HIS Hightech X1600XT IceQ here, when I try to install the ATI RC1 drivers, they don't stick. The installation goes fine, everything says they worked, but when I reboot my comp, Vista defaults back to the WDDM drivers. With the WDDM drivers, I get strange random flickering (not the whole screen just a few random lines towards the top of the display) whenever I start a program that uses the...

I loaded Vista Ultimate 64 bit as a clean installation on a new computer using a DVD. The installation seemed to go well. Immediately afterward, the computer was connected to the internet and all seemed fine. Then I put my monitor disc in the DVD drive to install its drivers, features and user’s guide. The computer did not recognize the new disc in the DVD drive automatically, and so I...

Recently I purchased a 300GB ATA/100 internal hard drive, but when I installed the drive, the Vista RC1 only recognized 137GB of it, what can I do to get my full capacity of my hard drive? Does Windows Vista RC1 support 48-bit logical block addressing?

this comment was created for anyone having the same problem as me. If you are using a Linksys Wireless Adapter product (it does not matter which one), you Will NOT BE ABLE TO GO WIRELESS using the 64BIT OS, this is under no Circumstances! this is a LINKSYS problem, PLEASE do not be so NAIVE, and blame this on Microsoft, if microsoft does come out with a fix for this good for them. But...

Well, I hope HP gets on the ball and puts out updated drivers that work with Vista on their All in One Photosmart 2570.

Hi, im having trouble with my dvd drive. when i try to load up a program that requires a CD to boot up, it asks me to insert the cd, even when the correct cd is in the drive. when i go to my computer, it has a big blue ? over my D: when i try to double click it, it gives me this error: D:\ refers to a location that is unavailable.

Hi, the creative drivers for my Audigy 2 works fine under pre-rc1 but not under RC1 I'm using RC1 x64 version versus x32 for the pre-rc1 release. anyone as the same issue?

FYI: I used the SB24_WEB64_LB_1_04_0055.exe dnload for Win XP to get two speaker sound for my Sound Blaster 24 bit Live in RC1 build 5728. Note that I installed it via the "Run as Administrator" option. URL for...

Help...I just installed RC1 and I noticed when I check my hard drive capacity that it keeps dropping .1 gigabytes every so often. Any one else have this problem?

Since going to 5728 and updating the router's firmware, if I use the configuration wizard as I normally do then I can only connect to the internet using XP but not Vista. I have to keep clicking the factiry reset button to get Vista to connect! I have hi-speed cable - modem -DI624 - Intel Pro/100VE Lan adapter. I cannot for the life of me tell which setting(s) is causing it. If it's any use to...

Has anyone tried these drivers yet? I am currently downloading them at a measly 5KB/s! I tried the previous version but ended up with no sound at all and messages telling me they weren't proper Vista drivers. I couldn't uninstall them, so I had to resort to a system restore point. I am creating one right now! (just in case...) I have Onboard sound AC97 SiS963 ALC650.

I have searched but can't find the post with the link to Wacom's beta drivers for Vista. I have checked the Wacom site but each time I select Vista they don't find any beta driver but will send details when they have the actual driver. I would like to try a small GT with Vista and know someone had a link to the driver, grateful if anyone knows this link for the best driver to install, thanks.

I have a linksys network adapter that nneds drivers for Vista. Installation told me to go to wundows update but the network adapt.er is my internet connection. Can someone point me in the right direction? Ernst.

What are Vista’s hardware sweet spots? I mean, what the amount of RAM, Processor speed, hard drive speed & video card to efficiently run a business, enterprise or ultimate Version of Vista in a business environment without breaking the bank? If not, do you know where I can find this information? I have Microsoft's Hardware requirements, but I think Microsoft is doing what it has done in the...

Is there a HCL out there for Vista?

Ok it says that the Vista inspect doesn't like the driver for my 1200A IDE Raid card from adaptec, since this is function under XP SP2 will this create a problem with Vista RC-1? I would hate to have it half installed and then turn all my hard disk to a waste land :) Oh yes and is the 2940 UW supported, if it is then the Upgrade Advisor is detecting my 2940UW from Adaptec's driver isn't...

I recently had a hard drive crash, tried to reinstall Windows XP, got into a muddle and the computer went to a shop where they reinstalled Windows again with drivers. It still didn't work and we bought a new computer. I had backed up my files to CD but they were unreadable when I tried to put them on the new machine. I am resigned to losing them now. I have put the old hard drive into a...

Ok, just recently upgraded (fresh install) from beta 2 to RC1. Now when I try to setup a sync partnership with my PDA (a XV6700 WM5), it is only allowing me to setup a media player sync not my normal device sync. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi all, I also have the no display after boot problem, i'm running RC1 on a 1.7GH'z Celeron Laptop, with 1GB Memory, for the most, it runs very well, system spec concidering. however, i do NOT have an nVidia card, like most people thatseem to have this error, I have a sis 650 chipset running an sis 315 graphics, using the drivers from Microsoft. where this gets interesting, is, if i boot...
