Rite i have the public beta and it installs fine after a little help off nvyseal, but now i have it installed it jus randonly locks up and dsnt do anything at all, any suggestions.

When you say lock up do you mean you can't move the mouse only..or does anything weird happen like flickering or other graphics problems? Also what kind of graphics card do you have? And lastly, when does it usually lock up?

let me look just a bit, MS released a few XP drivers for VISTA (legacy), but we need more system specs from you, Please.

Ethernet? Sound?

not enough ram, for one thing. you are running off the pagefile, which is very slow compaired to ram. after
trimming down vista, i am still running 743 megs at idle. you should have at least a gig. this looks to be the
reason for your problems, unless you have a bug, overheating problems, etc.

No overheatin problems, and the ram is fine at 512mb for the reason i have run the builds before the public one without any problems at all.

And to nvyseal

Ethernet is "sis chipset"
Sound "Realtec AC97"

No drivers that can help you, is it possible to let us see your device manager?

Ram wouldnt do that - vista scales with what it has available to it ... hence why the minimum is 512 ... the more ram the faster your apps will go and the faster your system. His problem isnt his ram its likely a hanging driver or something ...id point to sound or ethernet... likely sound. You do however need to take know with where the problem begins ..does it start after u install a specific driver or program.

It just hangs within 5 minutes of use, but the soun is a bit crackely so that could be the problem?

i was under the assumption the problems were occuring after a fresh install, no additional drivers. and where do you get this "scales with" and "minimum"? with the plethora of services/ debugging gunk, running off the swap
is not desirable, and can cause exactly what PSP767 is complaining of. it sure could be a driver(s), and i would also like to know if additional drivers/apps were installed, if any, prior to system instablity issues. really, you can't tell me running a bloated beta OS on the swap is issue free
