I tried to install Vista RC1 on a machine that previously had Vista Beta2 installed on it. I downloaded the iso file and burned it to DVD with two different programs, Roxio and Nero. With both DVDs the installation terminated with the following error: The installation was canceled Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and...

I have tried multiple times to install Vista RC1 on a machine that previously had Vista Beta 2. I downloaded the iso file and burned it to a DVD twice, once using Roxio and once using Nero. Neither disk will install. The message I get when the installation terminates is: The installation was canceled Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are...

Ok, I had Vista RC1 isntalled on my secondary hard drive, with XP on my C drive. Dual booting. I decided to go with RC1 as my main OS, so I swapped the drives, to make Vista on C and XP on D, and when I formatted the old C drive, i totally forgot like an idiot that the MBR was on that drive, so now i have a Missing boot device... any Vista tools out there that will let me put boot files on...

Since this is a beta test, should I just accept the Vista drivers for my motherboard devices and my video card or should I attempt to force Vista to try to accept the latest drivers released by the hardware or chipset manufacturers? My computer works with the default Vista drivers but I only have 2 channel sound and I don't have many options to adjust my nvidia video card. Should I try to...

Hi, Has anyone noticed how many people are having trouble installing RC1??? Wether as an upgrade to previous releases or as a clean installation (I've tried both ways several times now). For the last day I have been trying to install RC1 without success. Having read through the posts on installation and setup there seems to be an awful lot of people having the same problems as myself. All or...

I am drawing a blank too. Literally. nVidia Ge-Force 6600 with (you guessed it) DVI-I. Beta 2 ran OK on my nV 5200 card. I upgraded to the 6600 and it woulnd't install the new driver. It would still boot in to VGA resolution. Looks like the problem got worse on RC1. Things are supposed to improve, aren't they? Compatibility is a very important thing to most people. I hope MS understands the...

I D/L'ed then burned the RC1 64 bit ISO and installed as an upgrade on my Compaq V2300Z with ML-37 Turion 64 Proc. The install went fine and begins start up (it gets to a black screen with "Windows Vista RC1" and "Build 5600" in the bottom right corner) then it reboots itself. Safe mode with networking and safe mode have the same result. I rolled the install back to Build 5384. Has...
