My point was that everyone is forewarned that they are on their own if
they
opt to run the beta. If someone in the MS newsgroups can help, great.
But
there's no guarantee that anyone can provide any advice.

JoAnn, I believe we all know there is no actual tech support for
beta
software, but dont you think it would be prudent to at least offer a
little
asistance rather than a put down to those trying to help find the
bugs?
I
am
having the exact same problem and I am using the beta 2 version of
Vista.
I
am a 30 year "veteran" working with computers & I could sure use a
little
help figuring this one out.

remember
that you catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
That

your
"like responses in another thread and the two together tells me you are
in
serious need on an attitude adjustment. May I suggest several quarts
of
Jack
Daniels and an evening with your favorite "significant other"? I think
theres been enough said at this point.
