If you use a 32-bit resource hacker make sure to open C:\Windows\SysNative\shsxs.dll.

Opening C:\Windows\System32\shsxs.dll in a 32-bit application will make WOW redirect to the SysWOW64 folder and end up opening the 32-bit shsxs.dll which won't load which could cause those problems.

You may have to manually create the SysNative folder yourself in the Windows folder.

I mean either the files themselves or a step by step guide. I'm bad at graphic editing so have no idea what to edit, what to place where etc.

I believe that it allows some specific componentes of the Desktop UI that are dependent on the Immersive UI to work even when the Immersive UI is disabled (or partially disabled). This is just speculation, though. Let's hope they document this Registry entry on their MSDN documentation when the specification is ready :)

Glad to know it worked on your side. ^_^

Here's another screenshot for you guys :D

While the new Windows Defender is much better, since it's basically a rebranded Windows component merged from MSE, they need to improve the engines a lot, because full scans are still very slow!

You using the right architecture version? What's not working like Installer etc as it may be that thing that it downloads it rather than having it all locally.

Office 2010 PP works fine for me.

Yes, its the right architechture. It says its only compatable with Vista SP1 and greater, and I do (of course) and it won't work. Office 2007 works fine on it though. Plus, what's PP?

Office works in the DP? I thought it didn't?

PP = Professional Plus
And yes it does, it works wonders and very speedy! In Windows 7 it took a while to start-up and showed the loading screen. Windows 8 = Instant :D

Professional Plus (aka the *kitchen sink* version of Office 2010).

I have Professional Plus installed - in fact, I used the image-mounting feature to install it (as I have for all my software on images).

If the image supports AutoPlay when burned, it will AutoPlay when merely mounted.

So far, I've used CD images, single-layer and dual-layer DVD images, and I see no reason that BD images wouldn't work.

Another whole utility category made both ubiquitous, and obsolete.

New Windows Defender Threat Alert Dialog

Image

Speaking of Windows Defender, can someone explain why a full scan was taking 8+ hours to complete, while still being a little far from finishing? I had to cancel it because I wasn't expecting it to finish soon! :?

It's probably a compatibility issue, is every time you try to run Minecraft will resulting a BSOD like this one?

Yep.. I was just curious about what the message meant, something about the kernel and something malicious

Oh, yeah! My Office Professional Plus installed too! I've had it in 7, because in previous builds it didn't work (well, the starter one.)

Hey all, a problem. I had Win7 installed on C:. I installed Windows 8 on another partition. After that, in the GUI Boot Manager, I selected Windows 7 and the system booted into the repair console for windows 7. The drive magically became F: from C:. The repair thing shows Windows 7 (F:) though Windows Explorer of WDP still shows it as C:. What should I do to properly boot into windows 7?

That means some program or driver corrupted core kernel structures such as the IDT, System syscall table, or kernel paged code.

It scanned my Dual core Test rig 'C' drive in about 3 minutes (default scan)
Were you scanning all drives, incl storage?
