My Vista Problems (Who can help)

Okay I've had Vista installed now for 2 days since the release. Here are my issues...are they mine or everyones?
-Nero Burning Rom latest version does not install. It extracts the files and that's it.
-Microsoft Money 2005 tries to update itself, does the download...then the program just hangs. When you restart the program it asks to download the updates again.
-Norton Antivirus 2006 isn't compatible won't install
-Yahoo Widget Engine won't install, does the same thing as Nero then says it has problems and doesn't finish.
-No driver for Creative Game Port
-Haupphauge WINTV card has drivers from Microsoft, but the latest application of WinTV 2000 won't run with the drivers. Can't use the card...
THINGS THAT DO GREAT:
Graphically it's awesome...love the fades and transitions. Both my GeForce 6800LE and my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS work fine with beta drivers from Nvidia and Creative.

I assume you've taken the time to report all of these to Microsoft?

did you try watching tv in the media center that came with the beta? start->all programs->media center

-Nero Burning Rom latest version does not install. It extracts the files and that's it. ***NERO 7 has compatibility issues with Vista, try another version (6.6) or use another burning software. Make sure you also file a report on the issue.
-Microsoft Money 2005 tries to update itself, does the download...then the program just hangs. When you restart the program it asks to download the updates again. ***Known issue, you could try disabling UAC and see if it works again.

-Norton Antivirus 2006 isn't compatible won't install Yes, known issue, try a compatible AntiVirus utility: ***http://www3.ca.com/press/PressRelease.aspx?CID=88876 http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/default.aspx here are 2 others: Avast 4.7 32-bit http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
https://www.trendbeta.com/index.php?get=80 run "Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON" from an elevated command prompt on Vista x64 (Thanks Barb Bowman for the tip) Learn more about AntiVirus support for Windows Vista here: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/windowsvistabeta2.mspx

-Yahoo Widget Engine won't install, does the same thing as Nero then says it has problems and doesn't finish. Again, try disabling UAC or contact Yahoo about this since they are the ones responsible for the software and also file a bug report.
-No driver for Creative Game Port Yes, known issue, this is Creatives responsibility.

Why on earth would you try to install Yahoo widgets when Vista already has it's own (better) widgets?

Yes, I tried this...
It says I don't have a tuner installed, when in actuality I do...the drivers are there.

Did you run MCE 2005 with that WINTV? I have fooled around with a few of them and if it is the same version WINTV that I have used before it wont work with MCE 2005 so I doubt that they will support Vista. It is not a windows issue but rather a happauge lack to make new drivers when they can just sell a new TV Tuner. I am using the ATI theater 550 pro. It works wonderfully and Windows has the drivers built in. Of course there might be greater WINTV compatibility in the future but I wouldnt hold my breath on that one.

I cant help , but.... I had the Same experience as you with Norton and Nero. Im thinking its Possible Nero conflicts with windows media Player 11. My 2 cents worth with Nero is, The two cant reside togeather in Vista at this time. Im not surprised at all with Standard and Basic Norton Products not being Compatible with the Upgrade. They werent with any previous new MS OS's either. Several times in the Past Ive had to bite the bullit and buy the new Norton compatible product. Its Probably a different story for corporate versions of Symantic Products. Norton cant afford to not address their upgrade issues, Once again, "my 2 cents worth".
So far , all other of my programs , Tools and Utilities are installing well. -- 5384 Test Machine
