I keep getting fatal error in the download manager after 10 hours at 93%

I was unable to locate a Vista driver for my Texas Instruments FlashMedia Controller so I installed the XP driver I had. I was surprised that I didn't get a warning about it being an unsigned driver. It works ok, so I guess all is well.

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

Curious If I boot up using the old Win98 boot disk (which has Win98 Scandisk), will it work on Vista 32 and Vista 64.

I'm just wondering where my problem reports go when I've marked them "Public". -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2 X 2 + Vista Beta 5536

After installing 5536 it would refuse the installation of: - Kaspersky (v6) - BitDefender (v8) - AntiVir (v7) - Avast (v?, but pretty recent)

Hello All, If you are having trouble downloading pre-RC1 here are some things that you can do to get it to download. 1. Clear all cookies, temporary internet files 2. Run disk cleanup to clear all temporary folders 3. Try downloading without the download manager (it goes slower..I know..but at least you will have pre-RC1) 4. If you want to use a download manager I recommend Free Download...

I have spent 15 hrs downloading build 5536 I let it go overnight. In the morning the download manager was at 100% but the file was not in the location I specified to save it at, I searched my entire pc for the file, It was nowhere to be found is there anyway to find it It was downloaded so it must be there somewhere ! FYI I'm using build 5384

Hello, My current system contains an Adaptec U320 SCSI (ASC-29320A) RAID 0 Configuration. I have not found any support for this interface card or any U320 SCSI controller cards (I would be willing to switch). Are any supported that anyone is aware of or are there any drivers for Vista that are available somewhere? I have contacted Adaptec... but they were very rude and non-helpful. Thank...
