Commodore Max Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 5472 was smooth as hell for me.....but theres always room for improvement. Same here. It finally worked ok with my 6800GT as well.

pipdo Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 downloaded, verified, burnt, and disc verified as well, but when I went to install, it wouldn't boot to the disc...and XP didn't recognize the disc either - gave me a readme file though, about needing to have a OS with UDF support :huh: I guess it was a burn error...so I'm trying the burn again :angry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/2/#findComment-587817982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

goreckm Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 umm. looks a little suspicious too me. if u zoom in on the bottom right, u see a little interference where the text for the build is, so i wouldn't be to sure. hmm. on second thought, i took a screenshot of 5472 on my system, and it looked kinda the same, so, it's probably real :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/2/#findComment-587818017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WU found all of my devices this time Hmm...my system didn't do glass too well to begin with (but 5472 picked it up just fine), but I do remember I used a method of "tricking" Vista into thinking I had a better videocard. Go in device manager and update your videocard drivers, but choose a better model. I don't recall the exact sequence of clicks, but you want to end up at the screen where you can choose among all the various videocard drivers to install. I have a Nvidia Go5100, but for a time Vista could've sworn I had a 6800 :cool: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/2/#findComment-587818030 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoochieMamma Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 27 minutes from product code to first boot Was that an improvement over the last builds you used? Also, try and get Glass working and take some pics of key areas (ie: Control Panel, computer management etc). Lastly, are you able to change the UI language yet? Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/2/#findComment-587818055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've installed it as well. Glass seems to be default set to be a bit more blueish... Now I have to figure out why my network connection is so flakey on this build... I can get to some sites, but not others... This build took me just under 24minutes to install. A major improvement over 5472 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/2/#findComment-587818057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

primexx Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hm, how are you all installing systems so quickly?

TokyoKiller Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Can someone tell me if Microsoft intends to fix those two icons in the taskbar? The Audio and Networking icons? They seem so un-Vista'ish. When is Microsoft going to stop using all those Windows 95 and 3.1 icons >_>... Ugh...Someone in the BETA send them an email and tell me to fix those icons in the retail release version >.< Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/2/#findComment-587818091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
