try to reinstall vga drivers and download some for vista, both ati and nvidia have beta drivers for vista...hope it will help, its weird problem :wacko:

[MrCobra]

You definately cannot use this as a main system, no way.

That's why it's called BETA software.

you have to disable some unnecesary services and Vista have a lot :pinch:

[Xav]

Thanks!  I'll burn a new copy and try now.

Don't unpack the ISO, that stops it booting.

Just burn at 1x if you're really paranoid about it...

Got it working and I'm happy to say that I am typing this reply from within Vista!!

Seems like everyone have this issue with their sound cards... I have an Audigy 2 Value with same problem. Weird that theres no driver included in Vista...

Audio support is limited in Beta 1, the audio will be properly supported for most cards in Beta 2 (this is according to Microsoft via the beta newsgroups)

Has anyone figuered out how to uninstall it? Like, disable the new bootloader etc?

[Peter McGrath]

Can anyone please tell me what Anti-Virus & Firewall programs work with Vista Beta 1? I've tried to install Norton Internet Security 2005 (Compatibility Mode) and it dosen't lik it.

I's there a system restore like XP???

Thanks in advance.

SAV 10 works fine, and system restore is still there (although it was one of the first things I tuned off...

Ive been playing with Vista for the last day with saxondale. (did another all nighter last night), i must say it looks ace with the glass effects, really impressed by the concept.

There are a few of noticeable bugs, nothing that would make me stop using it as a primary os, my wireless lan works (Belkin 802.11b USB Adapter).

Ive yet to test it with a few games and benchmarks

[Hurmoth]

start it up and then go for the services, have a look at "Windows Audio" and see if it is "Starting...".

If so it's your audio driver, Now if your running on the nforce 2 chipset install these drivers:-

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/standalone/6.39/

That's what worked for me. :D

I have looked through all pages, but cant find anyone mention some cd-cover art for Vista. Anyone know where I can find it?

Nope, Windows Audio stated that it was "Started" :(

[devn00b]

The system is quite usable for me although it did freeze a couple times.

I haven't figured out how to run AOL Instant Messenger on it. Any work-arounds?

Try using Gaim or trillian.
