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.

Keys are avail, but the EN / US 32bit download links do not work the moment!

Help!

What shoud i do if that page says:
"Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Windows Vista Customer Preview Program.

You have received the maximum number of Product Keys available for this program. "

;((  but i lost my BETA 2 key, and i really want to have this RC1 for more than 14 days.....  ;(

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!

The links do indeed work, I just checked them.

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?

PingBack from http://4sysops.com/archives/public-download-of-windows-vista-rc1/

jimithing1980, did you use the akamai downloader? i downloaded entire rc-1 in about an hour and a half using that pipe.

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?

rc-1 quite stable so far, the only real glitch i have experienced is the start button functions. sleep mode resumption degrades the mouse settings. restart up til now is still non-functioning. threst of my experience has been positive. tabbed browsing is cool, gadgets reminds me of the msn premium sidepanel. msn premium internet accounts are not supported, so i have to use ie-7. i heard msn is on the way out? to bad.

Hey Fraser:  you'll want to check with AOL's support staff, as I'm not sure on this one.  As Windows Vista is still unreleased, they may not be able to assist, however.

Hey Shtekeris: if you cannot find the emails that were sent, you might consider signing in with a different Passport/Windows Live ID, with which you can request another 2 PIDs.

Hey someone:  you'll want to check one of the digital media blogs for details -- I'd suggest going to this site and conducting a search on digital media blogs: http://blogs.msdn.com/search/.  You might also check out Sean Alexander's blog at seanalexander.com.

Finally, know that WRT question #2, know that when it comes to digital media, we're more focused on offering choice than restricting access to proprietary formats, be they ours or those of others.

Please help!!!

I installed RC1 but was trying to connect my ti89 calculator with the below software. The software wont install. It's asking for microsoft.net flatform.

I am not that comp savvy. Please help me.

Here is the software i was trying to install.

Hello Lux:  

I've reviewed the instructions for this app and on this page found the following directions on how to install the .NET Framework:

http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/nonProductMulti/download_stepbystep.html

Note: Some of the TI Software Tools will require Microsoft .NET Framework. If you have not installed the Microsoft .NET Framework update, you can download and install it from Microsoft:

1. When your computer is connected to the Internet, click Start > Windows Update.
    Your Web browser opens at the Windows Update Web site.
2. Scan for available updates.
3. Select Microsoft .NET Framework and click “Add”.
4. Click on “Review and Install Updates.”
5. Click on “Install Now”. Windows Update downloads and installs the Microsoft .NET software to your computer.
6. Restart your computer.

It's actually pretty easy to accomplish -- I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply- but I just updated my RC1 to the latest External Developer version of Vista.

My update is complete. No more available updates are there to do.

Still the TI89 program won't install.

Any help?


Thanx


Lux

Hi again Lux:  sounds like an application compatability issue; could you please file this as a bug at connect.microsoft.com?

Hey TH_John:  our IE Team is working with HP to find a resolution for your issue.  But in the imterim we need some more information from you:

•          Description of the problems found; what the user was trying to do when the problem was encountered.
•          Setupapi.dev.log
•          Determination if the user had the device attached when they upgraded?

If you like, you can send this to me via email.

Hi Nick,

I have recently updated my Vista Beta 2 to RC1. Since the update, I am getting the Windows Ecplorer error. "Error: Window Explorer stopped working". the keeps looping. Can you suggest any solutions>

I have tried to run the upgrade with DVD RC1. still has the same problem.

Look forward for your assistance.

Hey talin:  in this case, you may choose to back up your data and run a clean install to eliminate the problem.  This is likely your best course of action until the retail version of Widnows Vista is available next month.

Hi Nick,

I did the clean installation,it is back to normal.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hey again talin:  right on!  Glad to hear it :)

Hey "Nick White",thx for share
