A Place To list Vista Beta 2 Problem

Re:

Hello,

Slow booting up and especially shutting down, although it is a beta version. Vista informs me that performance issues are due to driver issues.

No available audigy sound blaster driver for build 5384.4 yet. Using a Windows XP driver and although it works, the audio distrorts sometimes.

Explorer has crashed several times...but other than that, it's working okay .

I would gather its your sound drivers that are cusing the issue. Try uding the kX Project Drivers. This is what i use for sound with my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and it works fine.

i'm starting to believe that the fact that i have vista installed within VMware is causing my problems. the nvidia driver will not install and it is telling me that the OS system i am running is not windows vista

i can't quite figure this problem out

I'm going to try this one. I tried the vista x64 driver earlier. this one is made specific to beta 2

I really like Vista but yeah it has problems. it was always going to. My main problems are just within games though so its not too bad.
In COD2 i get kicked from Pb enabled servers with an error saying "inadequate O/S privileges" when i have admin rights. and in UT2004 my settings reset everytime it is loaded up which is a pain.

I hooked my analog vga cord (I was using dv-I) up and restart the machine after installing the vista 64 bit drivers. I have a screen now. I going to unhook it to see if that was it.

it rebooted to the default 1280 X 1024 resolution, though

I hate it.

It doesnt co-operate on my system. It's probably because my system is underpowered for Vista.

Also drivers are hard to find. It's better to use a transformation pack with XP installed.
