Ya I see that it was added to my connected thing. Downloading it now! But i cant find a new key. Does it require a new key becuase in my connect thing I only have keys for 5308 and below.

I wish I could get this damn build to install! Had exactly the same problem with 5308... setup runs, reboots once, reboots twice, does it's thing for a couple of minutes, then I get a screen full of garbage. Nobody in the newsgroups seems to be able to help either :(

What sort of setup do you have, laptop/desktop? x86, 64?? On board graphics, plenty of disk space? Are you running it from the cd, or starting it from Windows?

did you guys install the official nvidia vista drivers? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_87.15.html

I used these... apparently they give better performance:

v. 87.43 32Bit

v. 87.43 64bit

They are working well for me, on my 6800GT, although I can't go into standby - but this might be a sound driver issue.

Well, I got a problem intalling the build 5342 Release.

Everything works fine, until the first restart. I choose Vista on Bootmanager

and then the whole screen goes black and remains black.

I've tried several times, same effect.

I got a 3500+, 1GB RAM, 6800 GT

I chose a logical partition of my IDE drive instead of a primary. Could that be the Problem?

I appreciate your help :) .

Are Audigy 2 ZS drivers available for this release? Can they be installed natively or via XP SP2 mode?

As far as I know, you can launch CTZAPXX.exe or CTAPXX.exe (under safe mode) under audio\drivers\ on your Audigy installation CD. (assuming the directory structure is the same as the SBLive! disks)

I've waited about 25 minutes now, and I don't think something is going to change.

Maybe I should try my S-ATA HDD? Do I need additional drivers? Cause I don't have a floppy drive :cool:

Damn it! I want it! :angry:

Whatever i do, 5342 refuses to install on my x2 system. If i put in the dvd (32bit add 64bit, it dosnt matter) it would first just give me a black screen at boot. Then i tried to install it withn my windows xp, using daemon tools and then it would go ahead but later on give me an error. Then tried to boot the dvd again, and it did - instead of giving me the black screen. Then on the first reboot, it would simple give me a black screen on boot :s. Then tried to install again from withn xp using daemon tools, this time it would give me display after the first reboot, but what do you think happened on the second reboot? Just another ****ing black screen hanging :angry: :angry:

Vista 5342 just dont like my system :angry: - Not even in VMWare!

Oh... I tried on "multiple" drives, not just one... So i would be surprised if it was the drives to cause this.

I don't know if this helps, but Vista gives me a black screen on boot for a good 30 seconds before the real bootscreen kicks in, I heard it has to do with SATA drives, plus i'm on a not so modern computer. but It might help.

Just installed this build. It looks alright, compared to older builds, but the sound drivers don't install, and graphic performance is laggy. Even with my 7800 GT, dragging the window isn't that smooth, and some of the animations stutter. Oh well, at least glass and the animations work.

I didn't snap a screenshot of the system rating box, but according to the XML file WinSAT produced:

	<SystemScore>5</SystemScore>
	<MemoryScore>5</MemoryScore>
	<CpuScore>5.2</CpuScore>
	<CpuEncDecScore>5.2</CpuEncDecScore>
	<VideEncodeScore>5.3</VideEncodeScore>
	<GraphicsScore>5.9</GraphicsScore>
	<GamingScore>5.7</GamingScore>
	<DiskScore>5.7</DiskScore>

my system's rating is 5. :yes:

The black screen just hangs, the longest time i waited was 20 mins- Before i turned it off.

I also tried to just unplug all my drives, i didnt need. Also tried to install on IDE drives.

Yeah right. I'll believe that when I see a screenshot.
