I'm running Vista RC1 and Outlook 2007 (beta 2) and minus a few driver issues, everything seems to run just fine. However, I can't get Outlook 2007 to connect my company's Pop email server. It times out with 0x8004210B error. I've double checked all the setting and they look right. I even deleted and recreated the account in Outlook, with no luck. I can access via webmail, so there is no...

I have been running an XP/Vista dual boot for sometime, and today I installed the latest RC1 release. Install went ok, but when I rebooted it went straight to Vista - no bootup choices for XP. I have two physical drives - Drive 0 has two partitions for XP and Vista. Drive 1 is just for data. Prior to the RC1 update when booting to Vista, it correctly assigned letter C for the main drive, D...

Running XP MCE on my notebook. I am trying to upgrade to RC1, but setup barks about HP Security Tools and quits. I can't find HP Security Tools anywhere on the machine!!! Not in Add/Remove Programs, Not in the Programs Menu, not in the registry. How am I supposed to remove a program that I can't find and doesn't seem to be installed on my machine???!!!

I lost my key for Beta 2. How can I get a key fro use with RC1?

how do i verify the md5 and sha1 hashes for the vista iso's

"CLOSED WON'T FIX" 9/16/06 All of these cheerleaders for MSFT who say they care what the public files as to bugs should know they totally reject the idea of giving you any meaningful access to the bugs filed on Connect. On 6/5/06, I used Connect's feedback program (which I suppose is available to anyone) to suggest that they open bugs to the public as well as their Beta Chats and their Live...

I just stepped down from Aero Basic to classic mode to see how it all looked in Vista. You know its amazing how quickly you get used to new interfaces - I made it looked like classic XP menus and now I cannot find anything!!

I apologize for contributing another post to the large collection of those asking for keys, about the e-mails, or what have you. I had signed up and downloaded Beta 2 as part of the CPP, saved a .TXT of my key, and played around with it for a while. However, thanks to some hard drive corruption issues I had to reformat and reinstall XP, thus losing the saved key I had. Furthermore, the...

I have an Asus A8N-SLI Premium, AMD 64bit 2x 4400 cpu, Ati 800, 2megs of memory, etc. I was able to load Vista beta 2 32 bit and get all my drivers for the motherboard installed and my NVTV Display driver and with some trouble get access to my data files. I upgraded to RC! 64 bit with no trouble but when I tried to upgrade the 32bit it got stuck in the last step (Completing Upgrade) and I...

Hello - I just upgrade from Beta 2 to RC1 and I'm pleased to announce that the upgrade went smooth. I have a simple question, I would like to check out the "aero" effect. The chipset driver that's being used in this machine is the Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Controller 0 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) and after reading around the newsgroups a bit I see that I'll need to use the...

where can i find information about what each service is, what it does, its dependencies, basically, i want my xp services.msc back :( and as a side note, why is the services window in the management panel not resizable?

Ok using an Abit kn-8, , gig of ram, AND onboad sound which is realtek, and HDA-digital x-mystique. I cant get either of them to install the drivers. I am assuming its a driver signing issue, the workaround to disable that function doesnt seem to be working on RC-1. OS runs great other than I cant get sound cards installed. The drivers for the HDA should work(they did before) ......

Hi, Well after installing RC1 on my desktop and being very pleased by the outcome, I decided to install, with a dual boot on my notebook and... as i didnt totally expect, it ran rather well lol. Ok, it didnt allow Aero cos my on-board graphics just misses out on Direct X 3D, however even when I ran Media Center, played some music, minimized it and ran internet explorer it coped very well...

will the orginal xbox media center extender software work with vista

Using the same logic of UAC Microsoft will implement an even better version of UAC for vista service pack 1. It will be called UAC 2 the next generation (TM) This will be a fence around your computer so you cannot reach it. Therefore ultimate security will be achieved with this revolutionary system. If you are able to somehow climb the fence and get close to the computer a mechanical arm will...

Hi, The Wireless in the Dell D800 internal (Intel 2200BG) doesn't work reliably with Vista. What wireless USB and/or PC Card have you found works well with Vista RC1? Thank you, Brent

Hi, Just a comment for some of you guys who dont have a licence key from MSDN or CPP, MS say that RC1 will be available in "the coming days..." so my guess is teh weekend or maybe a week or two.

I have Vista pre-RC1 installed on a logical drive. I am trying to upgrade to RC1. Setup fails with the error that I need 307MB on the system drive. This is a 100MB FAT16 drive that pretty much only has the XP boot.ini file and ntldr on it. The pre-RC1 installation did not put any files on this drive. Why does RC1 need 307MB on it? Does this mean I can't install RC1 without re-paritioning...

I never received the email from Microsoft about the availability of RC1, or if I did, it got lost in Spam purgatory. Will MS be sending CD copies of RC1 as they did for Beta 2 when I ordered it months ago? If I download the RC1 iso file, will it just do an upgrade to RC1 or do I need to do another full install of Vista? I current dual boot with XP on a thinkpad. Thanks --
