the 'writing speed' box is greyed out and fixed at 4x

  

I burned it at 16x so I don't think the speed is that critical, or maybe I was just lucky.

i burned my first disc on a dvd rw ( all i had at the time ) .. didnt realize there were speed warnings, burned at 4x.. i ran into a file copy problem. reburned on another machine later also at 4x and that one installed ok.

I used a free program from download.com (magic cd burner or something like that) to burn the iso.

Vista. so far? "I'm lovin' it". not as slick as osx but its still slick, and very fast. smooth sailing. putting my heavy apps on it now so we'll see how it holds up under fire.

every time i try to burn the ISO something screws up somewhere so im just gonna order the DVD...should be coming in about 2 to 4 weeks...

BSOD during download....continued....fatal error at end....bad CRC. ....then the 2.5 gig simply deleted itself, no temp no nothing.

I think Vista simply doesn't like me....

Jafo,

Send an e-mail with your mailing address (again;I deleted the one from VistaB2) if you want.

Happy to send RC1 32-bit version (huge improvement over B2).

I can now say that I will purchase when released.

Note - disabling UAC in msconfig and setting the warning icon to 'hide' is an easy fix to the only annoyance (other than Adobe not indicating whether they will offer an update/patch to support the Vista platform for CS2 ).

My notebook (Intel Pentium M - 760 Dothan single core) is running quite well - even with the MS reporting processes running in the background. The Office 2007 beta2 TC is also doing just fine.

Office 2007 beta2 TC

Oops, make that 'Office 2007 beta2 TR'.

Send an e-mail with your mailing address (again;I deleted the one from VistaB2) if you want.

Shall do....thanks, mate...

Given your propensity to easily manage BSOD's on a regular basis (a self attributed ability), it would seem Vista's not the only one....apparently XP gets temperamental with you as well.

Sorry, Jafo, but an OS has not yet been created for the race marshall who loves getting under the bonnets of HRT touring cars to ogle/drool over the superior V8's and fuel injectors he'd love to have under his own hood.
