If I install the 32 bit Vista RC1, can I do an upgrade to the 64bit version when it is released, or would I have to do a clean install of the 64 bit version

Low-resolution video (640x480) is inaccessible in the Advanced options in the boot loader.

I am trying to install Vista RC1 64-bit on a different parition as my WinXP Home edition and after it copies the files and claims to have installed the computer reboots to a blackscreen with no activity. I gave it a few minutes to see if anything is happening, but nothing happens. I do a Crtl-Alt-Del and the system reboots to a OS select screen that goes by so fast I have to reboot about 3...

From one set of hardware to another? Normally, with XP, we boot from the Ghost/Acronis CDs and make an image to an external USB hard disk. We then install this image on other PCs. We were wondering if anybody has tried this with VISTA yet with any sort of success/failure.

Because of my experiences, I would suggest you remove any PCI modem you have installed before you try to install the RC1 Build 5728. Even though 5600 worked fine, something was changed (maybe modem.sys) that caused Blue Screens on subsequent boot attempts if a driver update was accomplished. I tried to update to 5728 twice and could not with the modem installed, but when it was removed,...

I am having the exact same issue. I tried loading the vista driver from the nVidia site and it did not detect that the computer was running vista. The nVidia site recommended that I uninstall all nVidia drivers and then install the new downlaod, which I did and still it would not install. Now I am left with the Standard VGA driver. I have tried updating on Windows Update and get an error...

Hi, I have multiple OSes on my workstation and start wondering if I should install RC1 to that. Any ideas how to deal this: First I have Grub where I can select different distros or MS world. Then I get normal NTLoader where I have WinXP, W2000 and DOS ;) Any knowledge what will be the result after the Vista ? .-Petri-.

OK... Tried Google and had a few hits, but nothing relevant... Trying to upgrade my XP Pro SP2 to Vista x86 5728. The upgrade seems to go smoothly, then the system reboots... and just keeps rebooting. If I start in safe mode the system still reboots right after crcdisk.sys is loaded. XP has all the latest updates installed. I did find one suggestion to remove the pcmcia.sys files but that...

Hello, when installation program asks me to type the product key, I have to fill it in the appropriate field, but... my keybord doesn't want to type 'M' : all other letters work but not the 'M'. I have first tried with the french keybord (my native langage) and then again with the US one. But nothing changes. I have tried several keyboards but the behavior is the same. Keyboard and mouse...

I want to upgrade to Vista from Windows XP, and to do this, it says I must start the installation whilst in XP, not booting from the DVD. When I try to start the installation whilst in XP, this is the error I get: "Setup can not run this version of the Operating System. To install Windows please try booting from the install media" Well I don't want to boot from the DVD as I can't do an upgrade...

Hello, I currently have a key for a beta 2, and i was wondering if i could use that key for teh full version of full when it's ready.

I've googled around on this and I've not seen it anywhere. And the sysprep app that's in \windows\system32 doesn't seem to have any help files associated with it. If I just run sysprep using the defaults and reboot, it (as expected) asks me for Product Key/Time Zone, etc, but it also asks for me to set up another user account.
