Hi, Namely, in IE7 it is impossible to drag a link from a page to the address bar! This is quite useful for example when I know that the link will take open in a new window, but I want it to open in the existing one, simply by dragging a link from a page to the address bar in IE6 does the trick, IE7 does not support it.

I hope Microsoft will release a new downloadable RC1 with bugfixes and new drivers so people who have trouble installing Vista now can try it again. I think the bigest problem why people can't install it right now (like myself) is that the drivers aren't compatible, still in beta or not available yet. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the...

Anyone have any luck getting Rhapsody working? Vista says it 's blocked due to compatability issues, wondering if it's possible to get it going before Real releases a post Vista RTM version. -Mike

I have a Sony PSP (the US version) running Firmware 2.81. I would like to transfer content on my computer to it. For music and photos, there's no issue - I can drag and drop. For movies, however, I need to convert assorted files - AVI files chiefly among them - into MPEG4 files. Unfortunately, none of the three programs I would use for this work on Vista RC1: Nero 6 won't install (it's...

Please help, in testing vista RC1 on our AD domain, when connected, accessing any network resource causes Vista to become unstable and it throws a critical error and must restart. If I take it off the network, it is fine other than its own programs crashing here and there. This is a clean install and we have tried it pre staged in AD and not prestaged. We have installed this on multiple...

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....

Hi, I have just noticed that the CPP program is now open again and the download size is quoted as being 3GB for the 32 bit version and 4GB for 64 bit. Does anyone know why when I downloaded RC1 as I was an original CPP participant the download was 2.52GB for 32 bit and 3.5GB for 64 bit. Am I missing something and have to download again?

just installed the Vista pre-rc1 build 5536 Home edition (went suprisingly well) and was wondering will this evaluation expire? why has Microsoft ended the downloading of hotmail accounts? the security features drive me nuts but getting used to it .-( (left eyeball does not work well) using the Microsoft Office 2007 beta 2 on my XP Home but should I install it on Vista and can I use the...

To: CH I have not been able to install Vista because B2TR has curropted my machine. And they suggested I manually uninstall 2007 Office Beta. Where can I find that uninstall procedure? Thank You. lynmar

I skimmed through a number of posts in this forum, but didn't find any helpful posts thus far. I downloaded the Microsoft Windows Vista Prerelease Candidate 1 from the official Microsoft website, but am not able to find a activation code for it. No code was emailed to me either. I've already written a number of beta client feedbacks to try and help make the product better, but without a...

I'm not impressed with the new Windows Explorer that is on Vista. However, if there is a way to get rid of the Favorites, that is displayed on the right side with the folders, that would help me. I do not find this useful and would rather get rid of the favoites if possible. Thanks

Page hanging (partial or no load) at http://adobe.com and a handful of other sites, using the SeaMonkey browser (same parent as Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox). I.E. has no problem with those sites. The very same hardware runs XP, and SeaMonkey performs normally there. Anyone noticed similar with Vista and Gecko-based browsers?

I just installed windows vista RC1, & the install went fine, then I restarted to load xp & I noticed that the vista install isn't on the boot manager, I installed it on a different partition but for some reason it won't show up. can anyone help with this? i think it's fixable by using BCDedit but I can't get it to run on XP, the command window opens then closes

Does any one know how much space windows Vista uses please. Thanks B.Phoenix

I tried to install RC1 on my Acer notebook. On the first attempt all was fine and my HD was detected. But I didn't want the Acer restore hidden partition (3GB), so I deleted it (I have a Ghost backup btw) So I rebooted, and now I can't create a partition, no 'controller detected'?

Question: I don't have a media center pc but now that I have Vista, I want to use it as one. Where can I get the IR blaster and the remote control? I have an external Hauppauge WinTV already but the blaster I have is not recognized in Media Center. I'm assuming you can just go to Microsoft and purchase these things, but someone please point me in the right direction! Thanks!
