If a 3rd party application doesn't work... it's the software developers fault. Have you tried a 3rd party app that can do the same job instead?

Gaim and trillian i cant get to work either, which to me is good because i dont like either one of them. It just sucks this far along that they dont work, hopefully the next build.

Can anyone shed some light into why exactly NOD32 and other popular AV programmes etc dont run? It ****es me off as like alot of you, Ive paid for NOD32 and to be told I cant run it...

although as people have mentioned its using common sense to avoid viruses it would still be nice to have an AV programme.

NOD32 screws up the TCP/IP stack in Vista. Of course, you can always just turn off IMON. Too bad Vista doesn't even allow us to install it now... :angry:

Okay, Im using Pre-RC1 and I must say it's running great on my setup, triple booting at this moment between Win XP, Win XP 64 and Pre-RC1. I finally got sound! Previously my Creative Labs sound card would crash Beta 2. I am installing WoW to see if it can play. Hoping RC1 will be great. I am definately buying the Ultimate Edition when it comes out next year!

A few quick questions before installing this.

I have it mounted with Alcohol 120% and it seems alright, though I could be wrong. Is it possible for a clean install off this?

Options were Upgrade and Custom. I do not want to upgrade. The other option says "Custom" which says it will erase everything, I assume this is the same as a fresh installation.

I'm wondering if it's possible to do that with it mounted on Alcohol 120%. A fresh installation.

Installing from a virtual drive is A-OK. Setup won't require the disc after the intial copying. It's how i do it otherwise i wouldn't be able test the thing at all except for milestones.

I've heard a few bad things about nvidia drivers. I just downloaded 88.61_forceware_vista_x86_international, I want to know if this is good for Vista 5536 and a 6800 GT? I heard something about a black screen or whatever it was.

Also, I noticed the CPU jumps sometimes, is there a fix for that? Or recommended ways to tweak the system?

Indeed, those drivers are going to give you a black screen on build 5536 and 5552 as far as we know. Stick with the OS supplied drivers and wait for NVIDIA to release new drivers, my guess is that these will come out with the RC1 release. In the meantime you should be able to run some games(with a little bit performance loss). CPU jumping is probably indexing service or something like that, this will dissapear after a while.

It was messing around with the shift key and closing windows that seems to have caused this problem. Toggling with the shift key didn't work, however.

EDIT: OK, I opened a different drive with filenames displayed and made it the default view in Folder Options.

I just noticed if you press shift when right-clicking on a folder that you get two new commands on the context menu - Open Command Window Here and Copy As Path.

IE doesn't seem to want to connect to Adobe to download Flash/Shockwave. I had to open Firefox and download it. Hmmm...

Windows seems to be turning into Mac....slow and pretty.

Yea OS X is pretty damn fast and efficient when it comes to speed, at least for me. And considering that I can run 12 programs at once including dreamweaver, aperture, and photoshop, and still not have any noticeable sluggishness on my aging G4 PowerBook, I'd say its pretty damn fast, lol.

Regardless of hardware, OSX just feels slow, moving windows, moving the cursor, scrolling pages, even the minimise 'genie effect' is way too bloated, and just takes too long - its just a case of slowly does it.

The good thing about Vista is it retains its fast Windows style feel.

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
