Windows Vista Beta 1

[zxcv501]

Forgot to mention... I was actually using 3 systems. I used one workstation to download the file, one server to mount the iso, and a different workstation to do the install (this pc has a cdrw, but not a dvd). The installer workstation was a blank pc, I had to use BartPE to get the Vista installer started...... there was no winnt.exe type executable to start from a clean pc. weird :blink:

I've seen tons of screenshots so far. But what I haven't seen is screenshots of two things I'm curious about:

- The Logon Screen

- The Open/Save file dialog

Could someone be kind enough to provide screenshots of these?

Nvidia didn't provide drivers for the 6XXX and 7XXX series of cards, Go to Nvidia's Forum and complain or send Nvidia an email.

Anyways my FX 5200 works perfectly with Aero Glass

You try disabling the windows audio service (just to see what the culprit is)?

Ok, did you bother installing the supplemental drivers? My 6600 GT seemed to install just fine, with what appears to be the latest nVidia drivers. I haven't had much opportunity to actually test performance since I'm having trouble getting my nForce ethernet to connect to my cable network.

[soothsayer]

Two questions. Has anyone had much luck running Vista in virtual pc, or vmware? If so, how well does it run? Secondly, what is a good safe way/tool to repartition your hard drive?

Yea, nothing, it seems to be video related, also it wasn't getting any of my card info..

Has anyone had problems connecting to the internet with Vista? Vista finds my network card but doesnt connect..I've tried renewing and releasing many times

[karma_police]

I had some issues first but after 2 reboots everything is fixed, actually was weird because I set a static IP but when I did ipconfig at the command prompt I got something like:

- IP - 169.254.x.x

- subnet - 255.255.255.0

- gateway 192.168.2.10

Eventhough I set an IP in the same range as the gateway.

BTW great drivers from ATi, fixed some flickering I was getting with IE.

I had a similar problem where i couldnt pull an IP address out of my router, after Vista was working on a previous reboot. I could no longer pull an IP address from the router.

The one thing that fixed it was renewing the IP address on my router by logging into it. Why? I dunno, but I haven't had a single problem since.

[karma_police]

Yes rebooting. It's weird because on XP I dont have to reboot if I change my static IP but Vista asked to reboot the system after I changed the IP.

x:\Windows\clock.avi is STILL there. :laugh: :rolleyes: Yeeeeeeesh.

Man am I loving aero glass. This is awesome. Beta 1 of Vista is in so much better shape than Beta 1 of XP, but then, they have had 2 years of working on it, right?

[ATLien_0]

have they implemented vector graphics yet? And The full Aero interface / Avalon hasnt been included yet right?

[P!P]

Has anyone tried Longhorn Server? I was thinking of dual-booting with it.
