nightRider Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 What are the required specs of your system to install it? Mine: Pentium 4 1.8 GHz processor 256 MB memory Free Space: 11 GB How big does the partition have to be? I also have an unopened 225 BG harddrive package that I can install if there isn't enough space. Would Beta 1 kill my system? I am not all that concerned about speed because i know that my comp is slow enough. I'm more going for functionality. :) And yes, I do have a subscription.

P!P Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah, I'm having major issues (again). I have Intel Graphics 3D 845 and the graphics are all 4 bit and it's 600x400. When I installed XP I had to download and install the drivers but it's not letting me because of the new OS. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioscheine Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 when installing, is there an option that puts vista on a seperate partition (like windows will make that partition for you if you choose that option)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyx Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Is it possible to install Longhorn on a different partition and run XP and Longhorn together without problems? Or would I have to perform a format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a video card that is way WAY WAY below the minimum required for vista video cards. You will never be able to use that card in Vista. It simply can not handle the Vista video requirements. Upgrade to a real graphics card. That's your only solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaidar Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Posting this on Vista. :)Aero transparency and all other affects work on Dell Inspirion 6000 with ATI Mobility Radeon X300. I wasn't sure if it would. No errors so far... 586283947[/snapback] Sigh ... Are you gonna explain how you got that flashy DX desktop? Because it's not even in this beta.

I realized it didn't quite install the right driver but close. I'm trying to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsutton Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Does anyone has any idea how to enable that funcky new desktop look? With all the transparancy and everything?Didn't that require DX9? Because in this copy only DX8.1 is installed ... 586283647[/snapback] You need a video card that can support DirectX9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having issues on my laptop. I boot from cd, get the loading windows dialog, then the longhorn loading screen and the it just stops doing anything. Must not like my hardware or it may not like my 2nd partition. I have no clue. Its a newer laptop too. P4 2.8 1 gig of ddr400 80 gig hard drive and a ATI 9600 128mb mobile and integrated wireless. No idea what the issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I could be wrong since it requires you to look at the Dxdiag output file and match it. Have a go with it and see if it's on the list or not.

That desktop will be available in Beta 2, you gotta do it with Aero right now... And, damn that installation takes long, I downloaded it last night and woke up to install it this morning but it's progressing REALLY slow.
