What a joke

Hello Everyone

I finally got Vista installed, after spending days trying to get it to work.
All the errors I got had nothing
to do with the reason why, for example one error stated that it would close
down to prevent damage
to the machine, and everytime there would be a different error message, that
is not logical.
The installation wizard has great difficulty finding drivers even when they
are on the same drive, for
example, if you remove a card and change slots on the motherboard, it can
not find the drivers even
though they were previously installed.

The reason my installation failed numerous times is because of the slot that
the video card occupies
(even when you configure the bios to use the second pci-e slot and the users
guide says you can use
either slot) but microsoft would not allow it. Why would I use the second
slot because I have a adaptec
39320 card and asus recommend using the first pci-x slot and there is not
enough room for the video
card in slot 1 with the 39320 in the first pci-x slot ( bad design by ASUS )
before you say it, yes I have
the latest bios for my motherboard which is a M2N32 WS Pro and the video
card is a power color
ATI X1600Pro.

It seems to me Microsoft need to lift their game.

Thank you.

You're welcomed and the next time do keep the whine to yourself.

Is there a warm bottle and a Pamper in the house?

And you don't suspect a bad mother board as one of your problems. When the
primary video slot is borked I certainly would.

Well this is unlikely as Windows XP Pro and Windows XP X64 both seem to work
ok with the video caard in either slot.but not Vista.

Motherboard BIOS handled it, Vista should have in all likelyhood unless the drivers were still the 64 bit for the 32 bit version of Vista.
If you were trying the drivers from 64 bit Xp to 64 bit Vista however.....
Good luck, I don't see 64 bit being ready for much of anything but an email machine.
