Failed upgrade of XP Pro to Vista Business by
I tried to upgrade my XP Pro SP2 instance to Vista Business. The upgrade failed due to the Realtek 97 Audio driver wasn't compatable with Vista which resulted in a Blue screen in Vista on the 1st reboot. Now, when I boot up XP I get a boot menu ( briefly ) that shows : Earlier Version of Windows Windows Setup

Repair/rebuild installation of Vista by
In Windows XP and Windows 2000, it was possible to do a repair installation. That is to say, when boot from the CD, you basically rebuild XP or 2000. In Windows 2000, all you had to do was press "R" at the first prompt and choose fast repair. In Windows XP, you have to choose install and then "R" to repair. That feature was very helpful in repairing some serious problems. I've been...

Installing hardware? by ***** charles
Hi out there, I was wondering about the install process for hardware under Vista. If I install a pci card into the motherboard and turn on the machine so Vista 64 boots up, at some time in the boot process it recognizes something new and asks for a driver. At this point I should be able to browse/point to an installation file that helps in installing a driver for the device. I would...

Bad dvd burner? by ***** charles
hey I just installed two different dvd burners on the same Vista 64 Basic machine that where brand new out of the box. One was an LG and the other was a LiteOn. Whenever I try to access them with Windows Explorer most of the time the machine just locks up and I have to push the power button to do anything with the thing. It's hard to believe that both devices are bad

Vista sloooooowwwww? by ***** charles
Hi all, I have installed Vista 64 Basic on several machines and they all seemed to respond slowly even though The hardware was pretty good, at least I thought so. What would be your minimum recommendations for a Vista machine that one could use that would seem pretty fast in the response times for things like moving windows around, menus dropping down and scrolling?
