Vista Build 5342 Released - Official Topic


Recommended Posts

Anyone who has seen the "Online Spotlight" feature can clearly tell that Media Center is no where near feature complete. In fact, they are still using what looks like the Media Center 2005 GUI!

Feature Complete? Bleh. MCE is really what needs to be rewritten (or in this case, written, as it hasn't even changed yet!) :pinch:

PLEASE respond me: The driver for Audigi (it) is installed normally ('via Setup') or via Update Driver from Device Manager ????

{+main sound card is Audigi 1.} :blink: :unsure:

I've installed the drivers in normal ways i.e. via setup.. so far so good..

but I've not yet test the functionality of the mic feature and voice recognition..

gonna test it later this evening :whistle:

I also had a lot of probs with anti-virus on Vista. In fact I was having installation problems which noone else had!. Gave up an AVG as it was ruining my Vista installation. I finally fell upon Avast. It instal?ls and works superbly in Vista. Just go through the preferences after install for better satisfaction. I,m so pleased with it I have even taken out AVG from XP and installed Avast. With a firewall in the router and Avast running, I have taken away the Windows Firewall option and disabled Defender. No problems - so far!

its nice, usability and responsiveness have greatly improved. Its good enough to use as your primary os if all you are doing is simple tasks such as web browsing, chatting etc

but other than that, no. I tried running Oblivion on vista and it actually ran great at first (better than xp i think) but ran into many lag spikes. Most likely because of the high page file usage and cpu for debug taks in the background

Is that AOL instant Messenger you got working there? if so which version and how did you get it to work? I see you also have GAIM installed but the chatting window doesn't look like Gaim.

Can someone post a screenshot of Task Manager on Performance tab? It would be best if the screenshot was taken shortly after boot - I'd like to verify if all those The Inquirer rumors about 4GB's for Vista are justed :p

???

Inq said that when running e.g. FEAR on Vista, they believed you may need even more than 2 GB for optimal gaming without RAM bottlenecks, such as a 4 GB system, but not necessarily that, and not necessarily causing you a headache even if you had 2 GB. And more than 1 GB for Far Cry. They never say Vista uses 4 GB directly after startup. They said it used 800 MB. Get your facts right.

Its gaim 2.0 beta 2, they have changed the interface quite a bit from 1.5

soulburner:

Vista doesnt use anywhere near 800MB. On my system it was only using 250-300MB of RAM

page file usage is high though, 600-800MB, most likely for debug tasks. I think thats where the Inquirer got their numbers

Really looking forward to installing this......am a newby to this board so excuse me.

I've downloaded the Iso x86 from a torrent site, do i need to find a key or code to install it?

or do i need an invitation?

Thanks for the help.

You're probly better off asking your mom. Way to get off to a good start on Neowin!

Err, well you shouldn't say where you got it. and you do need an Offical key from Connect. and it be better from getting it from MSDN or Connect (like me) so you know it wont mess up....or wait for the Public Preview.

Cool thanks for the help.....

I'll scrub the torrent ive downloaded dont want any unwanted pests.

Im a memeber of MSDN so i'll have a look around there.

I've install Microsoft Live Messenger 8 beta, Internet Explorer Beta and Live Mail Beta so i'll be done with them for a while then if i cannot get a Vista download.

I have a problem my GFX card driver was installed after I installed Vista and in my Rating are I got a 2 but my RAM is missing from the rating how do I fix this?

P.S. I am an official beta tester for Vista.

Wait....you have more ram than that? If so are you using a Virtual pc? also the low rating might be because of the card....but if you have more ram and its not showing up file a bug report on Connect.

Yes, I have 64 MB of RAM on my GFX card, and I reported a bug about it.

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
