caboosemoose Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Thanks!!! I did this and it works! It's a bit jumpy, but it looks nice!?:DDEdit: it was only laggy because I had "Force software D3D" enabled in TweakVista, now its as fast as ever! 586298493[/snapback] I dont see the option for "force software D3D@ in TweakVista, where is it? EDIT: ok, found it in the latest version of tweakvista. Edited July 30, 2005 by caboosemoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ev0| Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Wow there sure are a lot of bugs in Vista !!. So much fun to test it anyway. I can't wait until PDC, we'll do it all over again. Then Beta 2. Then RC0. Then RC1. Then, we'll be able to upgrade to RC2 probably, and then when final comes out everyone will go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxondale. Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 well after an error and F'ing up my PC im downloading it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0| Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 My experience so far is that 1.) Certain Apps will F it up 2.) It can't take the same amount of messing around (changing settings etc) than XP can You definately cannot use this as a main system, no way.

boogerjones Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Anybody get antivirus to work? If so, which one? I installed SAV CE 10, and windows wouldn't start, couldn't uninstall in safe mode, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderRiver Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The system is quite usable for me although it did freeze a couple times. I haven't figured out how to run AOL Instant Messenger on it. Any work-arounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned it at 8x the first time. 586299691[/snapback] No particular speed i can suggest since errors in copying are unpredictable. Worst case would be to extract the files from the ISO to your Hard Drive and burn them from that, although I doubt it will be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
