Microsoft, why you are ignoring all these users who love the current Xp themes? I want to run Windows Basic on my computer, and I want it to look close to the current Xp themes. The current Windows Basic theme is actually very basic! Going to Vista will be downgrading the OS from Xp to before Xp.

I have the same problem with My Asus K8N-E Delluxe (Nforce4) motherboard. Does anyone already have a solution The strange thing is that when I install it on my MSI K8N Diamond deluxe with for the rest almost the same hardware components as my Asus board the installation works just fine. My specs of both systems are Asus: 1 x 300 Gb Maxtor SATA drive, AMD 64 3000+ processor, 2 x 1 Gb...

I love to learn; so when the Media Center for Vista could not install my TV tuner I came to this discussion board for a fix. And I'll be darned if I didn't find one! SO to all those special people that take the time to answer questions; thanks for the lessons. This time I think I'll actually leave Vista installed! -- always learning

That is Not what the Windows Vista Beta Team Blog says, Just FYI. "Jason" wrote in message ... Kevin, No offence, but being a MSDN or TechNet Plus subscriber does not entitle you to interm builds, FYI. Just be grateful that you have been given a chance to use Vista. RC1 will be out soon and should even be better then...

Hey Mike, I put in my specs for my system in another part of this forum, but if you need it again, it is a AMD athlon 3200 processor, Soltek motherboard, socket 939, I have a Ati video card X800 XT All-in-one-wonder. I have 2 gigs of memory and all total for the three hard drives, two internal one external, 600 gb. I have a IDE Western Digital Hard Drive with 80 gigs, a SATA drive of...

I thought it was broken but realized the settings I was looking for have another page with more settings that override the first page! Right click the "start menu" button then properties, that is the first page with the option with "store and display a list of recently opened programs", now click "Customize" next to the option above with the radio button that says "Start Menu". On that page...

Hi - I had been running Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 as a general beta tester. I found a few bugs and reported them. But because Build 5384 ran slowly, I removed it. It's my understanding that subsequent Builds have solved many of the speed problems, but those builds are available to general beta testers. Question: When RC1 is released, will I have to reinstall Build 5384, or will I be able...

A safe assumption, but they drop new builds every day, if not multiple times a day, and many of the issues you may be having in, again, I assume build 5384, may very well already be fixed. For example; in 5472, there was no video driver for the Intel 945GM chipset. In 5536, there are drivers, so that's fixed. If I were still running 5472, the answer to fixing my video card driver would be to...

I made my statements butressed by these facts--and I have plenty idea and I have since the thing started. 1) None of us were given an NDA on the TBT. Whatever the MVPs and TAP have in their own programs with their own unique brand of access is separate from the TBT although they are always included all TBT access--and more. 2) Paul Donnelly who administers the TBT made an explicit statement...

Frank; Be careful what you assume. 5536 is not available to MSDN and probably will never be. There are many legitimate sources for Microsoft Beta products. -- Jupiter Jones http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org

the OCX error, as far as I an tell, is because of the upgrade from 5384 to 5472. Between each build the shell is in constant change. OCX errors, unless I'm mistaken, are object errors when trying to 'talk' with any given api fails. I'd suggest to do full installs from vista to vista (since vista is still beta).

I would hope that no one in their right mind would want to install Word for Windows 1.0 on anything, I was just using it as an example of asking for help for outdated software. Vista Beta 2 is outdated software. Build 5536, which I downloaded last Friday, for all intents and purposes, is outdated software because I am sure there a new builds already. Lang "William" wrote...
