Wow 5536, I have a page-long of bugs (thusfar) to report to MS. But I have a few questions about the image/disk. For those of you who burned the image, is there a real-mode portion of the installation? I ask because there isn't a option to part and format on the image. I know I could just do it in Computer Mangement, just figured it would be easier to have the option on the disk. Also, where...

I'm wondering how much of the disk the 5536 build takes when installed. I'm running Beta 2 and my Windows directory eats up 7.5GB, which is half the partition on which I've installed it. After installing Visual Studio and Office 2007 (Beta 2) there's not much left for other applications but I have not bothered with expanding the partition yet. I was however hoping that the new build might be...

Since 10 July I have been running Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista build 5384 on a dual boot basis. Both of the relevant partitions are on my fixed HDD (IDE port 0) together with a third partition which is reserved for data only. I also have a "slot-in" caddy on IDE port 1 which enables me to use a number of different HDDs (one at a time of course) for external storage - including offsite...

Hi, my ISP has just sent me a new modem and I am posting to see if anyone else has this modem working okay with Vista. Is seen by device manager as a USB ADSL WAN Adapter, but Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor still tells me that I will need to contact manufacturer, also has it under catagory as a network Adapter??? So if any of you have got this modem working okay with Vista can you let me...

I was browsing the group last night and came across a post which showed an MS tool to check the cd hash of the Vista download. Can't seem to find this post again. Does anybody know please what this tool is? Also what is the hash I should compare it to?

I found a link to download the pre-rc1 vista from MS site but after downloading and installing, vista reports that it is beta 2 build 5384. Been there, done that. How do I get rid of the dual boot? Just delete win vista from the drive? Or do I need to change a config file in addition to deleting vista? Thanks. Oh, I'm using Win Xp-SP2.

I'm surprised. My index rating actually went up from beta 2. I now have a 3.3 instead of a 3.0 Beta 2: CPU: 3.1 RAM: 3.0 HD: 3.7 GPU RAM: 4.3 GPU: 5.9 RC1: CPU: 3.3

http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/93310/Windows_93310.html August 29, 2006 According to my sources, Microsoft plans to finalize Vista RC1 this afternoon. The build, 5568.16384, will ship internally today and will be seeded to customers next week if all goes well. To give you an idea of how momentous an occasion this is, consider that there were more than 825 bugs in the Vista RC1...

http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/prerc1/en/download.html http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/prerc1/en/x86/download.htm I downloaded the first one. Is the second one a different build? The second url says "prerc1" The page itself says RC1 and has both the 32 bit and 64 bit downloads. -- Kerry

Is upgrade from Windws Vista build 5472 to 5536 possible? Thanks for answer in advance!

Hello all How can I change the default shutdown to shutdown and not sleep. When I go to start shutdown the shutdown window comes up defaulted to sleep where do I change this setting. Also I can't change the default home page in IE how do I do this. Thanks

I can not get IE to load under PRE- RC1- it worked fine wuth Beta 2. It appears to be in the setup area. I am using static IP addresses. I changed dynamic to staitc and entered my static ip and dns addresses. Network can be viewed fine. But Internet setup is trying to install a Broadband Dial-up connection, I think-- asking for User ID And Password. I have Comcast and this is not necessary...

P-cillin, AVG, and McAfee seem to be working for most people on 5536. This is a first time phenom for Avast 4 Home for me on Vista X86--I can try other versions and maybe I'll "get luckie" but I tried with Home 4 that they bill on the site for Vista several times and I get the same error. For the first time in a build, I can't install Avast Home for Vista on X86 with a driver not compatible...

Hi , has anyone got the Sagem Fast 800 A3 modem and got it working with this build of Vista? My ISP has sent me this one so no longer using the Speedtouch 330. -- technogran

Hello All, I brought Norwood Radeon 9250, 256MB PCI graphics card. I wonder if it is fully supported by Vista? Yesterday I ran Vista Capable tool, it showed me, this card doesnot support Pixel Shader 2.0. So Aero doesn't work. I wonder, if there is any PCI card (Any Brand) which is capable of getting full features in Vista and should be 256MB of memory.

Yesterday installed the Pre-RC1 version. My overall impression is very possitive and it's a big improvement over beta 2. But I'm very dissapointed with one of the things that thought it will be fixed from beta 2. On Beta 2 when trying to synch my PocketPC with Outloot 2007 I got an error on Mobile Center saying the Outlook it's not configured. This problem affected many PocketPC users and I...

i want vista to try it out, but dont know where register to download it. "Angel Massa" wrote: Microsoft will send you one when you register for the public beta 2. Regards, Angel. can anyone tell me a working Serial Number or tell me where to find one

I am trying to install Windows Live Writer (blog program) and I get an error to say the program requires .NET framework and to download that first. Vista includes the .NET framework. So I downloaded it again and it didn't install as it said .NET already installed. So I tried .NET version 1.1 instead and that did not work either. This is obviously a bug. Has anyone else encountered not being...

Installed 5536 yesterday and am having issues with the media player. Symptoms: When launching the media player after about 6-10 seconds is closes automatically. If you bring up the Tools-Options it will stay open until you close out of the options dialog box then close out of the application after 10 seconds. This was not an issue on this system with build 5384. I have turned off all...
