| | Re: Vista Service pack RC 1 Build tags have always been a part of Windows betas and are always removed from the final software when it is release. Release Candidate is still pre-released software (beta), so you will have to live with it a little while longer until Release to Web/Manufacturing is reached. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "Stuart" <stuartfrith@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eP$x2IuSIHA.1184@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi all.

See the Warning at the top here for more information on this. The only way to get rid of the logo is to uninstall the SP1 RC1. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/11...ate-1-rc1.html Shawn |
