Wew! after my last recent Vista posts and using the version i BROUGHT i decided to look at RC1 and download it after browersing and starting to download RC1 i found RC2 and im over the moon
In my eyes the Latest thing is the bestest thing
So instead of an Fresh install im going to upgrade and hope things work and my GFX Works
Anyone else using RC Versions?

In other news, kangaroo's have been sighted at the north pole.
I downloaded RC1 and i burned the ISO to a DVD Disc and like did an upgrade during windows and it got an error about 52% so i booted up the disc deleted my HD and it whizzed through the stage with the 52% problem
And im thinking woo!!
Then As its on Expanding files it gets to 65% and i get another error *CRYS*
Any ideas on what i do?
Im going to try get a copy of a MSDN thingy guy tomorrow but this is the second time something like this has happened to me on different versions awhile i got errors too Do you think its my Discs?? there DVD-Rs so i cant use the same one but i just dont get it *crys*
It will be that the PC isn't supported by Vista, something on it is making errors.
I had this with all the betas on m P4, RC1 is the first it worked with!
Whats your specs? I *might* be able to pick out the thing causing it... no gaurantees though, bear in minds its a pre-release. It does need ALOT of system power.
Plus half the programs you own won't work - are you SURE you want to do this?
I got a friend at school to make me a copy and its running fine and with XP!
right click on the desktop, view, classic icons.
Any other little tricks i should know about ?
Have you tried turning on the aero effects?
TBH, it's all been cosmetic so far. I've seen nothing that betters XP from an admin/config view.
I do too like the 3D scroll thing
oh, and I like that Mahjong is included in the games. I'm sick of minesweeper.
well a small run down of my Current Laptop
GFX: 256
Ram: 1 Gig
Intel Centrion Solo Processor 1.86GHz
GFX - Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (256Mg) (although I wish it had a Nvidia Quadro)
RAM - 1024MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Pro - Intel® Centrino® Duo T2500 2.0GHz
:cool:
What make is your laptop?
Used the snipping tool to make the screen grab. :thumb:
If it didn't have a Radeon 7000. WHY should an OS need DX9 spangly power? Its stupid.
M 9600 Pro is in m parents PC. My dad needs it more than the old PC, lol.
Boo You!! Dell are very good at what they do and make good Computers / Laptops
I brought my probley afew months ago so mines got the Sticker too - This time it installed perfectly!
Their laptops are fine, but I still prefer a bit of boycotting
When they dont explode into flames! :eek2:
Regardless of how good or bad there machines are they have the shittest customer support known to man. I have lots count the amount of customers that have paid us to fix there dell machine which is under warrently rather than get dell to fix it for free because they are shit at what they do.
So they set out a brand new one free of charge with the OS And all sorts of CDS
Was Brill!
If it was a virus... then a format would have cleared the problem. Unless the virus was on some sort of external media / drive still plugged in, or another partition, or you were just that unlucky to get infected twice in a row! :razz:
In all fairness with any company big or small... some people are going to have great experiences with them, some are going to say there utter shite. I have personally never owned a Dell, i'm just going from my experiences at work.
If they provided good support to you then your lucky in my opinion!
