Having issues hooking up a network connection to my Netgear Wireless router.

Vista seems to see my wireless network and when i try to connect with the WPA passphrase it says connecting but my router doesnt seem to respond with a valid dhcp address. (ie throws back the old 169.x.x.x IP address)

I then tried a static IP 192.168.1.10 along with 192.168.1.1 as my gateway and when it takes i check by running ipconfig /all and for some reason the default gateway remains blank..... :angry:

I cant get an internet connection........

Has this got something to do with my wireless pci card driver? (WAG311 Netgear)

HELP!!!

Nevermind Its working now Im posting it from Vista and it insanely fast!!

It<s so stable and all my drivers are installed! :laugh:

man... why they sent me that invitation >>>> Microsoft Windows Installer 6.2 Beta Program Invitation

it's Vista.... i want that Vista :devil:

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.

Only took me 45 minutes, which I'm stunned by :blink:

Keep trying, it really is worth it!

Worst case, create a small XP partition, put the ISO image on there with demon tools and install from the image to a second partition like I did, worked first time!

I got it working on VMWare

But I can't install it on my PC!! The progress bar gets up to just past the 2 at the bottom, then I get A file couldnt be found message followed by

"this application has failed to start because TAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

WTF!? Can anyone suggest how I might be able to get this working?

Re-Burn the ISO?

Just got it installed and is working beautifully :D :D

Installed it without a hitch. Got a question though: when I installed it, it created the Windows.old folder with all the old files from the XP, are stuff from that folder still usable?

I havent been following this thread that much...also how do you get the glass/transparent windows?

ummm i get the Aero Glass and all those cool tings on my Old Gforce FX 5200 128MB

should i install those new Nvidia Drivers ??? (faster, better or something...)

I also met this problem!

ai first i only build one subarea ,and windows appeared the message the same as yours!

then i build another subarea,all is OK NOW!

I'm beta tester did anyone know if we will going to have for free the final version of VISTA?  :cool:

That really depends how good a tester you prove to be :)

From Vista B1 first impressions article:

a major change in the way we use our personal computers is coming through Vista
I find that very hard to believe. Still gonna have the start menu, still gonna be throwing all our stuff on the desktop, still gonna be using our computers the same way we have been.

Can i point out please, before i get any more PM's, that Aero Glass will only work on DirectX 9.0c cards - if you can get it working on non dx9, great, if not, thats how it should be.

Finally got around to having sometime to install.

Having a problem when selecting partition. I have 2 HDs, one HD has XP installed and I don't want to install on that as it said it will make that Windows install useless.

So I am trying to select the 2nd drive but it gives a message ::: "The partition you have selected has one or more dynamic volumes that are not supported for Windows installation"

How can I fix this?

Thanks

    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
