jamend Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The installation doesn't work for me. Just before it would start installing (right after you select the drive to install on), it shows a message saying "An error occurred while setup was validating the system for installation.". Build 5270 worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagamer34 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 nVidia drivers are automatically put in the latest Vista builds. Check the date on the drivers and first SEE if it's new at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiwai Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Agreed I dont post much. But the Feb. CTP is really interesting to me and the deciding factor between me switching to Linux or staying with Windows since its 99% feature complete. Info is defintitly wanted. Well, for me, being an old UNIX hat, and using Windows XP Home, I can tell you this - what do you want to do with your machine; if it is basic web surfing, writing letters to aunt pearl and instant messaging, then basically you could run any operating system you wanted, and you'd get the same result. For me, I have applications that I like using, I don't want replacements, I want the actual application running on the alternative platform - and sorry, none of them are available for Linux/Solaris or FreeBSD. If I am going to use an alternative operating system again, its going to be because I can run the applications I want, and the OS is superior, the fact that nothing has come along yet which can accomplish such a feet keeps me win Windows land. I have absolutely no loyalty to Microsoft, I only use it, because it does what I need - if an alternative came along, I'd use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 nVidia is supposed to put out new ForceWare drivers today for Vista. It should fix the lag. This is good because it was my main bug!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt-DavidW Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Like my 3800+ amd 64 before the processor died, only got rated a 3, and that was with a x800 xl, 1g of ram, 200g hdd, etc... You have to remember that Windows Vista will still be used for up to 10 years, and your computer hardware in 10 years will be seen as how a 50MHz Windows 95 machine is seen today. The ratings are probably averaged out around what will be average hardware in 2010. But I don't know how Microsoft are going about this, so I'm probably mistaken. As for the sidebar, in my opinion it's simply a waste of space. There is a perfectly good digital clock in the bottom right corner without the need for a giant analogue clock and who needs 'Launcher' when there is already Quick Launch in XP? I also don't like the thick pointless borders in non-glass windows. I hope they thinnen or remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reactionary007 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 How much space does the full install require? About 5GB or so? i think it takes 8 GB before it will let you install. as far as how much space it actually takes when the install is over... i'm not sure.

Scirwode Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have a question that concerns Windows Media Player 11 in Windows Vista. How is the performance in WMP11 and is it very easy to navigate? I would also like to know, for those who have a large number of music, can you arrange them by disc number in the player, like iTunes? I would appreciate if the official testers here could answer my question. Thank you for your time. PSG22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdesmus Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 i think it takes 8 GB before it will let you install. as far as how much space it actually takes when the install is over... i'm not sure. AFAIK it takes about 3.5GB once it's installed, but i think it needs around 8GB during the install for temp stuff... I could be wrong though. So I have heard, the installs times are about 1/2 of what they were. I have a question that concerns Windows Media Player 11 in Windows Vista.

I would appreciate if the official testers here could answer my question. Thank you for your time. PSG22 Yes, it's quite speedy and quite easy to navigate. Again, AFAIK it's possible to arrange the music by virtually any field (Artist, Album, Year, Disc Number, etc)...I will let you know once I get this build installed.

KayMan2K Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 How much space does the full install require? About 5GB or so? Windows Vista 5308 x64 took up about 6 gigabytes once installed, not including the paging or hibernation files. Yeah... I was surprised how much space it took up, heck... even used 800! MB of memory. Do expect these figures to decrease for the final product. I am a fan of Microsoft's products, but Vista seems very unprofessional (ugly interface), very bloated (incredible memory/space requirements), and misguided (many cool features were removed because the average consumer did not understand how to use them). Although, one cool feature is that whatever drive the OS is installed on becomes C. From XP's point of view, Vista was installed on E drive. From Vista's point of view.. it is installed on C drive. Not sure if this is Vista or the new bootloader (and I'm leaning towards the boot loader). Setup time, not sure. Honestly. It took me 8 minutes to boot my PC and start the fully-automatic installation. I woke up this morning and it was done, all drivers automatically installed.

Do expect these figures to decrease for the final product. x64 said it requires atleast 12GB partition to even start installation. Finished was about 6.5GB. And yah it does take about 750MB of memory once loaded. I'd say theres alot of room for optimization there unless they're assuming everyone will be running 2+GB ram by the time this comes out lol.
