Windows 7 Beta Observations and Screenshots

[karan2670]

Is there any way of making it look like XP ? I really dislike how Vista looks. I cant find anything

 

[Kuantum]

anyone experiencing blurred system fonts ?? even after switching off cleartype and disabling smooth font edges option.

Did some googling. Found a site about text rendering and possible solution.

Edit: changed the segoe UI font to Tahamo... system fonts display much better now

You upgrading your OS or doing a clean install?
I suggest you format your partition and do a clean install.

 

[SunnyBoi]

all 5 clean installs after formatting c.

5th attempt installed, boots and gets stuck at weindows is starting services :| even in safe mode same thing

Change the media, i think thats the problem, if possible, then use a torrent to check if the file is proper..download managers sometimes screw up the files too..Do check the file hashes first..

 

[SunnyBoi]

dont think media is the prob, dloaded iso direct from MS.

^^ abbe.. check hash/checksums.
