it's the video did the same. removed usb wireless mouse, usb ups connector, and connected lcd with vga port. presto! windows 7!! then put the usb stuff back np. funny win7 installed fine in a vmware environment with the aforementioned all attached. virtual drivers i suppose. : )
VGA...whodathunkit me too. FINALLY! switched my lcd to vga and ditched my usb peripherals. installed windows 7, replaced my usb stuff. it's all good. Thank You for the tip!
thank you. i got the new iso from the ms public beta site and install fails at the last, exactly as before. i'm leaning toward hardware incompatibilities since i can install under vmware. any more ideas?
I've tried mounting the ISO, DVD install, and VMware. Virtual Machine install works (just runs like crap in a box). The other two methods fail at last reboot. I've tried installing to 2nd partition (HDD 0) and second drive (HDD 1) with no joy. I'm running Vista SP2 on an Intel Dual-Core box...
hehehe...i know. sometimes anything might help. i sort of resolved it by adding "Everyone" with full priveledges in the security tab. vista does not see any of my pcs when i try to add an object so something's awry.
Since I installed SP1 (RTM), none of my XP boxes can access Vista shares (denied) previously shared without incident. The printer on the Vista box IS accessible. Permissions are set to full and network is set to private. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.:(
