Hi,

I can't update Vista 64 bit, went through everything with MS support, nothing worked. Module Installer keeps stopping. Will have to reinstall OS. I have 8GB of memory.

Any tips and or advice before I have to wipe my C drive clean? I have 3 hard drives on my computer so the C drive is programs and I'll export my outlook mail stuff and bookmarks, anything else I should consider?

Will the Vista 64 just pick up on the 8 GB or do I have to do something for it to find all the RAM?

Thanks in advance.

Try opening Command Promt (Run as Admin) and type:
Code: 
sfc /scannow

That will find and fix any registry errors that might cause this. If that does not work, then shut down your computer, and boot into the Installation Disk. Select Repair your Computer, and do a repair install.

If none of this works, then let us know.

Thank you for your response, I suppose I should have been clear about trying everything that MS has suggested including this. There really is nothing more for me to do but reinstall..

I am running out of ideas.................................

I guess go ahead and try a reinstall. With any luck, the problem won't persist. If it does, then we have a bigger problem.
