Last nite i got a chance to install Vista, It took a little while, but it did install without me once touching the computer. After a little cruise around, i found it to be very plush and easy to learn. I did notice a few bugs but they will get ironed out.

I will post a few screen shots here as a tour around Vista! Feel free to post yours!
Also feel free to post bugs you find or buggy screen shots too

as soon as i get a chance to install it, i won't hesitate to post screenies

[stevenaxe]

it's running well and smooth I'll post screen shots thursday night, when I have time to actualy play around with it...been real busy

well, dwm won't display...how do you bypass it in 5270?

[Neon]

Remember the other builds had the machine check for DWM in them?

Well all you need to do is turn it off in this build...here is how.

Create UseMachineCheck, put that in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\DWM.

Hopefully that should work.

*i see no reason this won't work for 5259 if its correct for 5270*

[stevenaxe]

Thanks I didn't use 5259, but I heard that they changed the way user settings worked for 5259...i didn't know that it was in HKCU...\DWM now...thanks again

Edit: It didn't work

Only been using it 2 or 3 hrs, but so far, seems to have many inprovements, even my onboard sound works, so far , have been very impressed. PS, has even updated itself once

[m.oreilly]

yep, updated hardware fast, much more stable than previous betas...
still 40 minutes install on a raptor can't wait for raid

...and WMP still is goofy (using MC, everything is smooth).

untill now. 5219 was way less buggy (yes, these are early betas). a waste of time
to download/install atm. just reformatted the 5270 drive hopefully beta 2 will
give a real picture of things to come. 778 megs @ idle i don't get it...even 5259
was way less buggy. i am not a rocket surgeon

Well, as soon as possible (IDK when gamer will get it) i will tell you guys

[clarky3429]

there are a lot of improvements to the way it runs, but there are still some inefficiencies, bugs and i think that the log on screen sucks compared to the black one that used to be! overall a 7/10 id give it

[m.oreilly]

yeah, after reinstalling it this morning, and having no high expectations,
i would agree with clarky, 7/10. i just like listening to tunes whilst fiddling
about, so if anyone has a player they like that doesn't crash, please post
and/or PM me i hope everyone has fun with it.
