Yes, I know I'm in the wrong place really, but I don't want to confuse
matters any futher in the Vista newsgroups!

Any of you managed to get the VMWare 64-bit audio driver to work in
Vista beta 2? I can install it, but it then says it can't load it. I've
downloaded it a second time, removed the first one and reinstalled:
still no joy.

(BTW, Vista's zip file handling doesn't seem to compare file sizes
properly when replacing them: it says a new file the same size as the
old one is larger. Maybe bits shrink as they age.)

Since you are having a problem with VMware, the
CORRECT place to go is to the VMware Forums!

What makes you think Microsoft would be
responsible for the behavior of someone else's
software?

This is not a Vista newsgroup.

I said I know that. It is however a general 64-bit group.

Hence the OT, however this IS a the windows.64bit.general newsgroup and
so it is, in fact appropriate.

Sorry, where did I write or imply that is Microsoft's fault?

Graham.

But don't expect VMWare support except on VMWare forums.

You still won't get the answers here that you will on a Vista ng. This
group has been discussing XP Pro and 2003 (including IA64) since release of
those products. Some of us have an interest in Vista, but that is
coincidental. You can lecture us on what we are all you want but all you
will do is make strangers easily.

I'm not lecturing anyone.

I don't. I simply asked a question. I know that a number of people who
frequent this group experiment a lot, and might have been able to say
"yes, it worked for me" in which case I'd keep working at it, or "no it
failed the same way for me" in which case I'd know it's the driver's
fault. Instead of which I get hostile responses.

Which means that discussion of 64 bit versions of Windows are welcome - AS
LONG AS THERE ISN'T A MORE SPECIFIC NEWSGROUP AVAILABLE.

The definition of "off-topic" is: Any posting sent to a newsgroup, when
there is a more relevant newgroup available.
