Windows Vista question by YourNeibour on 12-11-2006 at 04:22 PM
Hi,
I have a 2.6ghz processor and Asus P5VDC-MX mother board, I'm getting a copy of Windows Vista Developer Edition from my company and kinda nervous it may not work cause I've tried installing RC1 and RC2 and everytime I tried booting it from the DVD it froze on the main screen where it sais choose language etc. If anyone has installed that version of Vista has that issue been resolved at all?
Thanks

i have installed RC1 & RC2 and both worked... at the first time..

could it be a motherboard issue because I have installed xp with no issues.

hey,
I am not sure about the devoloper edition but to make sure that your PC is up to the specs for vista, download the upgrade advisor Here
It might just be ur PC not the software so give it a try see what it says.
Hope this helps
Pete

cause I was able to run the install from within windows xp and i got the point where it started to copy then got an error message saying that error copying files and aborted it.

was it a burned disc?

it always freezes for ~5minutes for me, just let it go for a while and see if it works.

It's a copy of an msdn version of vista developer edition, I will leave it for 10 min or so and see if it unfreezes
