| | Still unable to upgrade from Vista Home Edition to Vista Ultimate. Have made five attemtpts to do so since last Sunday. Have a new HP Slimline 3120s computer. As recommended on this forum, I have unplugged all USB devices, turnoff all spyware blocking & anti-spam devices, etc, etc. At the end of each attempt I get one of the two following messages: "The upgrade was not successful. Your previous version of windows is being restored. Do not restart your computer during this time" or "Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install windows, restart computer and then restart the installation" - I have four times! Could someone please offer either a suggestion on how to upgrade to Vista Ultimate or at least give me a toll-free number to resolve this issue. ReBell |
