Vista is running !!! hehehe

[Guest]

Hi all , i just thought that i would share my Vista RC1 experience with you
so far

installation was perfect completed in about 30 -45 minutes

i was very suprised to see that Vista actually searched & installed every
driver
automatically , exactly what did it do ???

i dont really know , if it actually downloaded them or copied them over from
the XP Pro OS (this is more likely !)

i did not have to use my manufacturer CD nor did i download anything myself

a big hoorah !!! too Asus , ATI , AMD & Realtek

only problem that i did encounter was installing Anti Virus , Kaspersky &
Avant
it seems that Vista doe's not allow 3rd party software , some of us have
already read the press releases about this !

& Nero 7 Premium would not install either

but all other programs installed & are working perfectly , iam a
web-designer & programmer so, all Adobe & Macromedia , are my main programs &
are working perfectly !

now Vista RC1 being still a beta , there are many features i would not even
dare to try , like Speech Recongnition " dont want a sudden bug happening &
getting locked out of my computer

& the many networking features "for security reasons" ...but so far running
& executing internet applications are working very good

the administration settings really got my head banging on the computer
it took me awile to figure out all the Administration settings & i think
this will be 80% of user's problems , Microsoft did go abit over the top !

but i can now delete , install & edit files after configuring my Admin
access ;o)

ill keep you all up to date with any future problems ...but so far things
are looking pretty good man )

Glad it went well.
Norton does not work with Vista. The following all do; TrenMicro pC-cillin
but it uses masses of cpu at startup. AVG and Avast work with both 64 bit &
32 bit versions. Avast Home is free. AVG has a free 1 month trial. They may
have a free version too. Colin

Hey Spirefm ...sorry typo , i meant Avast ...Avast really its working for you
?? ...i get a compadility error , but my version may be abit out-dated

ill try again , i never put anything cracked or trial in my computers

 

[Guest]

Yes download the latest Avast Home edition. I wouldn't expect an old version
to wok with Vista. Colin

 

[Guest]

Don't forget that Vista ia trial! It is a long way from being perfect. Colin

 

[Guest]

yes of course , you are correct ...i have have posted many times encouraging
users to not make Vista RC1 there default OS

i really dont understand why people are performing ugrades !
for me Vista needs its own partition & let it do its thing

& to go into msconfig & make sure that it boots along with XP

even though i see that it completely hogs everything , but i did notice a
huge difference in loading , between Vista default boot & XP/Vista boot

but it almost looks like Microsoft finally released a pretty good Beta for
some systems & it can be used as a regular home use OS

iam really amazed as to how good it actually runs

Can You tell us EXACTLY what You did to be able to "delete , install & edit
files after configuring Your Admin access"? In other words, how EXACTLY did
You configure Your Administration privigeles to be able to install, edit, and
delete files? Thanks

Since you have a legit nero 7 key google and download nero lite. It works
with RC1.
