Updated drivers not included in Pre-RC1 by
Angel Massa
When I tested Beta 2 I had a problem with my wifi onboard driver. It was
recognized by Vista but the driver don't work as expected. As I get my
Internet connection from a WiFi network I had to take my desktop PC to a
friend house and connect through the Ethernet LAN.
After getting connection I was glad to see that Windows Update reported an
updated wifi driver for my system. After the update...

check cd hash? by
Beck
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?

Disk usage of 5536 by
Erik Wikström
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...

5536 Image by
M@dhat3rr
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...

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...

Uninstalling Dual Boot program from XP by
Bernarditz
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...

Get rid of dual boot by
Buddha Pest
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.

Is one of these really RC1? by
Kerry Brown
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.

IE will not run by
Burger23
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...
