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.

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
