Yes, I joined the exfat beta on Connect, but there is no information in the "details" and the status of the beta just shows as "pending." I guess I will just have to wait

A Google search only turns up a couple of blogs that mention the 5270 build, and the possibility of porting it to Windows XP. I understand exfat is Microsoft's extended FAT file system that has no 32 GB restriction. But where is it? Is it in the latest build? How do you invoke it?

When I try to install AVG Free anti-virus on Vista 5259 or 5270 (from Administrator), the install gets "access denied" trying to write registry keys. When I install the P4P800 Soundmax app the install fails when "Oleaut32.dll" gets 0x8007005 (access denied) trying to self register. I fixed the AVG problem by giving Admin write-access to the keys needed. The Soundmax problem also seems to be caused by missing write-access permissions in registry keys. I have recorded registry changes with Regmon while executing "regsvr32 Oleaut32" and I am able to find and fix the key missing Admin write permission. But then I run it again, fix another key--over and over again. So there are apparently dozens of keys with the same problem or perhaps new keys are being created without permissions. I have tried giving Admin full control of all sub keys below a main key, but I can't get it to work right. I still have to manually give write access to Admin on many lower level keys. Ideally I would like to give Admin write access to all keys, either at the root key level (HKCR in this case) or with a script that would go through all the keys in the registry. Is this possible? I think this might fix a variety of problems in the 5259/5270 releases.

These are the ones I install first: 1. Winrar.exe (used to uncompress the rest) 2. AVG free anti-virus 3. Sygate firewall 4. Codestuff Starter (to control all the unneeded startup programs) 5. Registrar lite (to make all those necessary tweaks and remove all the uninstall leftovers) B) 6. Foxit PDF reader (Acrobat too bloated) 7. Nero (bloated but still best) 8. Foobar 2000 (for tunes) 9. Mpc (for videos) 10. The Clock (my desktop wouldn't be complete without it) ...and all but two are free (but I still need another 20 installed before I am happy)

Yes, thanks for making them available, and nice that they auto install. They all work fine on my XP sp2. Too bad about the Chess game, but the engine is not too strong and I couldn't get it to save any of my games on Vista anyway.

I tried to upgrade from Vista 5219 to the leaked 5231, but setup said it needed over 7 gig free in the partition! My Vista partition is about 10 gig with about 2.5 gig free.
