Windows Vista Beta 1

Well, I give up. I can't get it to install on my laptop for anything. I even deleted the entire hardrive so it was blank. Still freezes at the same point when I boot off the DVD.

How flexible is the installation process? Have you been given any indication that a network-install is possible?

[AgEnTsMiTh]

Nope no indication. Like I said, I cant get past the Longhorn Boot screen. I do not get to any point that I can interact at all. When I try to do the install in XP, I tell it to install on the 2nd partition, It installs everything on my XP drive and after reboot, freezes again. I am seriously frustrated.

Has anyone had any problems with decreased internet speed on vista?

I have high speed broadband but on vista it is like 26k.

Internet is practically impossible.

I looked to see if my intel pro wireless 2200 was supported and I do not see it on the list. I would think it would be seeing as how common it is but, mabey that is causing an issue I dont know. Everything else I have hardware wise is supported.

bad drivers i reckon

[0sit0]

is there a way to enable DWM even if the card is not supported like in older builds?

[NeoXY]

man oh man...I just got the download from Connect and now I got this 2GB image sitting on my desktop, I'm looking at it and I'm REALLY just wondering if I should even give this beta a run for its money. So far (And I've read this thread from page 1) only 3 people out of all that have installed Beta 1 have it running nice. I really don't know If I should install this...

And again, anyone sense the irony?. 50% of that image are drivers and yet, we have people complaning every second about the lack of support..:rofl:

sigh...maybe I shoud sleep on this..

[Felinix_Devotion]
