I've just installed Vista RC1 and one major problem is that I can't install
any network printers, the print spooler just crashes, that's if explorer
doesn't crash first.

I'm lucky if Internet explorer runs for long enough to report the errors
without crashing too. Particularly if I visit the Google web site (maybe a
message there)

I had Vista Beta 2 previously but so far RC1 is a big step backwards in
reliabilty.

Unfortunately you won't be able to see the most relevant newsgroup
from the portal you are probably using.

Try this one instead:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=us


E.g. open it and then find this post to your thread in it.


Of course if someone there replies to my post you will see
their answer here in IE General too.


Another alternative would be to use your spiffy new Windows Mail app.
To do that copy the following URL into an IE Address bar and press Enter:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...print_fax_scan


Good luck
