JustGeorge Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Is the networking still a bit screwy in RC1? I couldn't pull any files off my Xp machine but I could plant files on Vista with the XP machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbosdell Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 downloading at 33kbps here and thats as fast as its been. I got over 200kbps with Pre-RC1 and now its this slow for RC-1??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGeorge Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Pre-RC1 wasn't as available as this so the load wouldn't have been as great. THIS DL is what everyone wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFiberOptics Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I used RC1 for about a week then switched back to XP. Still too much incompatibility, still too much memory usage, and still too many driver problems. The list goes on. Maybe I'm cynical, but to be fair this has been in development for 5 years. :pinch: I pretty much agree. I'm switching back to XP until the final ships.

Mainer82 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does anyone else have SB Audigy LS? Vista is not picking it up and SB does not have beta drivers that actually work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogerjones Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Download stabilized at about 4.5 MB/sec (not using the download manager), so the servers must still be doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcyn Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does anyone else have SB Audigy LS? Vista is not picking it up and SB does not have beta drivers that actually work. The Creative drivers are flaky with this build. I was able to get my Audigy 2 ZS working but not in 5.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does anyone else have SB Audigy LS? Vista is not picking it up and SB does not have beta drivers that actually work. Yes, I'm also the unfortunate owner of a crappy LS. ;) (I've learnt it does EAX in software :blink:) Anyway, I believe compatible drivers for this build and this card will be posted here when available: http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board?board.id=Vista One of the stickied topics is for the LS, but still only for Beta 2. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-uk Veteran Posted September 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2006 ok so mine keeps getting stuck at 110mb :/ ive tried 2 browsers and free download manager any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosrocket Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 With both build 5536 and 5600 RC1 I have the same problems, first when waking from sleep my wireless network connection is lost and second hibernating is still screwy. The whole point of changing from 5536 to 5600 was I hoped these two problems were rectified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primexx Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 1) anyone have the size in bytes of the x86 and x64 isos? 2) what's a simple file hashing program that i could use to hash the iso? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisinCain Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Why does the downloader & direct browser download only d/l 907 bytes & say it is finished? I can't download the full ISO file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted September 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2006 Thanks for the links. It's about 32% done, going at around 350 KB/sec. Interestingly enough I had no problems downloading Pre-RC1, and this RC1 build. For beta 2, it kept stalling on me at random points. For my PC, since I have 2 GB of RAM, build 5536 chipped away an additional 256 MB of RAM to use as graphics memory. :huh: Here I am thinking that the 256 MB of VRAM on my 7800 GT isn't enough, so Vista needs to act as if I have an integrated graphics chip and reserve additional memory? Does it still do this for this build? I wouldnt even let my grandmother's, brother's, sister's, third cousin use a system with 288mb of ram. I would chunk it out the window and buy them a new box. people dont deserve to suffer so badly in life Actually, if my grandmother or some family member has no legitimate reason to upgrade to Vista, I'd happily keep them on XP, even with 288 MB of RAM (or 512 MB, that's enough for a casual user). And if you're still that anal about a PC with 288 MB of RAM, please donate it to charity or at least give it to my school that still has Windows 98-era PCs running XP with 64 MB of RAM. But don't chuck it out of the window. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrIgoe Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey. I signed up for Connect and did the validation thing, then it said my information would be sent soon, but its been like 4 hours, is there some step I missed or will the key not be sent to me via email or what? Are the servers just getting hammered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primexx Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Here is x86 I don't have x64 2,709,782,528 crc 0xB3519FCA ok this file has to be renamed to crc.exe It won't let me attach a .exe file i dont know how to use crc. anyone have a md5 or sha1 hasher? I'd like to compare with MS's results. edit: got it http://sourceforge.net/projects/verifier edit: could anyone try verifier and post their MD5 and SHA1 hashes (please note if it's x86 or x64)? I'm getting a different hash than the ones on MS and I want to verify if it's my problem, their problem, or the hash program's problem. Thanks! 32-Bit MD5 hash: 22486e815a38feffd9667317dfeec55a SHA1 hash: e00b4ebbc81fb420cf047973b95a9cfb7cdf51b7 64-Bit MD5 hash: f3a385aae6e4dea9226e31d9f1148b56 SHA1 hash: 8e4de7a72c828a3543ff1663243eb0836da07eea Edited September 7, 2006 by primexx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted September 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) To check the MD5, CRC, and SHA-1 hash, you can use HashTab to activate a tab located on a file's Properties dialog. Very convienent. @primexx: I've just finished my download. I'll check the hash. edit: The two hashes given by MS for the x86 build match my file. (Both MD5 and SHA1) You can try using HashTab, but chances are the download's corrupt. :/ edit 2: Odd, I see what you mean. I got a different hash for the ISO when using Verifier: A7726DDEDBE4D031F61A331C2021971A :huh: Edited September 7, 2006 by rm20010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 yes, i hashed my x64 iso with the verifyer and got a different hash also. however using the hash tab it returns the proper hash for it. I'm still getting a wrong hash for the x86 version, I wanted to check because my computer crashed in between. So I'll re-download the x86 iso now. As to the verifier...it's just, wierd, i've even checked the verifier's accuracy against php's md5 hash and it turns out the same results for a string of text, so now i'm left wondering whether php's hash algorithm is accurate or not.

Post-It Note Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Use md5sum: http://www.etree.org/md5com.html . It should take more than a minute for it to calculate the md5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
