| Vista Ultimate x64 | Buying a new Vista? I have changed my motherboard and processor (dual core). The old motherboard was corrupted. Vista Ultimate upgrade version, not OEM, didn't work anymorrow. I tried to reinstall Vista. System refused to reïnstall, because it was an upgrade version. Then I tried to reïnstall my original Windows XP version. This was unsucessfull because Windows XP don''t support Dual Core!  What do do? Going tomorrow to the shop and buy a new Vista? Any suggestion very welcome Last edited by barman58; 12-27-2008 at 08:26 AM.. Reason: Solved |
