Vista5600 on an MSI K8?
I have a MSI K8NGM2-FID and can"t get past setup no matter what I do. Has
anyone been able to install Vista RC1 on this motherboard? I have been able to install it on an NF3 and a NF2 build ,so it's not the dvds or the hardware, as I used the same hardware except for the motherboard . Any help? K8 board, 1gb of ram an 80 gb WD harddrive and a Lite-on DVDRW AMD 3500 cpu. Any help /suggestions?

BIOS updates for RC1
Many MOBO manufacturters released BIOS updates at the same time RC1 was
released to apparrently resolve some RC1 issus(s). So I suggest that you check for a one. "BIGDADDY51" wrote in message ... I have a MSI K8NGM2-FID and can"t get past setup no matter what I do.

BIOS updates for RC1
Latest bios is 3.5 released in June 2006 so, no new bios yet. I guess the key
is to keep checking MSI for a new one . Thanks "JW" wrote: Many MOBO manufacturters released BIOS updates at the same time RC1 was released to apparrently resolve some RC1 issus(s).

BIOS updates for RC1
Are you sure you are using the correct RC1 release for your CPU 32bit(X86)
or 64Bit? "BIGDADDY51" wrote in message ... Latest bios is 3.5 released in June 2006 so, no new bios yet. I guess the key is to keep checking MSI for a new one .

BIOS updates for RC1
Yup, made sure I downloaded 32 bit, because I knew those drivers were bad
enough to get, without fooling around with 64 bit ones. "JW" wrote: Are you sure you are using the correct RC1 release for your CPU 32bit(X86) or 64Bit? "BIGDADDY51" wrote in message ...

Are you saying that you have a 64bit chip and yet you did not even want to
try the 64 bit drivers for your chip? "BIGDADDY51" wrote in message ...

BIOS updates for RC1
Enough problems with 32 bit drivers. I updated video to a X700 Radeon video
card. Card installed perfectly, and took care of a driver glitch of the onboard video.
