Well I increased my virtual memory to 2megs and that helps also since my graphics rating is 2.4 I can't run aeroglass which helps I'm sure. Though I ran aeroglass on beta2 with no issue whatsoever and my sti card is one that all resources say should be able to run it so perhaps i just need more ram? im running 64bit, sorry for the confusion. it's frustrating because i want to use vista as my main OS since i have a genuine copy and serial for it and i dont want it to go to waste as i like vista better than xp by far. i know that on the official ATI site it says they're releasing a rc2 driver soon but i think thats for graphics only??? anyone know?? also anyone know if realtek is going to relase a rc2 driver? are companies working on rc2 drivers or are they just going to wait till official release? also i downloaded vistabootpro which i used to enable using unsigned drivers so once my GITSSAC torrent has finished i'm going to see if that somehow enables me to update ect. as far and deleting audio driver and allowing MS to update it for me if i uninstall the entire audio section goes out and if i restart comp the usual annoying cannot find driver thing pops up but when i click find driver it can't so maybe MS if behind on that? i've read a few people saying that they were able to install delete and then MS found it, which is what i did (WINDOWS UPDATE) on rc1 but on rc2 no such luck. *sigh* please keep me informed and i'll keep you guys/girls informed as well. thanks Ceth
