First up I KNOW it's beta and this isnt a whine, just wondering if anyone has come across the same problems and whether they have solutions. I understand stuff may be just plain broken The Main Box ASUS Fatality Nforce4 Mobo AMD 64 3500+ 2GB Crucial RAM 7800GTX 2 x 35gb Raptors (10k rpm & no RAID) 1. Networking a file transfers Seems appalling inconsistent and just plain broken. My test box was able to browse the workgroup (after refreshing many times and waiting forever for the other machines to show up) but it seems impossible to move a file onto a share on the MCE box I have. Example I was trying to move the Vista Nvidia drivers I downloaded (approx 4mb?) and it would just sit there for eternity 'calculating time' 2. Windows Update Never works - always returns an error 3. Browsing Very very slow 4. Audigy 2 ZS Drivers Any appeared yet? 5. Lots of hung apps, some just stop Picture Viewer particulary and the app can't be killed without a reboot 6. Eve Online - cant even load up the login screen - just a black box DIFFERENT MACHINE: 3300 Sempron 1GB RAM 6600GT 3 x 250GB IDE Harddrives Gigabyte VIA mobo s939 7. Can't install at all on a box with 6600GT vid card. Does the 'loading windows files' bit followed by a black screen with a cursor after a brief flash of the loading animation, then just sits there. I tried the same machine with the 7800GTX from the main machine above and it was fine, likewise with a radeon 9600 in it.
