Uggghhhh This is killing me!
I downloaded the CTP build 5308 tonight (MSDN). It took MUCH LESS time to
download the ISO than to install! It took less than an hour to download,
but just about 2 1/2 hours to install! But, NOW I can't do ANYTHING!
The computer always end up with a BSOD, which goes away much too quickly to
see what's going on! Every time I restart, it eventually gets into windows,
but once windows is up, I keep getting error messages that the services and
apps running have stopped responding and will shut down. (run DLL as APP,
explorer, etc - you name it, it stops responding!)
I tried to view the drive Vista is installed on so I can install the Geforce
6800 driver, and the Audigy 2 ZS driver I downloaded thru XP. Of course,
that stops responding, then blue screens. I tried to install the drivers in
safe mode, and I kept getting the "stopped responding" errors and these
drivers would not install. So basically, I spent 5 hours tonight, for
NOTHING!
I've installed this on a DELL Dimension 9100 with 2 x 500GB hard drives (no
RAID). I have a total of 8 partitions on the 2 drives. (C: is my XP
drive... I installed Vista on D: (80 GB partition).
Hardware:
Intel 945 Chipset / Pentium D 3.2Ghz
Geforce 6800 256MB PCI- express
Audigy 2 ZS sound card
3 GB total (2 x 1 GB, 2 x 512MB) Dual channel DDR2 533 Mhz DIMMS
9 in 1 Card reader
16x DL DVD +/- R/RW
48X CDRW
external 200GB Firewire drive (Seagate)
Canon LIDE 60 scanner
Konica Minolta 2400W laser
I Think that's about it.....
How do I get this thing running???
