Install starts fine but then  get "An error occured while copying files" and  "Unable to find TAPI32.dll". Should I burn it again or is this an issue?

You could just try mounting the ISO using daemon tools or Alcohol 120%

It would be possible, but why use it as a primary os? Just have a dual boot with XP :).

I just thought it would be the cleanest, easiest way to do it since I'm reformatting in a few days anyways... So I can do it this way right?

but wahts this dual boot thing?

When will there be a beta that will let you udgrade

Windows Vista Beta 2 will be letting you upgrade from xp. Beta 2 is also rumored to be shared with the public, so maybe Microsoft will distribute it on their website? Who knows. It's possible

Basically, if you install 2 OS's, XP on partition 1 and Vista on your second for example, it will ask you on boot what OS you want to load.

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?

I've got AOL instant messenger 5.9 and it fails to install. It just hangs while copying file image32.dll on my Dell GX280. Tried on my AMD 64 and it worked fine...

A Bug for sure. I guess MS and AOL both need to work on it. :D

Yea my brother has a Gateway 700GR, which is P4 3.4GHz Prescott, 1GB PC3200, 36GB 10,000RPM Raptor, 250GB 7200RPM WD. When he tried to install Vista on his computer, it just kept restarting after the blue screen which said "installing..." And then after it restarts, it goes back to the blue screen... and keeps doing it over and over again.

Did he download a bad ISO file? His SATA150 do not need drivers because they are native to the south bridge. When installing XP, he does not need to load drivers, therefore, there should be no need to install drivers for Vista. So any ideas?

Can someone post a screenshot of their Vista, browsing this forums? The more text on the screenshot, the better ^^

I noticed recently that text seems kinda big and a bit blurry on my installation ( I'm using a GeForce 6600GT with the nVidia alpha drivers ) and I'm curious if its just me :)

You can ALWAYS format your hard drive. The only thing that could stop you is a physical failure of the drive itself.

No offense, but if you don't understand the basic principles of reformating and dual-booting, then you really shouldn't be using a beta OS... :rolleyes: Beta's are not intended for novices and often require some operations to be done the hard way as the GUI way isn't available yet...

You'll be far better off waiting for the release version and letting MS hold your hand through the installation...

Hi,

Could any1 share self login name, psw and ID login to msdn (plz, to my e-mail [email protected], promise I won't give it to anyboody else).

I haven't succeeded to login with passport.

PLZZZZZZZZZ

Thanx in advance

Sheesh.. you don't SERIOUSLY expect someone to do that do you? Have you ANY idea just how much an MSDN subscription costs? And you want someone to GIVE you their login details?

The only thing you're likely to get in that email address is lots and lots of extra spam! :yes: :woot:

I have installed Windows Vista but I have probem with my wirelles connection. I have an Usb wireless adapter (USR 805422) from US Robotics. The drivers was installed succesfully , but when I start the software that came with the driver, it closes instantly. I cant even search for available networks, the program wont let me. What can I do to solve this?

Does someone experience the same problem?

Your help is needed here...

Any chance of forcing the aero effects to work on an oldie geforce2 mx ? This rig currently has a 64mb one, and just wanted to know if i could force it on somehow, as nVidia's drivers dont support it (obviously, a 5-6 year old card to the very least).. TweakVista maybe ?

1.Make sure you have the newest version of your usb wireless adapter's driver or software from the product's company(you should be able to d.l it off from their website or so)

2.the software you installed is probablly not compatabile with windows vista..

3. have you try to use the wirless zero configuration? its the default windows wireless setting....

I have tried the options you've said, not working. I cant understand, I have no error with the drivers for the USB Wireless Stick. Just the software from USR who is buggy. Is there any other WIFI software that can connect me to my router?

Anyone have any problem where the hard drive just starts to turn on and go, and then nothing else works?? I'm not sure if it is a processing hanging, drivers, or the OS. I was surfing yesterday, and the hard drive light on my laptop went on....so I waited...and nothing ever happened. It just kept the light on....and no response from anything...but the mouse was still moving, but I couldn't do anything else.

It won't work, Geforces up to 4 aren't supported, as they don't have DX9, or Pixel Shader 2.0 support.

ROFL!!! Nobody will give you details. It's not the done thing, and don't ask for a link, its agianst the rules. If you don't know how to aquire it, I suggest you don't mess around with this beta and you wait till it's release.

I would guess when u install the software for ur usb wireless adapter it turn off the wiress zero configuration off....try to uninstall the software and restart ur computer and than get into services to check if the wireless zero configuration is on or not....

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
