Umm, I have managed to get the ethernet controller working on sn25p shuttle which is nf4. It's a bit cluncky, but it works - what I found i have to do is to diabale the adapter after boot, take out the cable, then enable the adapter, then plug the cable back, in that precise order - then it works.

The arrangement I am using is daisy chaining the vista box to another PC that's on a home LAN an dbridging the ethernet port to a homepna connection on the other (non-vista) box. On the non-vista box, the ethernet port is strangely reported as having no connection, so the whole thing is pretty screwed up, but it works so go figure...

The most surpriceing thing about this beta is that it's more compatible than Windows XP x64.

In x64 theres a lot of problem, and 50% of the software does not work properly - so far most software seems to work fine in Vista x32. I though Vista was supposed to be a completely new platform?

My impression is that this OS is little more than Xp with added features / functionality rather than an actually new core OS, so it's not surprising that XP apps and drivers work OK.

I had the same problem.  What I did was this: Download the Ultra100 Windows Drivers, and extract the WinXP drivers (ultra.cat, ultra.sys, and ultra.inf) and put them on a floppy or burn them to a cdr.  Then boot from your Vista DVD (when I tried to install from XP I'd get the BSOD whenever it would restart the computer, so try booting from DVD instead).  Once you get to the setup screen that asks where you want to install Vista, look for the load driver button and click it.  This is when you'll pop in your floppy or cdr that has the promise drivers on it.  It'll then search for them and once it finds them it'll install them and then show your drives and let you select where to install the OS.

I've been trying to get my access setup for the betanews groups without success, and I've been having problems getting my SATA driver loading during setup. This is exactly the infomation I was looking for. I'll be able to translate what you did for your controller to mine. Neowin does come up with the goods at times!! :)

I also have that exact problem :cry: no idea whats wrong as everything is fine in XP and as far as i can tell is setup the same

Did anyone have any driver related issues with an ATI Radeon 9600, or a Creative Labs Sound Blaster live 5.1. It looks like it isn't seeing the hardware or when the install tries to install the driver it says it can't find the appropriate hardware. I checked the IRQ settings on an off chance but they were all good under XP. Also anyone having issues with Open GL or Direct X I tried a few games after trying some other apps and the graphics were choppy (Probably because of the driver issue for the Graphics Card)

You have to have the LDDM driver for your graphics card... or you can download TweakVista by going to www.tweakvista.com ;)

Okey, thanks.. I'll try TweakVista :)

So , what you are saying is that the transparent look has not been implemented in Windows Vista yet?

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
