I would like to get my hands on it to run it in a test enviroment but I cant find a legal way to get a copy of it without being a msdn member first?

[Pirus]

you missed your chance i downloaded it directly from microsoft for beta testing but that time has expired now

[Subb]

ooooo how long will it take to come out of beta testing? I'm currently getting parts together for a new PC

Legal?  Destyn is not familiar with this word.

Styan, there is some VM tweaking you need to do for this.
I think you have to format as FAT32 first (or was it NTFS) then install and let it do another format (depending on the build you are trying).

Thx, I'll re-visit it.. see if I can't get it goin.

Too late?  I have my Beta disk coming.  At least, that's what they told me...  We'll see...

Alright well i found an extra 30 gig harddrive laying around my house and last night i installed the latest pre-rc1 vista(dont have acess to rc1 yet) on it so it was a clean install nothing else there, i used the beta vista drivers for my 6800gt and for my nforce4 chipset/audio etc. I had no problems really doing anything, it seems really stable and i kinda fell like using it as my main os for now but that would be to much trouble for me.

So the big question does MxO run on Vista. Short answer...NO.

I tied everything i could think of, I have both launcher.exe and matrix.exe and have them in compat mode for windows xp sp2 and i have them running as administrator processes and still nothing.
You can start the launcher log in and go to the loading area but you cant actually jack into the matrix. It stops at starting world at the very end of the progress bar. Which i was hopeing that if you i messed around with some setting it would eventually work but nothing.


And oh yeah I am posting from Windows Vista right now.
