   Windows Vista Desktop
  I just installed my Vista Beta 2 and I have a quick question. Is it normal for my desktop to not appear unless I hit the desktop button? My background is just all black and none of the icons appear. Is this some option or just a beta bug?   
  Ok. Definitely just a bug. I turned on the high contrast mode (just playing with options) and then turned it off and my desktop magically appeared. God bless betas.   ;  Have you got a supported video card and/or current drivers for it?   ;  Yeah, this could be that your video card drivers aren't updated.  I had a lot of trouble with windows not being rendered.  Try downloading the latest ones.  Worked for me.
