Default Problems

i have media centre on my pc and downloaded vista beta 2 from microsoft to
test out. I downloaded the 32 bit version and began the upgrade. after
installing fine it took me to the start page with my name in a flower box,
and it was then my mouse and keyboard would not work, the mouse would not
move over the box for me to click it??

I have a logitech cordless keyboard and mouse and do not use the software on
my pc and they connect automatically, should i install the software so that
vista can recognize my keyboard and mouse?? As soon as I did the reformat and
put media centre back my keyboard and mouse worked just fine

anyone else have this problem?? any advise??

Default Problems

I have noticed in parental controls that Windows Messenger Live does not
appear to be recognised as a messenger account, therefore no data is
available in activity reports, even though Messenger was being used. Same as
with the Live mail. When i select the folder users/*accountname*/ mail - all
my own emails appear rather than other users? This can be viewed in other
accounts too.

There appears to be no way to turn off the taskbar icon that shows that
parental controls are on on the childs account.

Also, when i hide files and folders in the Admin account they become
available to all users on 'show hidden files and folders'. I have information
on this pc which i prefer the kids not to see or be able to edit.

Is there any 'fixes' to these issues?

I am also having troubles getting any compatable drivers for Vista OS, nor
does a lot of my programs or hardware work since the upgrade. Subsequentally
all i am left with is mainly Microsoft products and a lot of error
installations/ misinstalled programs/ compatability issues.

When i purchased the upgrade it was in belief (by reading the official
'glossy' Vista Website) that my pc would be so much better if I upgraded -
spectacular even, but in reality it is left very downgraded and basic unless
i spend ££££££££ upgrading my very much new and costly hardware. Surely there
should be some kind of warning on that page things might not be so great if
Vista doesn't support the product / driver compatability issues / driver
inavailability issues because as it stands it is very misguiding to the
consumer and frankly i feel robbed!
