soundx98 Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Just finished x32 RC1 DL. x64 version at 50%. Has anyone done an upgrade from Beta 2 or 5536 or is everyone doing a clean install? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyvie Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I registered and activated beta 2 and 5536 but never got any emails other than the first one with my key. No matter, the download link is now public... http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/rc1/en/download.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centy Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Actually I read that page wrong, it is saying to go back and check your original email, presumably for the key you where sent with beta2. If you have problems activating i.e: This product key is in use, you can phone up the toll free number to activate. I did it myself earlier this evening. I thought this thread would be really active today, what are all you vista d00ds doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Install (without RAID) was totally painless. started off the virtual drive, entered my Beta 2 key, and 30 minutes later I was at the desktop. Found both wireless right off but I noticed second monitor was off. Did windows updayte for NV Sound and then went to ATI's site and the RC1 driver is definately better. No issues with MBM5 but for some reason it is displaying Core 0, 1, and 2 Usage? Everesyt working like a champ. Vista complained aboutr Power DVD and Nero 6 but loaded em both and they are working fine. Very painless - gonna do some tweaking and I'll report in tomorrow. I'm doing x32 this time not x64 (but I got it downloaded just in case). expires May 31st, 2007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centy Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 I got sick of not being to listen to music for more than 5 minutes without it slowing down/crackling. So I went into device manager and removed the nvidia audio drivers. I then installed the realtek vista beta drivers from here Vista Beta Driver Beta Version 2006/08/22 26354k I haven't heard a crackle since! but I can't help feeling that the tracks I am hearing are speeded up ever so slighty, so slight that I'm not even positive that it is happening, but I think it is. Slight change of pitch on peoples voices. I much prefer a feeling of a bit of speedup to completely inaudible slowing music though. Try it out, is it just me going mental? I've tried everything I can think of to make it crackle too by the way, visiting tokyoplastic.com flash site while scrolling up and down a huge dfi-street thread, downloading from http, back and forward in web browser like crazy, minimising and maximising media player, messing with graphics equalizer etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Downloading RC1 64Bit German right now (8 1/2 hours to go...) Any problems with Logitech G15? Gipse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centy Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Is it just me or are we all getting terrible divx/avi playback? The picture is pixelated and within 10 seconds slows down to unwatchable 15fps i'd say. Gonna try a DVD with powerdvd right now. EDIT: Nah DVD's are fine, I guess it's a codec issue or something. Which brings me to my next question. Anyone know a good codec pack for vista, I've tried DefilerPak and Klite codec pack 2.77 so far, both display the pixelation and slowdown issues. EDIT2: I've just realised that the pixelation/playback issues only occur when viewing on my TV. I can play a DVD on it with no performance issues, but pixelation is there. I can play a divx on my monitor with no performance issues or pixelation, but performance quickly goes from normal to unwatchable when displayed on the TV.. interesting.

Guest oRiOn Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 I dont know if this works for Vista, but I would try the CCCP pack. Just google CCCP codec pack and you should get many sites with it hosted. I use CCCP over the K-Lite, -Will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
