OS: Vista Ultimate RC1 Where is the SMTP feature? I don't see this in the list of features to turn on. I see the FTP, SNMP, MSMQ, but no SMTP. Do I have to install this from MS site. I already have IIS installed. Is it included with the install of IIS and if so where is it? -- Eric Miller

I find it shortsighted that you cannot reformat/partition your hard drive and get a TRUE clean install. I want my harddrive wiped!!!! No programs, no viruses. Is there a workaround for this without having to go through the laborious task of reinstalling WindowsXP clean and then upgrading?????

Hi, just an advice if you created the system partition for vista with Acronis DiskDirector 10 - do not. Use WindowsXP to do so. Otherwise (that's what happend to me on two computers now) windows vista will encouter lots of corrupted files and finally destroy itself. I don't know why, but this his what happend on two different systems now. (Windows Vista Business MSDNA-AA)

Problem is it is doing it continuously, normaly when I move the mouse, but also when I open new...

I just upgraded from XP Pro 32 bit to Vista 64bit Ultimate (Upgrade version). Unfortunately, several of my mission critical programs (Adobe Production Studio) will not run on the 64bit OS. My Vista Ultimate upgrade comes with two versions 32 and 64 bit. My question: can I "reinstall" or switch to the 32bit version now to run my programs and then later when the programs become compatible...

IF YOU BOUGHT THE ULTIMATE VERSION OF VISTA ARE YOU AUTHORIZED TO DUAL BOOT THEM ON THE SAME SYSTEM? WILL IT WORK IF YOU HAVE A 64 BIT PROCESSOR? -- GENE

I've been surfing this forum and been looking over the various technical issues and I'm ready for a direct answer for my situation. I just bought Windows Vista Home Premium and am upgrading from XP Home SP2. The installation completes up to 54% of the way through "Completing the Upgrade". At that point, it restarts (for the 4th time during the installation process). When it does restart, I...
