I can't change to Vista Basic, I'm stuck with Windows Classic. Please help
me. I just finished installing Vista 5472, and then this happens. Please Help

What graphics card do you have, and have you installed the correct drivers
for it?

I have an Intel 82845G Chipset. The first thing I did was update them. I
don't know what's wrong. Do I have to re-install? Also, at the beggining of
the Windows Logo is biigger than the on Vista 8354. The screen also flickers
at the beggining.

This is a case where I would do a Custom (clean) Installation of Vista 5472.
Not every installation has gone well for me either.

Ck. the graphics card to make sure you have the latest appropriate drivers
for it and that it is compatible with Vista--I don't know if you have 32 bit
or 64 bit, but as has been replete on these groups, not all graphics cards
will work with Vista--I'd reinstall the latest apprporiate driver.

If that doesn't remedy things, try doing Startup Repair.

*Run Startup Repair*

Win RE:

If you have a Vista DVD, there is a promising "feature" or utility in Vista
called Win RE or Windows Recovery Environment.

***Accessing Windows RE (Repair Environment):***

1) Insert Media into PC (the DVD you burned)

2) ***You will see on the Vista logo setup screen after lang. options in the
lower left corner, a link called "System Recovery Options."***

3) Select your OS for repair.

4) Its been my experience that you can see some causes of the crash from
theWin RE feature:

You'll have a choice there of using:

1) Startup Repair
2) System Restore
3) Complete PC Restore

Good luck,

CH

Very well then, I will do a clean install just right now. Well, do you think
I should install xp and and do a clean install from there? That's the only
way i got Vista 5384 to work correctly. What do you think?

P.S. I was hoping you were online so you could see my message. Thanks

I would install XP first in order to keep a stable base to work with on the
machine. Turn on Automatic Updates and get it up to date. Don't worry
about the optional stuff.
