snugglealufacus Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 DX10 will be Vista only, as most of XP's core would have to be rewritten in order to function properly with DX10 installed. MS has this dilemna that it faces everytime they want to move on to the next stage of computing and release new software, not only OSs or DirectX, but Games and other software also; Do we keep the majority of users happy and keep backwards compatibility, but risk losing performance and security? Or, do we leave the old technology behind and push for tighter security and faster performance, either way someone will classy lady... who makes us more money? And that the way the cookie crumbles.... LOL JK Advancement in technology always has my vote. But I don't buy Dells and use IE, or pay for AOL when I already have a cable ISP so I am not part of that majority. Usually MS has taken the safe road, It's about time they step up their game, and risk having "Bob from accounting" call tech support 3 times a week crying he can't go screwing around in control panel or install his games from home at work. just to add to this. the only thing that you can not updrage through a download is your hardware (which would be cool.. "oh look! i can download the new 7900GTX!!"). so why dont the hardware manufactures just make new firmware and software upgrades for say, all the products they have produced from the last 3-5 years? it would be a lot of work, but it will pay in the end and it would be easier than them expecting for everyone to buy the AMD FX-70 or the Nvidia 8200GT or w/e.

Spyvie Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 click on properties and start menu > customize > and make sure "run command" is checked so it appears in panel. then do this You don't have to enable the run command, you can type most anything into the search field and hit enter, it will run.

racinjimy Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 no luck getting the files copied and expanded with a Plextor SATA DVD drive you would think a new OS would have SATA drivers all set to go vista installer takes about 15 minutes to start up and then sits and "extracts" install files for hours........... so I need to go get an IDE drive and not use my raid array for vista install to go smoothly.........some upgrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFlame Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Have installed the 32bit version and have "luckily" gotten all the drivers to work, except for the Nvidia driver to get the SLI to work... The sli option doesn't show up in the Nvidia Control Panel as their own help file states it does...everything else seems to be running ok, dl'd the beta for winVistB2 from them......any tips? Oh, and the bcdedit thing didn't work for me..says it can't open the boot file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
