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.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
