No product key was given to me at link for first 100,000? by
JonnyBlaze
I frequent the site hardocp.com. One of their news articles directed readers
to microsoft's site to be one of the first 100,000 people to download the new
beta. I proceeded to the site, I downloaded the iso. I found it very odd,
at the time that no key was found nor did it mention it. I concluded that
maybe a key just wasn't necessary for the beta. I burned the iso, rebooted,...

The Product ID (PID) is not the Product Key. There is nothing on the
Welcome Center/More Details that reveals the Product Key or permits
requesting a new one. There is a link for entering a new Product Key if the
user has received one.

Product Key not given in e-mail?? by
dougwesson
I have read messages in this forum for product keys given in e-mails from
Microsoft after downloading Vista. I have never received any e-mails from
Microsoft containing the product key. I just downloaded the RC1 DVD from the
website then installed the OS. It asked for a key, but I never got one. Do I
have to send them 10$ or is their a way to find out if the product key got

install with xp media center keyboard by
Sihaz
interesting glitch here - tried installing pre-rc1 on my media center which
has the official remote keyboard from ms (the one with the built in track
pad thingy and works via the ir box). it's not recognised by the install
routine so you have to plug in a normal keyboard while installing....... ho

WAIK for Vista? by
RJ
Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK)
Where or where can one get the WAIK for Vista (BETA 2 and/or RC1)?
MS's Vista site for Deployment has all kinds of info about it, except where
to actually get it (unless you are a corporate customer - what about small businesses,
educational institutions, etc.?).
Does anyone know?

SendTo folder by
JCO
Running Vista 32 (Pre-RC1)
How do I access this folder? I typically put other shortcuts in this folder
so that I can right click a file and send it to the destination that I have
customized. This was working for the previous release. After upgrading to
RC1, I get an error telling me that this folder does not exist.
I've tried logging in as Administrator, but get the same results.
Thanks

Can't install Vista by
Valery
There is another way if you want to do clean install:
Go to FSC web-site (support/download) and download RAID driver into a Flash
Drive. During install use "load drivers" button to load a disk driver from
your Flash. The disk should appear. Proceed as instructed with your
installation.
Worked for me :-)

LCD Monitor Refresh Rate Problem by
Zak Humphries
Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can help. I am unable to set my widescreen monitor to
1680x1050, the option is available but only with a refresh rate of 75Hz
which it cant do. At lower resolutions the 60Hz option shows up. I have
tried this with both the microsoft driver, and the nvidia driver, also with
the generic plug and play monitor, and a windows xp inf for my monitor. Any
ideas?
Cheers

The Hash code agrees with the one displayed by MS.

I created do the same thing. The "Collecting Information"
