ASilvaA Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hello PPL! Just registered today and just downloaded Vista B1 from MSDN (my company's subcription), I have been running it with no trouble at all for most of the day (as a matter of fact I am running in it now). However, my only issue is that I don't have AERO GLASS!! I have used TweakVista with no luck ('Run as a DLL has stopped working' or something like it). I have a Dell XPS2 so I think my video card (Geforce Go 6800 Ultra) should be able to give me the glass effect! Anyone know any way to force it or any other way? Any help would be appreciated!!

Acezo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 man oh man...I just got the download from Connect and now I got this 2GB image sitting on my desktop, I'm looking at it and I'm REALLY just wondering if I should even give this beta a run for its money. So far (And I've read this thread from page 1) only 3 people out of all that have installed Beta 1 have it running nice. I really don't know If I should install this...And again, anyone sense the irony?. 50% of that image are drivers and yet, we have people complaning every second about the lack of support..:rofl: sigh...maybe I shoud sleep on this.. 586288780[/snapback] I installed it earlier today and it's working great. All the people with successful installs must be playing around with it, and everyone else comes here for help :p The only drivers I had to install manually were for my SBLive!5.1, USB Bluetooth, onboard sound & onboard lan. It dealt with everything else quickly and easily :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rishid Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Can I install this even if I do not have a DVD burner? Able to run the exe from windows itself and maybe dual boot or something? Don't feel like downloading from MSDN if I can't. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Anyone got it to install under Virtrual Server (or Virtual PC)? I got an error saying the partition table is corrupt and it's got an unformatted hard disk image attached to the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQUaDeX Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Well, I give up. I can't get it to install on my laptop for anything. I even deleted the entire hardrive so it was blank. Still freezes at the same point when I boot off the DVD. 586288612[/snapback] my installation froze for like 30 minutes mid-way too, just keep waiting, at least mine went thru eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishid Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Now I can just mount with Alcohol? Or does it come with it's own mounting software? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastodd Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Wow, FullScreen browsing in IE actually means Full Screen. The toolbar and such disappears until you put your mouse at the top. Great for presenting websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 my installation froze for like 30 minutes mid-way too, just keep waiting, at least mine went thru eventually 586289032[/snapback] I'm guessing here, but there is a bug in Windows Small Business Server 2003 where if you choose a language other than US English, it takes ages (sometimes hours) to install. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benotti Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Now I can just mount with Alcohol? Or does it come with it's own mounting software?Thanks 586289033[/snapback] Just use Daemon Tools or alcohol to mount the image under xp like you would mount any other image. Installation starts automatically and speaks for it self (and takes care of it self) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soothsayer Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Nope no indication. Like I said, I cant get past the Longhorn Boot screen. I do not get to any point that I can interact at all. When I try to do the install in XP, I tell it to install on the 2nd partition, It installs everything on my XP drive and after reboot, freezes again. I am seriously frustrated. 586288637[/snapback] That sucks. Have you tried disabling random things in your BIOS, or updating your BIOS? I think you should report your problem to Microsoft.
