Has anyone been able to active Vista yet?

Also, I'm using Avast. Terrible AV in my opinion, I like AVG.

Yes, get a Microsoft Connect or MSDN account! Otherwise you're out of luck.

I had to remove Avast as I was having problems with programs not responding as well.

EDIT: Has anyone installed Logitech Setpoint? I'm going crazy not being able to use my shortcut buttons, especially the play/pause/skip ones for winamp.

EDIT2: Installed setpoint, it can't find anything

You just need to burn it to a DVD and boot from the disc.

The file look like zip but it's not I try to unzip and I read this:

This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification.

What that's mean ? Thank you

you need a program like WinISO. If you want to burn it to a disc and have nero simple open the iso and it will burn it. DO NOT add the file to a Data disc.

It looks like a rar or zip but its not. its an iso, and image of a DVD. Need a program like Nero and select theburn image to disc option, then stick it in your machine and boot from it.... Just like AM said

There are no official definitive specs yet cause its still in beta and thus subject to change.
however its fairly standard, comparable to XP
at least 512 RAM, pref 1gb
i'm not sure what the min is but i would say 20gb HD space for install + swap + programs
half decent 3d graphics card if you want to use the glass theme, however if its not capable it will automatically scale down the UI graphics.
DVD drive to install it
CPU wise, i'm running it on a 1.6gh machine, and it runs ok. bit slow in places. so i would say around that or higher obviously.

thats all i can think of

Gosh Darnit.

Something happened to my download, as I only have a 4KB file in the folder it downloaded to

What files am I supposed to have?
