HI Kevin, you really should post the link to the page, not the direct
download as there are warnings on the page that need to be adhered to... i.e
Toshiba models.

back to the drawing board for 5728, I hope!

RC1 5600 has been nearly flawless on my sytem since it's release, upgrading
to 5728 proved a disaster, upgrading proved to be a bad idea. The audigy
drivers and the Nvidia drivers both had to be reinstalled and some apps lost
registry entries. Clear Type did not function in all screens as it should.
To many issues to call it a success.

I also have been less than enthusiastic about 5728. I initially did an
upgrade from 5600. The upgrade itself went without a hitch but did take a
while; it took about 80 minutes. However, I lost my sound (Audigy 2 ZS). I
was unable to resolve the issue so I did a clean install. Now IE7 is giving
me fits. Pages don’t load and it hangs. In 5600 Internet Explorer was
flying providing the fastest Internet experience I’ve ever had.

I also notice that memory (2GB) is always at 40% even when idle, something I
don’t recall from 5600.

If that's all you have to complain about, you are on the top of the
heap, my friend.

Build 5728 has been running flawlessly on my machine (Apple Intel iMac
17").

So which part of "This build (5728) has a number of improvements and
updates from RC1, but has not been put through the same internal testing
process as RC1 and therefore may be unstable in certain installations."
Did you not understand.

If RC1 was working, why did you risk a newer build, that by Microsoft's
own admission, in some circumstances may cause new issues???

Personally, 5728 is working MUCH better for me than RC1...

It's working even better for me. It's even faster than 5600 was, and I can
hardly tell a difference between XP's performance and Vista's from doing
most tasks, except Windows Media Player 11's visualizations, which are much
slower on Vista than XP. My RAM usage is also higher than it was in Beta 2,
however. In fact, my RAM usage has been higher than beta 2 since Pre-RC1
5536. I haven't figured it out yet.

RAM usage is a GOOD thing, would you rather is was in there doing nothing?
