Windows Vista RC1 Build 5728

[tric]

Did a clean install last night of the latest Windows Vista Build 5728 on my T43 2686-M4U. I find it a bit more stable than Build 5600. Most of the ThinkVantage software doesn't work still, but I can live without those. The clean install was better compared to upgrading Build 5600.

After the installation, I run Windows Update and almost all of the drivers were available. The only thing that I did install manually was the Winbound TPM drivers. As for the rest, Windows Update did it for me. I also downloaded Trend Micro's Anti Virus BETA which runs in Windows Vista without a glitch.

It rated my system 2.0 due to my Display Adapter. But overall, Im quite happy with the performace...Aero and the visual enhancement enable. The only thing that I upgraded in my system is that I have 1GB of RAM. The rest is factory shipped.

Try bumping up your drivers from ATI. They have new Vista specific driver that should add on another point.

Actually ATIs driver adds only 0.1 point on my T60. But i could see a dramatic improvement on dragging windows and so on. It's more fluently than with Vista out of the box drivers.

The only issue i have is that every time i startup my computer or resume from standby the monitor setup assistant window pops up.

I experienced that on RC1 also, also on Build 5728 for a while. But now I don't experienced it anymore. I'm not too sure while one I did made it go away. Either the Windows Update or when I installed the ATI Vista BETA Catalyst software. Just give it a try. I know how annoying it is.

You right. I upgraded to 5728 and to problem went away. Still thinking about what causes this annoyance on 5600 (RC1).
