eh Everest. Intel's chipset ultility says that I have GM965 but Everest says PM965.

Support for Windows 7 and a new auto-load feature under Windows Vista

That was added in the 4.60 betas a while ago, wish I could use existing key

Haytch · Feb 6, 2009, 06:08 PM

Long story short . . . There was an issue in purchasing my licence and i ended up with a second licence. Anyone want to offer my computer an oral examination ?

I used my existing key, no problems. I even copied and pasted my .ini from the 4.60 version into the 5.00 version so I would not have to redo all my preferences.

Does that work?

Will give it a go.

Thanks

EDIT:

Downloaded the zip version, pasted files into Everest directory and it carried on as norm!

Not exactly. I think the best way to explain what happened would be to use the good old saying, 'Never get a women to do a mans job'.

FilipM · Feb 7, 2009, 10:47 AM

I just installed mine, it sort of upgraded (installed in same folder, same icon works) license worked.

Haytch · Feb 7, 2009, 06:52 PM

I use to have the older version installed and never thought of saving the .ini files for my settings, so i just cut the whole folder and relocated it off my o.s partition. Everytime i formatted, it made no difference, because everest could be started by going to the relocated directory. This always maintained my settings (Except startup, but i prefer to manually boot up Everest anyways).

Ive installed the new version and i tried to copy my .ini files over to the new version but i dont get the custom OSD panel

Any advice ?

Strange, I have been using the same everest.ini file for at least six months, over probably a dozen BETA releases of 4.60, and it worked the same from 4.60.1631 to 5.00.1650.

Arctucas · Feb 7, 2009, 07:28 PM

BTW, the first BETA for 5.00 is available.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Feb 9, 2009, 02:34 AM

Installed v5.0 right over 4.60 and i dont have to put in a new key. Im carrying on as though i didnt upgrade.

I am curious, how do you install over the previous version, just copy the new files to the existing folder?

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Feb 9, 2009, 10:24 PM

I just ran the exe for version 5.00. It installed and no issues.

Hmm...

When I ran the .exe, it installed a "Lavalys" folder, while my previous 4.60 was in a folder named "everestultimate_build_1631_zx2ctmy3swb". That is probably why I needed to enter my key and copy the .ini file to the new version?

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Feb 9, 2009, 11:09 PM

Not for me.

So, did 5.00 install to the same folder as your previous version?

Or, if it installed to a new folder, you are saying your license key and .ini file automatically were imported to the new folder?

EDIT: BETA 1655 is available if anyone is interested.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Feb 10, 2009, 11:12 PM

It installed in the same folder as 4.60.
