I was so excited when got my VISTA ver.5384 downloaded and burned to disc! I
couldnt wait to install it and try it out! I ran the compatability checker
and had only minor driver issues (of course i assumed i could deal with those
after, for they were only the web cam and the 1394 net adapter ) So anyway i
ran the upgrade install seemed to go smoothly till the desktop was loading
omg soooo slow!! then it happened the the driver isssues with my ATI
graphics, my monitor, my camera, my so called unkown device (still dont know
what that was lol) and so on... these were happening so fast and all at once
that my brand new HP PC crashed. ok restart try to deal with this one issue
at a time ... well to make a very long story short I (whom i consider pretty
savvy with my computers Dell, Compaq, HP and Gateway) was frustrated so i
decided to do a clean install and started over... same issues ready to throw
it all out the window ... slept on the situation ( drives me crazy when i
cant figure something out) got up this morning did a complete PC factory
recovery, went to microsoft downloaded every update i could find for this HP
(security, software and hardware) installed it all... then i went to HP.com
did an automatice device detect.. downloaded all the updates that pertained
to my system ( I stress this cause when it comes to firware its very case
specific) downloaded and installed it all. Now i never used any of the
programs after all of this except my IE 6. after all was said and done I
grabbed my DVD of VISTA ver. 5384 did the upgrade install and omg EVERYTHING
WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH. no slowness issues nothing I AM SO ECSTATIC I LOVE
IT!! VISTA ROCKS!! btw my graphics is ATI express 200 it detected and
installed without any problems. this was so worth the headaches and the
frustration.. i just wanted to share with all of those out there my
experiance and how i finally got it to work. Hang in there it will come to
you to!!
