Vista Beta 2 Goes Public Today

Hey I got there :) Looks great, now I need to find my way around. How do I disable the constant pop up for application permission?
I installed it successfully on my ide drive, it didn't like the usb for some reason.
More questions to follow :D
 
I've got Vista X64 installed on a DFI Ultra D.
Installation could have been smoother but may be it's just unfamiliar.

I have found the NVidia drivers completly useless though, I can't find the main setup exe, so they're not properly installed. I've had to extract them and then point vista to the nvidia audio codec. Other wise I had no sound.

Wireless drivers I thought were going to be unavailable as my BT Voyager 1040 card has no drivers on the BTVoyager site. Luckily they were installed when I ran medai centre for the first time. It would have been nicer if Vista installed them at boot though.

Aha, good news.

There is a way to stop it, I read about it, but never actually did it.

Go to

Control Panel
User Accounts
change Security Settings

then untick the box "Use User Acount Control (UAC) to help ptotect your computer"

I think the thing. I unticked it and I've not had any more pop ups.

It keeps making me enter my forum password for ocuk even though I've told it to save it :( Anyone have any ideas?

That'll be a cookie issue of some sort. Maybe add ocuk as a trusted site? :dunno:
 
thanks The $6m Dan, that worked :) I have installed the X-Fi Vista drivers and 2 things;
1/ I can only select 2 speakers, I have 4??
2/ The volume always defaults to 100% on reboot?
Any ideas?
Oh and how do I get to my nVidia driver panel
Thanks :)

Excellent! Glad to help. :)

It was frustrating as hell trying to work out what was wrong! And yeah I did notice that it signed you out if you were on another computer - I was able to use webmessenger and it signed me out of that when I tried to log on properly, all fixed now though :D

Hello mate, the nvidia driver stuff on mine is now in control panel, if you are referring to the display control bits and pieces?

Yeah I've only got 2 speakers at the moment, when I should have 5.1, it's better than none, but not ideal by any stretch.

How did you install your NVidia motherboard drivers?
I couldn't find the main setup exe. With XP I double click the download and it extracts the files to a folder. Once it's done that it runs the install shield, and if it doesn't there's a setup exe that I can click manualy. With Vista though, it extracts the files and then stops, and I can't see the setup exe.
 
has anyone managed to get a SATA hard drive working on an MSI Rd480 mobo or similar. Vista refuses to even see the drive on setup even if a try to point it at the driver diskette.

I think you have to manually install each driver from the zip file.
 
I can't get Deamon Tools to work.

I go through the install process then it says to restart and the install will continue after so I do but then nothing happens.

What version works?

I'm using the latest x86 version on the x86 Vista.
