I am trying to upgrade my wifes Dell computer withthe upgrade to Vista disk
that they sent me. Upon tryingto upgrade, it goes through everything util
it gets partially through the "Expanding files" display when it reboots for
the first time. Problem is that after it attemps to reboot, nothing comes
on the screen. Just a blank black screen. NO messages no nothing.
The only way that I can get the computer to come on at all now is to reboot
by holding the power button in until it shuts off then pressing the power
button to turn it on again. Then I have to be there for when it briefly
asks if I want to boot from the old Windows system to which I have to
immediately move the curser up to that and hit enter. Then it will reboot
back to Windows XP.
How do I either get Vista to finish the install or get back to windows xp to
where it will reboot normally to XP?
This Vista is a pain in the you know what!
Thanks
