Upgrade from home premium to ultimate?

[Guest]

I plan to upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. Mainly for back up and file
management purposes. When I upgraded from XP several programs stopped
working and had to be reinstalled. I ran into the usual issues that people
encountered when upgrading, but nothing too catastrophic. Now that I have
Vista, will I have to endure the upgrade problems with programs, or is the
upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate have minimal impact? I assume it will
be a fairly transparent upgrade, but I wanted to hear from those who have
upgraded from from Home Premium to Vista Ultimate.
Thanks,
Dan

It's minimal -- there won't be any new compatability changes with upgrading.

You're working with computers and software. One always has problems to
endure. So the best strategy is to make sure you have a tested backup
and recovery solution in place for when the inevitable challenges and
problems arise.

Hi I have both Vista Home Premium and Ultimate Retail full versions. I tryed
the upgrade to Ultimate just to try it and I have an ATI vedio card and
catylst control center would not work after I upgraded but it always works
from a clean install.

might download the latest drivers from ATI, they released some new ones just last week.
