: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.

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...

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
