Hey there! I'm back and with a squeaky new clean install of Vista!
I'm a sucker for beta versions
Me too - I'm now running, Vista Beta 2, Office Beta 2007 etc etc...
The problem I encountered appeared to be pretty unusual - I found about 5 other people with the same thing. Basically after installing Vista over XP SP2, everything appeared perfect, except that the mouse pointer wouldn't move. I tried multiple mice (serial, ps2, and usb) and they were all recognised by Vista, but wouldn't move the pointer. The weird thing was, if the screen saver came on and you moved the mouse, the screen would come alive - but the pointer remainder steadfast in the centre of the screen!
Anyway, I did a clean install - my machine needed it anyway as it was long overdue, and things are running nice again.
Vista is pretty cool and I have had no buggy problems with it - but it needs a little optimising before a commercial release. In the end though, I think most people will like it.
