Tihiy, unless you're the user mustdie, someone else is distributing your work without mentioning you.

Registration was successful. However, I am a still getting the same error.

C:\Users\Andre>err 0x80040155 # for hex 0x80040155 / decimal -2147221163 : REGDB_E_IIDNOTREG winerror.h # Interface not registered # 1 matches found for "0x80040155" try to register the DLLs with regsvr32.exe. Hello Andre, Thank you for replying. I have tried registering the DLLs but it keeps throwing out error messages stating: "The module [DLL name] failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found."

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to get Windows Vista's version of Windows Defender running in Windows 7? I do not like 7's version as it removed too many features. Having the "old" version would make the experience in 7 more enjoyable for me. Thank you all for your time. EDIT: I copied the Windows Defender folder from the Program Files directory in Windows Vista, and placed it in the Windows 7 folder of the same name. There is only one issue... It cannot check for updates. Error code 0x80040155.

Hello, I once had a similar problem. Fix It would not run for me, stating that a problem occurred and that I should try running it later. The reason Fix It would not run is because the Windows Module Installer (or TrustedInstaller) Service was disabled... Maybe that is the case for you? I know it might be a long shot...

That's weird. Thank you for looking into it, Andre. I guess I'll have to use a program to change it back to the RTM one...

But, but... Wikipedia states: [emphasis mine] "Microsoft announced that Windows 7, along with Windows Server 2008 R2, was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009. Windows 7 RTM is build 7600.16385.090713-1255, which was compiled on July 13, 2009, and was declared the final RTM build after passing all Microsoft's tests internally."

Happy Third Birthday, Windows 7!!! Fun fact: This date is also when Longhorn was renamed as Windows Vista.

I am not quite sure what that meant.

A "nice" little translated article that explains how Metro is ugly. That gorgeous picture of Windows Vista illustrates more than just beautiful UI design, it shows how Metro was designed by school children after lunch.

Hello, I know the question may seem trivial, but I am wondering how to change the text color in the Windows 7 task pane? I'm trying to make it white. http://s16.postimage.org/eco2mqi7p/Clipboard01.jpg

What gives? Why single out Vista RTM individually from SP1+? It's modern...ish.

I have a question regarding Shake, Peek, and Snap. What is the likelihood of those features remaining in RTM? I know they're still in the Release Preview, but with Microsoft's emphasis on Metro it makes me curious.

Andre, If I may inquire.. Have you found anything?

The only thing that would have made that video better is if he had dropped it at 0:29. I'm surprised he didn't! Windows 8 supposedly to be delievered to manufacturers in July Perhaps with October GA? Like Windows 7...

Hello, Whenever I try to install Avira (7.06.00.268 or below) on Windows 98 Second Edition, I receive the error:

bphlpt, Thank you for your reply. I am "using" vLite on Windows 7 RTM. And yes bphlpt, I would be willing to write a tutorial..

I apologize if this is not in the appropriate forum. I am trying to use vLite on Windows 7, but I receive: Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length.

I will remove IE on my Windows 7 installation and let you know if the Sidebar still works. Vinifera, It should be noted that ieshims.dll was also reported missing for me, but this is before I uninstalled Internet Explorer. Sidebar worked perfectly at that time. It apparently does not work without IE. Upon removing IE, I execute Sidebar and nothing happens, though Task Manager states that it is running. However, clicking "Gadgets" in the context menu on the desktop does work on my end. Could you try that and see if it works for you?

Dependency Walker log for Sidebar.exe (should be) attached. EDIT: File will not upload.

1. I have a desktop that dual boots between Vista and 7. As soon as I can find a Windows XP retail disc for sale, it will soon be a triple-boot configuration. 4. I miss the ability to choose. XP is wonderful to me because it allows me to freely switch between the old and new, or mix the two. That and I absolutely love it's blue interface.

Thank you, Ponch! Very helpful and thorough. The computer is from 2008 (no floppy drive)... Is it possible to load the drivers from anything else?

Jenny Lam's better than her! That is all. On a side-note, I tried Windows 8 for the first time last week. CoffeeFiend, you were right. The drawbacks outweigh the benefits. For example, I hardly noticed the new copy/move interface. While Metro wasn't bad with a mouse and keyboard (it was very responsive), it would be a waste of time learning how to use it. *looking for news article about Windows 7*
