl are using causing the issues. This would then not be a bug in the project but slipstreaming instead.

    my method for Win7 SP1: Simplix Pack :cool:
    But again, the strange thing is that March 03 2015 project works.
    You will be able to corroborate that... :worthy:

    I don't have the march 3 project so that info does me no good. lol I would like to get a hold of another lang beside English but untouched, no slipstreaming to see results as well. This is going to take me some time folks so be patient.

    Its going to take me 6 hrs to download Mr.X x86 iso. :(

    Its taking too long to download these custom iso's so I will make my own and find different lang to test on as well. I hate upload servers for big files. lol Still say this has nothing to do with the project but end users not slipstreaming correctly (this is why I do NOT make slipstreams, to much of a pita and ppl always blame something else). lol


    See that is just it....more to it then just the project so conflicts can arise. How can you say its a project bug when your not sure. lol I will make my own and see results.

    @The_Guardian
    I'm sorry to bother you. :rolleyes:
    Just want to make clear, I didn't mention it was a bug but incompatibility. Somewhere is something that has changed, most likely updates integration. :biggrin:

    If you want March 03 project just tell me...

    This isn't bothering me but my scooter broke down is. I am trying to work on it and download at the same time. Busy day is all. Sorry if I came across rude. I am downloading the Spanish esd now and will test it by itself first to see if language is the issue but I highly doubt that. Then will create a slipstream version to test. Will be a while before download completes but as I test I will update this thread with the info I find. Stay tuned. ;)

    Think I will buy bicycles for me and my wife instead of motorized pieces of crap. lol Seems like I have been buying lemons lately and it is costing me too much. Bicycles are cheaper. lol I might have to sell my computers to get money up for another vehicle. :(

    I am confused a bit...so its win 8.x and win 7 having the black wallpaper issue? Or is it just win 7? I seen a comment earlier saying win 8.x had an issue as well. I will have to download a bunch of iso's and create custom iso's in order to test. You wont have an answer today for sure.
