I've been trying to install Vista on system currently running on XP. Apparently, the Hard Drive is bolixed up as the option to upgrade is disabled and the full installation flakes out after 27% of "expand files" with a message that system is unable to configure boot sector. I have emptied program data directory but cannot get rid of it altogether. -- Therefore, I am considering installing a...

Hopefully someone can help. I have a dual boot system - XP on the boot drive and Vista on a slave drive. The boot drive is failing (clicking on boot and often preventing the computer from passing the bios splash screen). The Vista install modified the boot header on the XP boot drive. This means that I cannot just buy a new boot drive and install XP on it

Hi All, I am new to Vista and am just setting up my new computer. When I try to register Vista I get the following message in Internet Explorer 8: *::\"Your Request Cannot Be Completed at This Time::* The browser version you're currently running does not support the Windows Vista product registration process." Is this because my Vista came with Internet Explorer 7 and I have updated to 8?

Hi, After a while of tearing my hair out trying to get Vista to work properly, I have come to the decision that maybe installing XP may be the best solution. I have never had any issues with XP and feel safer knowing my software won't bomb out on me halfway through a design job. My laptop is 2 years old and came brand new from a high street retailer with Vista Home Premium pre-installed on it...

I have an issue with when trying to register a dll file. The error displayed is 0x80004005 which apparently has to do with (the lack of) administrative access. I'm using the computer with admin status, but I'm aware of the User Account Control (UAC) thing (which basically requires you to confirm admin level usage even if you are an admin). Another thread instructed to right-click on the command...
