RC1 was unstable on my machine so i deleted that partition. Problem is now..i can't get rid of boot manager in vista to go back to xp's boot. anyone know how to get rid of the boot manager after a partion deletion?

Slap in an XP CD, boot to recovery mode. Type in fixmbr, and say yes to all of MS' not responsible messages, and presto... :o

that doesn't work. I tried that already. also there is a exe file on vista that is supposed to work, but i think vista is still supposed to be installed if you use that. I guess i have to reformat this to get the mbr back the way it was. any other suggestions?

Nope... the solution documented by Microsoft using the Vista repair console on the disc, can be performed from XP or Vista

Where are the screenies kids? It takes a while to get through to the download section on connect, try the link below if you're on the beta. I'm maxing out my connection off the North American server.

OK got it running. Phew, 2 hours to in-place from previous build...

They changed the desktop to say "RC2".

No screenshots, sorry. But runs fine on my Dell Optiplex 270. Dual monitors on GeForce FX5500.

Usually I would get a lot more HD activity after install, but not with this build... so I guess that's good...

Nothing else much that I can see. Kind of uneventful I guess. Where are the days when things were broken after installs? :cool:

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

Open Source (C++, wxWidgets) Cross platform for Windows (7/10), Linux, RPi and Mac (if self-compiled) WebChangeMonitor 26.06 release notes: Release 26.06 brings mostly s but updates the underlying core infrastructure. A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
