Windows Vista Beta 1

Does this give you more eyecandy?

No, it is just the runtime I believe.

One way I found is to go to search, search for something. It gives you the results. Then there is an organize button with a drop down. Click that and say save search. That allows you to create a custom view/virtual folder.

Vista is just showing me search results from the "User" folder. Any way to change that?

Yes it's just the runtime, saying that without it you can't view/run any Avalon apps/docs. There are some examples skattered around the net (or you could develop your own like me!!!) :ninja:

have you tried the beta drivers from ATi?

Yes I grabbed them last night, I was still getting a hardware error. Maybe I'll take that card out and put in an old TI4400 or something. I bypassed the Sound card problem by disabling the multimedia device and then enabling my Mboard Sounddevices in the Bios.

Nvidia 32-bit LDDM drivers:

Now you can have glass on your 6xxx and 7xxx card.

Oh sorry i thought you had a different one.

I'm not sure if indexing is getting all my files. It ends up with 380 each and every time I click "Rebuild."

Search doesn't work very well either. I have to go to the command line and type: "dir /s filename.xxx" to find anything.

Grr...still can't get Glass to work on my 9700 pro. I've installed the beta drivers from ATI, tried TweakVista (crap), done the registry tweaks, even installed the AGP drivers for my SiS chipset. Still nothing. Anyone else having this problem with the 9700 Pro? Everything seems to be running very sluggish also, in regards to display.

My bbati 9700 Pro at home worked "Out of the box" without the new Ati driver.

Rumor has it that the 5xxx cards work fine.

Have you got an Nforce board per chance?

Could someone please tell me how big his Vista Beta installation is?

I mean the size of the OS after the installation.

I'm doing some testing and need this info to make partitions.

Hmm...for me it went to the users folder, with my name defaulted, but then it was selecting the virtual folder...post a screenie

The ONLY way to get glass (AFAIK) is to use an LDDM certified drivers. Use the newest ATI beta Vista drivers, and select the LDDM (5th one down I think). Should work fine...

Well, I have spent at least 18 hours on trying to install it on my laptop and It just will not work. Oh well. I could install it on my desktop but, I seriously do not want to change what I have set up, way too much of my work. All my hardware I have double checked to make sure it is supported only thing I am not sure about is my Intel Pro Wireless 2200 pci. I am seriously upset and frustrated at this.

I have no idea what the issue is, all my hardware is supported I even logged in and redownloaded the ISO thinking it may have been a bad burn or download.
