Vista Ultimate RC2 Build 5744

I am using this version today (06/01/2007). Yesterday I received hourly
messages that it would expire at midnight. This evening I got a message
stating that it would expire in 0 hours.

Is this normal?

Yes. Did you not believe the warnings?

Yep...the beta is time bombed to stop working when it did.

I should go into limited mode function. IE will work and you should be
able to transfer files. It won't shut down completely.

I case if haven't transferred files from Vista Beta to Vista
full version on time - there is one an emergency "operation" you
can run.

You can install full version of Vista over Beta, as an upgrade
but REMEMBER to take off "v" from the box of automatic activation,
when starting your upgrade. Your full version of Vista will be installed
over Vista Beta and you'll have access to you "Old Windows"
files when Vista installation is finished.

I "practiced it" twice, in two cases on my Betas and it worked on
two different PCs.

Re: Vista Ultimate RC2 Build 5744


um.... the trick is.... when the warning box appears press "close" then
the message goes away and Vista keeps working
