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.

    • Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.
    • I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.
    • When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
