Spooky Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 The fact that it will read anything indicates basic functionality. As for the other stuff - RC1 is not a good platform upon which to base solid functionality judgement, however, it might help you out if you were to upgrade DVD drive firmware.

wfunction Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Smooth. Did you somehow downgrade to XP (if you upgraded), or did you delete Vista and reinstall XP afresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooky Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 When you did this with Vista, was the Vista install a clean install or an upgrade over XP?I reformatted and got rid of Vista, and reinstalled XP ProfessionalI'll wait for the full release of Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
