Vista - Reinstall of Vista Upgrade?

I've got multiple errors popping up in vista media center and thus to my
extenders on the tv's. After reading multiple posts, it seems alot have fixed
this by reinstalling Vista? So here is my problem, I upgraded XP Pro to Vista
Home Premium. From posts on these newsgroups it seems that I will have
problems trying to reinstall this since it was an upgrade. I've got
everything important backed up so I'd like to do a clean install and format
the C drive. Is this possible with the upgrade DVD?

Hello dnelms,

Did you not do a clean install when you upgraded to Vista?

Yes, did a clean install and have not had problems since doing it in early
August.

Just started a couple of days ago, and a rollback with system restore did
not fix it.

Hi,

Use the clean reinstall or repair reinstall option. For future reference, believe that it will activate automatically online 5 times , after that you need to ring the toll free number -

Activate Vista by Phone

Also for future reference, you have the option of doing this :

Startup Repair

If you decide to do the clean reinstall, so it's all fresh - you can use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer your files and settings to another hd , then transfer them back after.
