I installed a download of Windows Vista Release Candidate 1, using my Windows Vista Beta 2 CPP Product Key. A link appeared on one of the properties pages stating "Automatic Activation in 3 days." Today, my copy of RC1 automatically activated itself over the Internet. RC1 works much better than Beta 2. What a concept - automatic activation of software that works better than its...

"Ted F" wrote in message ... I have been playing around with Vista Build 5532 - to - Vista Build RC1 5600. At first, it was a little painful with both builds, but, I got it to work. There are a few minor bugs but, I bet when the retail version is released some to all problems will be fixed. Most software(s) out...

In Vista IIS 7 ( Internet Information Server ) is said to be included (control panel- programs - turn Windows fetures on or off ) This is a full webserver for HTTP FTP NNTP Mails and the like.. I haven't tested yet, but IIS always included also a Mailserver on NT/2000 and XP-so should Vista do.

When I try to copy a word document from vista to a ppc (axim30), I get the message: �The file may be copied to the device for storage or transport only. It is not supported for use on the device itself.� This holds for word documents created in word2007 (beta) as well as in word2003. What has to be done to copy word documents for use on the device? Thanks in advance, Gerhard

Has anyone gotten a Linux distro's GRUB bootloader (Ubuntu or related would help me in particular) to load Vista RC1? I am having zero luck on Pre-RC1 so I thought I'd ask.

Ok I'm running the 64bit version of Vista. I downloaded the iso TWICE now and no matter how I look I can,t find the file. I changed the folder options to show hidden and sys files and used admin privs to search and no luck. I do have another copy Iburned with my other XP machine but I need to find and remove the 2 iso's that are on the test machine because the 7 gigs they are hiding are eating...

On my machine, when I tell the sidebar to be always on top, maximized windows go up to the left side of the sidebar and stop. (assumes sidebar is default right side of screen). Now follow these steps 1.) you bring a maxed window out of the task bar (outlook for example), 2.) get properties on sidebar and clear the always on top box 3.) when you click apply the maxed window takes up the whole...

I am a CPP participant and have been using Beta 2 I have not received an email about RC1. Can I get one, please?

I've been unable to install Vista; one of very many as I've discovered, since browsing this discussion group. Couldn't do an upgrade from XP because it ws installed on FAT32. Surely many, many users will be on FAT32, so why not allow an upgrade from this file system? Since a clean install was the only option, I tried this but got the error: 'An error occurred whilst ensuring that your...

I am running Build 5384 on a 2.8 Ghz computer with 1GB RAM. My hard disk (40 GB, 10 GB free) never stops - something constantly happens there, even after having left it on overnight. Any ideas what that might be?

I have installed RC1 and Office 2003 on a virtual machine. When Outlook tries to connect to the Exchange server, it first displays a general "Outlook could not log you on ...." message, and when I click OK, it says "The name could not be resolved. The action could not be completed.". I can ping the server. If I enter the server's IP address, it fails with the same error.

I have tried to download vista RC1 several times and keep getting the same error at 98, 99 and even 100%. this is very fustraiting and i would like to know if anyone knows why this happens or if there is a better way or download manager to use.

Vista build 5600 64 Bit/32 bit too- installs fine with one exception. My Nvidia PNY 256 MB PCI Express card only runs in 4 bit color! Yet, with both versions of Win XP 32 bit and 64 bit it works fine. I'm perplexed. In 'My Computer' Vista tells me 'not enough resouces to run, device disbled, unable to load drivers. Apparently Vista does not have the ability to assign Motherboard resources...
