Help please! I upgraded to Vista Business from Home Premium so that I could
connect to our work domain and now don't have access to my installed
programs....???
 
There is no upgrade path from Vista Home Premium
to Vista Business....you must have performed a "custom
installation" which resulted in a "clean install" of Vista
Business. As a consequence, you'll need to reinstall
your missing programs using the original installation
media.

Thanks for the info... just assumed it did the same type of upgrade as
previous versions since it said 'upgrade'.
 
I did a Vista upgrade install and most of my programs were intact. I did
have to download and reinstall drivers for 2 programs (printer and sound) and
i had to uninstall and reinstall McAfee Security Center before it would work
right.
