    Vista Install Error: Exception Unknown Software Exception

    After putting together a brand new Phenom-based system, I went to install
    Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Just after typing in the product key, I get an
    error that says "Exception Unknown Software Exception (0x40000015) at
    location 0x776a1261" and it brings me back to the install screen.

    After several attempts, I was able to get the install program to run, but
    upon trying to boot in to Vista, it says the install failed and it could not
    boot, so I tried to reinstall, and I never got the past the same error above.



    Hardware:
    Phenom 9600
    DFI 790FX motherboard
    4 gigs Corsair 2x2 DDR2 ram
    500GB seagate 7200.11 hard drive
    HIS Radeon x1900 XT
    Creative Labs sound blaster Live! 24-bit

    I had the same issue and worked around it by putting a 2x cpu chip into the system, installing, doing the patchs, then putting the phenom in and doing the patched from amd.

    Took a bit longer but it worked. Almost sorry I didnt go IBM quadcore, they have no such issues.
