What are the required specs of your system to install it?

Mine:

Pentium 4 1.8 GHz processor

256 MB memory

Free Space: 11 GB

How big does the partition have to be?

I also have an unopened 225 BG harddrive package that I can install if there isn't enough space.

Would Beta 1 kill my system? I am not all that concerned about speed because i know that my comp is slow enough. I'm more going for functionality. :)

And yes, I do have a subscription.

Yeah, I'm having major issues (again).  I have Intel Graphics 3D 845 and the graphics are all 4 bit and it's 600x400.  When I installed XP I had to download and install the drivers but it's not letting me because of the new OS.  Any help?

Of course the graphics are low color and low res.

You have a video card that is way WAY WAY below the minimum required for vista video cards. You will never be able to use that card in Vista. It simply can not handle the Vista video requirements.

Upgrade to a real graphics card. That's your only solution.

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...

Sigh ... Are you gonna explain how you got that flashy DX desktop? Because it's not even in this beta.

What? It's only 2 years old but a crappy card at that. I'm trying something but if it doesn't work I'm giving up.

I have it sort of working. I got it to full color. Web sites look great but the text in Windows itself it messed up. I realized it didn't quite install the right driver but close. I'm trying to change it.

Everyone seems to have no trouble with installing...am I the only one that cant get past the bootmanager?!

No, your not the only one. I am having issues on my laptop. I boot from cd, get the loading windows dialog, then the longhorn loading screen and the it just stops doing anything. Must not like my hardware or it may not like my 2nd partition. I have no clue.

Its a newer laptop too. P4 2.8 1 gig of ddr400 80 gig hard drive and a ATI 9600 128mb mobile and integrated wireless. No idea what the issue is.

You need a video card that can support DirectX9.

I'm running it on a fairly high end pc ... click on the 'specs' link in my signature ... And dxdiag tells me I have DX9c installed ...

Still haven't found out how to enable that new desktop ...

I have tried Vista Beta 1 and Longhorn Server...both get stuck after the second reboot at the bootmanager...it doesnt even show the boot screen

Still haven't found out how to enable that new desktop ...

Run: uxss

(if it's like in the 5048....)

How are you all downloading it so quickly? The quickest i've found is 16 kbps
Well i'm just getting 38K ATM... not inpressive... :unsure:

EDIT2: 56K :D

I just had a look at the Display Drivers with LDDM Support listing and Aeolus 6800GT-DV256 is not listed as far as I can see. However I could be wrong since it requires you to look at the Dxdiag output file and match it.

Have a go with it and see if it's on the list or not.

*sigh* to finally answer your annoying question. That desktop will be available in Beta 2, you gotta do it with Aero right now...

And, damn that installation takes long, I downloaded it last night and woke up to install it this morning but it's progressing REALLY slow.

    • I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1. Bloated Session Logs (The Silent Killer). For 2-4 and more inluding the suggested fixes, see link https://marceloretana.com/blog...aude-code-eats-all-your-ram
    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
    • Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD. 
    • One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
    • It does just not OneCloud. 🤷🏻‍♂️
