Vista - Vista Compatibility Issue

I am trying to install Vista Business on a computer running Pentium4, Intel
Motherboard D845GBV_ with 1 GB memory, 2.0GB speed, Vissiontek X1550 video
card.

After entering the product key on the installation and accepting the
licensing screen, i select upgrade and it then says "checking Compatibility"
i get the blue screen saying:

'DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'

***STOP: 0X000000D1 (0X05D0050, 0X000000FF, 0X00000001, 0X8727CABE)

I have uninstalled the virus program and disabled all the start programs in
MSCONFIG.

My computer passes the Vista Advisor compatibility tests with no problems.

Any ideas??

Note: I tried calling Microsoft and they said the product key is valid but
it is OEM so they won't provide telephone support and I should use the email
or chat options on their support page. When I try that, I recieve message
saying the product code is no good.

This error is caused by Virtual devices like virtual cd/dvd programs and devices windows can see but unable to startup, Try removing every device from the computer during setup and plugging it back in after it finishes if that doesnt work you will need todo a clean install.

Hi,

I don't see that motherboard on the hardware compatibility list:
https://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL/Pr...=v&cid=105&g=s

Nor do I see any Vista drivers for it from Intel:

Offhand, I'd say that the board is not a good candidate for a Vista upgrade.
