| | startup issues. Hi, I'm trying to install Windows Vista and I manage to get it to install using a PS2 Keyboard (not my normal one) and by unplugging all my usb peripherals (which caused the installation to pause). However, when windowws is installed during the boot up it hangs at the"Microsoft Corperation" screen. I've included my system specs (below). Many thanks.

Is the system connected to internet or some broadband modem, disconnect the system from that as well. Is this an upgrade or clean install. If an upgrade over a previous setup, it's possible something, some application installed on that setup is causing the Vista setup to choke. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ |

It may be graphics card or soundcard, only way to find out, assuming they are not integrated into the motherboard would be to remove them one at a time, trying the install after each one. If they are integrated, you may need to install drivers for them during the installation. There is a point early in setup where you are presented with that option. You should also check your motherboard manufacturer for any necessary updated drivers and check with VIA as well in that regard, check them all to see about any issues or special needs if installing Vista. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ |
