   hi all,   from some days i am trying to install SP1 RC1 for windows vista.   The strange thing is that the installer seems to freeze every time at the same point(look at the screen) and didnt go Forward. I try even with windows update but the instalation freeze at 50% at the stage 1.   Any solution to resolve this problem?   I have vista ultimate 32 bit retail

   Hi NS2K,

   >Curiously why are you so set on EFI based machines, surely there are advantages and disadvantages to this technology?

   Surely ;) If you're really interested, check out this MS video (ref'd in the following post) with a couple of their lead developers. About 10 mins into the video, they start talking about some of the really significant benefits of EFI. ~Brad

After N number fo trials, I concluded that the USB dongle (USB Wireless LAN Adapter) which is bundled with the projector, the vista compatible drivers are not available.  I spoke to sony also but nothing is coming out.

   I have installed the windows updater and ran things, I must say, it was horrible downloading it :-(

   Windows Updater keep crashing on me and when I finally do get it, it was extremely slow and BSOD me when I try to shut down.

   I had to system restore back to the version it was, however my system restores, pre to downloading the file for windows update is gone. So now I am stuck with windows update getting the Vista SP1 Rc on windows update.

   Is their a way to get it back to its original state ?

   I will only be happy with Vista SP1 if it fixes these three things

   1. PnP

   2. Time to run exe files that are 500mb+

   3. My damn graphic card compatibility lol...(Though I think that has to do with the Bios :P)

   Even with SP 1 for Vista the manufactures still have to catch  up  with Vista

   Case in point HP Compaq NX 6325 built in card reader is very tempermental with Vista sometimes it works and sometimes it will ask you to format you SD card, though HP has released an updated driver for Vista there is still the issue ,for me that is why  I have to stick with Windows XP till this is corrected,  which is too bad I started to enjoy Vista but I do need this card reader working ,  

   I hope  the engineers at Microsoft can correct this

   This is the latest driver from HP  Web site

   Type: Driver - Storage

   Version: 2.0.0.7 A (9 Mar 2007)

   Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows Vista Business (32-bit), Microsoft Windows Vista HomThis package contains the driver for the Texas Instruments PCI (TI-PCI) 6x12/7x12 Cardbus (Media Card Reader) for the supported notebook models and operating systems.

   Again I do not know what the issue and why it is having the issue , I have emailed HP but nothing ,

   If the issue can be corrected I will install  Vista again

    Hi,

    I get a new laptop, with XP installed for higher costs, I decide to take Vista Business. Oh god, what a bad decision.

    I only need few minutes to find out, that this machine is absolutly useless. I cant copy simple files from my other XP systems to Vista. There is something with streams and NTFS.

    Maybe its good for security reasons, but how safe is a useless machine?

    Please, tell me, which is the right way to get XP and Vista-systems working together without problems?

    THANKS

    Gerhard

    If there is no solution available, Vista is dead.
