Actually guys, the problem I see most people having on install are:
Not updating their Chipset inf files
Not updating Bios prior to installation of the operating system
not installing old software's .exe, or installation file in the Windows Xp
SP2 mode prior to installing the software.
if they do those 3 things after activation on the first boot, they shouldn't
have many issues. I realize however, folk with Nvidia , and Via drivers have
a tough time finding the correct inf's and drivers. Especially on pre built
machines. But those that built their own, shouldn't have to many obstacles.
