This is a small thing, but kind of annoying. In XP, I was able to set the start menu so that the Connect option was a menu, so that I could quickly select a vpn or a dial up. In Vista there doesn't appear to be a way to do that. Any ideas? Knox

The emails are still going out. I received mine this evening. The keyin the notification is the same as the one I received with the Beta 2 notification. Lee Steele

On Vista build 5520, I am trying to get a minimdump file for a crash. I was able to get a .mdmp file once in the users\appdata\local\temp directory once. After that, I have not been able to get that. Everytime the program crashes, I do not see this temporary dump files geting generated but all I see is a message saying the program will close. Anyone have any idea how I can generate the...

I was sent an email to download Vista Beta 2 with a registration key, but at the time I did not have a DVD burner and therefore could not burn the ISO. I deleted the email with the key and now I have a DVD burner I would like to use RC1. I have downloaded the file but how do I get my Beta 2 key back or do I need to request a new key. If I need to request a new key, how do I do that? Any help...

I D/L'ed then burned the RC1 64 bit ISO and installed as an upgrade on my Compaq V2300Z with ML-37 Turion 64 Proc. The install went fine and begins start up (it gets to a black screen with "Windows Vista RC1" and "Build 5600" in the bottom right corner) then it reboots itself. Safe mode with networking and safe mode have the same result. I rolled the install back to Build 5384. Has...

Put the computer to sleep for the night with the power icon button. Wake the computer up the next day with the Real (tm) power button. Sign on. Everything else functional (IE, Media player...) The Gadget clock and Weather still show last nights values. I had to logout, then log back on before they woke up. Anyone else seeing this 32 bit RC1 5600, upgrade from Pre_RC1 32 bit Steve U

I opted to have Vista beta 2 sent to me from Microsoft in 32 and 64 bit DVD's. Will I recieve RC1 the sameway,or will I have to submit another order,have not recieved an e-mail notification as to what to do,one way or another. -- WRS

I just now received the email invitation to download and test Vista RC-1. Too late, I have been running it for several days already. William

I have installed various versions of the betas. ALL clean installs. ever since pre-RC1 and RC1 i cannot get my WM2003se phone or WM2003se PDA to sync with outlook. I am running Office 2007 Beta 2 and it has worked in the past. anyone syncing with RC1? Dave P

I know this is a stupid question, but I tried to download the Vista RC-1 tonight on my Windows xp partition using the download manager, but the file downloads a 907 kb file. I tried to download the browser version through IE 7 Beta 3. It said the x86 version was like 2.5 GB so I tried to download it. 3 Hours later it was frozen. 0% download progress. The system wasn't frozen though, neighter...

I have successfully downloaded, installed and seem to have only limited problems with RC1. So I have two questions: 1: I am unable to install my ATI disk, getting the following error G:\install\setup.exe ups system denied access to the specified file...then another screen comes up stating that Autoplay menu 3.0 Runtime has stopped working and of course checking for problem and resolved in...

I installed Windows Vista RC1 on the computer, but am not able to go on Internet except for one site.: www.microsoft.com, but noting else even with link on that site...! Could any one have an idea about that. Sincerely; Jean-Pierre

This system is coming along pretty well I'd say, plenty of stuff now works better than in Beta 2/XP. Pretty much every issue I had pointed out about Beta 2 has been fixed and even some of the annoying issues that I didn't point out, like the problems with Hotmail and IE7b3, as well as problems with Napster that would've freaked people out who werent accustomed to beta software. Programmers...

I just received my CPP email, product key and balance of info. I've already installed and activated on my primary desktop, but need to load RC1 onto several additional computers (5) for testing with Office 2007 Beta. How many are allowed? I've seen posts on several sites stating up to 10. Thanks in advance. John

The Windows Vista audio diagnostic and installation guide (Your best bet is to go with on board audio if you have it) First we will disable UAP (I found this out on my own. Everyone says to do it, but never explains how, so I will)

I have just installed RC1 and everything works great, except my sound. I have never had a problem out of it, even with the Beta 2, but with the new RC1 I cannot get 5.1 to work. Iv tried the auto-update that came with RC1 and it would not allow me to open or setup my speaker configuration in any way through Realtek's suplied menus and options, but I can go through the Playback Devices option...

Does anyone know if we can load RC1 over pre RC1? Thanks M. Trussell

I have downloaded the RC1 file twice on this Vista Beta 2 computer. The download manager seemed to work normally and checked the integrity after the download and stated it was finished. But I cannot seem to find either of the downloaded files, which I put in different areas. The second download asked if I wanted to overwrite the first, so I changed the download location so it would...
