Someone mentioned this file BDDVista_Full.cab that includes User State Migration Tool (USMT) 3.0. Where can I get it?

Will Vista's boot loader still work if I move a boot partition? My test system currently has one hard drive with two boot partitions and several data partitions. The first boot partition on the drive boots Beta 2 and the other boots RC1. The current Beta 2 partition is approximately twice as large one hosting RC1 and the RC1 partition is located near the end of the drive with relatively...

I setup a Vista User to our SBS 2003 Domain using the connectcomputer wizard. It all went well but . . . The user's profile folder setup on the Server was "UserName.V2" instead of the expected "UserName" . Additionally a network lnk has been setup on the Vista User but this has been set to \\ServerName\Users\UserName (without the .V2) The Username.V2 folder is the one used used...

I've installed Vista Beta 2 a while ago. Upgraded to the pre-RC1, was on vacation for the follow-ups and now I have the latest version, 5728, and when I try to install it, I keep getting the error, "Upgrade is not available. You can only upgrade when using XP SP2 or Windows Vista." Well, I'm using Vista but it's not recognizing it for some reason. The other "upgraded" never had a problem but this...

Vista says this program has issues. My PC Dell XPS/9150 - High Def sigmatel audio. PowerDVD 5, 6 or 7 - DVD media (any media) has distortion. Media Player 11 plays everything fine. ?Driver - ?Bios - ?PowerDVD Software - ?Windows Vista I am not sure which is to blame. Everything is fine in Windows XP Media. Nero 7.2.3.2 doesn't work either "Brian Wescombe" wrote:

Hi, Anyone else notice;in 5728; when you look at the dropdown in the IE7 address bar; it shows all the places you've been in your pc? I.E. not just (www.vistabug.com;-lol) it's also showing internal paths; i.e. C:\Users\Jeff\Downloads ; C:\Users\Jeff\Documents; etc. What's up with this? Never saw this before. Jeff

I recently upgraded to Vista RC1 from XP Home. I had two separate files for my media files (1 for music-mp3, wav, etc; and 1 for video-mpeg, wmv, etc), but after upgrading to Vista RC1 I can't open these folders. When I try to open them I get a warning that tells me that I don't have permission to open these folders. I only have one profile on my PC and I went to the security tab and take...

Just fyi... There's a new build of Avast! anti-virus out today, 4.7.892, that's supposed to be fully compatible with Vista RC1.

I caused a program to error by not giving the right information. This is supposed to cause an error. Now the program starts in compatibility mode. I want it back to normal, how do I get it out of compatibility mode?

Hi, I'm a MSDN and CPP tester, upgraded a box from XP MCE to Vista RC1 ultimate, but was disappointed the DVD codec had problems on the AMD K7 processor. Upgraded that build to 5728 this morning. Both my MSDN and my CPP keys will activate the box, but it's always listed as not genuine. Hence no Aero, no non-critical updates. Both keys are completely kosher, and I've not used them on 5...

PLEASE PLEASE will you remove the dated Windows XP Logon sound from Vista it plays just before it displays the logon screen and you cannot change it in Windows Sounds. Microsoft please note: This sound is kind of out dated now and people have heard it every time they logon windows xp since late 2000. So thats 6 years using my pc every day i will leave you to do the maths of how many times i...

Dear Team, I, too, and having a similar problem running Outlook 2007 TR under Windows Vista RC1. Many functions (Send All; pick up mail into Inbox of an HTTP service (Microsoft Network), Print) respond with a generic message "Not implemented," or have a null response, or suggest "If this problem persists reinstall Outlook." I've run Office Diagnostics from the hard drive installation, as...

When I was using Beta 2, my SB Live card didn't have a supported vista driver so I used a modified one that worked fine. However, whenever the PC went into Sleep or Hibernation mode, when it comes out of those modes the sound would just disappear. Only a system reboot would bring the sound back. I submitted this as a bug in Beta 2 and personally I thought it had a lot to do with that...

I did a clean install of 5728 today on my Thinkpad T43p. Install went smoothly, but now I cannot get Virtual CloneDrive to work. It seems to install fine, but the app never starts up (no virtual drive in explorer) and in my Device Manager, I have the following device with a warning under DVD/CR-ROM Drives: SCSI DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device In my Event log, I have a Security Failure message...
