| | GENERAL SOLUTIONS to HANGS at "completing installations..." symbol(situations):when a lot of people install Vista, the completing installations never completed! SO ANNOYING huh? Here are one important solution! that is ************************** D O S O M E T H I N G !!!! D O S O M E T H I N G S !!!! D O M O R E T H I N G S !!!! ************************** Never will you succeed if you try it over and over again if you don't change your hardware configurations. Changing the installation versions will do no good. It is obvious that microsoft left a big problem at the end of the setup.Anything unsuitable may cause a crash which means having waste the previous time. there are no exact solutions because there are so many causes.The only way is to change things(hardware) little by little until you make it. here are some ways for referance: 1.format your destination partition. 2.begin your installation not in the Windows but before it(use boot from CD-ROM) 3.take away as many plugs on your mother board as possible(especially in the PCIs) I succeeded after following these steps, hope you will make it !!!!!!!!!!-----------------------------!!!!!!!!!!!!! but be careful. If you use a dual boot and begin the installation immediately after the formating without going to XP even once , the partition name in vista WOULD NOT MATCH THOSE IN XP. for exmple ,if my XP is in the C patition and I install vista in E. The vista will call the partition where it is installed Partition C and the original C and D would be D and E etc. !!!!!!!!!!!!----------------------------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| | Re: GENERAL SOLUTIONS to HANGS at "completing installations..." "Going to XP even once" makes no difference. It's how you start the install that makes the difference (from within XP or from booting from the Vista DVD).
