..is now availiable - I'm busy downloading it now. Seems many other people are doing the same as its not going that fast...

If you've got RC1 and download through Windows Update, then the download size starts at around 100Mb and will probably drop to around 82Mb
If you want to go through the preview website, its the standard 264Mb size...

The popup blocker has been improved, which is good.

Nah, it installs the .Net Components but doesn't install Framework 1.1
I couldn't install the framework until i installed SP2, it seems to have fixxed that annoying Windows Installer problem i was having; so i installed it right afterwards

It comes with DirectX 9.0c though, which would explain why 9.0c isn't out yet. They're waiting until SP2 is finished and released, usually Candidates only take a month or so before going public.
So this means 9.0c is due out soon but more importantly I CAN FINALLY USE SM3.0 YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

So this is cool. I'm still trying to figure out why running DirectX fullscreen applications hangs the system though :-\

actually that's the weird thing...
DarkBASIC Professional fullscreen works fine, as do the DirectX 9 SDK things; but the DirectX DxDiag crashes, as does Blitz3D and such.

i think it's a problem with the old Dx interfaces.

Usually if its DxDiag, its a dodgy install of DirectX. Unfortunately in this case, you can only go backwards - by uninstalling RC2...

Or you could try disabling AGP acceleration or something like that.

Yeah but DirectX has done this since updating to XP.
3 Totally clean updates of DirectX; none have fixxed the problem... so just dunno what's going on really.

As i said DxDiag fullscreen poops up, but DBPro doesn't Fullscreen. It's wierd

It could be the card/drivers (as multiple reinstalls of XP doesn't fix it). It could also be the monitor - invalid timing being fed back...
