I was so having the same problem with that build, and not much helped it. Mine would pixilate slow down and crash the system. The New build Pre RC fixed it. for me. I have not seen that pixilation yet, but still get a lot of cpu on some videos. Just hold on a little bit longer, It is worth the wait. iam

That speaker mute when headphones are detected works with my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. But it's not done by the Windows mixer. Rather the Creative AudioConsole's setting to Mute Speakers When Headphones are attached. That kind of thing probably needs manufacturer software to work. It's a whole new Audio concept in Vista. Even with the updated Creative drivers for Vista Beta 2 my mixers...

Just installed Vista 5536. Strange problem occurs when I try to play any kind of music files in Vista. Both Media player and Itunes play the files but the whole system freezes after a while (20 to 30 seconds). Any suggestions? previous build I was using was 5472 and no such problem happened.

Is there a way (registry hack maybe?) to stop Windows Explorer from creating the thumbnails for video files? I know I can select the option to "Always show icons, never thumbnails", but that will also remove the image thumbs. What I'm looking for is a XP-like operation.

Chris I'm also having similar problems on build 5536 of Vista Ultimate: 1. No caching. Performance miserable. Especially with 200gig+ of mpeg4-asp avi's that it wants to thumbnail and generally bring my sys to a grinding death. 2. Every time I want to optimise the 360 using the optimise within settings, the 360 gets disconnected and nothing appears to happen. 3. Really, WMV and mpeg1/2...

Does your camcorder only have a USB connection, or does it also have 1394 (firewire)? If it has both, the USB is often only for taking files off a memory card and what you want to use is the 1394 connection. "OJ" wrote in message ...

I have what appears as bad interfrence on all of my cable channels with Vista B2. When going back through TV set up and saying I have an antenna instead of the actual cable all of the lower numbered channels come in fine (higher channels don't come in).

my computer doesn't recognize that wmp 11 beta has been downloaded; it won't open and other programs say that i don't have wmp when i know i do.

Now, whenever I try to do any Fixes in Gallery Viewer (like Red eye fixes), I get an error message "Changes to this picture have not been saved because an original can't be created". I have full permissions to the pictures, am a Domain Admin and it's a domain computer, pictures are not read-only. Any ideas?
