I got Vista Home Basic yesterday and caused me many problems. The biggest is that the installation deleted my Linksys program, with no Internet connection, and had to buy a new CD to get a new program.

I have a desktop computer which has over 100GB hard drive (C and D combined... C holds 15gb and D holds 92gb). The drives are supposed to act as one, like a raid.

I created a second partition D: on which I installed Vista, XP being installed on C: . Vista works well, allbeit slow, and I thus deleted XP from C. Now I would like to merge D: and C: I deleted C, thinking I could expand D: and then rename it, but that seems impossible to do with the disk manager of Vista. Has anyone a solution ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I know this is a very common problem, but I can't seem to fix it. I have tried doing msiexec /unregister and msiexec /regserver (yes, both in System32 and in SysWOW64). I have also tried changing my registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer) to use msiexec in SysWOW64, but that doesn't have any effect. Are there some other tricks I can use, and, perhaps...

After going through the install (clean install) for Vista Home Premium and upon first reboot all I get is a blank screen, even after I let it stay in that state for more than 12 hours.

Here are my PC's specs: Windows XP Home SP2 AMD Athlon XP 2400+, 2GHz

Hi, I inadvertently deleted the mbr. So I inserted the Vista DVD and recovered the situation, such that i could boot again into Vista. However, the Vista OS now appears with the word - (recovered) - after it, in the boot OS selector window, and in other places as well.
