Hello, I have tried to install Vista RC1 on my XP computer, but it says that I have to update a driver for Ali M5229 PCI Bus Master IDE-controller, a hard disk controller. I have been looking for the driver on the internet the hole day, but can't find it. what can I do? I also tried to boot the DVD, but then only a Vista background and the mouse appeares, not the installation... Please help...

I have 5536 up and running. It's a thing of beauty. Just a little problem - when I try to download WLMD through Welcome center I get a message: "IE Requirement- add xMins:web to the HTML tag" What does this mean?

Hi there, Just installed Vista RC1 (build 5536) onto one of my test machines (anyone got a spare product key???), and went to run OnTrack's EasyRecovery Professional 6.1, and it doesn't seem to be working correctly. First, when I attempt to undelete a file, I get the warning telling me that if I am running WIndows XP, I must be logged in as Admin -- which I am. Then, none of my local drives...

I have been unable to do performance assessment rating on my laptop. I disabled the graphics driver and ran it again and it gave a rating of one, so I now know that the graphics driver was blocking the rating assessment from completing. Oddity though, windows update no longer has my graphics chip driver on it. (chipset 915/910 Intel) I have installed the XP drivers but they have made my...

On the screen saver issue, I can't say for certain but it never seems to activate or something is waking the PC up. I've been away from my computer during lunch and even once all night and have come back to an active desktop (no screen saver). On the sleep side, it appears that with 5536 USB mouse or keyboard (MS Wireless 6000 desktop) can no longer wake up the system. I need to use the...

I want to see my bug online. Thanks.

I have a client who likes to add custom icons to all his shortcuts, including those on the Links Toolbar in IE7 (beta 3). It accepts the new icon, but once you go out of IE7b3, then it reverts to the site's Favicon. Personally, I prefer this functionality, but my client insists he wants his costom icons back. Is there an edit to the Registry or something that will facilitate this?

In using Windows Mail as a newsgroup reader, down in the lower left side very bottom there used to be a counter of sorts stating how many messages there is and how many left unread. It's no longer there! However, in clicking on any of the mail folders, it does appear for mail count messages. Is this oddness normal or a bug? dotcom

How do you get rid of the login screen so that it defaults to my normal login. The method used for the previous version does not work. Can someone tell me how to do it with this version? Thanks

As mentioned in an earlier post, after upgrading to 5536, IE no longer works for me, although all my other networking works. But, I apparently need to access a Microsoft web site to download the problem reporting tool, and it is trying to use IE to do that. Does anyone have any pointers on how to download the tool under XP and then install it on Vista? Thanks. eric

Hi, I'm looking at a problem that's occuring on the Vista CTP build released in august 2006. The crash didn't happen in beta 2, but now I have no symbols to give me better insight into the problem. msdl.microsoft.com doesn't seem to have any symbols. Any hints for where to get them? Thanks

I WAS PLEASENTLY SURPRISED TO SEE MICROSOFT HAS GOT THE UPGRADE OPTION SORTED OUT. I THOUGHT I WOULD BE A DEVIL AND GIVE THE PRE RC1 A WHIRL VIA UPGRADE RATHER THAN CLEAN INSTALL EXPECTING MANY PROBLEMS. EVERY THING WORKS PERFECTLY SO FAR APART FROM PC CHILLIN WHICH I HAD TO REINSTALL.

Hi I have notice the the performance with Vista version of IE sucks, It has been a real hit or hit with web site loading. And it is not my provider. I have no problem loading sites fast with IE 7.0 on XP. And it is not the site either. Any one else with this problem
