Post-install problems - Pre RC1

[Beck]

Got a few problems post install which I never had with Beta2. Note, this is
an install on a clean D partition.

First and foremost, MS have not fixed the problem with the Realtek AC97
sound drivers they provide automatically. Go into anywhere like control
panel and you get a pop up box saying that the sound drivers are not
compatible with Vista. Why they are including the driver I do not know. I
had to install the XP ones.

Secondly I cannot run the performance rating tool. At the end of the
assessment I get an error saying something like "assessment could not
complete do to error reported from operating system, driver or some other
component". I got this error on assessment before I changed the sound
drivers and after.

Lastly, I have a videocard problem. If I try and run the Windows DVD maker
it gives a pop up to say my videocard does not meet the minimum
requirements. My video chipset lists as Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS/910GML
Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - XDDM) - I have it set in the
bios to use 128mb.
If I go to DVD maker help topics it doesn't tell me what the minimum
requirements are, it just tells me to check my details in the device
manager.

Can anyone assist with these please? I can send a feedback report, but I
was looking for a quicker fix.

I get the ac97 sound drivers popup, also.

I got rid of the popup by installing the XP sound drivers, but something is
causing the problems with the other things.

So did I. I got a set of sound drivers that did not work from the Vista
install. So I just installed the sound driver the mobo manufacturer provides
on their website for XP. The install routine for the mobo sound drivers is
refused first time 'round, then Vista offers to install them again using
some "compatible" settings. Once done the second time, the sound works.
