Jim,
Hi, Some of that stuff on your list; is because RC1 is using new drivers. The ATI one for example;is older than the one in RC1 CA EZ-trust was;at first;a recommended AV;but in the 1st few weeks of beta 2;was pulled from MSFT's recommendation site. Looking at this list; it seems like you are running a Dell? Which I am; a Dell e1505 laptop. Avast has a great AV that works in rc1 now. Jeff "Jim McCree" wrote in message ...

Jim,
The RC1 default ATI drivers are ATI's newest. And I'm using Intel 3945abg-which doesnt have the Proset Utility;compatabilty, but I just don't add it. Works great with the native Vista driver. Also; I've also got the Broadcomm nic; and as with Intel; the native Vista drivers are working fine;right outta the box(DVD)-lol; I just stay away from the software part; of Intel and Broadcomm;because those are what's incompatable.

Can't see the problem, fact is that Vista is a major change from XP, it's a miracle that so many apps still work. And besides, it's up to the software vendors to ensure that their apps works on a specific OS, and I doubt that many of them have been tested for Vista. Just be lucky that they didn't do it like Apple, make all apps obsolete all in one go. -- Erik Wikström |

Hey Guys,
I been playing with Vista x64 for a few day and my screens seemed sluggish so I donwloaded the latest ATI Drivers today (I played with vista beta 2 and you have to download the one that includes both x86 and x64) and I must say I have much better performance. I'm running a x1600po and an ATI TV Wonder Elite... remote not working but ATI control panel and all screens look great and are quick. I don't know if that all in one package makes a diffrence for anyone else but it worked better for me than the drivers Installed with Vista. Anyhow, Just a thought Op "Erik Wikström" wrote: On 2006-09-09 21:49, Jim McCree wrote: Below is a list of the items that "currently" function perfectly with Vista Beta 2 on my laptop that are / will not work if I "upgrade" to Vista RC1........There is even a Microsoft product that wont work as well in the list..... a.. eTrust EZ Antivirus 7.1 b..
