Win 7 64-bit build 7000 is out

[dallasjoh]

I have already ran into a problem trying to load the ATI Windows 7 Beta drivers for my HD3870 video card. After install it keeps saying "no drivers installed for the video card." Just thought you guys would like to know.

Run in Vista compatibility mode and as administrator if you have UAC running.

I have 2-3870s in xfire, i installed ccc 8.12 64bit with no problems on my win 7 beta. uninstall the drivers and try again.

I picked up 10-15 fps on COD5. I still needed a DX9 .dll. That brings up a question. DXIAG says it is running DX11. What gives.?

It looks like Vista? Are you sure you have build 7000? It doesn't really look that much like Vista to me. Check out the new customisable system tray and the control panel (I couldn't find mouse properties in there even 😛). It's similar but not that close.

I agree. It is similar. I never used vista for any real time. My wife has it. Ive had xp 32 for years. The desktop is similar to vista. I have had no problem finding my way around control panel, device manager...all that hasnt changed much.

so far, i still like it. The 64 bit is a nice improvement for me personally. Now i can use all 4G of RAM and 1G of video RAM.

edit: mouse? find it in control panel > ease of access.

Well, the classic control panel is fine, but the default one seems to have rearranged things and hidden them in new places. Why is it in easy of access when it's clearly a device or hardware?

There are crap load of items in" control panel > all control panel items". There is another mouse item in there.

My system had a Windows Experience score of 7.9 on average, except the HD i used for this beta is a 5 year old sata. It scored a 2.9. lol. 7.9 is the highest. CPU 6.9, memory 5.9, graphics 7.9, 3d graphics 6.0.

i can understand my cpu being 6.9. It is a dual core, even tho it is at 3.8G. I guess my patriot 2.0v RAM DDR2 score lower because there is DDR3 out now. My 2 CF 3870s are a bit dated. Otherswise not a bad score. I need a better hard drive for my final build.

edit: 3dmark06 scored 16400. On win xp 32 it usually scores 17000.
I havent tried vantage yet.
