QUOTE(darkjedi @ Jul 29 2005, 11:17 AM) Anyone about drivers? Well, ATI has made available LDDM drivers on their website (separate from those inc with Vista Beta 1). A fairly small download at 4.1Mb. Nvidia will probably follow suit shortly. |

QUOTE(asellus @ Aug 1 2005, 01:15 PM) The product key should be in the e-mail Microsoft has sent to him (if Vista beta procedure is the same as Windows Server 2003 R2). Nope. You'll have to request it from Microsoft Connect. |

QUOTE(asellus @ Aug 1 2005, 09:30 PM) BetaPlace is where Microsoft do another beta-test of their OS, which is Windows Server 2003 R2 (I am part of that one). Windows XP 64-bit is also conducted there (already got my free serial number, although not using it yet). I wonder why Microsoft does their OS beta-testing in 2 different websites (BetaPlace for Windows Server 2003 R2 + Windows XP 64-bit and Microsoft Connect for Vista). Everything's going to shift to Microsoft Connect or so that's what i read. Betaplace ---> WindowsBeta ---->Microsoft Connect. All WindowsBeta content has moved to MC, but BP is still alive and well. As i mentioned, the WI 6.2 Beta will begin there soon. |

Not all. Zonealarm Free has problems.
It looks pretty. Quite a resource hogger. Quite a few bugs actually. Off to the support forums for me.  |

QUOTE(kevinchlee @ Aug 5 2005, 06:09 PM) driver there are some little problem... It still chugs with Aero on my 3.2Ghz 1GB X800 pro system. Haven't installed the soundmax drivers yet, most probably tonight. Did you access the newsgroups yet kevin ? I post mostly there, a bit lazy to use the Beta Client.my windows can have a transperancy view coz my Graphics card 128mb ATI readon 9200se are not LDDM (Longhorn Display Driver Model) so i cant get the full aero feature... |

QUOTE(kaffra @ Aug 6 2005, 09:22 AM) beta2 is when the eye candy will be implemented. Yeah, can't wait for the "proper" Aero Glass (or so that's what i read in the newsgroups).QUOTE(samuraiKidz @ Aug 6 2005, 09:28 AM) Hmm, seriously I don't think the Icons need to be that big To make it look simpler maybe ? I dunno. But easily changeable. You can scale the size with a slider.Maybe Microsoft have their own reason behind  This post has been edited by Eoma: Aug 6 2005, 12:22 PM |

QUOTE(nerd @ Aug 26 2005, 01:24 AM) guys, are there any drivers for creative SB live? My onboard sound (soundmax cadenza; p4pe) works fine. And yes it will be detected automatically (the onboard sound). Re-install the onboard sound drivers if no osund comes out though. Use WinXP compatability mode if you need to.more detail: i tried dl-ing the drivers, but it can't detect my card now >< do i need to cabut d card and use my onboard? but how? i mean it wont suddenly magically detect rite? |

It's not only you. All the other SB Live users are facing the same thing. There are workarounds (not 100% perfect though). Didn't read the workarounds since not using one. I can find out for you though (and for the other shy testers in LY.net with SB Live)

QUOTE(maianeh @ Sep 10 2005, 10:31 AM) If an X800 runs modestly, how badly does it perfom to Kevin's 9200? It's always like this. Software (with next-gen supporting features) will be released on current hardware that can run it "fine", but runs "best" on next-gen hardware. It drives the market. Anymore reviews or comments from anyone else using Vista? Anyway. Beta 1 is not focused on performance/eye candy. That's what Beta 2 is for. |

The fixmbr command just reinstalls the XP bootloader (a short 2-3 minute procedure), it doesn't touch the installation of Windows XP.
Essentially it achieves steps 2-6. This post has been edited by Eoma: Oct 7 2005, 07:44 PM |
