What files do you require form the expired Beta 2 product?
You should be using the final released product.
If it is something like wallpapers then these are posted on a number of
third party web sites.

What .jpg files for Vista are you specifically needing? Many may be backed
up on your Vista drive. For example, the files for wallpaper
(C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper) can also be found in a subfolder of
C:\Windows\winsxs. Mine are here:

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-shell-wallpaper-common_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.5744.16384_none_453ffe7bb71f5981

You could Copy the files you want from the C:\Windows\winsxs subfolder and
Paste them elsewhere.

There are a number of pre-RTM releases, e.g., Build 5744, legally licensed
under the Microsoft Software License Terms, which won't expire until the
last day of May/first day of June (depending on your Zone).
