Unzip utility for Windows Vista
I installed the Vista RC1 last night. Tried to install the drivers for my
motherboard, but they came in .zip form. Is there an "Unzip" utility in Vista RC1...? Thank you. -- CTP |

Vista should show .ZIP files as Compressed (zipped) folders
If you click on the .ZIP it should open, you can navigate through the folder in the normal way Brian "ChrisP" wrote in message ... I installed the Vista RC1 last night.

Thank you, Brian. I appreciate it.
It seems that the system is working fine anyway, except for the serious file corruption problem after installation of Computer Associates EZ Virus. But it seems that it is under control... for now, at least, after I removed the AntiVirus. But that is a subject for another post, I guess, unless you could give me some recommendations for AntiVirus software on 64 bit platform...? By the way... What a fantastically beautiful interface! I am still amazed, even though the supply of 64 bit software is so limited.

Chris
Yes, Vista is growing on me, they have to get a few implementation issues resolved though - nVidia drivers, SCSI interface and for me personally to get SLI working. On Vista x64, Symantec Antivirus appears to work OK, but it is part of a business package (Server + Workstations) and not ideal for single PCs. You will see plenty on antivirus in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general + other Vista groups. Also check microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general for this plus other info on Vista 64bit Brian "ChrisP" wrote in message ... Thank you, Brian. I appreciate it.

Unzip utility for Windows Vista
Thank you, guys. I will keep trying to find one. For now, I just have to be
careful, especially that I have experienced serious problems with the file system. It seems like running 32-bit XP and 64-bit Vista on 1 hard drive is creating "havoc" in the file system, at least on my computer. Every time I reboot and switch from one OS to the other, I get the message that the NTFS file system is corrupt and the CHKDSK should be run. System Volume Info files are being deleted/re-referenced etc. - perhaps it's the "remnants" of the AntiVirus. For now, before I use Vista for something more serious, I guess I will just enjoy the "undeniable beauty of the interface" LOL. I still think it looks fantastic...

LOL. Thanks guys, I will keep looking.
I have experienced some serious problems with the NTFS file structure while switching between 32-bit XP and 64-bit Vista. The CHKDSK has to be run almost every time I switch between the OS'. Perhaps it's the remnants of the AntiVirus. I guess for now I will just enjoy the "undeniable beauty of the interface" LOL. I still think it looks fantastic...

Sounds like you have problems from some application; have you have a full
chkdsk on all drives/partitions ? I have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of XP and Vista running on a single PC, I am using a RAID. Each is in it own partition, I don't have problems access files from the OSes when logged into one. WinZip or WinRAR work on all 4 OSes Brian "ChrisP" wrote in message ... LOL.

I think that my problem was related to the set up of my motherboard. The
S.M.A.R.T. was disabled by default, and I have also changed some other settings. I have not had a chance to test the new set up on Vista, but my XP seems to be running well. Are there any recommended settings for the hard drive/IO devices etc. to run Vista? I have a Serial ATA Seagate 320GB 7200.10 Perpendicular Recording Hard Drive, AsRock DualVSTA MB, Core 2 Duo E6600, 1GB PC2700 DDR dual channel, BFG 7800GS AGP.
