Vista - Re: Help with installing Vista

You can switch graphics cards for the installation and then switch the cards
back again to see how that goes. I suggest you make sure that your BIOS is
up to date as well. Several other issues can cause installation problems,
such as memory. I have a combination of BIOS and memory such that I can run
XP x86 on a full 4GB of ram but cannot run Vista x64 or XP Pro x64 on any
more than 3GB. Just the reverse of what you might expect, but it is a BIOS
issue. Strange issues do arise. You might also post to the
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup newsgroup where there are
a number of real installation gurus who really know this stuff.
