    Anybody got sound hardware working with this release?

    I am testing on an old HP pavilion P4HT machine with Realtek AC97 hardware PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_80951043 and got the latest Vista/Win7 drivers from realtek (6305_Vista_Win7_PG537). The driver attempts to install, complains about not being signed (though it's a WHQL driver set), then dies with "cannot find the file specified"

    Every other part is working just fine, this is frustrating to have no sound.

    You gotta force Win98/me drivers through device manager, had the same thing on my older KM400 board. You might wanna try XP drivers first if they are available.

    Can you interpret that into English please, what does "force Win98/me drivers through device manager" mean? :)

    In my opinion you shouldn't be beta testing anything if you don't know what that means, but anyways...
    Download the drivers for XP, Windows 98 and Windows Me and follow this guide and try to install the newer ones first and only try the older ones if the newer ones don't work:

    addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-install-hardware-or-device-drivers-manually-in-windows-vista

    If i won't pick up the driver by searching the folder automatically click "Let me pick..." and "Have Disk" and manually select the .inf file in the folder.

    ok, that turned out to be just another way to describe what I was already doing. No luck.

    Can anyone please post the direct download link of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 (Full Package) ?
    I just downloaded dotnetfx35.exe but after finish downloading I see it is 3.5.2 and 3.5.2 can't be installed without having 3.5.1.

    What is your point?

    Is better called flaming against a member?

    1 - maybe he has no time
    2 - maybe he cannot
    3 - he's enjoing real life?

    The most important thing is that i know him and he has never promised smthg to anyone, he is free to act as he better think,

    so you ARE COMPLETELY OFFTOPIC(not first time ...) and trying to up the posts count number and most important against a member....

    :bangin:

    Questions and findings, so please Forum masters delete that post with mine.....:D:D

    Files from Windows Update are downloaded to %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download and are then installed from there, so you should be able to grab the downloaded file from that folder.

    No, I'm not sure if there's gonna be an .exe, but that's where the WU files get downloaded to.
    It'll probably be a .msu or a .cab that can be installed using dism.
