   Help.
   Just installed VISTA candidate 1 and now:
   1) my HP 4110 all in one printer is no longer working.
   2) HP says that the problem stems from IE 7.0 and they are working on a fix but in the meantime they suggested that I
   A) remove IE 7.0,
   B) Install 6.0
   C) perfrom a level 3 uninstall of the exisiting HP driver software
   BUT...
   1) It appears that I (system admin of my own machine) lack the authority to remove IE 7.0
   2) You can't reinstall 6.0 over 7.0
   3) I can't reinstall my previous XP home OS since VISTA ensures there is no going back.
   4) I can't even find IE 7.0 in my list of installed programs using VISTA's control panel.
   
   In addition to the chock-full-of-fun I'm having trying to undo the voodoo that you do so well, I am also having issues with other program that had previously been working under XP sp2.  
   
   System restores are worthless and other than scrubbing the hard drive, I am beginning to think I've made a grave mistake.
   
   Sincerely-
   TH_John
   
   PS I am jealous.

   TH_John,
   
   You can not uninstall IE 7 and install IE 6 in Vista.
   
   That HP "support" person is just ignorant.

   installed rc1 today, so far so good. a couple of driver issues and had to deep six roxio backup mypc. when windows one care becomes available for vista the roxio program will be redundant anyway. one thing, it seemed funny that "msn premium", does not work with vista. that seemed a little ludicrous but hey ms is a big company. looks like ie-7 for the time being. beautiful interface!

   I was wondering if AOL's antivirus software works with Vista RC1

   I have been trying since last evening at 5:00 EST and the website has said "Page Cannot Be Displayed" every time.  I'm just going to the main page, selecting my country, and hitting Go - from there I just get a page that seems to be down.  I've tried this from multiple computers with the same problem.  Is something wrong here?

    1.  Does Windows Presentation Foundation support all video formats and container types supported by DirectShow?
    2.  Does Microsoft care about other audio-video formats and their extensibility or just want to lock customers to WMA/WMV? MS does seem to care about non-MS image formats (JPG, PNG, RAW..) and document formats (PDF, ODF etc).
    3.  Will an AVI-replacement along with new replacements for Video for Windows and ACM come in the next version of Windows post Vista?
