matasvytautas
Gee, did I make the people who work for Microsoft irrate? Since this is a
beta version it is supposed to have glitches..The XP operating system has
NEVER MODIFIED MY BIOS IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HAVE THE COMPUTER ENTER A PREBOOT
ENVIRONMENT. But why waste time telling you all this....someone else already
helped me get my computer back up and running without being "uppity" about
it. This OS will...

In Vista, the monitor ( in all cases , they are LCD ) will have a blank
display but the backlight will stay on. This is really annoying as i keep on
computer on at night.

Pentium M not stepping down - Heat issues by
Dustyd63
When I installed Vista RC1, I noticed that my Dell Inspiron 8600 ran hot -
the fans are always starting and stopping. Looking at the task manager, I
found the CPU usage negligable, so I looked elsewhere. When I installed
i8kfangui, I noticed that Vista never steps down the CPU to 600 MHZ, so it's
always running at the full 1.7GHz. Has anyone found a fix for this? I'd
like to use Vista...

Pentium M not stepping down - Heat issues by
Dustyd63
I installed Windows Vista last night and am experiencing trouble with getting
the CPU to step down on my 1.7GHz Dell Inspiron 8600. I was wondering why
the fans were running constantly when the task manager didn't have any tasks
actively using the CPU. Upon installing I8kfangui, I noticed that the CPU
wasn't stepping down to 600 MHz like it did in XP. I checked the BIOS
version, and it is...

No external sound since upgrade from Vista Beta 2 (to pre-rc1 - rc by
PierreDa
Hi there,
I use Vista RC1 and installed it without problem. Working fine right now.
I have just a problem with external sound since I upgrade from Vista Beta2
to Pre-RC1 and now from Pre-RC1 to RC1.
As my internal sound and speakers works well, I can't have sound on my jack
where I can connect external speakers or headphones ... NO WAY !!

Rich
I installed Vista RC1 on a HP Compaq NX7000 laptop with a 1.8GHz Intel
Centrino Processor, 512MB of RAM, and 64MB Radeon 9200 video. The chipset is
Intel 852/855. When it got to the part during setup where it asks to create
an icon, user name, and password the screen suddenly went crazy like it was
out of sync. I did manage to get through the rest of setup even though the
display had...

Display settings resetting - RC1 by
Hank Keleher
Thanks for the response!
Yes, I've already been there done that, heheh. In fact every time I reboot
or use an application that mode switches (like the picture viewer in Slide
Show mode for some strange reason) I have to basically go through 16 clicks
start to finish to set the resolution to what I want. You uncheck the "Hide
modes that this monitor cannot display" box and click the adapter...

Acer laptop - filesystem corruption by
Michael
Hello,
I have a 5-months old ACER Travelmate 8104WLMi and after a few hours of use,
of a clean install, the filesystem gets corrupted. Anybody knows of this
issue?
I tried Vista Beta 2 on it, after several hours of use, IE7 couldn't
download a new file and save it to my Documents folder. I started a chkdsk
and it found hundreds or thousands of error at every boot.

Acer Travelmate 8104WLMi - filesystem corruption by
Michael
Hello,
I have a 5-months old Acer Tarvelmate 8104WLMi that's always been running
Windows XP flawlessly. But each time I try a new Vista release (Beta 1, Beta
2, Pre-RC1) the filesystem of the Vista NTFS partition gets corrupted after a
few hours of use.
Anybody knows of that kind of failure? Could it be driver-related?
