Hi,
I installed Vista and IE doesn't work. I tried a clean install and that
works better, But a few programs works. My main program doesn't work,
QuickBooks, I guess I will wait for the new computer.Even Windows live Care
doesn't work.
Also tried to install Office 2007 beta2 no go. Reinstalled Windows xp that
works well. So bye , bye vista. The nightmare is over . Also dumped IE 7.0
beta2 , and I'm back to normal.

Betas installed

1. Windows Defender beta2
2. One Care
3. Windows Live messenger 8.0 beta

no errors

And all is well.
 
First off, I hope you don't put a live Quickbooks install on a beta OS! That
wouldn't be good.

Second, what kind of errors did you get when trying to run the other
programs?
 
Hi,
Yep I did, Don't say it. I planning to start a new business and I did not
have any data in it. I ran the Vista upgrade advisor
And it said update the display drivers on the clean install it worked fine
and then run the windows update page a few times and the IE 7.0 froze on me.
Got the not responding program and then I thought I'll try the upgrade
intall was ok and then tried to windows update page the IE froze. Could not
get on the IE for nothing to update my display drivers.
 
Hi,
I don't think IE updates has updated drivers for any particular video cards,
you should, if you haven't yet, check the video card manufacturers website
for vista drivers, most manufacturers have updated drivers for most of their
equipment. However not all updates will work correctly. I have a Creative
labs Audigy platinum EX sound card, i installed their vista drivers, the card
works but no sound from the speakers, installed the XP drivers, no problem.
Check to see if their are any bugs in the software as well.
