Windows Vista Beta 1

[notuptome2004]

Well, found something ...

@echo off
cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\
start rundll32.exe udwm.dll DwmClientStartup
exit 

Those commands put in a batch file should enable DWM ... gonna try it out in a minute (have to reboot)

Same here, UXSS does not do anything. My MSI nVidia 6600GT is not giving me any of the cute glass effect. :( Guess we all have to wait until Beta 2 (december).

Vista is nice to look and is fast however as with all betas let the bug reports begin.

Anybody out there with a setup close to mine don't install your nforce2 drivers it will break aero.

Also i've noticed that directsound is screwed or is not finished. Foobar will not play at all even in waveOut and wmp has a hell of time playing an mp3.

Tweak Vista is not working with the x86-64 edition of Vista.... At least for me.

No .NET Framework for x86-64????

[P!P]

After using Vista for several hours, I've got to say everything is pretty good. I had some install issues which were mostly my fault. It's fast, some cool new features. But I'm really looking forward to Beta 2 as many are. If you like, for example, at the early builds of XP and the later and final builds, the difference is almost night and day. I think Beta 1 is a good start, nothing too special, but I think it's a great platform to build on.

Thanks for the updates regarding TweakVista and the batch file. I've updated my blogw with that information. I knew TweakVista was planning to address this, but I didn't know they had released it already! Good job for them. Anyway, if you can't run TweakVista, try the batch file, that should still work. Anyway, I'm off to work for a while (10 hours :s). Once I get home I'll look more into all of this and do some more testing on certain things then do updates on my blog. Keep an eye out there for any new "hacks" to LH :)

Hummm saxondale.'s version was corrupt for some reason, a DLL was constantly missing

[srizo]

tweakvista gives me an error about some dll...

Anyone using Vista on a laptop? I have the latop in a docking station, and typically output the notebooks display to an external monitor, with the Function+F4 keystroke. Looks like that keystroke is now gone.

Manually configuring the displays I can get it to output something on display 2, *only* if extend desktop is enabled.

Anyone else see this?

What does Vista look like if you disable the glass borders?

[mysiskatten]

does Vista beta 1 support my SATA disks..

I mean on XP I must load my SATA drivers from a floppy (XP don?t find any drive to install on if i dont do that)...

If not will I have the option to load my drivers from floppy and will they work on Vista?

Driver is Sil 3512 SATA Raid Controller (Ihave a shuttle Barebone ST61G4).

My 2 question is there a list of supported GPU that suppor the new windows mannager?

I know the downloads are up, but anyone received the "Offical" Beta CD from Microsoft as yet?

Is Vista Beta 64 bit?

Is Vista Beta 64 bit?

586285171[/snapback]

32 and 64 bit

[Koolslacker]

If I am not mistaken, Vista gives you choice to install 32 bit or 64 bit during installation?
