vista is crap

Guest

I just built a killer system,with way more requirements needed to install or
run vista.
Go to install vista, it starts the install, them tells me my drivers for
the device i'm installing with are not there, every thing was in place before
i started,now this, i start again from formating a brand new 320gb drive set
all the bios and now i can't run vista because of the drivers for the dvd are
gone,can't install drivers eather because i don't have an operating now.what
to do? Talk about money wasted, i purchased vista- ultimate and home premium
for my two systems in my home.
what microsoft makes a product that they can't even work, but yet release
it to us the public, My opin it sucks and wish i could get my money back,stay
with xp or run win98se this is the best thing they ever made, old but good.
IDEA- SHOULD GO TO MICROSOFT WITH A BIG ROCK TIE THE TWO CRAPIE PROGRAMS TO
IT AND THROW IT THROUGH THERE WINDOW. THANKS FOR NOTHING.

sorry to hear you have all this aggravation. I would think someone with your
knowledge would wait and see rather than be the first guy on the block.

Hope your issures are resolved easily

Take time to figure what went wrong. These things are a bit of a process of
elimination. Sometimes a 'minimal' install is a good idea, then add hardware
piece by piece. Vista should recognize most DVD and CD-ROM drives. If need
be, if the DVD drive is the problem, get your hands on an inexpensive
ordinary DVD ROM drive that is known to work with Vista and use it to
install. And so on ..

I probably can't help you much further but at what point exactly did the
install routine first throw up a problem? Was there an error message, and,
if so, what was it exactly?

That's the price you pay for being an early adopter. You have to blame only
yourself. How many 1st generation products are trouble-free? Not many.
That's especially true for software. When was the last time that a software
program ran perfectly without a single patch whatsoever?

Your right,but they've been working on this for 3-4 years,+ I should have
listen to myself and not the computer jerk where i purchased all the new hard
wear, but it's still good to vent, and worn others not to make my mistake.

I figure you are doing a clean install from scratch - is that so?

In reality, it's more like 2-2 1/2, thanks to the "reset".

"... run win98se this is the best thing they ever made..."

Have you tried running Windows 98SE on this ultimate box of yours (read from
another of your posts in this thread)? Let us know how that works out.

Did you run the Vista Upgrade advisor?

Have your tried removing the offending DVD drive to see if Vista will
install?

I assume by your comment "...wish I could get my money back..." that you
purchased OEM copies of Vista? If you purchased retail copies, you -can- get
your money back. If you purchased OEM copies, then you need to figure out
what your problem is and fix it, because you consider yourself a system
builder. Or... you need to go back to the person that sold you OEM copies of
Vista and give that person an earfull because you are not a system builder.

OK So you start the computer, put the DVD in the DVD tray and the thing
starts booting up .. does the install routine start?

AFAIR Win98 does not install on machines with a 2+ GHz CPU; I tried
this in vain on a P4 2.4C.

Ron,

Gee... mixed feelings about doing that... It only proves something works in
XP and doesn't fix the problem in Vista. Better, I think, to identify the
source of the problem and address it. Most likely, it's a driver issue. But
could be a combination of things...

Thanks,

Lang

Roy,

Yeah... that's why I wrote "Let us know how that works out." I don't know...
maybe too cheeky, maybe not...
