Hi All.. Despite many attempts I cant get to install the retial as a upgrade of my RC2 installation: just wanted to seek advice before going clean install. Basically the upgrade warns that some programs wont work after install, but that these wont effect the installation itself. It then copies the files, then gathers the files to 100%. Immediately it changes to expanding files 0% I get an...

I have been reading up alot on vista, and so far I havent seen any answers to the two question I really have.. When Vista comes out in stores to buy, does the vista come with both 32 bit AND 64bit in 1 disc so that you can chose which one to install? And is it possible to have a 32bit Vista on 1 harddrive, 64bit on another harddrive using just the 1 Vista with the 2 formats that it comes...

I recently purchased a Compaq Laptop. It is installed with Vista Home Premium or some such. I installed Vista Ultimate 32 on this machine, and never used the 64 bit disk. Am I allowed to use the 64 bit Ultimate Disk on the laptop and upgrade it? Also, this laptop has Works and not Word on it? Am I allowed to install Word on more than one machine?

After that, when I...

Hi group, I built a new computer for Vista (specs below) that has two SATA drives. Prior to installing Vista, I installed XP Pro 64 on a partition on SATA drive #1. Everything went fine with that installation, and I did not have to do the "press F6 to install drivers" during the installation. XP recognized the drives and installed to one without issue. I then tried to install Vista 64...

I cannot install from xp pro sp2 to Windows Home Premium. I know I should of gotten the Business or Ultimate but its to late I broke the seal, lol. My problem right now is that it wants the Promise driver (ultra.sys for the ultra66 miniport) but it won't recognize that one and the Promise site offers no new drivers so I have made no progress in installation at all. I have to say this is the...
