Being a newbie of admittedly severely limited mental capacity, but always wanting the latest things, I love any beta release of anything. Here are some tips that will help some people with their struggles to enjoy Vista Beta 2.
1. It is a Beta. If it worked perfectly, had all the drivers you need, and so on and so forth, it wouldn�t be a Beta. The whole purpose of a Beta is so that a group of people can TEST the software and find the problems. So when you find a problem, that�s the whole point!
2. Search the forum and the internet for an answer or at least an existing dialogue of your particular issue BEFORE posting a question. Andre and Zack are extremely busy, answering redundant, redundant questions and commenting on our inability to read. If they only have to deal with the same issue 300 times instead of 400 times, they will have more time to deal with your issue, the one that is more important than any other.
3. If your hardware, the �Unobtanium Does Everything� thing won�t work, that usually means that the Unobtanium Corporation hasn�t done their job to help you. First see item 2. Then go to Unobtanium�s support sites. Microsoft didn�t build the thing, and if they had the drivers, they would have included them in the Beta to start with. Either that, or Microsoft is out to get you, personally, and is doing this to you on purpose.
4. Will �Whizbang�s� software be compatible? Will it rain next Friday at 2:46pm? Who knows? Try it, and if it works, great, if it doesn�t, complain to Whizbang. I never expected my Atari 2600 to run Coleco games, after all�
5. For this Beta, Windows Vista, do yourself a favour and do a clean install. Empty partitions are great for this. Don�t have one? See item 2. Don�t know what a partition is? See item 2. Don�t know how to make a new partition? See item 2. Need software to make a partition? See item 2. Too inept or scared to try to make a new partition? Well, the world needs grocery baggers too, I suppose. You�ll be so much farther ahead without old drivers and .dll�s cluttering up the install you will make your goofy brother-in-law very jealous. The one with his dishwasher networked in to his toaster-oven with Wi-Fi.
6. Back-up everything. Twice. Then back that up. Then install. Don�t upgrade.
7. Don�t like Vista? �C:\ FORMAT�. It�s the only way. You did back up all you stuff, right?
8. Buy the DVD instead of downloading. It�s less than $20.00. You have enough in change between the couch and your car ashtray. First of all, you then have somebody to blame besides yourself if it doesn�t work. Second of all, there�s a rumour that it has �bloopers� at the end for your enjoyment.
9. Just a thought, but if you lack the technical expertise to burn an ..iso to a DVD successfully, what makes you think you can load SATA drivers during a botched install from a floppy you don�t have? And now you�ve overwritten some of your existing operating system because you tried to upgrade instead of doing a clean install. You did back up all your stuff, right?
10. If you find a bug, meaning something that doesn�t work, see item 1. Then see item 2. Then report it to Microsoft. How? See item 2. Why? So that Microsoft can address the issue, and so that you feel empowered, instead of like a thirty-something social miss-fit who still lives with his mother.
Hope this helps!
