Default Upgrade from RC1 to RC2 with orginal Nvidia driver don't work

Hi !

when you have install an orginal Nvidia driver on you RC1 you can't upgrade
to RC2.
The upgrade process will be failed after 2 hourse.
After deinstalling the orginal Nvidia driver you will be able to upgrade to
RC2.

Regards,

Pawel

Default Upgrade from RC1 to RC2 with orginal Nvidia driver don't work

I did not remove the nVidia drive in my Vista RC1 installs
and the upgrade to RC2 worked in both x86 and x64. No
failure at all during upgrade.

Default Upgrade from RC1 to RC2 with orginal Nvidia driver don't work

I am interested in this as a clean install of RC2 installed fine but my
grahpics card/monitor resolution were not good at all. I am not surre if this
would cause overall performance issues as I noted slow downs when trying to
do anything - didn't have anything like this with beta2 - pre-RC1 or RC1 but
RC2

I had just read it was bets to get grahpics support by doing an upgrade
install of RC2 with Nvidia's driver installed which is why I came here to
check on this.

I installed Nvidia's driver with RC1 which is working very well for me would
like to install RC2 again but dread the actual slow down I had first time
with the clean install. If I thought it was due to the fact I did a clean
install then an upgrade may be an option especially when my monitor
resolution is correct now?

My computer has supported all previous versions without too many issues
apart from installing my sound driver each time which is why I was
disappointed with the issues I had after RC2. puzzled now

The nVidia driver in RC2 build 5744 is newer than the driver
on the nVidia web site for RC1. I wouldn't mess with it if
it's working.

RC2 made my Nvidia driver worse as my resolution could not be set as the
monitor should have it. When I formatted and installed RC1 again my screen
was perfect - not too sure why this happened with RC2.
