MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted August 29, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'll give it to MS, they really do have cool preview and background pictures. Their photographer is really good.

Dane Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 If a 3rd party application doesn't work... it's the software developers fault. Have you tried a 3rd party app that can do the same job instead? Gaim and trillian i cant get to work either, which to me is good because i dont like either one of them. It just sucks this far along that they dont work, hopefully the next build.

»X« Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Can anyone shed some light into why exactly NOD32 and other popular AV programmes etc dont run? It ****es me off as like alot of you, Ive paid for NOD32 and to be told I cant run it... although as people have mentioned its using common sense to avoid viruses it would still be nice to have an AV programme.

NOD32 screws up the TCP/IP stack in Vista. Of course, you can always just turn off IMON.

tronmaster Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Okay, Im using Pre-RC1 and I must say it's running great on my setup, triple booting at this moment between Win XP, Win XP 64 and Pre-RC1. I finally got sound! Previously my Creative Labs sound card would crash Beta 2. I am installing WoW to see if it can play. Hoping RC1 will be great. I am definately buying the Ultimate Edition when it comes out next year!

Lurky Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 A few quick questions before installing this. I have it mounted with Alcohol 120% and it seems alright, though I could be wrong. Is it possible for a clean install off this? Options were Upgrade and Custom. I do not want to upgrade. The other option says "Custom" which says it will erase everything, I assume this is the same as a fresh installation. I'm wondering if it's possible to do that with it mounted on Alcohol 120%. A fresh installation. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/15/#findComment-587835925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fresh installation. Installing from a virtual drive is A-OK. Setup won't require the disc after the intial copying. It's how i do it otherwise i wouldn't be able test the thing at all except for milestones.

Lurky Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've heard a few bad things about nvidia drivers. I just downloaded 88.61_forceware_vista_x86_international, I want to know if this is good for Vista 5536 and a 6800 GT? I heard something about a black screen or whatever it was. Also, I noticed the CPU jumps sometimes, is there a fix for that? Or recommended ways to tweak the system?

Indeed, those drivers are going to give you a black screen on build 5536 and 5552 as far as we know. Stick with the OS supplied drivers and wait for NVIDIA to release new drivers, my guess is that these will come out with the RC1 release. In the meantime you should be able to run some games(with a little bit performance loss). CPU jumping is probably indexing service or something like that, this will dissapear after a while.

Grope for Luna Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) It was messing around with the shift key and closing windows that seems to have caused this problem. Toggling with the shift key didn't work, however. EDIT: OK, I opened a different drive with filenames displayed and made it the default view in Folder Options. I just noticed if you press shift when right-clicking on a folder that you get two new commands on the context menu - Open Command Window Here and Copy As Path. IE doesn't seem to want to connect to Adobe to download Flash/Shockwave. I had to open Firefox and download it. Hmmm...

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted August 31, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2006 Windows seems to be turning into Mac....slow and pretty. Yea OS X is pretty damn fast and efficient when it comes to speed, at least for me. And considering that I can run 12 programs at once including dreamweaver, aperture, and photoshop, and still not have any noticeable sluggishness on my aging G4 PowerBook, I'd say its pretty damn fast, lol.

M118LR Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Upgrade from 5536.16384 or something else?

DG55 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Regardless of hardware, OSX just feels slow, moving windows, moving the cursor, scrolling pages, even the minimise 'genie effect' is way too bloated, and just takes too long - its just a case of slowly does it. The good thing about Vista is it retains its fast Windows style feel.
