Wow! with RC2 I didn't need my motherboard's driver to see my Raid Drives in the installation, and the installation process was a bit faster too.

Hey,

this is a big thread so I haven't bothered reading every page. Im trying to find out how stable is Vista RC2? How far along is it?

Last time I used it, it crashed all the time, couldn't install almoast anything, and so on.

Thanks.

Short version,

Very stable... i actually installed it on my main desktop for the first time ever (usually just test on my laptop)

Very quick and very responsive. It seems to be as quick as XP at this point (maybe I am making that up...)

I have only run into one program that will not install (Ultramon for dual monitor taskbars) ...otherwise everything is installing without a single problem :yes:

How do we uninstall it? I'm having lots of problems with it and XP doesn't appear anymore - I didn't upgrade, don't get me wrong on this.

How about you wait longer than 4 minutes next time before you post again, smart guy :blink: :angry:

Download this, install it. It gives you an option to uninstall the Vista bootloader...

My my, so much has happen in my absence... :laugh: . Does anyone know any burner besides Nero 6 that can be used on Windows Vista Build 5728 as my Nero 6 can't burn my ISO at the moment. Would appreciate if someone could give a little help here. Thank you :yes: .

"there is nothing wrong with the Microsoft Firewall", LMAO!!!! the default firewall sucks, you must no know nothing about firewalls!

Yeah, it sucks doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Just because it has a simple user interface for newbies doesn't mean it sucks. There's this ^^ that seems equivalent to third party firewalls.

Zonealarm is a great firewall, a few too many resources, but no-where near as much as norton crap. using nod32, zonealarm, spybot, adaware and you wont have any problems.

symantec antivirus for vista is on the net, prob your best bet for an antivirus at the moment until better more stable ones are released.

Dont make me laugh please...

I shudder at the thought that "testers" who should in theory know more than my mother about computers uses any of the rubbish you mention.

using nod32, zonealarm, spybot, adaware and you wont have any problems.

Classic...

Boot from your xp cd and enter in recovery console.

then try this:

1st - Fixboot

2nd - Fixmbr

3rd - Exit and Reboot

4st - Finally edit Boot.ini and delete line with "Longhorn" or "Vista" on it and delete the folder Vista resides in.

when in xp, delete the vista partition

Psykx, this thread is messed up so you're not alone. Post #555 is the last one that can be seen unless you reply.

I had that same trouble with the ATI driver on my 9800 Pro. It installed the non-wddm driver by default and I got that same strange blue screen ( not a BSOD) and a reboot. I had to manually change to the wddm driver in device manager but now I have no Aero.

i'm having the same problem with the nvidia drivers too. Currently the driver "installs" but doesn't work. Run dxdiag and you'll see it's not detecting a directx video card

Anyone having problems with Nvidia drivers? Crap support for Nvidia drives.... Crap.... It's like 52XX version all over again!!!

    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
