hmm not for me on rc1 it gave me a blue screen. and now i cant remove it.
 
I don't understand why since 5536 and 5552 are so close in build Trend isn't
working. It works fine for me with 5536:

5536 version of : 6.0.5536.16385 (vista_rc1.060821-1900)
5552 complete version of : 6.0.5552.16384 (vista_rc1.060822-1900)

Translation date only difference between the two can be seen a day were 21
and 22.

If any of you mavens can discern differences in these builds (I'm sure there
are some) I'd like to hear what.

Is there a possibility that MS is trying to drum up business for it's One
Care Live (it even has Windows Live as a second tab on IE Explorer) and thus
has made it really difficult for all the antivirus programs to work? Avast
and CA EzVirus worked fine on Beta2 and now both come up with compatibity
problems and won't work. Even Avast is giving me problems, as I reported in
an earlier post.

All of them worked before the builds 5536 and 5552. I have Trend working
great on 5536 and 5552 was a build a few hours newer which obviously has
some changes but how many and major I don't know. You would think odds are
that Trend might work on 5552 since it works on a build hours earlier. You
might try it if you haven't.


MSFT does a lot to drum up business, as you can see by making interim builds
available as well as milestones to the public to whom it extends very little
in the way of bug access.

I don't know that your theory is in their plans, but for a company who
promotes "eating their own dogfood" and preaches they are doing things to
get other companies Vista compatible the ability of the One Care Live team
to make One Care Vista Compatible since its Beta started 2 years ago and
Vista's TBT is over a year old is nothing short of incompetent. It's really
in the water on the Redmond campus these days with respect to Vista.

how did you get trend to work on pre-rc1 5536 cause when i install there
PC-cillinâ„¢ Internet Security 14.56 i get the blue screen and then i have to
remove it?? so could you explain how you have it working?
 
Windows Explorer was verrrrrrry slow in build 5384. Build 5552 is
almost as responsive as it is in XP.

How is it in 5536?

It *must* be better, because I am NOT noticing it <VBG> now.

I would agree that the overall speed is close to what I was used to on
XP pro. Shutdown takes about twice as long as XP on the same machine.
 
I'm taking a wait and see attitude.
Windows Explorer ran quite smoothly at first in 5384 and then slowed down to
a crawl. I'm waiting to see how it does in 5536 after app installations and
over time.

My build rc-1 5536 the CA eTrust does work. I know the compatability things
says it does not. But after talking to Computer Associates I clicked run
program anyway. MS Defender balked but it did install and seems to be
working fine. Course it's only been a day but it seems if I am going to have
a problem on the second or third boot it will show up.

Prior to actually installing eTrust I had tried AVG and Avast and
installation would stop and it would not let me go on. In fact there was no
run program button on the compatability wizard.
