activation - please don't let this be true by Chris
Hi. I clicked a link on Gizmodo.com today stating that MS is allowing 100k copies of Pre-RC1 Build 5536 to be downloaded. I downloaded just fine and did not see anywhere a place to register or a place to obtain an activation key so I, (foolishly), assumed these copies were somehow marked or tracked to bypass that. Now I get the '14 days to activate' message and I'm at a loss.

NTFS file permission by Jacob Ballard
Try running as a member of Backup Operators. That should give some access reguardless of NTFS permissions. "Christophe" wrote: Hello fellow vis(t)ionaries, I have 3 questions: Recently I installed Windows Vista, like most of us. I didn't had the upgrade option, so I did a full install.

Can't join Domain by Jacob Ballard
I had a problem with that build joining as well. When you enter the user name, i forget exactly which format it wanted but, it was either domain\username or username@domain. That worked for me.

activation by Chris
Hello. I clicked a link on Gizmodo.com today that led me to a page that stated 100k downloads of Pre-RC 1 Build 5536. I downloaded just fine and did not see anywhere a place to register or obtain an activation key. When I installed I bypassed that step, (foolishly), thinking there was some magic or tracked activation voodo in the actual download. Now it looks like I have 14 days to...

uac in pre-rc1 build 5536 by B Barley
Wow, Thanks for listening to us about the annoyances of UAC in the beta 2. There has been marked improvement in this build. However, I've come across a few issues now that I'm using vista more and mo 1. UAC doesn't ask for access sometimes when software needs to make a change. For example, I use Forte Agent 3. Unless I run it as administrator, it hardly works.

Hello All: I successfully upgraded to Build 5565 and was using it without incident for a day or so. Then, I decided to "add" the computer to my SBS network. After I added the PC from my server management console and did the client side work on the Vista PC, it restarted but wouldn't let me log onto the network. In addition, I am no longer able to log on to the PC locally (i.e., without...

Reactivation by greenarow1
When I went to sign in Vista tonight I received a "Your evaluation has expired please reactivate". Okay, since I am already activated can anyone tell me what to do. It gave me 3 options, and neither of them would work. Reenter your Key, reactivate Vista but then I get we are no longer accepting any evaluations, and the 3d choice freezes the screen. Is this a bug? Does this mean I will...

The new Group Policy by Or Tsemah
Hi. From what i've understood, the new Group Policy's MainStore (Sysvol\Domain\Policies\Policydefenitions) should prevent the "Bloating" of the previous GP (creating policy folder for each Account\Machine) But from my personal use with it, the "Bloating" still accour and new folders are created for each computer that i bring into the domain .. Does anyone has a take on this ? Or.

inactive screensaver/vista by Daniel A Galant
I had the same issue after installing Windows Vista RC1. Based on posts in some of the other threads here I decided to try unplugging my USB wireless mouse. Gosh, the screensaver kicked in. Who'd a thunk it. Anyway, I'm guessing you have a wireless mouse? Unplug it. -- Imagine what we could be... if we could just imagine. "bertofcpc" wrote:
