RE: Installation hangs - Please help!!!

(Saw your post on WUGNET but I haven't a password for that...)

You mention a Toshiba Satellite - is that an M40? If so, others have had the
same problem but there is a workaround for it.

Boot from the Vista dvd, choose install, then repair. Cancel the startup
check, then choose the advanced repair options, then Command Line.

From there you can delete (or rename, but that doesn't always work) the
PCMCIA.SYS file in
Windows\system32\drivers and
windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\pcmcia.inf_539d553e [numbers may
vary according to the build you are using].
