VIsta crashes constanly with a blue screen

[Guest]

I have just upgraded from windows xp professional to vista ultimate.
Install was ok but Vista does not work.
Every time it starts, it shows me desctop and crashes with a blue screen
givin stop error
0x00000119(0x00000001....
It says something about Video scheduler.
Does anyone knows what it is related to?
And what is that video scheduler and maybe I can somehow try to disable it
in safe mode?
Safe mode runs ok without any problem.

Sounds like you don't have Vista ready drivers for your video card.
Either that or something that was carried over from the previous
configuration of XP Pro that messed up the Vista install. I would first
go into Safe Mode with networking and see if your card has updated
drivers. If not, I would clean install Vista, which you can do by wiping
the hard drive, install Vista without imputing the Product Key and then
install it again with the product key. This will fool it into thinking
it's updating itself.

That's an interesting idea but when I installed upgrade I have chosen option
to wipe out previous version to windows.old directory and install vista as
clean install.
It never gave me a chance to set-up any drivers because it keeps crashing in
1-2 minutes after it goes up.

Use a floppy from your hard drive manufacturer's web site to not only
format the drive but to also update the master boot record and see if
you can do it then.

Be sure to back up your data first.
