Hi
I have just installed VISTA B2 Public Release on my desktop computer and I
have encountered some problems which I never got in the previous beta builds
and unless I can get these problems sorted out, I will be unistalling it for
XP. I would like to know if anyone else has had these or similar problems
and if so, what needs to be done to rectify the these annoying problems?
OK, VISTA installed fine and when I got to the desktop, Windows found a few
updates for my computer, one was SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio for my
integrated sound card. ALL updates were installed without problems.
After rebooting, I heard the Windows logon sounds, so I knew that the sound
was now working.
As the sound was working fine, I clicked on one of my MP3's tracks and Media
Player v11.0 was opened and although it looked like it was playing in media
player, there was no sound. My sound was turned up both on my speakers and
media player, also in the master volume control, but still nothing was heard.
I then launched Media Center to see if it would play the default music
content of MediaPlayer 11 and it did so without problems.
I found this really weird because in previous builds that I installed, MP3's
and Audio CD's just worked, but now they don't. Anyone got any ideas on
what's going on here?
My computer has exactly the same hardware as before and nothing has been
changed and what puzzles me is that I did not have these problems with
previous BETA builds, so why am I getting them now?
Oh, and by the way, WinUpdate keeps finding the same updates and wants to
install them again and again and again!
The BETA2 Public Release should be a whole lot better than previous internal
builds but from my experience here, it's not the case,
Intel 3.20E GHz 800MHz P4, 1.0GB PC3200 DDR RAM, ATI 9600 AGP Card 256MB DDR
RAM, 2 x Maxtor 133 250GB 16MB Cache UDMA6 drives, 19" LG L1915S Flatron LCD
Monitor.
