So far it's all gone very well except one nagging issue. My media center can no longer record TV and my Zune player keeps throwing out error messages regarding media rights needing to be reset. After checking the event log I confirmed that...

I picked up the Vista Ultimate DVD at the "Heroes" seminar. I'm trying to intstall it on my test machine. The machine has no DVD drive. I tried copying the DVD contents to a secondary partition, but I can't find any .exe files that will run from a dos boot. Is there any way to get Vista install started without a bootable DVD drive? I do have a CD drive on the machine...can I split the DVD into...

I used DreamScene Preview without any problems. I stopped using it for awhile and recently attempted to run it, only to find out that M$ crippled their final release. Preview worked great for me - I'd like to roll Dreamscene back to the functional version that I can use.

OK, here's one. I just received a new Dell D630 notebook that came with a Vista Ultimate upgrade disk, so I went ahead and installed it. Everything went just fine, no problems until I joined the machine to our W2K3 domain.

I have a similar problem. until I read my error logs, I had no idea that on every boot up (for at about a month, BTHIPa64 (or BTHlPa64) and PxHlpa64 are failing to load. There has been no on-screen error warning so I didn't know this was happening. I don't have any Music Match software I can uninstall and a search fails to find the files. Could it be some sort of Malware? --
