All the course-related stuff that I'd need my PC for are finished now, so bring on the public preview!

Azureus' problem is indeed because of Java. Uninstall Java and install this latest one:

http://download.java.net/jdk6/binaries/

NOD32 works fine for me though.

Thanks for the java update.
I will try the NOD32 again, as i was trying it on 64bit version. im back on 32bit.

I had nvidia troubles on 64bit vista.

nod32 gave me this:

this look like i dont have all the rights to the harddrive, however i can install all of the above programs. Albeit useing the windows installer.

How did you get your hands on a copy of Vista ? May be a stupid question so dont bash me.

janesssssy · 28 May 2006 at 22:17

go to the MS site and either sign up for "microsoft connect" or even better sign up for an MSDN account. you will have to pay for the operating systems subscriptions. about £150

csmager · 28 May 2006 at 22:20

Should be released for free as a Public Preview within the next couple of weeks though.

You made me go to the msdn subscription site

Just went through the process and for that subscription its £551.08 inc vat :eek:

Nearly got my CC out lol

But having seen the Vista 2 demo at the CTS show, seemed very good, except when they managed to crash explorer 5 times..

Etrust AV works with Vista, only about £7 to buy, so not the end of the world.

I think i stick with Windows XP, i refuse to pay that price for Vista. Yikes.

janesssssy · 29 May 2006 at 00:03

there are different levels of subscription.

NOD32 hangs sstem with 100% of cpu.

Plus CA antivirus has a free trial for vista.
Im going to bed.

That's the price for an MSDN subscription.

What are the graphics requirements for vista? I mean is it something that could be run on a macbook (bootcamp permitting) with it's integrated GMA950 chip that shares the system's memory?

hmm probably not if you want to use Aero, without it no problems

Domo · 29 May 2006 at 02:00

Is Aero present in Beta2?

Did you not read the bit where I said you'll be able to download it for free inside a couple of weeks?

NOD32 appears to run perfectly on the 32bit version for me on a few pcs...

EDIT: Probably works because I disable IMON when installing, so I never experienced that issue!

I believe that chipset is about the only one with WDDM drivers, so Aero will probably work... probably not very well at the moment though.

like i said there are different levels of subscription. The one i have is just for operating systems which is about £150. this is not just for vista but any thing that falls under that catagory.

Nod32 now works fine with out imon enabled. thank you.

The best part in Vista is this

Pointless if your lefthanded like my self.

A[L]C · 29 May 2006 at 20:51

Is it possible to dual boot vista and xp?
