Windows 8 Build 7850 M1 Leak

I've got the same theme issue and the WEI cannot compute my video playback...such is life in Beta Land.


Good news...Logitech solar keyboard software d/l, installed, and working fine

 

So ... Install, try and delete that's all for this m1 build !!!

 

I didn't think I was this noob, but I have now tried to install this in VirtualBox 4.04 3 times, and each one has failed.

1) 1024MB ram + standard Win7 settings
2) 2048MB ram + standard Win7 settings
3) 2048MB ram + 2D + 3D acceleration + standard Win 7 settings (this attempt got further)

Have people got this running in VBOX? And if so with what settings.

Thanks for your help and sorry for being more noob than I thought

i use same settings and all fail , i dont understand what is wrong ?

 

i have tested with virtualbox.. dosnt work.. at all have problems too with virtualbox use VMWARE Player

 

I installed in VBox 4 with 768 MB RAM and worked fine

 

Tried installing manually after it extracts from device manager?

 

Installing now via Wndows Virtual PC , I'll let ya know how it goes.



Update: Negative Ghost Rider, it appear not to like Windows Virtual PC either

 

Any hint?

Guys use vmware, it's the best that windows 8 works on it

 

Lol, I was brave and installed it straight to my netbook, and it was the best decision I made. Windows 8 runs way better on real hardware than virtual hardware. In fact, it was more buggy in wmware than on my netbook...

This build has made my system way faster too, I have 2GBs on my netbook and Win7 used to use around 850-900mb of ram, Win8 uses only 550-600 ram. If you have a spare/old PC, its worth installing it straight on there. Besides, when newer builds leak you can just keep on installing on that same machine

 

Tried to install on VirtualBox, had bsod at bootup, no more luck to get it working on vbox

 

I triple boot, installed Win8 to an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD - 120GB - works fine. Next leak I'll probably try the UPDATE route and see what happens.

 

Could I use the free VMware Player, or can someone recommend a free virtualisation tool to use for taking a look at the UI of Windows 8?
