Vista Beta 2 Goes Public Today

Right got it and installed it and first impressions are good. I like the new areo interface looks so much more polished than previous bulids. The only thing I cant get to run at the moment is the creative audio console for my xfi fatality but hopefully that should be sorted out by the time vista ships.
The only problem I have is the user acount control which keeps poping up every time you want to install or run anything.
Im also suprised on how smooth it runs I only have what you`d call mid range hardware which is as follows :
Amd 4200 x2
ati x800xl 256mb graphics
2gb ram
2x western digital 250gb hard drives
xfi fatality sound card

Ohh just remembered that the page file and mem usage gets hammered quite a bit but by the time vista ships companys such as crucial should have 2gn mem sticks out so hopefully 4gb memory systems should be the norm (well like 2gb is now anyway)
 
Stupid checker.

Either
a) upgrade your graphics adapter to one that has TV output or
b) connect via an Xbox 360 or other Windows Vista-compatible media center extender

I have both of them. :/

And, you call that mid range. :rolleyes: 1.5gb's should be good for running it.

UAC is pretty annoying in its current incarnation. It's quite easy to turn off though.


how do you disable uac? is it an oprion in control panel, downloading at the moment, so cannot check lol.

It was annoying me on another beta i had, but i didnt look into disabling it as i couldnt get sound drivers for my laptop at the time.

The link is correct. There is a problem with some people getting a 13Mb file - possibly down to a bad cache somewhere.

Hey guys, does anyone have a link to the 64 bit version so I can set it downloading before i go back to work? Will the 64 bit see a big improvement over the 32 bit version?

Cheers for any help.
