Vista Build 5342 Released - Official Topic

[elONEam]

My PC was reset and I'm not sure if the download had finished or not. I was expecting an .ISO file but I have a 2.8 Gb .TMP file and a 4kb .BIN file

Is that right?

Never mind, answered my own question download stalled at 32%

You cannot activate untill the 27th. I read that somewhere.

Ah makes sense, thanks for the info. :)

How long is it to install Vista?? Darn, the thing seem to be frozen on the Install screen, the green bar is rising VERY slowly....

This has got to get better soon....

I'm trying to install Vista on my laptop (see my sig), and it's crazy how much time it takes. I can hear the DVD drive head moving around, the HD ligh is active, but the green progress bar is rising slowly, VERY slowly....

I've burned my ISO in 2x just to make sure that the DVD is okay. But I have the feeling something is wrong.

Try installing it by mounting the ISO with Daemon Tools.. the installation will go fast :), I did that with the last build.

man, the apps run quickly but the system is the sluggish.

Hi all,

I just got build 5342 installed over 5308, and I have only great things to say.

Driver support is enormously better for me in this build than it was in the last.

Also, the build is MUCH more stable, and it could feasibly be used as a primary OS. All apps work fine, and there don't seem to be as many bug reports as before.

Post if you have questions.

[I8PP]

Boot screen is still the same from 5308, in that it's blank.

Hello, the BOOT screen has ben changed ower 5308 ??? Screenshot ??

No, the boot screen hasn't changed yet from the no-logo-white-status-bar of build 5308. I expect that it will be changed, along with the sound scheme, in Beta 2.

A question....

In this lastest build the desktop is accelerated by the video card or this feature is not still implemented?

It's always been accelerated if you run with the DWM.

It has been since Beta 1

Like has already been said, it is accelerated alerady. HOWEVER, don't forget that the drivers shipping with it aren't final drivers either. They are actually a bit ****-poor. nVidia and ATI are still learning the new framework and tweaking the drivers, so you will see much better performance over time.

Of course, until then, you'll see people calling Vista "slow and bloated" because of the drivers.

[iSimx]

is there new wallpaper in this build?

[neostyle]

interesting :D

[Dr.FantastikUS]

I'm curiously that is working the : " Setup the Home or Small Businnes Network " via IPv4 ???

-- in 5308 not work, have problem. :no:

[dragonValoo]

There is one new wallpaper (or at least one that I haven't seen before).

As for Office 2007 Beta 1 TR, it does not work with this build (at least for me). It is installed on the other hard drive (the one with XP) and when I tried to run it in 5342, it gave me a compatibility error message.

I'm not sure about the Audigy. I have an AC97 built in device, and Windows Update found a driver for it.

Also, I seem to recall someone asking a while back (or maybe in another thread) about DX10. I ran a DXDiag in Vista 5342, and the DirectX version is 10.

EDIT: I'm trying to install Office 2007 from within Vista to see if that helps. Also, I think that some people thought Flip3D Disappeared a while back. It's in this build, and it works stunningly.

Setup the Home or Small Office Network " via IPv4 ??? smootly ??????? is't OK ?????
