bluehaze Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Java doesnt work on Vista...Has any one tried it and got it working... or how to change the compatability to XP... Java works for me, you have to install java for netscape though, strange i I know but the way I got it working was to go to a Java page with Active X controls and it will ask you to install Java for netscape proceed with the installation and you can now view Java. The Aero glass doesnt work with Java but Windows handles it streamlessly it turns it off when you go to a Java enabled website and then turns it back on when you close the browser. Pretty neat.

Guest Kobalt Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I think he meant; How come MS didn't release 5456 to the public, and MS is still collecting some irrelevant data from 5384 as some of those issues have been resolved in 5456. Yes, this is what I meant. I was reading some other blogs, and the difference between the version that MS let the public try, to the latest version available is like night and day. Sure seems like a ton of wasted testers/bandwidth & resources to not have the latest build available to all. Yeah, you might have to redownload a few more GB, but for those that got it before, that isn't really a issue. Matter of fact, I don't know what the purpose of keeping such a old build of vista around will do? It serves no real purpose at all.

soundx98 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 more issues could surface at a later date that would affect newer builds. actually the new x64 5456 is only 3/4 oif the size of the original Beta 2 (3.1G vs 4.1G) some of the drivers are no longer in the OS but instead available through Windows Update.

madian225 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 is there a way to get there original 1.0 diskette files back? i had to delete that disk to make room for the new ones off the dfi site.... I would contact DFI support (e-mail) and ask them by far the easiest thing to do, out of pure curiosity is this anything to do with Vista?? I am assuming the you have copied the Vista RAID drivers onto the original floppy disk?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmorcos Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 You're also not using hitachi drives ... there aren't very many people having this problem, so I'm really just trying to find the common denominator, which may be the hitachis. I didn't read beyond your entry yet on page two...but I wanted to let you know that I also have two hitachis on the NV raid and an having the same failures. Do you think we can install on the silicon drives and then plug the others back in and make it work? thx for your observations...saving me a lot of headaches.

snugglealufacus Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 w00t! i think i made a record, had a BSOD less than one day after installing vista lol. it happened while using the windows picture and fax viewer (or whatever they changed the name to). info below.. Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BLUESCREEN OS Version: 6.0.5384.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 119 BCP1: 0000000000000001 BCP2: 0000000000005D27 BCP3: 0000000000005D28 BCP4: 0000000000005D28 OS Version: 6_0_5384 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 256_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:WindowsMinidumpMini071306-01.dmp C:UsersSnuggAppDataLocalTempWER-57125-0.sysdata.xml Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50163&clcid=0x0409 also what i have noticed is that with build 5384, if you have a folder expanded in the my programs on the start menu and you try to delete it, it wont delete. you have to collapse the folder in order to delete it.

soundx98 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I don't think anyone has mentioned the picture editing tools build into Vista. They are pretty basic can do the job most of the time. They are all built into "Gallery Viewer" (click on Fix) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReelFiles Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 @ soundx Yeah, I think MS could have put a bit more effort into their basic apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
