Hi, I have just tried the 64 bit RC1 and it will not install with my 7950 GX2. I have the new Nvidia RC1 drivers which they say will work with this card. Is there anyway I can slipstream the drivers in the CD or hack vista so it uses a default generic screen driver or something? I though of safe mode but of course the installation is incomplete.

Hello, I've got a beta 2 and serial number, but Microsoft didn't send me an e-mail now. So, how can I get RC1 ? Please help, Wojtek

I get through all of the set up great until the final "Completing Installing Software". At this point it just stalls and stays on for hours. Any suggestions? -- C2

My test machines are not connected to internet. I'd like the report tool to collect all the info, save the report on disk, then I'll send the reports from another PC connected to the net. But the setup of Beta client won't run, because it fails to download FTM from the internet (obviously). Why they won't make the setup self containing? --PA ---------------- This post is a suggestion for...

Does RC1 come with 64-Bit drivers for the Intel D975XBX ICH7-R Matrix Raid? If not: Are the XP x64 drivers compatible?

I have been having this message now during the Pre-RC1 and now the RC1 releases keeping me from finishing my setup to Vista. During the Pre-RC1 I was using a partition on my main drive that had Win XP on it and I planned to dual boot. Tried reinstalling several times with no luck everytime the same error, tried the instal from within XP and also by booting from the CD. Now with the release...

I just downloaded and burned Vista RC1, but the installer won't let me do anything because my computer supposedly doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Funny thing is, I am currently running Beta 2 on the same computer, and it runs fine. Is there any way to trick the installer to skip the system hardware check before installing? Or did I just burn myself a new coaster?

I have a dual boot system with winXP pro and Vista beta2. Both installed on my 120 GB maxtor DM8 S-ata disk attached to my Silicon Image onboard RAID controller on my ASUS A7n8x deluxe rev 2.0 mainboard. I want to install RC1 on the partition with the beta2 installed on it. During the installating I use the same external RAID controller drivers that I used for beta2. It detects my harddrives...

I downloaded the rc1 iso file and since I am running vista beta 2 I have no software which can extract and burn the files to a dvd disc. Also, when I downloaded the file using download manager, I notice file size is 907 bytes or some such small number. I got the impression from MS that the file was huge. What am I doing wrong? In the past I used nero to do this, but nero does not work with...

how many times the cd-key i can used?

I signed up for and downloaded Beta 2, but never recieved a link for RC1. Maybe this is beacuse I only activated Beta 2 yesterday. Could someone at Microsoft get me a download link? Thanks! Martin

I have been running Vista Beta 2 on a separate hard drive in a dual boot configuration with XP without any problems. When I try to upgrade to RC1 I get an error message that says, "Cannot locate the partition for installing windows" and the system does a rollback. This occurs after files are copied, gathered, etc. and I have received the same error message whether I choose to upgrade or...
