Thing is when i boot it from Dvd ( When i reboot) i boot it, then once it hits the install screen like the blue wavy background. and it just get stuck there, nothing happens just sits there, why is it doing this? i had the same trouble with the RC versions. i just dont get whats one

So what is wrong, why is my PC hateing Vista trying to install? ARHH i just wanna test it >.< so damn unfair.

This is the screen i get up to but not the Window there. just that blue background. just sticks there.

Have you tested your memory? Maybe there is a bios update for your computer that would help out. Are you trying to install 32-bit or 64-bit? Your second image is not coming through for me.

32-Bit

Bios Update u say O.o. hmmm guess ill look

Also what do u mean "tested My Memory"?

and i have no clue how to bios update

[Znod]

Bad memory is one reason an OS might not install or run properly. When you start up to the Vista DVD, look carefully at the menu options. You will find an option to test your memory. I don't recall if you get to the option on the first screen or not

[Shinrua]

Do u mean when i boot from startup? or what

[Znod]

You boot from the Vista DVD.

all i get this

if this is what u mean

[Znod]

Can you go beyond that screen using "Install Now?" If so, then do so, and start looking for options other than installing. Eventually, you will come across the test-memory option. Post more screen shots if you want, and I'll continue to guide you.

It could simply be that you are impatient Many people who have SATA drives experience a 'freeze' of up to a few minutes between screens during the installation process.

I simply suggest you get to that blue wavy background again and then go make a cup of tea If after 10 minutes still nothing has happened then post back

PS: There is no sata issue once vista is installed

I think, its because your memory is 512MB, and for Windows Vista ULTAMITE, to work on your computer you might need to upgrade your Memory RAM andmake it 1GB.
