I am reaching the end of my teather! This is well and truly driving me mad - 4 times now I have tried to download the RC1 and every time something goes wrong. I tried Flashget, which stopped at around 2GB. I tried Firefox, which worked but i stupidly thought the built in manager supported resume, so closed firefox, only to see i'd have to start again, so that's a no go. I've now tried "Free...

Has anyone had any success in installing Motorolla Phone Tools 4.0 drivers (off the disk) on a RC1 32 bit laptop (Dell Inspiron 1405)? Does anyone know a link if one doesn't have the disk where the drivers can be installed? Has anyone had success in using their Motorolla E815 cellphone with Bluetooth synching with RTC1 32 bit laptop?? -- Buddha Bless You

I really like Power DVD on my old XP for playing DVD's--its probably the best program around for that, in my opinion. And before I pay them another 80 bucks, I was wondering if ANYONE has successfully installed the latest Power DVD 7 Deluxe on RC1 64 bit or 32 bit? -- Buddha Bless You

I got a strange problem with Media Center. I had Windows MCE 2005 installed and everything worked fine. After upgrading to Vista I can record videos and play them (as well as the old recordings) in media player; Live TV and watching any video in media center doesn't work. Hauppauge TV Card and ATI Radeon is installed, Vista Certified PC, all hardware has been found correctly by vista....

If I uninstalled a program from Control Panel, and the program didn't uninstall correctly for some cheap error reason, and then deleted the files under Program Files and User Files, etc., but the Cheap ass Britannica still shows in the Control Panel Programs on your System list: How does one get rid of that program in the list AND make sure its removed from all other files on the computer...

I have a MSI K8N diamond plus board with onboard Soundblaster audigy/live24 sound. I installed yesterday the new released drivers form Creative but they don't work. The older drivers I had with beta 2 (also from creative) work fine.

I am receiving this error after install comlpetes and it boots for the first time. I can boot in safe mode, but tells me that it cannot finish installing in safe mode. It has to be a driver or something. I have Vista on a sister PC with some of the same programs wih no issues. Any idea where to start looking?

I am looking to dual boot my system with XP and Vista RC1 with out the Vista boot loader. I installed Vista to a separate HD than my current XP install. When I did the install I disconnected the XP HD so Vista could not see it. I can boot to both Vista and XP by changing the boot drive in my BIOS, which works but is a pain at times. What I am trying to do is load Vista boot manager onto a...

They really need to add a group for third party software

I joined the customer preview program in June and am currently on Vista Beta 2. I keep looking for the email that preview program participants are supposed to get. When I check the Windows Vista website and I click get Windows Vista RC1 and then click the Windows Vista Customer Preview Program. The way the site is worded says that current particpants can download RC1 from a recent email...

I've downloaded the iso file and burned it into a DVD, when I pop in the DVD into my computer I get an error saying the system cannot run that OS and I can't even get the installation/setup to beggin. Any suggestions? Oh by the way I've run the Upgrade Advisor and it says that I can instal the RC1. Does the 32bit and 64bit downloads make any difference?

G'day, I paid to get the Beta 2 CPR sent to me on DVD a few months ago. Will I have to pay to get the CR1 DVD sent to me, or will Microsoft send it to me for free automatically? Cheers Matt

I like to move the taskbar so that it fits exactly over the sidebar (so that's the right side of the screen). I also use auto-hide, so that I don't waste more screen real estate than needed :-). If i now use the start button, the program shortcuts are neatly aligned next to the taskbar, but all the other shortcuts (control panel, my docs,....) are UNDER the taskbar and I can't reach them...
