Hello All,

Here is what I found out.........today.

1. IF you have any anti-virus on the Beta 2, Unstall it.
I had McAfee 8.0i installed with Beta 2. (per thier instuctions)
and it crashed on the final leg of UPdating to the Pre-RC1
"Finalizing Installation", it then reverted back to the Beta release.

2. When I Insatlled a new copy of the PRe-RC1 in renamed the Beta
installation
windows.old and a new fresh working installation up and running.
TILL I INSTALLED MCAFEE 8.0i per McAFee. that is where it blows up.
"BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" (Amazing that it still exists)
You need to go into SAFEMODE and then Services then Disable the McAFee
startups.

It will be on your system but the system will start once you reboot.

Problem, You will not be able to unistall what was put on becauise it did
not finsih the installation procedure.
Which in turn you cannot install the FEEDBACK form application cause it says
the Anti virus is not running but you can't unistall it....

So, do a fresh install and stay away from McAfee 8.0i till tehy get it
straighted out.

Why does'nt Microsoft have a Trial Period with thier LIVE ONE CARE....?

Purchased product says it supports VISTA....(Unless False Adverstiment)
