:unsure: I have a Dell Latitude D610 and beta 1 just won't install on it... wonder why?

Files load, and I see the boot screen, but afterwards the screen just goes black and never comes back. :(

The D610 has ability to ship with an X300 PCIe graphics adapter. Per the readme I think this may apply to you, it's not exact but close enough to make one go hmmm:

Display

This note applies only to Windows "Longhorn," not Windows Server "Longhorn."

The graphic device drivers included in Windows "Longhorn" Beta 1 do not support the ATI X700 AGP or X800XL AGP graphics devices. Because the PCI-Express versions of these graphics devices are supported, and the AGP versions have the same device ID, Windows "Longhorn" will attempt to install the PCI-Express version of the driver. This can result in a black display screen on computers with the X700 AGP or the X800XL AGP devices. To work around this problem, start your computer in VGA display mode and install the latest ATI Catalyst XDDM display driver.

err maybe not that is AGP --> PCIe not the other way around.

Continuing the notebook graphics discussion, since I don't have ability to post to betanews yet, anyone else out there able to get full DirectX 9.0c support for the Dell Precision M70? It's adapter is a nVidia QuadroFX 1400 Go PCIe. I am getting DirectX 8.1 when I go to the property sheet of the driver. This is with both the native driver and the updated 77.37 driver. The Dell drivers installed but ended up crashing applet when I accessed it.

I am not getting any of the transparent effects :(. This is a pretty hefty card with 256MB video ram.

Posting this on Vista. :)

Aero transparency and all other affects work on Dell Inspirion 6000 with ATI Mobility Radeon X300. I wasn't sure if it would.

No errors so far...

      You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.

      I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.

      I will never use a crypto browser from a shady company because it has a built in adblocker. I am not that desperate and I do care about the ethics of the browser I use. So a Firefox based browser or Adguard is the way to go. I mean the app, not the MV3 extension combined with Adguard assistant extension for controlling everything directly in my browser. I prefer using a firefox based browser or paying 10 bucks for a lifetime license of Adguard than ending up using shady crypto browsers for an adblocker.
