I keep getting an incompatible software that I am suppose to uninstall before
upgrade.
The problem is I cannot find this program anywhere on my system.
It is Sonic.slo.bump.

How do I get around this?
Thank you.

That name doesn't sound right. Roxio is Sonic's consumer division so you
could uninstall all your Roxio (cd/dvd burning) programs and that would
probably do it.

Be smart - make sure that there are Vista drivers for all your hardware
- inside and outside your computer. Printers, mice, scanners, special
keyboards, motherboard, sound card, video card, webcam, etc. Do this
*before* you plunge into an upgrade and then come back here being sad
that your multimedia keyboard doesn't work in Vista.

Thank you Malke. According with the advisor, all the hardware should work.
This Sonic thing is the only problem so far.

You're very welcome but my point - and I probably didn't express myself
clearly enough - was that you should not rely alone on the Upgrade
Advisor. It is not infallible. Take the time to go to hardware mftrs.'
websites and make sure drivers are really available. Take the time to go
to software mftrs.' websites and do the same.

I tried to go to Sonic to find out more but there is nothing there. I even
delete the only registration entry I could find about Sonic (after I deleted
all Sonic software) but I keep getting the same message from the advisor.

I guess I am going to try a clean upgrade.

Probably that is your best course of action then. Good luck.
