Use the Windows XP 64 bit driver instead. You may have to reinstall it once to get it working.

I dl'ed it fine and it burned with no problems. Went to install and the only problem which is where I am stuck at now is I didn't get an activation code since I downloaded the torrent instead of the direct download from MS. Any way to get around this or did I waste 6+ hours downloading this beast?

Right now I am using the firefox download manager and up to 47% the iso is over 3 gigs so it will take a while. I am also downloading the office beta stuff. So I can set up a test rig to try this new stuff out. Also I am pretty sure but not positive that all product keys are different but you are allowed to install each product key 10 times.

oh, is there a MD5 somewhere that we can use to see if the download matches the original?
First of all you can get 2 keys and each is good for 10 installs.Originally posted by: stars1234
hey people,
I'm missing something here or rather at MS. Hope someone will help me out
--OS Win98SE download at 4 Mbps.
I went to the Vista site, followed all the directions, a page appeared with the auth. key--for some reason when I tried to print, the key didn't print, although print background was on.
Checking my email, no key or where to download came in. Actually, nothing came in from MS.
On the page where I got my 1st shot at a key, there was alink to the download page and I started.
I had to quit a bit through it so, lost it all.
I have three questions:
1) When I download, should I be in "open" or save?
2) Where do I get the blasted Ak... download manager? All that seems to happen when I click on the "use these links for the download manger" is straight pull of the files.
-----------------
When I started my 1st download, a page came up with the key, which BTW wouldn't print the key. The other info would, but not the key.
Anyway, I followed the link from the key page and got to the download.
I used the left download--the one for MS's manager, even though I don't have it.
I had to stop the download. When I tried to start it again, I was redirected to a page that told me I had received all the keys allowed and told me thanks for downloading.
After that, I tried to start over but was redirected again to the "I have all the keys allowed." I cleared cookies and temp files, but got the same message.
Finally, I found my way back to the download page and tried again.
It's downloading, but no manager; I'm downloading in "open," Should that have been "save"? But even if I get a dwnld, without the key that goes with it, I doubt the download working.
3) So, how do I start over, get a new key?
and the dwnld manager, the new download and should I be in "open" or "save"?
Thanks,
oh, is there a MD5 somewhere that we can use to see if the download matches the original? Also, when I went back to the beginning to try again, I had cleared cookies, temp files, swp file, ini. But that did no good. Still got the redirect to I've use all my allotments of keys.

where do you get the office betas
First of all you can get 10 keys and each is good for 10 installs.
2. M$ has sent you an e-mail with the key(s) & the urls to the d/l area(s).
3. You should be fine to go!
Ditto on all counts. Although I do think that the x64 will eventually come on like a freight train.Originally posted by: Jdog1718
I installed the 64 bit version... less than impresses. Just feels like XP with a nicer GUI, and runs much slower. Ran the system rating with my rig which is a fairly high end gaming pc and got a rating of...3. Checked the resource usage and it was using more than 50% of my 2 gigs of xms ram just running basic apps. Theres no way i'm upgrading for some time after its released. All the things I was looking forward to, they seemed to drop to meet the deadline.

I burned it with DVD Decrypter, which you should still be able to find on the internet. This was the 3GB 32bit version, but it should work with the 4GB version. By the way, the file is an ".iso" file, so it should just be one file.
